A former ECU student
overdosed on dllB and was
found naked in front of the
Sienna Sigma Sitima sorority
house, one month before
possession laws are scheduled to
change statewide.
A police report stated that
the victim overdosed on GHB
while inside a ni?,ht club at 51 I
(otanche Street.
He was taken to Pitt County
Memorial Hospital, where he
was listed in fair condition late
Thursday.
This incident, along with
many others, has North Carolina
joining many other states in an
effort to outlaw the dangerous
drug (?IIB (gamma hydroxy
butyric acid).
(ilIB, despite being what
school officials call a very serious
drug and a danger to the school
population, is completely legal
to use.
On Dec. 1 the possession o(
GHB will become illegal.
"It's very serious said
Associate Dean of Students
Karen Boyd. "The minimum
sanction has been the same
minimum sanction as marijuana.
We are now considering
suspension from the university
for the first-time (dllB)
offenders
The ECl' Police
Department sas they do not
have any criminal incidents on
(il IB at the university.
"Up until Dec. 1, it's not
illegal to possess it. so we
wouldn't have any criminal
incidents said Johnny
I mphlctt. patrol commander of
ECl Police Department. "I'm
not saying it is not out there 1
hear it's out there, but 1 don't
know what the use is right now
dllB is a clear, colorless
liquid that causes
hallut mations, an intense sexual
desire and euphoria. It can lead
to breathing problems, coma,
seizures and even death.
If it's a clear liquid, it might
be harder to identify, as opposed
to someone having marijuana on
their desk I'mphlett said.
"It also has the potential to
be used as a date rape driiir
Bod said. It was Rootles at
first, but dllB is rapidly
becoming more popular
It is hazards like these the
have prompted North Carolina
to team up with Georgia, Rhode-
Island and Florida this year to
ban the possession of GHB.
California, Texas. Hawaii and
Massachusetts have similar bills
to be enforced.
"Rohypnol (rootles) has a 72-
hour turnaround. CUB is very
difficult to identify, anil you
have to do it quickly Boyd said.
"The goal is. our students
shouldn't be killing
themselves

forgery
U.S. District Attorney
dismisses charges
CRl(i I). Rwili

A student, and resident of Scott Hall, was
arrested and charged with possession of
marijuana and forgery.
"Officers went to his dorm room (Scott
Hall) because there was a marijuana odor
in the hall sas investigator Michael
Jordan of the ECl' Police Department.
While inside the officers searched the
room and found an 8.5x1 1 sheet of paper
with a LS. currency image printed on it.
There were two $5 bills, two SHI bills.
and a one sided sheet of twenties. Also
found with the counterfeit bills were
several different types of drug
paraphernalia. In addition to being
charged with marijuana possession, the
student was charged with forgery.
Because the student was charged with
forgery, the Secret Service was
immediately invoked. "Anything dealing
with money is a federal offense claims
Jordan.
In cases like this, the student goes
through a double judicial system of
criminal justice as well as student court.
This is a process that all students who are
charged must go through.
"1 can't speak for the secret service,
but our officer charged him with forgery
and the case was dismissed claims
Jordan. "The U.S. District Attorney will
not prosecute the case, based on the
amount of bills recovered
"Normally if anyone gets caught (with
marijuana), they get sent to both Dean
Speier and to court says Captain Johnny
Umphlet. "Pretty much anybody will get
referred to court says I mphlett.
If an officer notices something
suspicious such as red dilated eves, they
will stop the student and ask him a
couple of questions. If there is enough
suspicion the officer will search the
student.
"If you have rolling papers but no
marijuana sou will get referred to the
dean's office. Then counseling will
follow sas I mphlett. "If there is any
evidence that will bring about a charge,
then the student will be referred to court.
There is no arrest made for simple
possession of marijuana, which is 1 J! an
oz. or less, but a state citation will Ix
given and the student will have to go to
court.
"Most marijuana charges are for sir

Last year someone was
arrested for possession of over
seven ounces. That was
considered a felony possession
with intent to sell. Most of it
was wrapped in individual bags.
Cases such as these are rare on
the ECU campus.
"On average we charge people
about twice a week says

pay for tuition and books.
"We just felt we needed to give
something back said Bissinger, adding that
in the last eight years 75 percent of the
managers Aramark hires for campus dining
come from ECU's management program.
Student managers are also often found in the
ranks of the hospitality management
department.
The scholarship program is new this year,
and was added primarily because USA Today
needed to give the university an incentive to
continue vending their publication at ECU.
So far sales have not been as high as hoped.
"They really wanted to do it they
pursued me to do it here 1 told them I
wanted something out of it since I wasn't
making any money off of it Bissinger said.
Bissinger says he has high hopes for the
program; however, its continuance depends
on support from those who might buy the
paper here at ECU rather than elsewhere.
"The only thing I get out of it financially
is that it might get someone who is buying
a paper to stay in my unit and buy food. But
as far as financial gains-there aren't any
Bissinger said.
Bissinger plans to meet with Dean Grove
on Monday to work out the details of exactly
who is eligible to receive assistance from the

abuse and sexuality.
"I am an AIDS activist. I became
an AIDS activist because I am also a
person living with AIDS. It makes it
hard to talk about sex and sexuality.
For me to give a lecture on sexually
positive attitudes, people find it
almost criminal. Someone that has
AIDS or HIV still likes sex. I have
gotten into a lot of trouble for that; I
was actually arrested in New Jersey
for a condom demonstration,
Huston said.
Huston suggested that in order to
find an appropriate form of
protection, an individual must be
comfortable with their own sexuality.
"You need to feel comfortable
with whatever turns ou on, and if
you are ashamed you need to work
through that. When I was 14,1 was
raped by six men, beaten up and
thrown in a ditch. It was a very
public event. No one leashed out for
me because I was drinking and had
passed out. Replaying the rape scene
got me off. I was really ashamed, but
it was my way of coping Huston
said.
Since humans are already sexual
people by nature, loving our bodies is
only the first step to become the
sexual beings we already are. So, we
need to be sexy with condoms,
dental dams, and toys.
"Stop looking at condoms and
saying 'I hate them, I hate them, I
hate them Look at them as erotic
and fun said Huston.
Huston also said abstinence does
not necesariry have to mean celibacy.
"Abstinence is not celibacy.
Abstinence is not the absence of all
sexuality, abstinence of sexual
activity, abstinence of intercourse,
abstinence of unsafe activity, ' love
that, Huston said. "Mright, well, I am
not driving without my seatbelton.
Let's rock Huston said.
It has been 12 years since Huston
developed HIV and now she has
AIDS. She thought her sex life was
over, but now she has a partner vvho
is HIV negative.
"If you find abstinence from a
spiritual place it is a wonderful thing.
I told myself that I was worth
something better, and I was going to
hold out, Huston said. "If you find
abstinence in fear and guilt you are
hurting yourself Huston said.
Huston is hoping most of her
words will not fall on deaf ears J.
Marshall, assistant director of
student activities, said the show tyas
amazing.
"The show went well; we were
only expecting about 300 peoplcbut
we had over 500 show up. The
content was interesting and very
entertaining. Nothing was offensive
in any manner Marshall said. ,

?? Tim Montgomery d BHt

. PirttNitc income
The Army Reserve Alternate
Training Program is a smart way to
pay for college.
First, if you qualify, the Mont-
gomery GI Bill can provide you with
up to $7,124 for current college ex-
penses or approved votech training.
Second, if you have?or obtain?a
qualified student loan not in default,
you may get it paid off at the rate of
15 per year or $500, whichever is
greater, up to a maximum of $10,000.
Selected military skills can double that
maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time
money in college, and here's how it
works: One summer you take Basic
Training, and the next summer you
receive skill training at an Army
school. You'll earn over $1,500 for
Basic and even more for skill training.
Then you'll attend monthly meetings
at an Army Reserve unit near your
college, usually one weekend a month
plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid
over $107 a weekend to start. If s

Wfe at The East Carolinian realize that tobacco pays many bills in this area, but tobacco can
kill; in fact it does on a dairy basis. Many smokers die each year from a smoking-related illness.
On Thursday, we encourage smokers to take part in the annual Great Smokeout. The
American Cancer Society organized the annual event in 1977 when smokers were encouraged
to quit for one day to prove they could do it.
More Americans try to quit on this day every year than on any other day of the year. And, after
all, it is only one day. It's just 24 hours.
? Just to help the smokers out there prepare, here are some tips from the American Cancer
Society. Ask yourself three questions: How much do I smoke? Why do I smoke? What will be
my most difficult hurdle in quitting? After asking yourself these three questions, ask yourself
which you want most: to smoke or to stop.
After a little soul-searching, choose a method of quitting. Cold turkey is most successful, so
Thursday would be a good target day. If you can't go cold turkey, start the effort.
One way to make sure you go cold turkey is to get rid of the cigarettes. Give your cigarettes
to your roommate, your significant other or a friend. Tell everyone you're quitting for the day
id not to give you a smoke no matter how much you beg for one. Find something else to do
during your smoke break; buy a drink or a snack. Getting rid of the cigarettes is more of a
challenge because if you get rid of the matches or the lighter; the temptation of the cigarettes
still there; you can always find matches or a lighter.
If you decide to reduce rather than quit for a day, make getting a cigarette a challenge; smoke
with your left hand if you're right handed, put a rubber band around the pack, change to a brand
you don't like for a day. Don't buy a case; buy one pack and then don't buy anymore.
We at TEC are simply saying smoking is bad, not tobacco. We encourage you to take the
challenge; quit for a day. Don't be a wimp; you can do it, smokers. It's only for a day, you can go
back to it Friday? if you want to.

Diplomacy best when dealing with Iraq
If military force is necessary,
the United States should act
swiftly and strongly but should
only do so with the
acknowledgment of the UN
For the time being, it seems
diplomacy may be the most
effective means to resolving the
situation in Iraq.
Just how much is too much?
Saddam Hussein has once again
defied the United Nations council
in his forcing out of U.S. inspection
officials. He has successfully upset
the UN by dividing the United
States from the other members of
the council.
Many experts say it was a smart
move by Saddam because it
effectively whipsaws the United
States between Iraq's provocation
and a UN council that many feel
would not back the United States in
using military force to reestablish
dominance in the Gulf. Other
members of the UN council say the
United States is blowing Saddam's
behavior way out of proportion.
It seems that even neighboring
countries have decided that
Hussein is not so much a threat, as
they did six years ago. Saudi Arabia
and Jordan have been less than
helpful in coordinating diplomacy to
deal with Iraq. Even the French and
Russians seem lethargic with the
U.S. inspectors being forced out of
Iraq.
It is as though the UN council
has decided it is not a UN problem
so much as a US problem. And for
time being, it seems the United
States is on their own. The only
problem b that it is a UN problem
as well as a U.S. problem.
The word from the White House
is that Saddam's behavior is
"unacceptable which was a vague
way of denouncing Hussein's failure
to comply. It is apparent to many
that US was caught with their pants
down and certainly Baghdad is
reveling in their perturbation of the
US.
It is important that President
Clinton draw a clear line in
coordinating a coalition with the
UN council. The White House
must focus their attention on the
keeping the UN together when
dealing with Iraq or any non-UN
country
What has happened is that Iraq
has divided the united States and
the UN like a bratty child between
two irresolute parents.
If military force is necessary, the
United States should act swiftly and
strongly but should only do so with
the acknowledgment of the UN.
Because if the United States does
resort to weaponry, and does it on
their own, this will only divide the
UN council further.
For the time being, it seems
diplomacy may be the most
effective means to resolving the
situation in Iraq. However, if Iraq
fires on U.S. spy planes (as they
have threatened to do) or if they
dispel other UN inspectors, which
seems imminent, the United States
must work with the UN in using
military force.

Columnist Day has much to learn
I have just read Jeff Day's editorial
"Greeks Have Much to Learn I
find it hard to believe that he has
treated this subject with the same
closed mindedness that Greeks
have been accused of. Perhaps Jeff
is the one who has much to learn.
Although the incidents he
describes are deplorable, they in no
way reflect the actions of Greeks in
general. Mr. Day has no personal
knowledge of whether the people
described were, in fact, members of
fraternities and sororities or just
simply a group of people drinking.
Perhaps some of them were Greek
and some of them were not, but do
you really know for sure?
Notwithstanding this, bad apples
exist in every group, race, religion,
and culture. It is plainly asinine to
judge an entire group by the actions
of a few. I am a member of a
fraternity that I joined as an
undergraduate at Georgia Tech.
Although I speak in ignorance
about ECU's Greek system, the
Greek organizations at Georgia Tech
were ranked in several categories,
including philanthropy and
academics. I personally spent
several hours building a house for a
family through Habitat for
Humanity.
I can also say that were it not for
my fraternity brothers and their
support I never would have been
able to complete my undergraduate
degree. For an outsider to criticize a
group that they have plainly made
no attempt to understand is
ridiculous.
Furthermore, the analysis of the
classified ads was unbelievable.
Gratitude can be a show of respect
and good manners. I wonder how
Ml Day would feel if that high
powered, over-critical microscope
were pointed in his direction.
From the art of generalization to
the criticism of others, Jeff Day has
a lot to learn.

Milk: it really does a body bad
Next time you go to throw
back a nice cold glass of milk,
Just think about how much
pus is contained in the glass.
Or maybe you should consider
exactly what these hormones
are doing to you or your
children.
Wipe that milk mustache off your
face. Do you know what is in your
heavily promoted beverage?
rBGH is a genetically engineered
growth hormone for cattle that dairy
farmers use to increase milk
production. If you listen to the Food
and Drug Administration, as a lot of
people do, you will hear the usual
rhetoric that recombinant bovine
growth hormonc(rBGH), "is the
same as naturally occurring bovine
growth hormone (BGH) Some
scientists feel that rBGH can
stimulate an allergic reaction in a
portion of the populace. The FDA
says this possibility is insignificant
arid has, so far, refused to conduct
tests into the allergic reaction idea.
So a small scale experiment with
the usual control and experimental
groups is not being done. Perhaps
the FDA feels that the current
nationwide experiment on
unwitting participants, us, the
American public, is study enough.
Other scientific research has
found that the BGH use increases
the levels of Insulin-like Growth
Factor 1 (IGF-1). IGF-i is
naturally-occuring growth factor
that occurs in both humans and
cows. The problem lies in the what
IGF-1 can do. The hormone is a
cancer accelerator and is associated
with both breast cancer and tumors.
As Dr. Samuel Epstein of the
University of Illinois says, "We think
it rBGH plays a significant role in
breast cancer
The research that rBGH plays a
role in breast cancer should be of
concern to all. The milk industry is
heavily promoting milk, which they
claim is good for women to help
prevent osteoporosis? even though
milk is not good for women or
anyone beyond a young age to drink,
but that is another column.
Of course the FDA has no
conflict of interest in concerns to
rBGH, which is produced by the
company Monsanto. It is purely by
coincidence that Mike Taylor is a
chief deputy to David Kessler head
of the FDA Taylor was once,
employed as chief outside counsel
for Monsanto. The coincidences
seem to be coming out of the
woodwork. Taylor is also cousin to
Tipper "The Musk Labeler" Gore,
wife of Vice President Al "III take
money from anybody" Gore.
Monsanto's own data, or at least
the data they release, shows that
cows treated with rBGH have a, "79
percent increase in mastitis (udder
infections) and a resulting 19
percent increase in somatic cells
(pus in milk)
A warning label is included with
Posilac, the brand name for rBGH.
The label states, "use of Posilac has
been associated with increases in
somatic cell counts pusStudies
indicated that cows injected with
Posilac had increased numbers of
enlarged hocks and lesions (e.g.
laceration, enlargements, calluses)
of the knee
That might not be a milk
mustache; it could be a nice pus
mustache. Got pus?
The four companies that stand to
make money from the rBGH are
Monsanto, Eli Liliy, Upjohn and
American Cyanamid. Monsanto, Eli
Lilly and Upjohn are all convicted
corporate felons. Some of the
charges levied against the three
include, but are not limited to,
"deadly toxic gas cloud releases,
consumer pharmaceutical products
that kill people and produce birth
defects, and failure to inform
Federal officials of testing results,
indicating fatalities connected to
their products
And I am supposed to trust
Monsanto when they tell me rBGH
is safe. Fool me once, shame on you;
fool me twice, shame on me.
Next time you go to throw back a
nice cold glass of milk, just think
about how much pus is contained in
the glass. Or maybe you should
consider exactly what these
hormones are doing to you or your
children. Now, I am not for the
outlawing of the rBGH, but I am for
labeling of any produce, milk,
cheese, etc. that contains rBGH. If
the company labels the chemical
mixture that cows are injected with,
why is the final product not labeled?
And, of course, you all know the
answer by now. (Well, if you have
read any of my previous articles.)
The answer is money. Given the
choice, people will not buy milk that
has been altered through hormones.
Given the correct information,
people also want the milk labeled,
as they should.

Radford, alumni receive harsh treatment
Most everyone who was raised in
the South remembers the stories of
how it used to be in rural towns. Oh,
you remember how police beat
people, and how elections were
corrupt, the stories of how police
always were found to be in the right
no matter what they did. So was the
way in the old south back then.
Guess what? You can find a little bit
of then right here at ECU.
Here at ECU, according to the
school's attorney, it is proper
procedure for the police to use
pepper spray on patrons. Here at
ECU, it is all right to drag people
from their crying children; if they
mysteriously fall down steps while
in police custody, that is fine. Here
at ECU, a flag is just cause for police
to use force and for patrons to
receive the full fury of Barney Fife,
i.e. William C. Peebles. It will come
as no great shock that Peebles in still
in good standing with ECU,
guiltless and in good standing. ECU
finds an ECU police officer to be
correct in his decisions. Does
anyone see a conflict of interests
here?
We do not need this kind of
incompetent and irrational behavior
on the pan of our campus police
department. This mentality of the?'
bully cop is not welcome or
appreciated by the students
Furthermore, I feel Michael'
Radford shoud reconsider suing chev
university. Radford should send i
message to the administration that'
this sort of behavior will not b?,r
tolerated. He should use the moncS'?
for a scholarship fund. I can see it
now: "The Radford College Fund!

Require English 1100; do away with 1200
This letter is in response to the
articles on English requirements
on Nov. 11. I thought both
articles were written well and
they both had their own
legitamacies. I think that students
should be required to take
English 1100, but not necessarily
English 1200.
This is where I agree with Mt
Cochran; if you know your major,
take three credits of writing
intensive courses that deals with it
specifically. If a student definitely
knows where they are headed, I
see no reason for another basic
course in English.
This does, however, pose a
large problem. I mean, now many
freshman and sophomores actually
are dead-set on a major? Also those
credits could be lost if
a student switched majors along
the way. That is where I agree with
Ms. Mchle.
I have the concerns with other
General Education requirements
from Mr. Cochran's view. Take for
instance the criminal justice major.
When is Math 1065 used as a law
enforcement officer? I challenge
any police officer to give rnc an
example. I would love to know
why I am taking it, except for the
analytical benefits.
Another area would be science.
Most law enforcement officers
are not going to use them in
their careers. Now biology, and
maybe even chemistry, might play
a role, but enough to require eight;
credits? 'K
That is already 1 1 credits that
they could fill with criminal justice
elcciives that will strengthen-
knowledge in the specialization
chosen. Would we prefer overall-
knowledge above supreme
knowledge of profession? '
Of course there are some G.&c
requirements that arc perfect fbr
criminal justice, but the others-
pose problems and questions; "?
They seem to be requirements thata
a lot of students do not understand; -
I am one of them.

Pink Floyd fens fidget when they
hear the words psychedelic,
"stratospheric and sonic This
fidgeting may commence if they
stumble upon this fella who calls
himself Zoomer. He has been
labeled as one of those "sonic art
freaks" who creates music that pays
homage to T-Rex, Brian Eno, and
the Jesus and Mary Chain. All of the
above terms were used to describe
Zoomer with the release of his
Pinch Hit Records debut album,
the creation of which was funded by
his girlfriend's Visa card. Hence, the
name, Maximum Plastic.
After giving the disc a whirl,
fidgeting may give way to
disappointment, possibly even
disgust. The "psychedelia" is quite
different from what many folks may
be used to. Zoomer comes off as
this crazy 70s pimp guy who looked
like the bleached spawn of Lenny
Kravitz and Syd Barrett. He was
born in the swamp country of
Louisiana and it was thought that
he was using drugs as early as the
fourth grade. He does admit that he
didn't begin to use drugs until after
high school and his music clearly
reflects that fact. Zoomer's
personality is heavily reflected in
his music. His counselor once
stated: This young man has traits
of a sociopath and an eccentric
artist. He seems to be equal parts

Do miracles really happen? For people of faith all over the world, the idea
of miraculous healing of diseases is a central pan of their beliefs. The art
of medicine is nearly as old as belief in the supernatural, and as mankind
learns more about the mysteries of the human body, the achievements
of medicine increase in scope and ability. Both theologians and doctors
often wonder at the questions of miracles and healing.
Andy Farkas, who is neither theologian nor doctor, but a student here
at ECU, has spent the past year and a half asking these questions.
!hrkas, an art major concentrating in printmaking, is preparing to
graduate, and as a pan of his course requirements, is assembling a senior
? vhibicion of his work. This work is a Japanese accordion-style folio of
prints based on sketches Farkas drew of people and situations at Pitt
Memorial Hospital.
Titled Saints in a House of Healing, the work focuses on patients in
certain situations accompanied by the patron saints of those situations.
Ivach "story" in the book features a copper etching of a situation and a
poem-letter addressed from the saint to the patient. Farkas has
constructed thirteen books, an artist's proof and then twelve others for
rhc twelve disciples of Christ.
Farkas is excited about his project, especially since his original idea
was not quite so involved. "I originally just wanted to do a scries of
prints of surgeries he said.
At first, he met with obstacles even getting into the operating room.
! Ic began by contacting the hospital's medical illustrator, who got him
into the cadaver lab, where he spent a while sketching cadavers. After a
few months of this, he was put in touch with Dr. Walter Pories, former
head of surgery at the hospital and currently a professor of surgery and
Mochemistry.
He began to accompany Pories on his rounds. "Dt Pories dressed me
up in a lab coat so I wouldn't make the patients feel skittish Farkas had
to obtain permission from any of the patients he wanted to draw. But he
liked going on rounds. "That was probably my favorite pan, going on
rounds with the doctors, visiting patients, even more so than the
nixrrating room
But h: did get into the operating room. It was during all this that he
realized he wanted to do more than make a few pictures. He struck on
rhe idea of making a book. "I didn't know if I wanted to tell a story or
just have a book of illustrations. I was talking to Dr. Ehlbeck (Farkas's
printmaking professor) and he suggested that a print I'd made reminded
liim of St. Anthony
From there the idea grew. Farkas went to the library and read
ountlcss reference books about saints and the lives of the saints. He
licgan to see connections between the saints and certain situations he'd
encountered at the hospital. He came up with the idea of writing letters
from each saint to each patient, and Smuts in a House of Healing was bom.
When he talks about his book, Farkas's eyes light up with inspiration.
The experience at the hospital has filled him with stories. Fbr each print
and letter, Farkas has his own emotional experience. If you let him, he'll
tell you the story of each one, of the person behind the face in the
engraving. One of the most personal prints is the one for St. Dymphna,
the patron saint of mental illness, which features a print of Farkas's
grandfather while in the midst of battling Alzheimer's disease.
Now, as he is putting the final touches on the original thirteen books,
he is also talking to an editor and a publisher about the possibility of
producing the book in a less expensive format so that more people can
enjoy it. An art gallery in Raleigh is already interested in the possibility
of displaying the book.
Though he's excited about the future, right now he's still a student,
and his time is filled with preparations for graduation and for his senior
exhibition which will be held at the Brody Medical Building, and is open
ro the public. He is awed by the opportunities he's been given and the
strange and iaspirational things he's learned from all of this, When you
look at that light in his eyes, you can tell that, whomever the saints are,
Andy Farkss believes in miracles.

Starship Troopers is more redundant than revisionai
Dale Williamson
SENIOR WRITER
8 OUT OF 10
Paul Verhovcn's latest jab at the sci-
fi genre, Starship Troopers, is being
hailed by many critics as an
ingenious, biting satire that
disguises itself as an ultra-violent
futuristic action flick where Earth
goes to war with a planet of giant
bugs. As a rookie film critic, I
acknowledge Verhoven as a
satiristand lean see the social pokes
his latest film dishes out. I also
acknowledge that his film is meant
to be more fun than serious. Still,
despite all the greatness it does
exhibit, Starship Troopers ultimately
feels a bit empty.
Basing their story on Robert A.
Heinlein s classic novel of the same
name, Verhoven and scriptwriter Ed
Neumeier toy around with and, in a
sly way, make fun of the patriotic
war films that dominated American
theaters in the '40s and '50s. Set in
the distant future, the plot follows a
group of young, idealistic high
school students who follow their
dreams and hearts and join an elite
military organization known as the
Federation. While most of this teen
gang enthusiastically throw
themselves to the Federation,
Johnny, our lead hero played by
Casper Van Dien, does so for the
wrong reasons. He goes against his
parents wishes to pursue another
career and joins the Federation
infantry (his math scores are way
too low for anything else) hoping to
impress and stay in contact with his
high school love, Carmen (played by
Denise Richards), whose test scores
and abilities have allowed her to be
a pilot.
The first hour of the film is
spent developing these very cliched
characters in very
cliched ways, but
that seems to be
part of Verhovcn's
joke. He sets things

episode, something
very , safe,
wholesome and
American. Despite
the cheesy nature of
the first half, it
works because the
second half is
nothing but a
horrifying blood
bath. Once the giant
bugs appear, literally
hundreds of humans
are impaled, torn
apart, bit in half,
burned to death and
simply
dismembered.
Verhoven is not
known for holding
back, and he
definitely cuts loose
here.
A staple of anti-
war films is to
depict an optimistic
and ideal world (usually small-town
America) that is shattered once the
reality and violence of war sets in.
This is exactly the formula such
protest films as Bo-n on tfo Fourth of
July used. Despite Verhoven's
insistence that Starship Troopers
does not take an anti-war stance, it's
grisly depiction of war (this is,
without a doubt, one of the most
violent films I have ever seen) and
its satiric take on patriotism sure
seem to be making some kind of
point.
Technically, Verhoven is in top
form here. The special effects are
superb, some of the best the big
screen has been graced with in a

long time. The satire is evident, and
the film does touch upon some
larger issues, such as unnecessary
military aggression and" sexual
equality within the military Starship
Troopers is a film unlike any other.
But then again, it isn't.
One of the main problems with
Verhoven's extravaganza is; that, not
only is it a bit too excessive at
points, but it also feels redundant.
Verhoven seems to be borrowing
from so many sources, including
himself, that it's hard to escape the
feeling of "been there, done that
despite the groundbreaking special
effects and record body count.
In this day and age of cinema,
one could argue that most, if not all,
films are simply older stories being
rehashed with bigger budgets, and
that is true for the most part. But
the ones that stand out are those
that take a genre to another level,
those that somehow add more
substance to older ideas. Starship
Troopers is a good film, but it
ultimately doesn't offer anything
new.
If you want satire, rent Terry
Gilliam's Brazil; if you want anti-war
films, watch Oliver Stone's Platoon
or Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory; if
you want science fiction action
complete with space marines and
alien bugs, James Cameron's ABens
is the better choice; if you want a
better Verhoven flick with a more
focused satiric edge, Roboeop is! still
tops.
Leaving Starship Troopers, I felt
like I usually do leaving the state
fair. You know the feeling ? ywi're
bloated with an excess of junk' food
like mustard-dipped corn dogs,
caramel-glazed apples and sugar-
coated dough. You may have Had
fun, but you're not exactly
nourished. Fbr a more substantial
meal, check out some of the films
mentioned above. However, if you
just want to indulge in one of the
most intense pieces of brain candy
ever created, then Starship Troopers
will definitely fill you up.

Andy Farkas believes in

little tricks that he does in this track
such as during the line "she's going

chords rise and fall in key
respectively. As the disc spins merrily
forward, there is a greater emphasis
on the keyboards and saxophone
playing done by Jon Lovcdog (if that
is not the epitome of a 70's pimp-
name, then let us all be damned).
Most of the "psychedelia" lies within
the maneuvers of the keyboard,
adding trippy sound effects that are
intended to propel the mind into
various parts of the universe.
There is also certainly a Beck
influence. Our pal Zoomer is not as
talented as Beck, but if Beck had his
own little category of crazy trip-hop,
retro-pop rock music, then Zoomer
would be in the same bin. Zoomer
thinks on the same level as Beck
when he wants to get the most out of
his music and make it unusually
interesting to the ear as well. Also,
Zoomer is one with Beck when it
comes to the odd choice of lyrics that
accompany the obscure music.
Zoomer parallels this oddity with
such deranged lyrics as: "and the

The general feel of this album is
like a 70's-style apartment. There arc-
about 50 people too many in the
apartment and a big disco ball in the
center of the room hanging from the
ceiling. All of the people look like
characters from Welamie Btirk Kotter
and are all totally grooving to this
album. With the trippy keyboard
sounds and the sorta-Rolling Stones-
esque guitar riffing accompanied by
the saxophone, a very retro style-
album is born. A touch of Pink Floyd
is revealed at the close of the album

The East Carolinian
Football Team
prepares for
NC State
?
AMANDA ROSS
SPORTS EDITOR
It's the match up fans have waited for all
season ? the Pirates versus the
Wolfpack.
ECU has been on a roll lately, winning
their last four games. ECU beat
Cincinnati 14-7 on ESPN last week,
breaking their 0-3 Thursday night
streak. With a win this week over N.C.
State, ECU 5-5, 4-2) could complete
their fourth straight winning season. The
Wolfpack (5-5,3-5) is coming off a 31-24
victory over Virginia on Saturday.
Last year, the Pirates handed State
their heads on a platter, with a 50-29
romping in Chadotte at Ericsson
Stadium. Running back Scott Hariey
sent' the Wolfpack home with their tails
between their legs when he set an
NCAA record for most rushing yards
(351) by a sophomore but you can take
last year's game and throw it out the
window. The players play down the
rivalry and just see it as another game,
but for the seniors, it would mean a lot to
end this season a winning note.
'We have a four game winning streak
;oing for us senior defensive back
libari "Snoop" Wallace said. "Wfe have a
winning season for the seniors, which
I'm part of, so it's definitely going to be
personal"
Hindered with ankle injuries all
season, senior split end Larry Shannon,
who wasn't expected to play Thursday
night, but still did, said he wouldn't miss
this game for anything. Despite not
being completely healed, Shannon will
give it his best shot this Saturday.
"This is my last game ever in an ECU
uniform Shannon said, "just like last
week, nothing is going to hold me out;
this week is going to be the same thing.
I might not be 100 percent but I'm going
to be effective and I'm going to go out
and make some plays and help my team
try co win the game
Head Coach Steve Logan is preparing
his defense for a tough N.C. State
offensive that likes to run the option.
Logan isn't sugar coating his advice to his
defense.
The first thing we've got to do is
contain their offensive people Logan
said. "I told our defense the other day,
that 1 think it would be foolish of me to
talk to our defense about keeping them
out of the end zone. We're not going to
do that; Florida State didn't do that.
Logan's concentration will be trying
to contain the Wolfpack on offense while
jump starting ECU s own offense.
"What we've got to do is control the
damage Logan said. "In the mean time
our offense has got to score. We can't run
up and down the football field like we
did Thursday night and not scoreWe
have to get up and down the football
field and put the ball in the end zone
because I believe North Carolina State is
going to to do that
State has put the ball in the end zone
36 times, 18 each in the air and on the
ground. The Pirates have 21
touchdowns; six on the ground and 15 in
the air.
This will be the 21st meeting
between the schools with State holding
the edge 12-8 in the scries. Kick off is set
for 1 p.m. this Saturday
(Top) The Bearcats tried unsuccessfully to get in the emtzone dwing their last possession in the game to try to tie the Pirates. The ECU defense stopped the drive and
the Pirates held on for the win. (Bottom, right) Fans love ESPN and there were plenty of signs and crazy fans that got on national TV. ECU finally won a Thursday
night game, previously going 0-3. (Bottom, left) Dan Gonzalez, Jason Nichols, and Larry Shannon watch as the defense holds Cincinnati to one touchdown Thursday
night on ESPN. The Pirates won 14-7 and piay their final game this Saturday against N.C. State.

tourney match on

ST.Kff WRITER
The ECU women's volleyball team
ended their regular season play with
a triumphant win over the out-
matched Wofford Terriers. The
Pirates won in three matches, 15-5,
15-12, and finished the final match
15-5 with a final spike by junior
Kristen Wkrner.
"They really did not match well
against us; we handled them pretty
well Head Coach Kim Wklker said.
In the second match, after Warner
went down with an ankle injury,
Walker was forced to shuffle the
lineup around a little bit and move
some of the women into positions
they weren't comfortable playing.
ult was nerveracking; the rotation
got messed when Kristen went out,
but we stuck it out and got the win.

freshman Qnta Claro said after the
win over Wofford.
Claro finished the game with
eight kills, and led the team with
eight digs and four service aces.
"Cinta did a real nice job for us;
she stepped in and maintained
things and got us through that
(second) set Walker said.
The Pirates have now won four-of
their last five games, with their latest
loss coming in four games 15-2,3-15,
15-10, 15-7 last Wednesday to 30-6
Campbell University
"We played flat against them
(Campbell). We need to focus again
and maintain that competitive
focus Walker said.
Claro led the Pirates in that
match with 13 kills, seven digs, and
three blocks. Liz Hall, who was back
for only her second game since an
absence with Mononucleosis, added
eight kills, five digs, and three
blocks. Junior Kristen Warner
contributed 38 assists giving her
1,074' this season, which ranks her
fourth all-time.
This Friday at 4:30 p.m. at George
Mason University, the Pirates will go
head to head against James Madison
University. The Pirates are the sixth
seed going into the tournament and
JMU goes in as the third seed. This
will be the third matchup between
ECU and JMU this year. JMU took
the first contest in only three games,
during which ECU only scored 11
points in all three games. But in the
more recent match on Nov. 8, the
Pirates won in a tough come from
behind victory in five games to win
the match.
"I think this win says a lot about
what this team can do. All year we
have been down and we haven't

THE EHER4LE CITTS BEST
YLdAtSChoice

I
The East Carolinian is full of new surprises. And one of
the new surprises is the Readers' Choice Tab. This is the
first time the East Carolinian has done this. The Readers'
Choice gives you, the students, a voice to give your opin-
ion about your favorite places to eat, shop for a keg, best
place to park, and many more.
Over these past couple of weeks, The East
Carolinian has had a tremendous response to the surveys
that were sent out in the newspaper and the internet and
that were passed out. As an incentive for the students to
fill them out, we told them we would put all the names in
a barrel, and we would choose one name. The winner of
the Casio TV was Laurie A. Rouse.
Not only was a TV up for grabs, so were winner s
certificates in each category ? from the best place to get
a late-night breakfast to the best place to five off campus
? voted on by the readers of The East Carolinian. The
company or place with the most votes were presented the
