Students' near-fatal drug use
reflects designer drug popularity

SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
STAFF WRITER
Two students hospitalized after collapsing at a late-night party are
evidence of the popularity of a new and dangerous "designer drug
A 22-year-old ECU student, and a 21-year-old Pitt Community
College student were found unconscious on the front lawn of 506 E.
10th St. on April 4. Several members of the Sigma Pi Fraternity, who
were sponsering a late-night party, notified the Greenville Rescue
Squad when they found the students on their lawn, unable to
breathe.
Rescue personnel arrived on the scene at 3:46 a.m. and found the
students in a coma-like state. The students were taken to Pitt
County Memorial Hospital and placed on respirators. Both students
were released from the hospital on April 5.
Greenville Police found a Coke bottle filled with a clear liquid at
the scene. Analysis by the State Bureau of Investigations revealed
the liquid to be gamma hydroxy butric, or GHB. GHB, also known as
scoops and liquid ecstasy, is a clear, oily liquid which, when ingested,
gives users a quick high, followed by heavy sedation.
Using alchohol as a chaser to GHB is potentially deadly. The mix-
ture may cause extremely slow breathing or total respiratory collapse.
GHB can be made at home using chemicals, but officials warn that
unskilled "kitchen chemists" could produce samples with unknown
side effects.
Pitt County Memorial Hospital has documented several cases
involving GHB in the last 30-60 days. While this drug is not illegal to
possess, police are still investigating where the students obtained it.
Jeff Yurfest, president of Sigma Pi, expressed concern that GHB
is becoming too popular and people were associating it with fraterni-
ties.
"They were downtown drinking and they came here during a late
night Yurfest said. "They apparently took the GHB, but I have no
idea if they took it here or not. I got home from work and there were
two people passed out in our yard
Yurfest said he fears the incident will cause people to associate
the drug with the Greek system.
"Neither of them were members of this fraternity or of the Greek
system Yurfest said. "They just happened to be here when they
collapsed. It could have happened anywhere, but it kind of sucks
that it happened here
Yurfest also emphasized that the house on 10th Street is the
home of a few fraternity members and not the Sigma Pi fraternity
house.
"We have never had this kind of problem here Yurfest said. "It
isn't like someone was passing it GHB out from the fraternity. It's
a shame after all the effort that the Greeks have put in to clean up
our image on this campus that something like this happened
Students said the incident reflects the popularity GHB has
gained in the Greenville area.
"It's big on campus said ECU student Rebecca Ann Reynaud.
"It's all around. It's at the bars and its in the parties
There have been conflicting reports over whether or not GHB
can be detected in a drink. The high absorption rate of the drug
often prevents it from being detected in the emergency room.
"It does have a very strong taste said another student Ted
Rowell. "It's very salty
Donna Walsh .director of the Office of Health Promotion and
Well-being, said GHB is not classified as a date-rape drug because it
does have a taste.
"It has a slightly salty taste that people are overcoming by mixing
with cinnamon Walsh said.
Chris Arline, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council at ECU,
also had some comments on the incident regarding possible sanc-
tions against Sigma Pi.
"At this time I have seen no documentation that would indicate
Sigma Pi had anything to do with this Arline said. "I think that it
was just bad luck that it happened at a late night where a lot of their
brothers live
Arline also said the Greek system would try to arrange for speak-
ers on the subject to come to try to inform people about the dangers
of using GHB.
"I have done research on this drug since this happened and the
Greek system will be trying to spread the word that this stuff is a bad
thing Arline said.
Greenville Police said that they were put on full alert after the
incident. The Food and Drug Administration had been supplying the
department with information about the drug.

scoops, or liquid ecstasy, the drug has been gaining popularity in the Greenville area and nearly claimed
the lives of two local students earlier this month.
Effects of GHB scare reach
farther than ECU campus
Designer drug proves
deadly
GREENVILLE (AP) - An unapproved
bodybuilding drug that nearly killed two
East Carolina students earlier this month is
having a resurgence in North Carolina, a doc-
tor said.
Gamma hydroxy buturic (GHB), illegal in
two states, cannot be legally marketed
nationwide, the Food and Drug
Administration has said.
But in the past eight months, a Texas
teen-ager was killed and a Georgia woman
lapsed into a coma after ingesting the drug,
according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDCP).
The two college students collapsed April
4 after mixing the drug with alcohol at a
party near East Carolina. Both needed respi-
rators to resuscitate them.
But Dr. Sven Normann, of the Florida
Poison Information Center, said word has
gotten out that GHB produces euphoria,
increased sensitivity to touch and drowsi-
ness. It's also been hyped as an aphrodisiac,
he said.
The side effects include breathing prob-
lems and - when the drug is mixed with alco-
hol and other depressants - vomiting,
seizures, loss of bladder control and amnesia,

Graduating seniors with courses to be com-
pleted in summer sessions will now have the
choice of graduating in either the spring or fall
Commencement ceremonies.
The decision was made and announced by
university officials on Friday, April 11.
"We need to carefully examine our policies
to make sure that we are being fair to all our
degree candidates Chancellor Richard Eakin
said. "ECU's size makes it virtually impossible
for us to hold just one graduation ceremony
during an academic year
The decision was made in hopes of avoid-
ing problems for students whose families had
already made plans to attend the May 10 cer-
emony
"The December ceremony was established
specifically to recognize students who com-
pleted their degree requirements during the
summer and fall Eakin said. "But we under-
stand that many students who plan to finish
their courses in the summer would rather par-
ticipate in the May ceremony because it would
be inconvenient for them to attend in
December
The only stipulation for seniors finishing
their course requirements in the summer is
that their names will be printed in the
December program rather than the May pro-
gram.
The decision applies to those students who
will be finishing in summer sessions this year.
University officials are reviewing the situa-
tion and trying to devise a plan that will
accommodate all students when it comes to
time to graduate.
A recent resolution was written by the stu-
dent government association (SGA) in support
f those seniors fulfilling their course require-
ments during the summer.
The resolution state that no summer grad-
uation is available to those students complet-
ing their course requirements during the sum-
mer. It also said that undue hardship is creat-
ed for those students and their families who
would have to participate in the Fall
Commencement.
Since most students will leave the
Greenville area to follow their careers or con-
tinue their education elsewhere, the resolu-
tion listed this as another reason for reversing
the decision.
Another point of importance to SGA which
was included in the resolution was that seniors
should leave ECU on a positive note.
This resolution gives all seniors lacking
summer school credits the full support of the
SGA. The SGA would like to see a policy
allowing all seniors to participate in Spring
Commencement.

Several ECU and community organizations
have teamed up to hold the Third Annual
Earth Day Bike Rally.
ECU Environmental Awareness Club
(GALA), ECU Natural Extremes, Pamlico Tar
River Foundation (PTRF), the Cypress
Chapter of the Sierra Club and Unitarian
Universalist Congregation of Greenville are
organizing the event which will take place
April 20.
"Basically what we're trying to do is raise
money to extend the Greenville) Greenway
said Bike Rally Chairman Jeff Yurfest.
The Greenway is a paved path through the
wetlands in Greenville for people to walk and
ride bikes along while touring the wetlands.
The rally will con54clude with a five mile
bike ride. This will start at the Town
Commons, go through the Greenway, along
the bottom of College Hill, to Dogwood
Hollow, then past St. Peter's Church and fin-
ish at the Town Commons.
Participants in the bike ride will include
members of the community ranging from boy
scouts to ECU students.
After the bike ride there will be a family
picnic, eco-scavenger hunt, entertainment and
prize give-aways.
Mayor Nancy Jenkins and ECU Geology
Professor Dr. Stan Riggs will also speak.
The entertainment wiil include music from
members of Purple Schooibus, Hipbone,
Midnight Blue and the felly Smith Band.
The groups will raise money for the
Greenway througn the sale of T-shirts. 76 buy
a T-shirt people r-u.jt register for the rally. The
cost of registration is $10, which covers the
cost of the T-shirt.
"We got sponsors to cover the cost of the
T-shirts so the money we get will be profit for
the Greenway Yurfest said.
According to GAIA Secretary Sarah
McConnell, 80 percent of the proceeds will
benefit Greenway, TO percent will go to GAIA
and 10 percent will go to Natural Extremes.
Last year's rally raised over $1,000.
"We are currently in the process of putting
up fliers across campus about registering
McConnell said.
The bike ride will begin at 3 p.m. At 1:30
p.m. there will be a nature walk down the
Greenway guided by Biology Professor Dr.
Vince Bellis. At 2:30 the ECU Police
Department will talk with participants about
bike safety.
Interested participants may preregister or
register at the rally. To register or for more
information contact Yurfest at 758-1348 or
McConnell at 328-3434.

ARLINCiTON, Va. (AP) - Stuart Orkin, a developmental biologist at Harvard Medical School
says human cloning has "inherent risks that I think are unacceptable But that does not mean
lie thinks research into it should be banned.
"We may miss the boat in a sense" if all study of human asexual reproduction is outlawed,
Orkin told the National Bioethics Advisory Commission on Sunday. "There is some advantage
for research to go on
President Clinton formed the 18-member commission to study implications of human cloning
after a Scottish scientist in February presented Dolly the sheep, the first-known successful clone
of an adult mammal.
As the panel mulls over the ethical, scientific and policy ramifications of human cloning,
Clinton has banned use of federal money on such experimentation and suggested a moratorium
on private studies.
Both Orkin and Janet Rossant, a professor of molecular and medical genetics at the University
of Toronto, appeared to pique the committee's interest when they agreed that human cloning
may be premature while so much is left to study in animals.
"Is it possible that we can do most of the basic science on animals without ever creating an
entity which many people find offensive?" asked commission member Thomas Murray, director
of the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
Orkin did not advocate widespread cloning of animals. Plenty of research is left to do that
would not necessitate further cloning of any kind, he said. But researching human cloning could
lead to major advancements in such fields as organ transplants, he said.
"I'm not comfortable with the notion of banning any kind of research Orkin said. "However,
I am comfortable with moratoria on the implantation" of cloned human embryos because of the
"inherent risks that 1 think are unacceptable
Rossant said because not all animal research is directly applicable to humans, the board should
"avoid prohibiting legitimate research into animals or humans (because) it really has big poten-
tial for immense benefits in the future
The panel's mandate takes it beyond scientific ramifications of cloning into the hazy realm of
ethics.
Religious groups already have testified before the commission, which is now dealing with
whether to incorporate religious beliefs into the recommendations to Clinton.
"It's one thing to respect their beliefs but it becomes difficult to incorporate that to make
public policy Murray said.
Commission member Bernard Lo, director of the medical e tin. program at the University of
California, San Francisco, questioned whether scientific review boards should ask the motives of
laboratories seeking funds for future cloning projects. Others inwlved in genetic studies are not
required to answer such questions.

Unity and prayer service attracts 1,000
CHARLOTTE (AP) - About I,(KM) people attended an interdenominational
prayer service promoting unity and harmony in a city divided by recent
events.
This month alone, Charlotte has seen a controversial city council vote
halting arts funding and the killing of a black woman by two white police offi-
cers near a traffic checkpoint.
During the service Sunday at Memorial Stadium, government officials
gave words of encouragement and representatives of the Baha'i, Buddhist.
Christian, Hindu. Jewish and Muslim faiths offered prayers. Gospel choirs
sang rousing hymns.
Organizers had doped to fill the stadium with 24,000 people after send-
ing invitations to all 726 houses of worship in Mecklenburg County.
More than once, speakers urged participants to take their concerns for the
city and use them as a call to action.
State offers grants for pollution prevention
RALEIGH (AP) - A deadline of June 13 has been set for business and indus-

the state.
The state Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
expects to award the grants in July, the department said.
Grants offered this year will favor projects that reduce water consumption
through efficiency improvements or reuse of water. More than SI million has
leen awarded for 110- grants since 1985.
The grants are for projects that can be duplicated.

Harris Poll finds most believe smoking is addictive
NEVV YORK (AP) - The overwhelming majority of Americans believe smok-
ing is addictive, and most of them believe the tobacco company executives
share that belief, according to a Harris Fbll.
According to the poll being released Monday, 90 percent of the public
believes smoking causes cancers. Among smokers, 79 percent also believe
that, it said.
The nationwide poll of 1,006 adults was conducted by telephone by Ixiuis
Harris and Associates Inc. during March 26-April I. The results have a mar-
gin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
The pollsters found that 95 percent of the public, including 92 percent of
the smokers, believe smoking is addictive.
And 92 percent, including 88 percent of smokers, believe the tobacco
company executives also think their product is addictive.
However, the poll found that 40 percent agreed that tobacco is a legal
product and the companies should be allowed to sell and advertise their
HICKORY, N.C. (AP) - More and
more cities and counties are offering
tax rebates to companies that build
or expand plants - raising the stakes
in the fierce competition for new
industries and their jobs.
"You don't do it because you
want to. You do it because you have
to said Union County economic
development director Lee Correll,
whose county lost a S.V5 million Wal-
Mart distribution center to
Pageland, S.C in 1995 after that
state offered twice as much in
incentives.
Local and state officials across
the country are wrestling with the
complex issues of whether to sacri-
fice potential tax revenues in order
to get more, and to whom they
should give them.
The fight heated up in North
Carolina after the state Supreme
Court last year ruled it constitution-
al for local governments to offer
incentives. Winston-Salem lawyer
William Maready had sued aftet his
city and Forsyth County gave more
than $13 million to 24 companies,
and a lower court ruling in his favor
had chilled local government
recruiting efforts.
Cabarrus County was among the
first to try something different: It
used tax rebates to get Corning Inc.
to build a massive fiber-optics plant
that will create more than 600 jobs.
Other recruiters took note of
Cabarrus' success, and dozens of
local governments have adopted or
are considering similar policies.
In 1996. the N.C. General
Assembly approved a reduction in
the corporate income tax; job-cre-
ation tax credits for all 100 counties:
and worker training, machinery and
equipment tax credits. The compa-
ny could get $19 million from newly
approved state tax credits by 2000.
The county promised to return
85 percent of the company's proper-
ty tax payments for the first five
years.
Corning won't say how much it is
investing, but county officials esti-
mate the company would get S8 mil-
lion in tax breaks if it invests $300
million.

Development Director Maurice
lvv ing said the county offered more

to be in the game
The grant policies work like this:
A company that builds a new plant
and pays property taxes for five years
can get much of that money back in
the form of a grant. The grants are in
addition to more traditional assis-
tance such as land, site work, water
and sewer line extensions and roads.
North Carolina local govern-
ments are requiring minimum
investments ranging from $500,000
under a proposed Union County
policy to S3 million in Cabarrus
County. Many localities have set up
sliding scales that tie the size of
grants to the amount companies
invest, although Catavvba has also
linked them to factors such as jobs
created and type of industry.
Competing for industry used to
be a game played largely by the
states.
North Carolina pioneered the
idea M) years ago by developing a
highly regarded community college
system, offering free job training and
helping with utilities, roads and tax
credits.
Other Southern states responded
by sweetening their financial pack-
ages, and now North Carolina's
incentives pale in comparison.
In the early 1990s, North
Carolina couldn't match the esti-
mated �300 million in incentives
that South Carolina offered BMW to
locate in Greer.
Many economists think govern-
ments should stop competing.

School. "The argument is everybody

Even if the motive were ques-
tioned, private clinics that do not
use federal grants would not face
such scrutiny. That, commission
members suggested, would create
another moral dilemma.
While the panelists seemed to be
asking more questions than provid-
ing answers, many did agree that
whatever is recommended now will
come under scrutiny again as sci-
ence speeds along.
"Once the science is out of the
bag, somebody is going to do it
said panel member Lawrence
Miike, director of Hawaii's
Department of Health.

and a deceleration of the breathing
rate that can lead to a coma, he said.
Hospiul officials in Pitt County-
said they have seen at least six cases
of GHB overdoses since February.
"The possibility exists that the
person could use GHB and be left in
what we call a persisting vegetative
state said Dr. William Meggs. "F
would go on record unequivocally
and say; 'Stay away from this stuff
In December, the State Bureau
of Investigation released a report
about GHB warning of its develop-
ing reputation for causing hallucina-
tions, heightened sexual desire and
euphoria. The report also said the
drug has started popping up in
nightclubs, college campuses and
areas where high school students
congregate.
The ECU students said GHB is
considered en vogue in college cir-
cles.
"It makes you feel like you're
really drunk without the dragging
effect. It kind of pumps you up
said the 21-year-old male student.
"It makes you want to stay out
late. You don't want the night to end
until it wears off the other student,
a 22-year-old female, said.
The federal Drug Enforcement
Administration wants to have GHB
classified as an illegal narcotic, simi-
lar to cocaine. Rhode Island and
Georgia have already outlawed it and
five others - California, Florida,
Texas, Massachusetts and Hawaii -
have bills banning the drug in differ-
ent stages of enactment.
At ECU, the overdoses were a
wake-up call to university officials,
who are planning a program next fall
on GHB and other trendy drugs.
The Inter-Fraternity Council, a
student association of fraternities,
will help organize the event, presi-
dent Christopher Arline said.
"It scares the hell out of us, and
we don't want to lose any of our
friends to this he said.
Already, the office of Health
Promotion and Well-Being at ECU
has information on GHB available,
according to Karen Boyd, associate
dean of students. Officials took fur-
ther action after the overdoses, con-
tacting the student newspaper
about doing a story and passing
information to residence halls.
Greenville police are trying to
find the supplier of the GHB that
led to the two overdoses, Lt. John
Teel said.
A young man who said he lived
out-of-town told police he brought
tr - GHB-filled Coca-Cola bottle to
the parry, offering it free to anyone
who wanted it. By the time police
confiscated the bottle, it was virtual-
ly empty, Teel said.
In the meantime, education
aixiut the drug's potential effects
needs to get out, Meggs said.
"These people could have quite
possibly died Meggs said. "These

Even if the motive were ques-
tioned, private clinics ihat do not
use federal grants would not face
such scrutiny. That, commission
members suggested, would create
another moral dilemma.
While the panelists seemed to be
asking more questions than provid-
ing answers, many did agree that
whatever is recommended now will
come under scrutiny again as sci-
ence speeds along.
"Once the science is out of the
bag, somebody is going to do it
said panel member Lawrence
Miike, director of Hawaii's
Department of Health.

and a deceleration of the breathing
rate that can lead to a coma, he said.
Hospital officials in Pitt County-
said they have seen at least six cases
of GHB overdoses since February.
"The possibility exists that the
person could use GHB and be left in
what we call a persisting vegetative
state said Dr. William Meggs. "I
would go on record unequivocally
and say, 'Stay away from this stuff
In December, the State Bureau
of Investigation released a report
about GHB warning of its develop-
ing repuration for causing hallucina-
tions, hc.ghtened sexual desire and
euphoria. The report also said the
drug has started popping up in
nightclubs, college campuses and
areas where high school students
congregate.
The ECU students said GHB is
considered en vogue in college cir-
cles.
"It makes you feel like you're
really drunk without the dragging
effect. It kind of pumps you up
said the 21-year-old male student.
"It makes you want to stay out
late. You don't want the night to end
until it wears off the other student,
a 22-year-old female, said.
The federal Drug Enforcement
Administration wants to have GHB
classified as an illegal narcotic, simi-
lar to cocaine. Rhode Island and
Georgia have already outlawed it and
five others - California, Florida,
Texas, Massachusetts and Hawaii -
have bills banning the drug in differ-
ent stages of enactment.
At ECU. the overdoses were a
wake-up call to university officials,
who are planning a program next fall
on GHB and other trendy drugs-
The Inter-Fraternity Council, a
student association of fraternities,
will help organize the event, presi-
dent Christopher Arline said.
"It scares the hell out of us, and
we don't want to lose any of our
friends to this he said.
Already, the office of Health
Promotion and Well-Being at ECU
has information on GHB available,
according to Karen Boyd, associate
dean of students. Officials took fur-
ther action after the overdoses, con-
tacting the student newspaper
about doing a story and passing
information to residence halls.
Greenville police are trying to
find the supplier of the GHB that
led to the two overdoses, Lt. John
Teel said.
A young man who said he lived
out-of-tewn told police he brought
the GHB-filled Coca-Cola bottle to
the party, offering it free to anyone
who wanted it. By the time police
confiscated the bottle, it was virtual-
ly empty, Teel said.
In the meantime, education
about the drug's potential effects
needs to get out, Meggs said.
"These people could have quite
possibly died Meggs said. "These

W: would like to take a moment out of our busy lives to spread a little sunshine. (We know,
that's not realty like us, but we're in a giving mood today.)
Our fellow student medium, The Rebel, has recently won two prestigious awards for their work
on the issue that came out last year. Our other colleagues over at Expressions also garnered
national recognition and praise last semester for their efforts on their publication.
In case you don't know, and shame on you if you don't, The Redeis ECU's student literary and
arts magazine and Expressions is our school's publication focusing on minority issues. Both mag-
azines are totally created by students. The submissions are all by students, and the editorial
staffs of both are comprised of students, as well. The Rebel is only published once a year and
Expressions comes out twice every semester, which is often a reason that knowledge of their exis-
tence is somewhat limited on campus.
?Ye would like to see 'hat situation change. We would like for more people to open them-
selves up and read these superior productions of our fellow students. We would like for more
students to try and actively participate in the creation of these publications.
And with the accolades that these two magazines have recently been given, perhaps more
focused attention can be brought to bear on them.
rfe at TEC applaud the staff and contributors of The Rebel and Expressions for a job well done.
Both magazines deserve all of the recognition that has come their way. Good luck in the future.

B-GLAD mad about ads
lb the Editor
We write this letter in response to
;dte two ads placed in your paper on
I0 April by Another Way Out, that
; seek to portray gays as living lives of
sexual promiscuity and lesbians as
(victims of abusive relationships with
:men. The statement by the "ex-gay"
man spying "AIDS was one of the
�beat things that could have hap-
pencd-to me is one of the most
ignorant remarks any person could
make with regard to issues of HIV
j end AIDS . AIDS is not some pun-
ishment from God upon homosexu-
als. If it were, why would lesbians
have a lower risk of infection than
heterosexual men or women? Why

infected by the blood products they
must have to induce normal clotting
of blood?
- Many mainline Christian church-
es do not share this group's narrow-
minded opinion of the issue of orien-
tation. They affirm our relationships
and support the spiritual growth of
gays, lesbians, bisexuals and individ-
uals'who are questioning their orien-
tation. Lesbians do not pair up
with other women out of emotional
dependency rather than true love
We all form relationships with
those of the same sex because they
are who we truly love. Portrayals of
our lives and relationships as not val-
ued, intentionally or unintentionally,
give license to those who would
attack us in the name of some hate-
ful interpretation of Christian
Scriptures.
We question the judgment of the
editorial staff of The East Carolinian
for publishing such an offensive mes-
sage in its pages. Would you also
accept an advertisement from the
members of the Neo-Nazi party or
other groups which practice discrim-
ination in our society? Would you
publish an ad from this same group
that says Jews must repent or burn
in Hell? Or do you only accept ads
which target non-heterosexual indi-
viduals?

. � Congrat ubttonsyo The RtM maga-

showcase of the best student artistic
end literary talent, should be ashamed
of the way they treat die artists and
jtvriters whose work they publish.
Writings and art works were pub-
lished a award-winning work from

monetary awards. As of April 1997,
over a year after the work was select-
ed, the winners have not been paid,
and many of the works submitted
were damaged and one is partially
missing The Student Media secre-
tary, Yvonne Moye, said, "The budget
for these awards had to be spent on
the printing of the magazine Mr.
Wright, the faculty media adviser, was
informed that the winners had not
been paid their promised awards in
October.
The action taken by the ECU
Student Media has been to cut in half
the already low budget for awards in
1997 and pay both years winners. The
awards are an insulting $35 for first
place, $25 for second place and Si 5
for third place. The Rebel manage-
ment offended these creative people
who make the magazines award-win-
ning existence possible by paying
such meager awards. We are also out-
raged because no action was taken to
pay the award winning entries from
last year until the student media
adviser was threatened with this com-

DAVIS
Can't we all just get along:
?
Recently, The East Carolinian ran an
advertisement from a group called
Another Way. The group is a Christian
organization of ex-homosexuals who
maintain that God fulfilled their
needs and therefore healed them of
their h�"noscualit. I've heard a lot of
talk about the ad, mostly criticizing it,
but I figure, "Hey, this is America.
They can say what they want
While exiting the offices of The
East Carolinian yesterday, I ran into an
acquaintance of mine who happens to
be a very active member of B-GLAD
(Bisexuals, Gays and Lesbians
Advocating Diversity). He was a little
ruffled under the collar about this ad,
and informed me that he was going to
write "screaming letters to the editor"
and launch a massive counter-ad cam-
paign.
Now, I have nothing against the
counter-ad campaign. Like I said, this
is America. But when I got to thinking
about the "screaming letters to the
editor" bit, I realized that the fellow
has no grounds for them. Actually,
they might undermine his position,
and that of B-GLAD's, severely.
So I asked him, "Well, have you
called this 1-800 number in the ad?"
"I checked out their Web site (also
in the ad) and I decided that anyone
who says that AIDS was the best thing
that ever happened to them (homo-
sexuals) isn't worth talking to he
said.
Now, I'm not sure I'd agree that
AIDS is the best thing that might ever
happen to me, but I did know a fellow
who had a high possibility of being
HIV positive. Strange as it might
sound to us normal folks, this fellow
did count that as a blessing. He saw
even the possibility as a sign that he
ought to pursue a career helping AIDS
victims. I bet all those people he's
helping right now are thinking his pos-
sibility of having the disease was the
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
best thing that ever happened to
them. (He graduated and I never
found out if he was truly positive or
not.)
More importantly, this conversa-
tion made mc realize three things
a!xut the actions of B-GLAD in thi�
situation which are quite revealing I
hope they're not an example of how
the members of B-G1.AD normally
conduct themselves.
First, I'm all for diversity, and I
thought that B-GLAD was too. It would
seem to me that if the members of B-
GLAD were really advocating diversity
(as their name suggests), that they
ought to be celebrating the fact that
there are homosexuals out there who
hold a view opposing theirs. That is
what diversity means, after all. If B-
GLAD does not support diversity, but is
rather just another bunch of political
whiners (and I hope this isn't the case),
then perhaps they ought to change their
name.
Secondly, if B-GLAD is successful in
their campaign to have the editor refrain
from printing ads pertaining to people's
beliefs in sexuality and religion, then
they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The same First Amendment rights that
allow B-GLAD to print ads for Blue
Jeans Day and Pride Week allow the
people at Another Way to run ads as
well.
And third, given die lack of research
done by members of B-GLAD, and
given the snap judgment of my friend in
the offices of The East Carolinian, I
would have to say that this Christian
group is a victim of stereotype and big-
otry. 1 felt like I had stepped into an
alternate dimension - the Christians
were promoting love and the gay rights
group was being prejudiced. Perhaps
once a member of Another Way has been
contacted and a dialogue is opened
between the two groups, then some
judgments can be made.
I once read a Peanuts comic strip in
which Snoopy was writing a book. It was
a book of theology and its title was Has
It Ever Occurred To You That You
Might Be Wrong? I could plainly see
from my friend's expressions that it had
not, in the least, occurred to him that he
misfit Ik- wrong. I think he rruv bet e
been afraid to consider that possibility.
I can understand why. The world
view of Another Way, if it is right, would
mean my friend would have to do some
changing in the way he thinks. It might
mean he'd have to be uncomfortable for
a while. But isn't that what diversity is
for? Isn't the main benefit of diversity
that the presence of other ideas and
beliefs challenges us to understand our-
selves and our own beliefs, as well as
considering the opinions of others?
Diversity is a two (or three or four) way
street.
In closing, I would like to comment
that 1 do understand why the members
of B-GLAD feel as hostile as they do.
The Christian groups on campus have. .
not acted in a way that is very loving
toward homosexuals. In my Bible there
are lot of commands about not judging
others and loving one's neighbor.
Last week, during Pride Week, I
overheard quite a few hateful and hurt-
ful conversations from people who are
supposed to be God's representatives.
Only yesterday I heard about an inci-
dent at the Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship where a female student was
driven to tears because she wanted to
point out that the attitude of some
Christians was inconsistent with their
claims that God's love is in them. She
was harshly treated and, as stated, dri-
ven to tears.
"vfc don't all have to agree. America
isn't about agreeing. But if we can't talk
to each other and team from one anoth-
er's ideas, then somebody needs to call
up George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson and let. them know their
"grand experiment" has failed.
It's unfair to let non-grads walk
lb the Editor,
Recently, we, the student body of
East Carolina University, have been
subjected to the whining of a group of
students who feel that they should be
allowed to graduate this spring even
though they still have one or two
classes left to complete. This group of
students feel that it is unfair that they
were not at least told they would be
unable to graduate at the next cere-
mony.
However, if said students will con-
sider the definition of graduation,
they will then realize that it is both
reasonable and fair to prevent them
from graduating at that time and,
moreover, that any notification of this
fact is simply unnecessary.
Graduation is a ceremony at which
students who have successfully com-
pleted an entire course of study are
recognized for their accomplishment.
Thus, if a student lacks even one class
from said course of study, he is not eli-
gible for graduation. This fact is so
obvious that it should not need stat-
ing. The inability of the students in
question to comprehend this fact says
to me that they have not learned
much from their time here at ECU
and should not be allowed to graduate
anyway. In conclusion, it would unfair
to the many students who have com-
pleted their studies (and deserve the
recognition of their achievements
that a diploma represents) to force
them to share their special day with
those who have not.

Ptays Metalllca by

One Door Down
Pat reid
STAFF WIITCI
Soifje things are just plain strange.
Oife of these would have to be the
ideW of playing MetaUica on cellos.
However the strangest thing of all
about this is that it works, and sur-
prisingly well.
-4c seems that in 1993, four cellists
at the Sibelus Academy in Helsinki,
Finland, got the idea of playing
MetaUica on their cellos. So, they
raked through their MetaUica records
searching for playable songs. Due to
the ohysical demand of cellos, songs
with, ast solos were out of the ques-
tion. So, they sorted through the
playable ones to find songs that would
beHbn and entertaining. They even-
tually narrowed down the list. But the
question remained, "Would people
reajh like it?"
$�, after three years of practicing
and, honing their skills, Apocalyptica
ploved their first show at a local metal
clqb, The crowd got so into the show
tha&chey actually concluded the show
by- singing along to "Master Of
Puppets Shortly after the quartet
was, signed and began recording an
album.
-Now, after two more years, the
fhm of those recording sessions has
been released in the VS. In the
mejtotimc, the band has been opening
forsuch acts as The Sex Pistols, Bad
Religion, and Sepulture on their tours
irvnnru Maybe with this break on
American soil, they will bring their act
to us. In the meantime, we still have
the CD.
The CD contains material span-
ning MetaHka's entire career. The
opening song is their hit from a few
years back, "Enter Sandman The
quartet tries to cover every facet of
the song, so there's one cello giving
the deep rhythm beat while others
play various leads and "vocal" arrange-
ments. The rhythm part takes a few
moments to get accustomed to, but
once the other cellos join it, it
becomes a tight song that flows
smoothly.

Life In General, the dynamic duo that
seems to be making their mark in the
studio, are back with another release
called One Door Down. The album
starts off with a song cajled
"Goodbye Rom this, I was able to
already catch a grasp of what I was to
hear - a unique acoustic sound that
followed a progressive maturity all in
its own.
This record is something that the
guys in R.E.M. would love. The next
song, "Better Off flows just like the
first. They aren't the same song, they;
just move with respect to each othet
Sort of the way that Jason leVasseur
and Jerry Chapman do. They both
write, play acoustic and sing; however,
they're not onto anyone else's sound.
It's easy to tell that these guys are
doing their own thing.
As the album roils on you'll hear a
really powerful tune called "Skin
Where the lyrics for this song ("Rip
me open, peel me down from side to
side 1 am you ate time has tried to
wander") are coming from. III never
know. The most amazing thing about
the lyrics is that they don't fit into
context with the music that is being
played. The lyrics move in 3 totally
different direction. And although they
move in separate ways, they find their
way back to one solemn purpose. At
the end of the song, the message is
complete.
The next track on the record is
called "Eagle It's an acoustic song
set to a slower pace than the rest of
the record. There's a big buildup the
first time around. It's sore of a tease,
they don't take you anywhere else,
just right back to the verse. This is
good writing and a descent display of
dynamics. You aren't let down that the
song doesn't pick up. It actually helps
you appreciate it a bit more. As a
result, the listener is positioned for
listening to the tunes that follow on
the record. Like I said, it's good writ-
ing.
The song on the record that I
believe holds the most promise is
"Cow Tipping Anybody that's a

Circumcised men have varied sex
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
'Circumcision offers virtually no health
benefits but men who are circumcised
-tend to have more varied sex, a recent-
ly published study said.
The report by University of
Chicago researchers found no signifi-
cant differences between circumcised
and uncircumcised men in their likeli-
hood of contracting sexually transmit-
ted diseases. But the study in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association did find "significant differ-
ences between circumcised and uncir-
cumcised men in terms of their sexual
practices
"The difference was greatest for
masturbation - ironically a practice
that circumcision was once thought to
limit the study said. It said 47 per-
cent of circumcised men reported
masturbating at least once a month vs.
34 percent for their uncircumcised
peers.
The difference in frequency can-
not be explained but it does "cast
doubt on the Victorian-era notion that
circumcision reduces the urge to mas-
turbate the study said.
In addition, circumcised men were
found to be nearly 1.4 times more like-
ly to engage in heterosexual oral sex
than uncircumcised men. They were
also more likely to have had homosex-
ual oral sex and heterosexual anal
intercourse.
The study was based on an analysis
of data collected from a sample of
1,410 men, aged 18 to 59, in the
United States, which has one of the
world's highest non-religious circum-
cision rates.

Larry FTynt, the porn king who first gave life to Hustler magazine, has received
a lot of publicity lately. When acclaimed film director Milos Forman released his
controversial movie. The Peopkvs. Larry Flynt, everyone from critics to talk show
hosts had Frynt on their tongues. Even Mr. Fhnt himself went public, boasting
to the world that he, like the film claims, is a symbol of American free speech,
no matter what you think of him or his questionable publication.
Pornography has been a hot issue for feminists for a long time, and this
Thursday ECU will get the rare opportunity to engage in the issue when Laura
Kipnis, one of the most vocal feminists dealing with pornography gives a talk
entitled "National tomographies; Transnational Bodies
Kipnis has actively studied the social complexities of pornography long
before Woody Harrclson portrayed Frynt on the big screen. She is possibly best
known within the academic world for her 1992 essay entitled "(Male) Desire
and (Female) Disgust: Reading Hustler
Now that Frynt has been somewhat embraced by Hollywood and main-
stream media, Kipnis is more active than evet She is currently one of the most
cited scholars when discussing the controversy of pornography.
While much of the Larry Flynt debate has revolved around the issue of free
speech, Kipnis has moved beyond that. Her current work examines pornography
as culture, specifically a transgressionai culture that has connections with the
avant garde aesthetic
Kipnis' professional and academic history has more than qualified her as an
appropriate voice for such a controversial issue. She was trained in the arts, earn-
ing her M.FA at the Novia Scotia College of Art and Design in 1982; is cur-
rently an Associate professor of radio, television and film at Northwestern
University in Chicago; has published two books on sexual politics, Bound and
Gaged: Pornography and the Politics ofFantasy in America mA Ecstasy Unhmted: On
Sex, Capital, Gender & Aesthetics; has written and directed several short videogra-
phics; and has presented talks on an and sex at many conferences.
Laura Karris
Her interests with pornography stem from both her
interests with the avant garde and a concern for social
justice.
"I don't come out of a traditional academic disci-
pline Kipnis stated during a phone interview. "The
study of pornography) is not just accepted across the
board. However, my approach doesn't get much eye
rolling because it is so political, dealing with class
Coming out of the art world, Kipnis didn't expect to
have a career turn as an academic. However, it was her
artwork that lead her into the academic circle and
allowed her to become a lively voice in the academic
dialogue.
"I would get invited to show my videos at academic conferences she
reflected. "Then someone asked me to write essays. So, I ended up with a
career that was split between me being a video artist and an essayist
When Kipnis allowed her scholarly skills to sink into the muddy waters of
pornography, she decidedly took a different approach than most traditional fem-
inists, instead on focusing on how pornography oppresses women, she asked,
"What other meanings circulate within pornography?"
What she discovered was that pornography illustrates gaps between social
classes. Focusing on the idea of class within pornography, Kipnis began to use
pornography as "a vehicle to talk about social issues that aren't talked about in
other media
Kipnis will deal with questions on how to talk about pornography within a
national context, addressing such topics as gender, class and politics.
In a nutshell, Kipnis will be talking about "the politics of pornography in the
current national politics
Kipnis' talk is sure to be an informative and engaging experience that wiU
spark some lively discussion. The lecture will be presented by the English
department as part of its Theory Colloquium Lecture Series on Thursday, April
17 at 4 p.m. in Room 2014 of the General Classroom Building. A reception will
follow in the English faculty lounge of the General Classroom Building. All are
welcome to attend.

To promote the grand opening of their
new club in North Myrtle Beach, S.C
the House of Blues is bringing the
jazz-influenced soul of the band Lake
Trout to Mendenhail's Brickyard from
Noon ur i! 1 p.m. tomorrow.
Lake Trout finds their home in the
Baltimore area, where they are one of
the premiere bands in the local music
scene. Lake Trout's sound is hard to
pin down. Not only does the band list
jazz greats Miles Davis, John Coltrane
and Grant Green as influences, but
also funksters The Meters and Curtis
Mayfield and current rap groups The
Pharcyde, Digable Planets, A Tribe
Called Quest, and The Roots. Sounds
like a great time for all.
The North Myrtle Beach House of
Blues itself has an impressive lineup
scheduled for their inaugural month
of May. The club will be christened on
May 4 with a performance by the
Blues Brothers (Dan Akroyd, Jim
Belushi (replacing his brother John)
and John Goodman) and the
Godfather of Soul himself, James
Brown. To say that James Brown is not
to be missed is an understatement.
Besides that amazing opening bill,
the club has booked quite a number of
other stellar performers to visit within
the first month. Names such as
Spearhead, Koko Taylor, John MayaU's
Bluesbreakcrs and Erykah Badu don't
just trickle off the tongue, they
impress greatly. Add Johnny Cash to
that list (yes, Johnny Cash), playing
not one date but two, and you've got a
schedule that can't be beaten.
If the House of Blues can keep this
up, and I feel quite certain that they
can, then this club should become one
of the main live musk attractions of
the Southeast.
It is to their credit that they recog-
nize the potential mass audience they
can draw from Southeastern universi-
ties, and that they have chosen ECU
as representative of the people the)'
hope to attract. So given their respect
for this university, it is only right that
we should support their appearance
on campus tomorrow by going to see
Lake Trout. Ill definitely be there.
For your convenience, we have the

UMass offers all-gay housing option
Cindy Sher
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
Chris Savastano faced housing prob-
lems that most students at the
University of Massachusetts in
Amherst, Mass never have to deal
with.
When students in his dorm discov-
ered he was gay, they tampered with
his mail, broke into his room and even
threatened his life.
When Savastano heard about "2 in
20 a floor of all gay, lesbian and bisex-
ual students and their heterosexual
allies, he signed up immediately.
The first successful program of its
kind, "2 in 20" works to end hoirto-
phobia and to provide a supportive
environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender students.
"When you're first coming out, it's
nice .and reaffirming Savastano, a
junior said. "You're not alone and iso-
lated. It's exactly what other people
are going through
Students asked the housing admin-
istration to initiate the floor in 1992
after many had faced problems similar
to Savastano's.
"It provides a sense of support and
comfort in a society that doesn't
always provide that to them said
Michael Gilbert, the director of hous-
ing services at UMass.
The floor began with ten residents
and has grown each year. It now has 33
residents and may expand to another
floor this fall.
The name "2 in 20" refers to sex
researcher Alfred C. Kinsey's claim
that one out of every ten people is gay.
Residents preferred the name "2 in
20" because 1 in 10" sounds lonely
the floor's resident assistant Donnie
Roberts said in an article that
appeared in Tie Chronicle of Higher
Education on Feb. 21.
Located on the fourth level of the
Mary Lyon dormitory, the floor also
provides unique programming for its
students. Residents have a drag bail
each semester in addition to an open
house for university faculty, staff and
students to learn about "2 in 20
The floor also has a Response
Room, otherwise known as a "safe
room which is available to any stu-
dent living in university housing who
is being harassed because of his or her
sexual orientation. The student may
use the "safe room" as a temporary
housing assignment.
"We adapt our programming to be
quite specific said Julie Robbins, res-
idence director of the floor, which has
the same housing fees as other dorms
at UMass. "Whereas they might have a
program on 'Homophobia 101' at
another dorm, they might have
'Racism Within the
Diversely-influenced jazz a soul band Lake Trout win" perform for The House of Blues
tomorrow from Noon until 1 p.m. on the Brickyard in front of Mendenhall.

Although resident assistants say
that the majority of the university
appears to support "2 in 20 there are
members of the community who say
they disapprove of it.
"This university claims to pro-

Circumcision rates reached 80

The East Carolinian
Woods breaks Augusta records on way to victory
AUGUSTA. Ga. (AP) - Tiger Woods' victory walk up the 18th fairway was
detoured by a wild hook off the final tee at the Masters, which was probably just
as well.
It is hard to imagine anyone capable of following in these footsteps.
His romp over Augusta National Golf Club evoked memories of the cold
stare and hardened heart of Ben Hogan, the charisma of .Arnold Palmer and the
sheer power of Jack Nicklaus.
Shortly after he drained a bending 4 12-foot putt for par on the final hole
Sunday that gave him the lowest score in the 63-year history of the Masters,
Woods choked back tears as he embraced his parents.
"Every time I hug my mom and pop after a tournament, 1 know it's over he
said. "I've accomplished my goal
His 3-under-par 69 gave him a 270, breaking by one stroke the record that
Nicklaus first set in 1965 and Raymond Floyd matched in 1986.
His 12-stroke victory over Tom Kite was not only a Masters record by three
strokes, but the greatest winning margin in any major since Old Tom Morris
won in the 1862 British Open by 13 strokes.
He also became the youngest Masters champion at age 21.
Woods wasn't thinking about any of these records when he teed off Sunday
afternoon with a nine-stroke lead, or when he made his final climb to a spec-
tacular salute at the 18th green.
Instead, Woods said a prayer of thanks to other blacks in golf who paved the
way - Ted Rhodes, Charlie Sifford and Lee Elder, the first black to get invited
to plav at the Masters in 1975.
Elder stood by politely as Woods chipped onto the practice green, then said
hello and wished him well.
Gordan edges Wallace on final lap
BRISTOL, Tenn. (.AP) - His list of product endorsements includes milk, he is
unfailingly polite with his fans and he's not afraid to cry in public. That does
not, however, mean that Jeff Gordon is a softie.
"I want everybody to know that when it comes down to the finish, I'm not
going to quit. I'm going to do whatever it takes Gordon said after he bumped
his wav past Rusty Wallace 600 feet from the checkered flag and won the Food
City 500.
. tip until Sunday's victory. Gordon had relied on superior speed by his
Chevrolet and his pit crew to win 21 Winston Cup races. But in No. 22, he
showed he could do it with muscle as well.
� "There's sometimes when pure desire takes over and you do whatever you
have to do to cross the finish line first he said.
No one was injured, but the 20 yellow flags tied NASCAR's modern-era
record. The 132 laps run under caution represented the third-highest total in
the modern era, which began in 1972.
Gordon stayed free of all the contact. But on the last part of the last lap, he
initiated it.
"It was definitely the most exciting finish I think I've ever had in my career
he said.
� Wallace, the pole-sitter, kept his Ford up front four times for 240 laps. He
took the lead for the last time on lap 415 and built a comfortable edge before
(iordon, with teammate Terry Labonte on his rear bumper, closed to within
inches of Wallace with 20 laps remaining.
Wallace hobbled up high as he fought to control his car, and Gordon slipped
past. While Gordon went on to a two car-length victory, Wallace held off
Labonte for second place by about five feet.
UNC lacrosse player stabbed at club
CHAPEL HILL. N.C. (AP) - A University of North Carolina lacrosse player was
in good condition after being stabbed in the abdomen at a dance club early
Sunday.
Police charged Robert Pratt, 26, of Mebanc, with felony assault with a dead-
ly weapon in the attack on Peter Murphy, 11. Pratt was released after his moth-
er posted a $15,000 bond.
Moments before the stabbing, a fight on the dance floor prompted the disc
jockey to alert bouncers over the microphone.
Pratt was arrested at a nearby restaurant and told police he had fled to elude
Murphy's friends.
Pratt said Murphy and a group of his friends jumped him on the dance floor
because of a dispute over a woman. Others who witnessed the fight said that it
consisted simply of shoving and pushing and then Murphy was cut.
' Pratt said he was crouching on the dance floor and that Murphy had him by
the throat while others beat and kicked him.
Pratt said he was able to reach into his pocket, grab a pocket knife that was
attached to his key chain and stab Murphy in the abdomen to free himself.
: Key ahead in the count ail day, helped by Erickson
�The two home runs by Jeffrey Hammonds sure helped. So did the solo shots
by�Cal Ripken and Chris Hoiles on Sunday.
'jTbc player who really gave Jimmy Key room to finish his first shutout in four
sejRons. however, was pitcher Scott Erickson.
� Erickson was sitting on the Baltimore bench, charting pitches. And when
Oiiples manager Davey Johnson asked how many Key had thrown through eight
infitngs, he was told 97.
'Trouble was. Erickson forgot to count 10 or so.
Johnson let Key continue, and the left-hander wrapped up a 9-0 win Sunday
at Camdcn Yards for his first shutout since May 28, 1993.
.We had the big lead so he allowed me to go out in the ninth. If the game's
clr�e, I don't go out there Key said.
�Key finished with 122 pitches. Johnson said that if he'd known the true
couht through eight innings, he might have gone to the bullpen.
He was throwing nice and easy, but it's not the type of game you want to
weir out your pitcher on Johnson said.

an overall 21-21 record and now fail to 7-8 in the
CAA.
A doubleheader was scheduled for Saturday, but
the rainy weather caused the second of the two to
be postponed until Sunday. The game that was
plaved that day was a rough one for both sides.
Both teams were chalking up hit after hit as they
came up to bat. The pitching staff of either team
could not stop the batters from blasting fiery
grounders and soaring flies. The defense of each
team had difficulty keeping the runners from
advancing.
"Poor defense was Lhe answer to our loss said
Pirates Head Coach Gary Overton.
Saturday's game was played in pouring rain and
at times had to be postponed for minutes because
of the driving rain. In the end and 44 runs later,
ECU had lost 17-27.
The first game on Sunday began with a promis-
ing start. The score remained 0-0 until the third
inning. Macon Jones hit a shallow fly to center field
that earned him a single. When Kevin Monroe
came up to bat, the Patriot pitcher tried to pick off
Jones leading off at first. The second time the
pitcher threw to first, Jones slid headfirst into the
bag. The ball ricocheted off his helmet and rolled to
the deep end of right field foul territory. Jones got
up and ran to second. A slow reaction by the Patriot
right fielder allowed Jones to steal third.
Right fielder Antaine Jones was hit by a wild
pitch while on first and quickly stole second base.
The Patriots' catcher threw the ball in an attempt
to get A Jones out. The second baseman missed
the ball and it went past the
center fielder. M. Jones
seized the opportunity and
bolted for home. A. Jones fol-
lowed suit and made it to
third. Left fielder Steve
Salargo stepped up to bat and
was thrown out at first, which
allowed A. Jones to score.
Mason stayed off the
board until the fifth inning.
.After a walk and a single,
Overton pulled pitcher John
Payne and put Conrad Clark
on the mound. The next bat-
ter hit a fly ball that was
caught in deep left field. The
leading runner scored and
made the game 2-1. ECU.
In the next inning.
Mason's batters dominated
the Pirates' fielders and pitch-
ers. The firsr batter walked
and stole second. The next
batter hit a single and was
advanced by the following batter, who was thrown
out at first. The next man up hit a line drive over
the shortstop's head that scored the two already on
base. .After a fly out and a single, Clark was pulled
and Kevyn Fulcher was put in. A hit to right field
scored two more runs and Fulcher was replaced by
Travis Thompson. Thompson walked his first bat-
ter and was pulled for Mike Daniels.
"The bullpen has somewhat struggled through-
out the year Overton said.
A hit to center scored another two runs, and
before the Pirates could get their last out. the lead-
ing runner for Mason stole home. The final score
was 8-2. Mason.
"Losing the first game the way we lost it cer-
tainly had an effect on the second Overton said.
The second game on Sunday was similar to the

first. It remained scoreless until the fourth, when
ECU took the lead with one run. Mason gained the
lead with two in the next inning and took another
in the seventh to make it 3-1. In the eighth they
scored three, two of which were from a fly to center
field. ECU raised the crowd's hopes a bit when they
scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but
were unable to score any more. The final score was
Mason 6, ECU 3.
"We weren't making the plays during these
games. That is the mistake that hurt us through the
year Overton said.
The Pirates have a week off before their next
game at L'NC-Wilmington this weekend. The game
against ECU is considered a big one by L'NCW
"They are playing better than usual and we're
not playing as well. We'll have to find a variety of
ways to w in Overton said.

Golfers prepare to tee off at CAA championships
ANTHON'YSTXNFILL
STVFWRITKR
The ECU Golf Team is heading to
Goldsboro on April 18-20 to partici-
pate in their last, and most important
tournament of the season. The tour-
nament is the Colonial Athletic-
Association Championships and will
be played at Lane Creek Country
Club. The Pirates are coming off their
best tournament of the spring, with a
fourth place finish at the Tennessee
State Intercollegiate. Even though the
Pirates had their best finish. Coach
Kevin Williams felt they should have
done better.
"I was disappointed in a way,
because I felt that there was only one
team last week that could have beat
us, and that was Jacksonville State
from Alabama Williams said. "But it
was our best finish of the spring, so
that's still better than we've been
doing
The CAA Championships are for
bragging rights, and the Pirates will be
facing all nine of the conference
teams, including VCU. who's ranked
14th in the nation. Williams believes
that they have a good chance of being
in the top four, hopefully finishing sec-
ond behind VCU. The Pirates have
defeated Wilmington three out of the
five times they've met this year. Both
times ECU met James Madison they
lost, but thev were narrow margins of
loss. VCU, UNCWand JMU were the
top three teams that Williams thinks
will be the best competition.
"We need to play consistent and do
well two of the three days in order to
take second place Williams said. "If
we want to win, and upset VCU, we'll
have to play good all three rounds
The five Pirates Williams chose to
go to Goldsboro are Marc Miller. Kevin
Miller. Richie Creech, Steven Satterly,
and either Daniel Griffis or Robbie
Perry. Williams says that they'll find
out for sure this week.
"Perry's been real consistent in
tournaments, but not in qualifying
Williams said. "In fact, he was our low-
est score in the Furman tournament.
Then again. Griffis has been consis-
tent qualifying and not in the tourna-
ments. So the fifth spot will be decid-
ed this week, between these two
Griffis and Perry
The Pirates have won the CAA
seven out of the last 10 years. Two
vears ago they placed second, and last
year finished a disappointing seventh.
Since this is the Pirates last tourna-
ment of the year. Williams summa-
rized this season's play.
"I think that is was disappointing
in certain ways, because of the incon-
sistency Williams said. "We're basi-
cally a young team, starting three
freshmen at some tournaments.
Maybe this youth had something to do
with the inconsistency, but thee
had plenty of tournament experience.
We did secure a winning record
though, which we haven't had in two
years, so that's a positive
The Pirates, going into the CAA
Championships, have an overall record
of 91-65-3. If every thing goes as
planned and the Pirates take second,
they'll finish the season with '8 wins.
Even though Williams was disappoint-
ed, congratulations are in order for the
Pirates winning season, and once
again to Kevin Miller, who was named
Outstanding Scholarlv Athlete.
