WASHINGTON (AP) -
Drunken driving deaths were up
last year for the first time in a
decade, a study released yesterday
by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration shows
The total number of people
killed in 1995 in alcohol-related
crashes was 17.274, the report
said. That's a I percent increase
from 1994.
The number of drunken driv-
ing deaths is down from a decade
ago by 28 percent.
The percentage of alchohol-
related deaths compared to the
total number of highway accident
deaths also increased slightly to
41 percent in 1995. The change
stands out from the steady decade
of decline in the percentage, from
52.2 percent in 1986 to 40.8 per-
cent in 1994.
WASHINGTON (AP) - College
and university officials were
tapped by the FBI in the early
1960s for information on Mark
Lane, a lawyer retained by Lee
Harvey Oswald's mother to clear
her son's name, according to
records released yesterday.
The records are among a
batch of 141 FBI documents and
33 CIA documents released by the
Assassination Records Review-
Board, which is compiling a pub-
lic record of President Kennedy's
assassination. Some of the infor-
mation has previously been re-
leased.
The FBI documents offer a
glimpse of the bureau's extensive
efforts to track Lane's public ap-
pearances in 1964. during the
Warren Commission's investiga-
tion of the Nov. 22. 1963. assassi-
nation.

COLOMBO. Sri Lanka (AP)
- Wounded by a series of defeats,
separatist rebels today called for
a truce and renewed talks to end
Sri Lanka's 13-year-old civil war.
The government has previ-
ously said the separatists must
surrender their weapons before
renewed talks and vowed to "tame
them" if they did not comply.
Over the past nine months,
the guerrillas have suffered a num-
ber of sethacks with the military

of northern Jaffna city, and forc-
ing the rebels to withdraw to

The Brazilian Olympic basketball

in Slay Hall and eat most of their
meals in Todd Dining Hall.
Scouts for the team looked at
other North Carolina cities, including
the N.C. State and Duke University
campuses, for potential training sites
for the team. Greenville was selected
for the superior facility ECU had to
offer, as well as Greenville's "off-the-
beaten-path" location and for what it
had to offer the athletes during the
time that they are not in training.
The team set tentative practice
times twice a day from 9:30 a.m. to
1 1:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30
p.m.
"Most, if not all. practices will be

ECU is well known across the state
and even the country for the depth ot its
programs for deaf and hardi Shearing stu-
dents.
The support services tor deaf and
hard-of-hearing students recently became
part of the department for disability sup-
port services. Tony Schreiber is the as-
sociate director of the program and elabo-
rated on the services his department
provides.

cued speech, note-taking services, and
tutorial assistance Schreiber said. "We
provide services for approximately 30
deal and hard-of-hearing students. It's the
largest deaf population ol any of the UNC
schools
The program started in 1976 with
four students, the result of the efforts of
one man on the board of governors who
had a college-aged deaf daughter.
Schreiber said the services at first were
very clumsy and rudimentary, but
through the years the program has
grown.
"Now the university has a national
recognition in terms of the support ser-
vices that we provide Schreiber said.
"The deaf students that are attending
ECU are here only because we exist"
ECU teaches classes in American
Sign Language for those that are inter-
ested in learning it and also has a sign
language pre-interpreter minor. But

Future doctors get
hands-on experience
High school
students venture
into medicine
Kelly Sullivan
Staff Writer
ECU's School of Medicine re-
cently prepared the graduating class
of 2006 for future careers in health
care professions.
Twenty of eastern North
Carolina's rising high school freshmen
and sophomores were selected for the
Ventures Into Health Careers program.
The program, designed to intro-
duce highly motivated and disadvan-
taged youths to various health care
careers, ran from June 16-29.
"Before the program, I knew 1
wanted to be a doctor Lauren Price,
a freshman from White Oak High
School in Jacksonville, said, "but I
wasn't sure I was ready for it"
The program is open to disadvan-
taged black, Hispanic and Native
American students from the region.
The Ventures program allowed
participants to gain first hand experi-
ence in what it is like to work in health
professions. In addition to attending
classes in math, science and commu-
nication, participants followed doc-
tors, nurses and physical therapists
on rounds in mental and health de-
partments and at Pitt County Memo-
rial Hospital.
"If participants have the infor-
mation on what it takes to be a health
care professional, then they can make
a good decision in high school about
their academic curriculum Debbie
Ramey, Ventures program coordina-
tor, said.
"We were seeing years ago. when
there was a big need for health care
professionals, that they (students)
weren't prepared when they enrolled
in the community colleges or univer-
sities which forced students to spend
time in remedial studies, Ramey said.
The program began three years
ago to address the concern toward
the disproportionate number of mi-
nority health care workers to the mi-
nority population. The program aims
to increase the number of minorities
entering health care professions.
"In eastern North Carolina, we
have a large minority population, and
in many cases, they are in rural un-
deserved areas Ramey said. "We
hope someone who comes from there
would want to return home to prac-
tice
Students interested in the pro-
gram must currently be enrolled in
either eighth or ninth grade and nave
no less than a B grade point average.
They must also have the recommen-
dation of a counselor or teacher, com-
plete an application and essay, as well
as show an interest in health careers.
Out of nearly 200 applicants,
only 20. eight boys and 12 girls, were
selected for the program.
By the end of the two-week ses-
sion, most participants had found
their niche in various health care pro-
fessions.
"I've found out about careers
that 1 didn't even know existed Rob-
ert White of New Bern said. Before
the program, Robert considered a
career in business. Now he said he is
interested in biomedical engineering
Simone Brown, a West Craven
High School student decided on a
career while accompanying a local
doctor on rounds.

until I met Dr. Robin Taylor. I really-
like her field, and that's family prac-
tice she said. "She influenced me

ing trend among colleges and uni-
versities to provide greater educa-
tional services to non-traditional
students. The sessions provide po-
tential students with information
about admissions documents, de-
gree options, and financial aid.
"A lot of the students are older
students who need to know what
kind of financial aid is available, and
what aid is tailored towards their
needs said Denney.
Other areas that the informa-
tion sessions cover are the subjects
of advising, since the program pro-
vides post-admission advising and
advising throughout the student's
career. Advising is based in the
Weekend University office, located
in the Erwin Building.
Denney said that the program
is not just for adults who want to
begin a degree, but is also open to
others who began a degree in the
past and simply want to finish their
education. Weekend University of-
fers a total of four undergraduate
degrees.
"We have a three to five year
rotation schedule, and everything
that's required for the major is fit
into that time span Denney said.
"Students can finish their degrees
in as little as three years while they
attend on the weekends, or they can
take up to five or six years, depend-
ing on their needs
Weekend classes will be held on
Friday nights and Saturdays. Infor-
mation sessions also cover the
schedule of classes. The classes on
Saturday are broken into sections
from 8 to 11 a.m 11:15 to 2:15 p.m
and 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Students have
the option of taking these classes
with a combination of other classes
offered during the weekdays.
Information sessions will be
held in the General Classroom Build

end University begins on July 20.

person for a career as a professional in-
terpreter. Learning sign language is just
as difficult as learning any other lan-
guage.
"American Sign Language is in fact
just like any other legitimate language.
It has its own grammar, syntax, and a
culture that supports it Schreiber said.
Mr. Michael Lupo, who is an educa-
tional specialist in the department for
disability support services and teaches
sign language classes, agrees with
Schreiber's assessment He said that the
sign language minor offered here at ECU
will prepare students only for the most
elementary communication.
"The sign language minor students
can only hold a basic conversation in sign
language Lupo said.
Both Schreiber and Lupo said that
their program will provide a good base
for students who are planning to con-
tinue their study elsewhere.
"The interpreters that we use nowa-
days have gone through our training
program, but they've also become pro-
fessionals in their own right" Schreiber
said.
Lupo said that there are places for
further study for those who wanted it
"They would go to Gallaudet Uni-
versity, or the National Technical Insti-
tute for the Deaf Lupo said. "The ideal
interpreting program would be four years
of American Sign Language only, and
then a Master's degree in interpreting
Both Schreiber and Lupo also elabo-
rated on the other areas that are ad-
dressed in the pre-interpreter minor, such
as the ethical issues involved in being an
interpreter.
"There's a code of ethical conduct
which is drilled into students from he
moment they get into pre-interpreting
classes, and it's reinforced and examined
from ten different angles Schreiber said.
"Everything is confidential. An in-
terpreter has to go in and be profes-
sional Lupo said.
Prospective interpreters can take
exams to be officially certified, although
certification is not a requirement to be
an interpreter. On the state level, there
are two different exams, the Educational
Interpreter Certification and the Com-
munity Interpreter Certification. There
is also an exam given by a national orga-
nization, Registry of Interpreters for the
Deaf. For interpreters who find jobs in
special fields, such as legal or medical,
they would need to have a background
in the appropriate vocabulary.
The best way to learn sign language,
both Schreiber and Lupo agree, is to go
where it is being used. Just as learning a
foreign language is most productive in
the country in which it is spoken, a sign
language student will have the most suc-
cess when among other sign language
practitioners. As ECU'S program for deaf
and hard-of-hearing students demon-
strates, there is a need for people who
can communicate in sign. Both
Schreiber and Lupo agreed the need for
good professional interpreters is high.

The minimum
wage is due to
increase soon,
but that still
won't help
meet the costs
of attending
college.
In a time when the Chief Executive Officers of some of our
leading corporations are making over 200 times the amount of
money that their average employee takes home, it seems a bit
ridiculous for Congress to be haggling over a mere 90 cents.
We wonder why Congress should be the decision-maker in this
process.
When was the last time a Senator made minimum wage? It
it was about a decade ago, then he or she would have been
making about 90 cents less than the minimum wage is now.
That's right, 90 cents. Ten years ago the minimum wage was a
whopping $3.35. Today it's gone up to the unbelievably high
$4.25.
That means that a minimum wage earner working 40 hours
per week for 52 weeks would bring in $8,840, before taxes. No
Christmas holiday, no Thanksgiving break, and especially no
July 4th off for that lucky stiff. No siree, they would have to
work eight hours a day. five days a week to garner that fat
paycheck. They would be lucky to if they could take a weekend
off once a month.
Ten years ago that same person would have made $6,698
for the year. But think about the standard of living back then.
Although it was the '80s when everything seemed to cost an
arm and a leg, it wasn't nearly as much as it is now. Reagan
was in the middle of his second term and prices were begin-
ning to skyrocket, but the financial crunch didn't come along
until Bush was in office. Seven thousand dollars would have
gone much farther at that time then nine thousand dollars
goes in 1996.
Now, a bill passed the House of Representatives in May
that would raise the minimum wage another 90 cents over the
next two years to a total of $5.15 per hour. That's $10,712 a
year for our hard-working friend mentioned above. Not great
bv any means, but a start
What does that mean to us, the students of East Carolina
University? Well if you're here, that means you've already taken
an incredible risk. Getting a college education isn't cheap, and
taking on that expense is dangerous. Either someone is paying
for you to be here, or you're paying for it yourself, or you're
using financial aid to help meet the expense of attending col-
lege. , ,
If someone is paying your way through, then you re one of
the lucky ones. You probably won't need to get a job to supple-
ment your income (as well as get in the way of your classwork)
and you hopefully won't have any debt hanging over your head
when you get out
If you're paying for it yourself, then you already know the
harsh reality of minimum wage and how far it will get you. If
you're going to school full-time, then more than likely you only
have a part-time job, which also means there is a good chance
you're making minimum to boot Of course, you could be full-
time, but that's a shame because it can really cut into your
studies. Even if you aren't making minimum now, you probably
did when you started, so you're savings may not be that much.
If you're on financial aid, then the actual monetary con-
cern may not hit you until you leave the university and have to
pay off those loans. But pay you will, and you better pray that
you're making more than minimum wage when those bills come
Needless to say, the minimum wage isn't nearly enough for
most people to live on in this country. In fact that 40 hour per
week worker might be classified as earning a wage that is be-
low poverty level. To raise the minimum wage by a mere $1.80
in 12 years is criminal, especially considering the exponential
increase in the cost of living.
Yet despite all of these despairing remarks, we should feel
comforted that we live in North Carolina, not only because the
cost of living here is so low in comparison to many parts ot the
country North Carolina has one of the lowest percentages of
hourly workers making at or below minimum wage in the en-
tire South. We come in at about four percent, whereas Missis-
sippi and Alabama are over double that at eight and half and
nine percent respectively.
If North Carolina had to come in last at something, we at

Cosmic Clinton delivers overdue laugh
? -???????? lI" .?rtUw4 nr,A nav' WP n3
In an election year, there always
seems to be a new standard set in the
media's theater of the absurd. Just
when I thought that Gerald Ford's
cabinet meetings with his dog and
Nancy Reagan's meanderings were the
ultimate in political ha-ha's, we find
Mrs. Clinton breaking through to the
other side. All it took was Bob
Woodward's new book The Choice to
open up a can of beans that consisted
of Hillary talking to Eleanor Roosevelt
through some spiritual exercise. So.
is this some diabolical republican
smear campaign, or is it all just a
comic footnote in an already stressful
year? Boy, I'd have to say that media
is just having a little fun.
With the Unabomber and a rash
of church burnings as the daily head-
lines, the First Lady's eccentric prac-
tices are a welcome relief. Hillary
practices a simple meditation process
called visualization. This technique
is commonly used by athletes to so-
lidify their goals. There is no ritual
involved, nor are any sacrifices neces-
sary; it is a focus enhancer. What is
so funny is that the media knows that,
but that's alright because ultimately
this is good press for the Clintons.
Hillary has to appreciate every
news magazine in the nation putting
her picture right next to Eleanor
Roosevelt This is exactly what she

needs in the wake of the Whitewater
circus. Maybe that's why so many
republicans have been rallying to Mrs.
Clinton's defense. They must certainly
be aware of the fact that it's in her
husband's favor to be sharing the bill
with one of the great names in 20th
century politics. Unfortunately , the
elephants haven't been so lucky and
would gladly have this media atten-
tion laid to rest
This media spoof has done little
damage in ail reality. Actually. 1 can't
help but find Hillary that much more
appealing because of her New Age
exercises. The 18-to 25-year-old gen-
eration has been waiting for a slightly
more hep figurehead and now we have
one. Besides, all the concrete meth-
ods of political reform have been ex-
hausted. What's wrong with a little
spiritual healing if it stops the bleed-
ing in Washington? Bi'l and Hillary
should take this thing and go with it.
How about Seance Across America?
We can all hold hands and contact
Lincoln. What about National Yoga
Day? Me and Bill on the Whitehouse
lawn in the Mantra. These are just
some suggestions for the visionaries
out there. Change is good.
Ultimately, the press has just de-
livered a light-hearted punchline. No
harm, no foul. Perhaps the media
possesses an uncanny knack for know-
ing when America needs a tension
breaker. It's something that keeps
Saturday Night Live on the map and
our democratic juggernaut rolling.
Soon enough it will be time to put ail
kidding aside and si.art digging into
the real mud-sling of November. None
of this other-worldly escapade should
be taken into account when you
launch your ballot. It's just a nice
piece of democratic memorabilia to
put in your back-pocket for a day
when laughs are scarce. Until then,
we should all keep our fingers crossed
that Hillary's next cosmic contact will
be with J.D. Rockefeller, asking to help
bail us out.

Are women sex objects? Do we
ask to be treated as pleasurable ob-
jects for the opposite sex?
Head out on any Thursday
night in downtown Greenville and
it would appear that we are all in-
volved in a huge sex market. It feels
like a human assembly line with the
viewers selecting the merchandise
as we pass by. "Oh. I'll take the
tall dark man with the yellow shirt,
and add the Italian man for dessert
with cream on top We are seen
as purely sexual toys. I find this
scene and the recent media atten-
tion of men and women completely
degrading.
I thought the modern women
of the '90s were intelligent, think-
ing people of any color or shape
who defined themselves not by
their bed-buddies and style, but by
their own character, career, goals
and compassion. But. it the ideal
woman is displayed by many
women's magazines these days, my
view doesn't hold water.

cover: "The Mayflower Madam re-
veals 16 surefire ways to please

porn stars as celebrities.
Of course, most women's mags
have long used romance, love, fam-
ily and sex as mainstays, but now
some are pushing the limits of de-
cency. They're becoming more taw-
dry and displaying women more as
bodies, without souls or minds. If
women accept these images of
themselves, they are losing the
battle against rape, domestic vio-
lence and sexual harassment.
Advertisements in other peri-
odicals are busy playing the sex
game.
?Many of the ads are as close
to pornographic as you can get
some ads display women as help-
less objects, having to look good
and be sexually available to men
ays ex-fashion model Ann
Simonton of Media Watch (quote
appeared in USA Today). Another
often-heard criticism is that
women's magazines, which sell
glamour and depend heavily on cos-
metic ads, help create an unrealis-
tic image for women, shutting out
their pages to women who are eld-
erly, disabled, homely or over-
weight. No wonder a recent sur-
vey by Grey Advertising found 70
percent of women think that ads in
magazines insult their intelligence.
It is hard to see how American
women can be content to see them-
selves displayed in magazines as sex
toys, and at the same time, break
the glass ceiling in Corporate
America and beyond. Women are
making a huge mistake not to ques-
tion this overdose of sexual images
and obsession with the Big O. Or-
gasms, are wonderful in the right
context. However, the American
media has taken an obsessive turn
and gone overboard with sexual ex-
ploitation of women and men in our
society.
With Heidi Fleiss in the news,
pornography, violence and AIDS
growing globally, it's wrong to pass
off all sex as pleasurable or mor-
ally correct If women tolerate an
image of themselves as sex objects,
it will make gender equality un-
reachable.

"A Drop in the Bucket" is
just what it claims to be: a very
tiny drop in the great scream-
ing bucket of American media
opinion. Take it as you will.
Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
Independence Day, like most
post-Christian holidays, has its
base in something horrible.
Not independence, certainly.
There's nothing horrible about
freedom. But often the price of
freedom, the sacrifice that has to
be made to attain freedom, is hor-
rible. And tragic. But somehow,
it's also glorious.
The founding of America, as
we all know from history class,
is one of those horrible, tragic,
glorious things. The freedom we
enjoy today was paid for by gal-
lons of blood, American and Brit-
ish both. Well, 1 guess technically
it was all British in those days.
And conditions would probably
have gotten better over here
eventually even if we hadn't re-
belled. But that's beside the
point.
It's the sacrifice of all those
people whose blood was spilled
in the name of freedom that we'll
be celebrating tomorrow, with
our picnics and cookouts and
fireworks displays.
But, again like most post-
Christian holidays, we don't re-
ally think about that so much.
Who, after all, can ponder blood,
bayonets and bombs bursting in
air when they're chomping down
on a hot dog with the works?
Who would want to? We get
caught up in the trappings of the
celebration rather than its more
serious intent
And that's okay. I don't
think all those people gave their
lives so that we could sit around
and be mopey once a year. The
Fourth of July is like a wake in
some ways, a celebration of our
forefathers' lives and accomplish-
ments. I like to think that they're
all floating around in whatever
afterlife there might be, celebrat-
ing right along with us.
But maybe we should take
just a minute to be serious. A
wake is a complicated emotional
event, after ail. People may chan-
nel their grief into joy, but that
grief is still present There's still
a serious undertone to the cel-
ebration, a pondering of matters
larger than a hot dog, a thought
process that cleanses the soul.
But what to ponder?
Sacrifice? Possibly. But, and
forgive my tone, sacrifice is too
commonplace. People make sac-
rifices all the time, and other holi-
days are about sacrifice too, so
why ponder that when the
Fourth offers its own unique con-
cept to ponder? What better
thing to keep in mind on Inde-
pendence Day than, well, inde-
pendence?
Freedom. The freedom to
choose. The freedom to vote. The
freedom to think what you want,
when you want, and to act upon
those thoughts. The freedom to
have that hot dog with the works,
or maybe just some mustard and
ketchup if you want. In matters
large and small, freedom is per-
haps the most important founda-
tion on which America is built.
But how free are we? We're
all slaves to something, after all.
Whether it's love, family, a job
or even mere survival, there are
some things in life to which we
must surrender a few freedoms.
Corporate America, for ex-
ample, demands certain appear-
ances and conformities; deviation
is frowned upon. So if you hold

Burnin' down the house! That's
probably what some of the mass audi-

day night's Strutter concert. This Kiss
cover band is known for their bril-
liance to step up and fool the audi-
ence into believing that they're actu-

an illusion it was.
It sort of freaked me out to see a
bunch of maniacs on stage running
around in black and white make-up;
however, the music was excellent The
band was on time and surprisingly
they sounded exactly like the origi-
nal '70s rock and roll nightmare.
The most amazing thing 1 saw at
this show was the ability of each band
member to be able to concentrate on
their part and their part alone while
still keeping in mind how to react with
each other as a band, stay on time
and smile for the fans. And this was
all done with the same enthusiasm
that Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter would
have presented. Well, maybe not ex-
actly the same. I mean, we are talking
about KISS here. Anyone who is a
true fan knows that there is only one
KISS.
As the night wore on and the
smoke was just starting to split my
vision into a haze. "Cold Gin" streaked
out through the amplifiers. Gene
picked up a massive torch and began
to breathe fire. The audience and its
energy grew to levels higher than I
could have imagined. I could have

Sting, the former leader of the
Police, is back in action with a new
album and a new tour. Last Saturday
night the stage at the Walnut Creek
Amphitheater was not only graced with
Sting's royal presence but also that of
Natalie Merchant, who is following
Sting's lead by going solo these days.
While both Sting and Merchant are not
as musically exciting as they were when
they both were part of a band, their
joint ticket made for a solid night's
entertainment that was almost worth

Around 8 p.m Merchant strolled
onto the stage dressed in a form-fit-

the rebirth of the spirit of the fam-

speaks to every family, everywhere.
"I love this show said
Faircloth with a smile. "From the
beginning to the end we see these
people who are greedy and arguing
and fighting with each other, but at

Striptease needs stripping down
Jay Myers
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
I'll be the first to admit that I fell
for Striptease's in-your-face promo-
tional campaign, but not for the obvi-
ous reason. I wasn't as much inter-
ested in seeing Demi Moore nude-as I
was seeing a film version of a Carl
Hiaasen novel and possibly seeing
Burt Reynolds' big comeback. But
that's not why most of you are read-
ing this review, is it?
In order to get the question out
of the way, yes Demi flashes her
breasts on the big screen. Was it worth
it? No, and I'll explain why. It seems
that when Demi is hired for her sexual
presence (which is more often than
not), the films tend to be horrible.
Cases in point: Disclosure, The
Scarlet Letter and Ghost. In each of
these movies the focus is more on her
body than her acting, which I guess
is good because her acting in those
films is pathetic. Perhaps that's as it
should be, since her body seems to
be what brings in the big bucks. It is
rumored that she received 12 million
dollars to appear in Striptease, the
highest salary any actress has ever
made.
She doesn't deserve it Her char-
acter, Erin Grant, is supposed to gar-
ner sympathy from the audience be-
cause of the difficulties she faces. Yet
Moore looks so bored and dispassion-
ate in her role that it becomes easier
to forget she's in the movie than it is
to root for her.
Here's the skinny on the plot.
Erin Grant's husband Darrell (played
by Robert Patrick, the former
morphingT-1000 from Terminator 2)
is a small-time criminal and big-time
loser who causes Erin to lose her job
at the FBI because of his thievery.
Without a job, she also loses custody
of her daughter Angela (a fine perfor-
mance from Demi's real-life daughter
Rumor Willis). In order to raise

Smokin' In The Big Room: gener-
ally monotonous with occasional rays
of sunlight peeking through the sur-
rounding fog. Unfortunately the rays
aren't bright enough to keep The
Hazies from becoming another luke-
warm band of the '90s.
Vinnie Smokin' In The Big
Room is a blend of smashing drums
and the same guitar licks with less
than stellar singing. While this may
work for one song. The Hazies go to
the well too many times to keep the
album fresh. Instead of going in dif-
ferent directions they end up sound-
ing like a heavy opening club band
who made one song turn into 11. It
almost didn't have to be that way.

The disc starts out pretty well
with a song called "Trip Free Life
It's not a bad song, with a simple
message of wanting no responsibil-
ity in life. The album was looking
promising.
The road stayed smooth with the
current single, "Skin & Bones A
definite album highlight, it shows
that these are actually some versa-
tile musicians who know what they
are doing.
Or maybe they don't. Just when
the album gets rocking, it lulls badly.
A barrage of mediocre songs charac-
terized by monotonous music and
vocals and disjointed lyrics follow for
a while until the next high point,
"Dancin' At Seven The instant the
song starts you can tell it's different
from the rest. With a more upbeat
and definitive groove, it starts to
make you have faith in The Hazies
yet
But fame is fleeting. It's back to
the grind of monotonous tunes until
the end of the album and its final
song, "Floating Away Were they sav-
ing the best for last? Not exactly. It's
more like ending on a good note.
Though "Floating Away" is simple,
it turns away from the steady crunch
of the songs before it to become a
confirmed good song. A few more of
these and The Hazies would have a
hit album.
The general problem with the
album is that the band will have a
good groove and not know what to
do with it. "I'm The One, for ex-
ample, starts out with a great little
guitar riff but then the rest of the
band plays the same thing as before,
leaving the good part subdued and
ultimately wasted.
With a little time and guidance,
The Hazies could become a great
band, but with a debut like Vinnie
Smokin'In The Big Room, they may
never get that chance.

ing unless he sat down. A fight nearly
broke out over the right to dance ver-
sus the duty to sit down like the rest
of the lazy crowd. Security made the
dancers sit down, and the crowd ap-
plauded the guy who was willing io
fight for his right to sit without being
disturbed by a joyous man dancing.
But not me. If you want to sit at a
concert, save yourselfsome money and
watch VH-1 at home.
After witnessing such a ridiculous
display of aggression and oppression,
I was so angered that the only thing
that made me smile was the thought
of Merchant kicking the bully in the
crotch while she danced around.
Merchant is an excellent per-

fortunately, I was too angry at Walnut
Creek and everyone around me to fully
enjoy the performance.
Fortunately, I calmed down by the
time Sting appeared and everybody got
to their feet and danced. For some rea-
son, the collective consciousness of
Walnut Creek indicated that it was OK
to stand up and dance if you wanted
to now that the main act was on stage.
This show was the fourth time I've
seen Sting solo, and staying true to
his nature he once again displayed solid
talent His new album, Mercury Fall-
ing, isn't as light and fun as his last
album, but it still illustrates a creative,
intelligent mind at work.
Unlike Merchant though, Sting
doesn't mind going back to his popu-
lar roots with the Police. The audience
constantly sprang up like a jack-in-the-
box when Sting crooned such songs
as "Roxanne" and the ever-popular
"Every Breath You Take
Highlights from his solo efforts
were the songs "Englishman in New
York which included a rap segment
sung by the saxophonist and "Frag-
ile which featured Sting playing
acoustic guitar as opposed to his usual
bass.
Sting is an old pro who has been
making music for two decades. He is
good at what he does, and judging from
Saturday night's performance he still
enjoys his art My only complaint is
Sting's unwillingness to vary his song
choices. When you include his Police
songs, Sting has an entire library of
songs which he could play. However,
time and time again he chooses the
same selections. I would like to see
Sting again in the future, but I would
also like to see him be a bit more dar-
ing than he has been in the past
Despite all of its problems and
disappointments, the StingNatalie
Merchant show was time well-spent
For the most part the performers dis-
played solid talent and a willingness
to put on a good show. I'm glad I went
but I'm still not sure if I ever want to
suck up to Ticket Master's price and
see another show at an arena as con-
fining and suffocating as Walnut Creek.
On a scale of one to ten, Sting
and Natalie Merchant each rale a seven.
Walnut Creek, however, rates a two.

have to be surrendered. Still, it's bet-
ter than living in China, where the
government dictates how many chil-

than living in some Third World dic-

It's better than starving in Af-

with oppressive religious factions in
the Middle East, or living anywhere
that treats freedom like a bug to be
squashed underfoot.

to help Erin get her daughter back
by putting pressure on Dilbe:k, threat-
ening to expose his club-hopping.
Then the regular turns up dead at a
lake where Lt. Al Garcia of Miami
Homicide (the always amicable
Armand Assante) is vacationing with
his family. From there the movie turns
and turns and turns around on itself
in the pulp crime novel way familiar
to avid Carl Hiaasen fans.
Although the story is captivating
and funny, it tends to fall down when
the camera turns to the strippers.
Most of their lines aren't needed for
the film to pro- ,?
ceed and their
stripping cer-
tainly isn't nec-
essary to the
plot. This is a
major drawback
for the film, one
that keeps it
from being a
truly good film.
Besides
that, the strip
routines aren't
the least bit
sexy, even
Moore's highly
touted ones. ?????????????
This is both good and bad for the film.
It's good because it conveys the sense
that these women are just doing their
job, going through the routine time
after time to earn the almighty dol-
lar. It's bad because it's boring and
bogs down the film's otherwise excel-
lent pacing.
The other unsightly flaw in the
movie is the ending. From what I un-
derstand, test audiences not only
laughed at all the wrong parts in the
body of the film, but also blanched at
the original ending in which Dilbeck
allegedly rapes Grant. Because
Reynolds is so likable and funny as
Dilbeck, the audience couldn't accept
this violent act from his character. So
the filmmakers did some re-editing to
Moore looks so
bored and
dispassionate in
her role that it
becomes easier to
forget she's in the
movie than it is to
root for her.
clean up the comic pacing and re-shot
an entire new ending. This new end-
ing has merits as a concept but fal-
ters seriously in its execution.
Even though Reynolds turns in
an eccentric performance as the white-
haired, addle-brained Dilbeck (one
that should have his agent's phone
ringing off the hook) and Robert
Patrick is equally good as the
bumbling, pill-addicted ex-husband, if
anyone deserves the outrageous sal-
ary Moore took home it is Ving
Rhames.
Rnames is best known for his
?????? performances as
Marcellus Wallace
in Pulp Fiction and
Eriq LaSalle's
brother-in-law
Walter on NBC's
ER. He also ap-
peared earlier this
summer in the Tom
Cruise action block-
buster Mission Im-
possible. In Strip-
tease, Rhames
steals the show as
the Eager Beaver's
animal-loving, over-
protective bouncer,
"????????'????? Shad. His perfor-
mance alone could rate an eight for
its delivery. Every scene Rhames ap-
pears in adds another level to the rich
characterization of Shad, whose story
is so funny and compelling that you
end up wishing they had made the
film about him instead of Erin Grant
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
As good as this film is, it has
some serious flaws. If they had taken
as much time fine tuning the last
scene as they did getting shots of
Moore's butt and had taken out most
of the quick non-sequitor jump cuts
to strippers doing their thing, then
the film could have rated as h'gh as
an eight.
As it is however, Striptease rates
a mediocre six.

KISS right down to the center. After
massive applause, Peter jumped be-
hind the kit and began to play a drum
solo so in sync that it could have been
none other than the man himself. Not
only did these guys look and sound
like KISS, but they played their in-
struments the same way their forefa-
thers did.
After seeing the course of events
that led up to the guitar solo 1 fig-
ured that I was about to be let down
at any time. Luckily, I was wrong. Not
only did 1 catch a ten minute solo from
the spaceman himself, his expression
never changed and he gazed off into
the lights as he had been for the en-
tire duration of the evening.
Much deserving of praise was the
true essence of the band, its feminine
side, Mr. Paul Stanley. This guy had
it down. From the smiles to the shouts
to the kisses blown to the crowd, he
never let you forget how important
his presence was on that stage.
Stanley was an excellent frontman. He
let you know he was there and didn't
give a damn whether you liked it or
not. He got the show done, got paid,
took the make-up off, grabbed his girls
and left for yet another evening full
of festivities. Hopefully, it worked out
the same way for Strutter.

to KISS, I wouldn't doubt it

Overton recruits
strong players for
next season
Dill Dillard
Senior Writer
After a sub-par year by the stan-
dards of the ECU baseball team, Head
Coach Gary Overton and his staff hit
the recruiting trail to fill holes in the
Pirate Roster. The first items Overton
and his staff needed to shop for were
position players to fill the gaps that
All-CAA second baseman now Phila-
delphia Philly Lamont Edwards and
co-captain outfielder Jason Head left
The purple and gold staked their
first claim in Garner where they found
Macon Jones, who is expected to fill
the hole at either shortstop or sec-
ond base. The Pirates also sought
another infielder from Belmont, N.C.
named Jason Linburger who can play
first base and is described as a power
left-handed hitter.
Despite the loss of Head and
Edwards, Overton's cupboard is still
not bare. This year's club was a more
potent offensive team and the Bucs
look to build on that with the combi-
nation of the incoming freshmen
along with key returning starters.
"We're not starting from scratch
by any means Overton said. "We
have four key players coming back
that we're ex-
cited about, that
being (catcher)

With a
nucleus such as
the one present
in Overton's pro-
gram, one would
think that if the
right players are
incorporated
into the ECU sys-
tem, in laymen's
terms, the Bucs
won't be bad.
"We want to
try to surround
these quality
players with tal-
ent in hopes of
not just to fill
offense Overton said.
This freshman class that has
more than enough offensive firepower
will be accompanied by N.C. State
transfer third baseman Ryan Massimo
who had to sit out
a year due to the
NCAA transfer
rule. Massimo will
bring an excellent
defensive game
along with solid
lumber to this po-
tential-filled squad.

cruiting in-state

tention is close at

Course review for
potential golfers
this summer
Craig Perrott
Assistant Sports Editor
Note: This is the third install-
ment in a series of reviews of golf
courses in the GreenvillePitt
County area.
I know that the Brook Valley
Country Club, site of this year's
Michael Jordan Celebrity Classic, is
probably out of the price range of
most college students, but I'm go-
ing to tell you about it anyway.
First of all, it's the most con-
venient golf course in the area as
far as location goes. For the three
people who didn't come out to the
course this weekend, follow 10th
street away from the campus and
you'll eventually come to the inter-
section where you cross Greenville
?i
Boulevard. Go straight through the
intersection and take the first right
past the shopping center onto Ox-
ford Road. The club is on the left,
down the road a piece. Sounds like
directions to the OK corral, huh?
I was lazy
this weekend
and took the
shuttle from
Minges to Brook
Valley for the
Jordan Classic.
There were sev-
eral buses run-
ning, and I made
the round trip
twice, but I had
the same bus
driver each time. He obviously
couldn't drive a manual transmis-
sion, as we sputtered and jerked
through every gear. By the end of
the day. Dill Dillard and I were sar-
castically referring to the older
gentleman as Keanu Reeves
("There's a bomb on the bus").
Anyway, the course itself is su-
perb. The fairways are of outstand
H ?
ing quality. The greens are good,
but on the same level as the other
local courses. They will deceive you,
however, as they're not as fast as
they look.
Brook Valley is not a really
long course, and
there is plenty of
shade and beau-
tiful scenery. Ac-
cording to Bryan
"the Mudd Man"
Mudd of WITN
Sports, who
played in the
Classic on Sun-
day, the course is
not as challeng-
ing as you might
think.
"You don't have to be a long
hitter to play well on this course
Mudd said. "If you hit it straight,
you'll be okay
That's the problem. If you don't
hit it straight, you'll be out of
bounds because the fairways are

Interested in building for a
healthy lifestyle? The summer could
not be a better time to get involved
with recreational services. Rec ser-
vices has something for everyone,
from Intramural Sports to drop-in rec-
reation.
The Recreational Outdoor Cen-
ter (ROC) is the place to rent a wide
range of outdoor equipment. The
equipment is available to students,
faculty and staff. The ROC is a great
way to help plan a camping trip for a
weekend getaway or a day of fun at
low cost.
If you're interested in living with
the wildlife for a few days, the ROC
rents backpacks, sleeping bags, tents,
tarps. lanterns, cooksets, stoves and
coolers.
The ROC is open Monday
through Thursday 3:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. and Friday 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The equipment rental rates are daily,
or on a three or seven day basis. Res-
ervations can be made in advance for
those who like to plan ahead. A valid
student ID or staff ID must be pre-
sented when borrowing equipment.
For those who enjoy the thrill of
heights, rec services also offers a
climbing tower. The tower is located
behind the Belk Allied Health Science
Building across from Ficklen Stadium.
It is open Tuesday and Wednesday
from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through July
24. Everyone can be challenged at the
tower with routes ranging from be-
ginner to advanced.
Beginners are only allowed to
climb, not belay (spot the climber). If
you are just starting out and would
eventually like to become an advanced
climber, you must pass a written test
and perform certain skills (all skills
are taught during the school year).
Rec services offers day passes at $2
for students and $3 for staff and
guests. A five-punch card costs stu-
dents $10 and staff $15 and a semes-
ter pass costs students $25 and staff
$35. The tower is open every Wednes-
day to students and staff for free climb-
ing.
Rec services also offers drop-in
recreation. Drop-in recreation includes
access to Christenbury Gym, the
Equipment Check-Out Center.
Christenbury Swimming Pool, Minges
Swimming Pool, Christenbury Weight
Room and Garrett Weight Room.
Christenbury Gym offers a place
to play some oasketball with a group
of friends or even individually. Bas-
ketballs, tennis balls, tennis racquets,
racquetball racquets and much more
can be checked out in the Equipment
Check-Out Center.
You can also cool off or swim
some laps in Christenbury or Minges
Swimming Pools. Christenbury and
Garrett Weight Rooms offer a variety
of free weights and cardiovascular
equipment for all types of individual
workouts.

programs stop by 204 Christenbury

very narrow. Also, there is plenty
of sand and some big bodies of
water to make you talk ugly.
One of my favorite features of
the course is the names that are
given to each of the holes. Some of
the more amusing ones include: Wa-
tery Grave, Long John, Valley of
Sin. Bunker Hill, Little Joe, Para-
dise Lost. Baffling Brook and
Smooth Sailing.
The highlight of the tourna-
ment Sunday was the appearance
of Ronald McDonald. Ronald, of
whose establishment I am a proud
patron, was hanging out at the 17th
hole. He had this huge putter he
called "the McSinker which he
said had a maximum distance of
150 yards. When asked whether he
was a short game or a distance
player, Ronald said he had trouble
of a different kind.
"I've always had trouble with
the hole that has the windmill on
it McDonald said.
If you just won the lottery, are
a spoiled rich kid. or just want to
splurge, you can call the Brook Val-
ley Country Club at (919) 756-5500
for more information on member-
ships, tee times and prices.
Rating: This week's rating was
I based solely on the quality of the
1 course, landscaping, difficulty and
convenience, not taking into ac-
count the affordability or the eat-
ing facilities. On a scale ranging
from driver to putter, with putter
being the best, 1 give Brook Valley
a "McSinker

EAST
CAROLINA
UNIVERSITY
"Last year I had an opportunity to live on campus and be
a winner. But instead I chose to live off campuswhat a
mistake. 1 got stuck with utility, phone and cable bills.
The security deposit I had to pay for the apartment really
cut me short on money. I had to eat my own cooking
and then wash all the messy dishes. 1 even had to clean
my own bathroomYuck! I didn't have time to meet new
friends because I had to spend so much time cleaning
my apartment-not to mention shopping for groceries. I
had an 8:00 class, and searching for a commuter parking
space was a big headache. If I had lived on campus, I
could have just walked to class. Boy, did I learn from my
mistakes. Now I'm back on campus with my friends!
