Study determined
physical appearance
does affect verdict
Laura Lee Hines
staff writer
According to ECU psychology pro-
fessors Ronald Poulson and Karl
Wuensch, physical attractiveness,
social desirability and mental sta-
bility of a defendant affect how a
jury reaches a verdict.
Poulson, Wuensch and col-
leagues have conducted studies
using mock courtrooms to assess
how these factors influence a jury's
decision in both criminal and civil
cases.
Poulson has primarily
researched jurors' attitudes toward
the insanity plea in criminal cases.
Over the past 15 years, Poulson
and colleagues at Emory and the
Medical University of South
Carolina have conducted studies
using students, community mem-
bers and judges as mock jurors.
The jurors were presented with
real cases to deluSerate. These
cases were presented using videos,
slide shows and audio tapes.

reasoning about a verdict

Poulson and ECU student
Henry Brown concluded that there
are many factors which impact the
jury's decision including race and

"Never can I remember when all
positions in the spring elections ran

SGA secretary.
Candidates who will be running
unopposed are Eric Rivenbark for
president, Leslie Pulley for vice
president, Alan Stancill for treasur-
er and John P. Mcriac for secretary.
Write-in candidates are still eligi-
ble for these elections.
"A write-in candidate must fill

paign initiated by Senior Class
President Jonathan Muggins, candi-
dates who are on the ballot will be
available to the student body to
answer questions about their cam-

Think 5000 has been designed

Merit Scholarship Campaign
aims to recruit incoming freshmen
more competitively
Jenny Vickers
staff writer
A campaign to increase the competitiveness of
ECU's merit scholarships follows last year's disap-
pointing loss of five out of seven high school seniors who chose better
offers from other universities is underway. At the heart of the campaign
is a push to increase ECU's endowment.
While the endowment, responsible for funding scholarships, has
tripled over the last ten years reaching $24.88 million, it ranks 398th
nationally. University officials, including Chancellor Richard Eakin, say
increasing the amount of gifts and donations to the endowment is the
key to increasing the quality of merit scholarships and in return attract-
ing more bright, young leaders.
ECU's endowment fund ranks 398th nationally. As his top priority.
The university is pushing to increase acceptance of scholarships and the endowment.

Eakin aims to raise the merit scholarship endowment over the next three
years to $10-15 million. The endowment fund board feels that the schol-
arship's low amount is steering away the kind of future leaders who can
make the university a better place. Some fear these kinds of students are
being lured away by more attractive scholarships. More gifts to the
endowment will help increase the amount used on merit-based scholar-
ships.

Award equivalent of
Pulitzer on college level
Laura Lee Hines
staff writer
The Rebel, ECU's literary and arts
magazine, was recently awarded
what has been called the collegiate
Pulitzer, a National Pacemaker
Award, for the second year in a row
by the Associated Collegiate Press
(ACP).
The Pacemaker Award is the
most prestigious prize for college
journalism and is awarded for gen-
eral excellence. The ReM was one of
50 college magazines competing in
the competition and received one
of five Pacemakers for 1997.
The Rebel is a student-created
magazine and is currently in its
40th year of production. This is the
fourth time The Rebel has won this
prestigious award.
The 1997 issue was edited by
Julie Spivey, who is now a graduate
student in the School of Art.
When asked how this award
made her feel, Spivey said, "It
makes me feel like all that hard
work was worth it
Long hours paid off for Spivey,
editor and designer for last year's
issue. Other designers on 1997's
staff included Pollie Barden and
Tim A. Jones. Jones also served as
illustrator director. Randall

Ordinance outlaws upholstered

Few warning for
violations handed out
Hollv Harris
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Greenville city officials are making
a concerted effort to turn Greenville
the grimy into Greenville the glim-
mering.
Last October the city council
passed a package of ordinances that
included 20 code violations that are
viewed as nuisances or dangers to
the public health. Among those
measures approved was an ordi-
nance that makes it illegal to have
upholstered furniture on the porch
or in the yard of a residence.
Surprisingly enough, there have
been few warn-
ings given for �
violations of the
ordnance and
none of the $50
fines incurred for
refusing to relo-
cate furniture
have been hand-
ed out.
Mark
Johnson, coordi-
nator of
Greenville's new
Neighborhood
Services division, said that the low
number of problems with the rule is
because citizens arc basically com-
pliant and that city officials have
more pressing things to do.

MOHAMED HUSSIEN
STAFF WRITER
This year the annual ECU event
known as Barefoot on the Mall will
be held in front of Mendenhall
Student Center instead of on the
mall. The April 30 event is in its
19th year, but due to beautifica-
tion efforts by the university, it will
not be held in its namesake loca-
tion.
"Due to reseeding and other
various work being done to the
mall. Barefoot will be held outside
the front grassy area of
Mendenhall said Venessa
Cullers, event coordinator.
"The new work is being done
to make ECU pleasing for the
incoming freshman in the fall
Barefoot will retain its original
name because of tradition and the
fact that it will be held on the mall
once again after the work is done.
"Barefoot will still have all of its
previous events Cullers said.
As in past years, Barefoot will
still offer the same eclectic fare of
booths and performances.
Mainstays of the day include the
inflatable slider, various club
booths, artisan booths with face
painters and the as-of-yet
unnamed quartet of musical acts.

Refund expected
from costs of
Apple advertising
Will sign contracts with
middle agents in future
Craig D. Ramev
SENIOR WRITER
The Student Union expects to get
most of the $4000 spent on adver-
tising for Fiona Apple's concert
back before the end of the fiscal
year.
All stops from the March tour,
including ECU, have submitted
claims to Apple's management in
California. Once the total cost has
been figured for all of the March
dates, Apple's management is
expected to give a refund close to
the full amount � or at least most
of the funds.
"We have been calling them
once a week trying to find out when
we will get the money said
Stephen Gray, director of Student
Activities. "It will be this fiscal
year
The university spent more
money in television, newspaper,
and radio to promote the canceled
show than any other show. So much
money was spent because the can-
cellation came so close to the
show's slated date.
"I have a good feeling they will
reimburse said C.W. Jameson,
Chair of the Popular Entertainment
Committee.
Approximately 3,000 tickets
were sold for the event, just enough
to cover the expenses of the Fiona
Apple show. Some of the expenses
included advertising, audio equip-
ment and catering.
Apple isn't the first performer to
cancel on this university after
money has been spent on promo-
tions. Busta Rhymes and A Tribe
Called Quest canceled, and then
paid back any money that was lost.
"These things can't be prevent-
ed Gray said. "It's just a misfor-

a long time and it just happens
The Popular Entertainment
committee would feel more com-
fortable if a clause were in the con-
tract
"We are going to try to sign con-
tracts with middle agents in the
future Jameson said.
University officials do have the
option of turning to the National
Association of Campus Activities
for help, if Apple's management
decides to argue the $4000 figure.
"My hope is that we don't have
to go there Gray said.
If Fiona's agency failed to pay
back an acceptable amount, the
Student Union has a reserve fund
they can rely on, built by $11 taken
out of each student's fees annually.

A recent survey of SGA presidents
at four universities in the
University of Nortb Carolina sys-
tem shows that campaigning for a
collegiate office has some universal

idents at N.C. State, UNC-Chapel

and campaign management.

SGA President Scott Forbes said
about campaigning.
Forbes said that with a campaign
manager, staff members, posters
and flyers to deal with, a candidate
must be organized.
N.C. State President Karen
Taylor's campaign was so organized
that it was planned out to the day.
One day she spoke to campus
groups; another she handed out fly-
ers.
"You want to make sure people
know you're running said UNC-

campaigns. Each candidate has a
campaign manager, usually a friend
or a volunteer with experience.
Nathan said that close to the elec-
tion, the campaign manager works
24 hours a day.
In addition to the campaign
manager, candidates have a volun-
teer staff of anywhere from 10-50
people. Volunteers do anything
from posting flyers to speaking to
students about candidates.
Posters and banners cost money.
Money is an important part of cam-
paigning for candidates. Most col-
leges have a spending cap that can-
didates use to regulate their
finances which range from $150 to
$500. Campaigns are funded by the
individual candidates or donations.

lum, so it was very appropriate to
have him as a speaker for the sym-
posium said Dr. Paul Alston,
event organizer from the depart-
ment of rehabilitation.
Edwards is a highly sought after
lecturer and presenter, and is on the
cutting edge of innovative practift
therapy. Dr. Edwards has led more
than 400 family therapy training
programs across North America and

They conquered
everything but death.
Past world rulers like Alexander the Great, Tutankhamen and Julius Caesar have all had one thing in
common: the past. They're stuck in it. It makes more sense to follow a ruler who has conquered
death .and a world leader who promises to someday rule the world through peace.
Jesus Christ is that ruler. He claimed to be God, was crucified for our sins, and then rose
bodily from the grave. And he promises to return to rule over the earth.

annually. ECU's largest scholar-
ship, the Chancellor's Scholarship,
is $5,000 annually. This doesn't
even cover the entire cost for an in-
state student.
Resources of merit-based schol-
arships are different than resources
for need-based scholarships. The
former receives money from gifts
and donations to the endowment
fund, and the latter receives money
from a type of federal program.
This creates an imbalance between
loans and scholarships.
� "Out of the $24.88 million in the
endowment, $10 million is used for
scholarships, and only $3 million of
that is for unrestricted merit
awards said Jim Lanier, vice
chancellor for institutional
advancement. "$51.8 million was
given in financial aid last year. $34
million of this was in loans and $17
million was in need-based scholar-
ships that didn't have to be paid
back. Over 50 percent of students
received financial assistance
ECU spends 44 percent on
scholarships.
"The rest of the endowment is
specifically endowed for chairs of
departments and specific schools
said Gene Rayfield, Board of
Trustees chairman.
"An endowment is like a savings
account Lanier. "The money
invested is never spent, but the
portion of the earnings is. We don't
spend all of the income. We make
sure to continue growing the princi-
ple so that the buying power keeps
up with inflation. Our total return
over the last seven years is 11.9 per-
cent. We spent six percent annually

"We are excited about the con-
cept of a scholarship campaign
Lanier said. 'This campaign is the
chancellor's highest priority, one
that he is really committed to. A
merit scholarship is an investment
that raises the entire academic

problem Kimble said.
If the issue is no big deal then
why bother to pass an ordinance at
all?
"It's a health issue Johnson
said. Upholstered furniture, can get
soggy and with lice and mosqui-
toes
The package that the uphol-
stered furniture ordinance was part
of listed other things that the city
council and its advisors view as
public health hazards or annoy-
ances. Included are weeded lots,
i
stagnant water, trash and debris,
appliances kept outdoors, and cars
parked on front lawns.
Kimble said the city council
wanted to review the old codes and
make additions to them in order to
clean up and beautify Greenville.
The list of violations was gener-
ated by city agencies that deal with
the health and safety of citizens,
like the police, city managers office,
and the division of neighborhood
services. It was then voted in by
the city council.
A similar rule which met harsh
criticism in Wilson, has garnered
mixed views in Greenville. Some
of those who still harbor the illegal
couches in their yards or on their
porches think the rule is invasive
and unfair while others agree that

the furniture is indeed a nuisance.
"I didn't know anything about it
the ordinance, but we were
already going to move it because it
looks like a piece of trash on the
front porch said Steven Rycc of
Delta Sigma Phi.
Ryce says he thinks the rule is
fair because it prevents the neigh-
borhood from looking run down.
However student Dan Haught
said he thinks the furniture is use-
ful, and provides a hangout for
guests to his 10th street house.
For now, the ordnance has been
in place relatively uncontested for
five months and city officials say
they can't see that changing.
"People understand what the
rules are and for the most part they
follow them Kimble said.
But the one difference this year
is that the event will not be shaded
from the sun by the branches of the
trees in the mall. However, offi-
cials promise that it will be as fun
and exciting as ever.

interested in studying these factors
when he served as a juror for a crim-
inal case.
"Why is it that physically attrac-

After conducting mock studies
using photographs to represent liti-

concluded physical appearance of

Thankfully, the season of rebirth, spring, is finally here. As a result, more students are
spending much more time outside. Whether to get a tan, to throw a Frisbee or baseball, to
people watch or to simply enjoy the beautiful weather, there are sufficient reasons to pry
you away from your couch and televisions. Those enterprising enough may remedy this by
hauling their favorite couch out of their home and plopping it down on the front porch. But
you better think twice; it could end up costing you $50.
Last fall, the Greenville Town Council felt it necessary to pass an ordinance that
admirably seeks to make Greenville more pleasing to the eye. Among its provisions is one
that forbids persons from leaving upholstered furniture outside their homes.
"Persons" should probably more appropriately read "students This is
an unnecessary provision that unfairly targets students, who are likely the most infamous
of the "couch offenders
Some folks may call outside couches "eyesores blaming them for (the always popular)
"bringing their property values down A couch isn't an old car without any tires except for
the ones lying on the ground around it. No, a couch serves a purpose: it is a comfortable
place to sit, talk, rest, sleep or simply to enjoy the outside. The outside couch is popular
among students, who don't always have the appropriate funding to make their front porch-
es resplendent with charming patio sets. Couches, then, are an economical and intelligent
choice.
To their credit, the Greenville Police supposedly only enforces the ordinance when a
complaint is made by a neighbor. They give the offending party the opportunity to remove
the couch. But if they refuse, it could cost them $50.
In this day and age, we seem to quick to solve our problems by simply just making more
rules, which often leads to more problems. The easiest thing to do if you are concerned
about the appearance of your neighbor's home is to confront them. Tell them what you
think. Don't hide behind a silly ordinance that will only lead to more resentment.
Quite plainly, don't be a couch narc.

Women deserve equal pay
On April 3, Greenville-Pitt
Business and Professional Women's
Organization (BPW), Women
Business Owners of Pitt County,
American Business Women's
Association, Women's Network and
women in Greenville will be join-
ing other women across the country
to raise awareness about unequal
pay. The day marks Equal Pay Day,
it's the point, three and a half
months into the new year, when a
woman's earnings finally catch up
to a man's earnings in the previous
year. President Clinton has issued a
proclamation declaring the day as
"National Pay Equity Awareness
Day Governor Hunt and our own
mayor, Nancy Jenkins, have issued
similar proclamations.
According to the census bureau,
a woman earns only 74 cents for
each dollar earned by a man.
African-American men and
Hispanic women fare worse at only
64 and 57 cents. These are stagger-
ing numbers, especially when you
consider that the Equal Pay Act was
passed 35 years ago.
And here in North Carolina, the
wage gap for women is even lower
than the national average. In North
Carolina, women earn 71.7 cents for
every male dollar.
Although women's earnings
have been slowly catching up to
men's over time, the National
Committee on Pay Equity tells us
that this reduction in the wage gap
has more to do with a fall in men's
earnings than with an increase in
women's earnings.
Working women deserve equal
pay Unfair pay is a bankrupt policy.
But more than that, it's against the
law. In this country, we frequently
espouse the notion that if you work
hard and play by the rules, you can
get ahead. But too often, although
women play by the rules, employ-
ers do not.
Working women deserve equal
pay because when a paycheck
comes up short, their children feel
the loss. Today middle class work-
ing families are often just one pay-
check away from disaster, and
increasingly that paycheck is a
woman's. The stability of our fami-
lies is undermined when we don't
pay women fairly for the work they
do.
Two bills, the Fair Pay Act and
the Paycheck Fairness Act, have be
introduced in Congress to strength-
en existing equal pay laws, but we
can make gains sooner than it takes
a bill to get through Congress.
Employers have a responsibility to
analyze their compensation prac-
tices and eliminate any wage bias in
the system.

Sexual harassment out of hand
when every day someone is
accusing someone else of sexu-
al harassment it just gets to
be a monotonous drone.
Sexual harassment lawsuits, allega-
tions, etc. have been taken entirely
too far in this country over the past
few years. There is only so much
sexual harassment that any reason-
able person could actually believe
to be in fact transpiring in the way
in which the laws were designed to
prevent and to protect.
I am not saying that sexual
harassment does not occur or that
its occurrence is not a serious mat-
ter, but when every day someone is
accusing someone else of sexual
harassment it just gets to be a
monotonous drone.
If anyone ever takes time to
research what most of the incidents
entail, they would find a consider-
able number of those incidents to
be very petty and very subjective.
For instance, in 1993, a graduate
student was forced by the
University of Nebraska to remove a
picture from his own desk of his
own wife in a bikini because two
fellow grad students complained
that the picture was in violation of
the school's sexual harassment poli-
cy. That is just ridiculous. What is
more ridiculous though is that the
university was compelled to inter-
pret any policy to the degree where
that poor fellow had to remove that
totally harmless picture. Whose
rights are really being violated
here?
Contrived sexual harassment
allegations do not only effect the
accuser and the accused, but they
also affect entire administrations,
companies, universities, not to
mention you and me. Advisers can-
not even counsel a student with the
door shut in fear of the possible
consequences. It would be differ-
ent if a person accused of sexual
harassment could go on with his or
her life and career, but that is a feat
that could only be accomplished by
the president of the United States
perhaps. The accused will always
have a somewhat tarnished record
even if he is found to be totally in
the clear.
Even feminists (which, by
the way, I am not) are now saying
that the American workplace is.

Until we stop condoning vio-
lence, breeding violence, living
with it daily, it will worsen
It won 'tgo away by itself�
we have to make it.
Jimmy Royal ate his Trapper
Keeper in the third grade. There
were rumors that Seth Mouton ate
an abondoned house and had start- -
ed on his neighbor's barn, but
nobody really believed them.
Danny Myers brought a real eye-
ball to school and dropped it on the
floor in Mrs. Harris' room. And
these were the most atrocious
things to take place throughout my
elementary school years.
That is the kind of headline
news that should be gossiped about
through the monkey bars on the
playground. Eleven-year-olds
should be in the girl's bathroom
applying the wrong color eyeshad-
ow that they stole from their moth-
ers' purses. They should be hud-
dled in a corner of the schoolyard
giggling over nudie pictures ripped
from an older brother's Playboy.
They should be throwing spitballs,
passing notes, whispering behind
the teacher's back, and being, in
general, kids. These are the crimes
that 11-year-olds commit. They
don't kill each other.
Has the world really changed
this much in the short ten years
since I left elementary school?
Think about what we did after
school when we were eleven. I
spent most afternoons in a tree,
with my dog, or - I really hate to
admit this- playing with Cabbage
Patch dolls (everybody else was
doing it too, OK?). So what hap-
pened?
Maybe the answer lies in what
kids do after school now. My first
inclination upon getting off the bus
was to go play in tha yard. More and
more, kids seem to favor flopping
in front of TV and watching moral
gems like The Mighty Morphin
Power Rangers and about a dozen
spin-offs, all of which involve beat-
ing or killing something violently. I
went to the movies to see E.T.
They go to see Mortal Kombat.
But you can't blame TV or the
movies (although the producers
who aim these things at such a
young age group aren't exactly can-
didates for sainthood). The fault
lies with unattentive parents who
don't have the time or the inclina-
tion to moniter what goes into their
kids' heads; the ones who allow the,
viewing of the kind of stuff that �
makes adults shudder, and don't
provide the knowledge that this is ,?
not the way the real world works.
They let kids continue to believe
the best, way to get rid of a problem"
is to shoot it, and back up this beleif
with a shiny new shotgun for
Christmas.
These are the formative years
when kids are still learning the dif-
ference between right and wrong.
At a period that is crucial to teach-
ing them a respect for life in every
form, they instead see Mom & Dad, jj,
come home slamming doors and
hear "I'm gonna kill that S.O.B
and turn to the television to see the
hero stab the bad guy. How can
anyone learn to respect life in this
popular, coflict-infested environ-
ment?
It is not one thing in our system
that has produced children who
kill. It is a compilation of factors in
an increasingly violent society that
has become increasingly more
lenient to violent offenders. These
kids don't need to be executed or �
made an example of. They need,
help. Their parents need help

knew that Pepsi, one of the most
popular soda beverages in the
world, was invented right here in
Eastern North Carolina. Despite
Pepsi growth in the past century,
the company has kept its heritage
alive. This weekend marks the cel-
ebration of that growth as well as
the memory of the past with a gala
weekend of events scheduled in
and around the drink's hometown,
nearby New Bern.
In 1898, drugstore soda foun-

tains were popular places for people
to gather. In an effort to win over
more customers, pharmacists often
tried to come up with new concoc-
tions to lure in the crowds. It was
one such pharmacist named Caleb
Bradham that invented Pepsi in his
little store on the comer of Middle
and Pollack Street in New Bern. As
part of the weekend celebration,
the restored store, Bradham
Pharmacy, will be open for
tourists throughout the
weekend. Of course, Pepsi
will be served and memora-
bilia will be sold.
Other sights to see during
the weekend include the
town's historic Tyron Palace
gardens and New Bern
Academy Museum. Also, at
the Bank of the Arts build-
ing, there will be a free
exhibit of 100 years of Pepsi.
This exhibit will feature all

ever been sold in as well as
the first ever Pepsi ad, a 1909
straw holder and an original
letter signed by Bradham
himself.
But there's more to the
weekend than Pepsi nostal-
gia. Friday evening, there will
be balloon rides available at
the Sheraton Hotel, as well as live
music downtown. Combine with
this the play, The Caleb Bradham
Story, and a free concert by Mighty
Saints of Soul, and you have a night
that offers something for everyone.
Friday's festivities will end with
fireworks over the Trent River at 9
p.m.
Saturday's events start off at 8
a.m. with a Pepsi Walk and a 5K
Road Race for the athletic types.
Or, if spectator sports are more your
type, you can take in the mountain
bike race in Cherry Point or the
Softball tournament at Fort Torten
Park. Both of these events son at 9
a.m.
Saturday continues with a
parade at 10 before the carnival
atmosphere takes over at noon.
This is when the Street Scene will
start up. This portion of the week-
end will include amusement rides,
costumed street strollers, games
and other assorted entertainment
downtown and will run until 6 p.m.
Following an evening aerial
show over the Trent River,
Saturday's events will climax with a
show by North Carolina native

The slogan "A vote for women's
suffrage is a vote for women nag-
ging forever" briefly describes soci-
ety's attitudes in the late 1800s and
early 1900s.
Anastatia Sims, a history profes-
sor at Georgia Southern University,
presented a lecture entitled, "The
Power Of Femininity: Women,
Clubs and Politics in Eastern North
Carolina, 1880-1930
Her lecture focused on how
North Carolina women, acting
through women's clubs and other
voluntary associations, helped
shape public politics long before
they were given the right to vote.
Through her lecture, Sims
brought to life an unsung heroine,
Sallie Southall Cotten. Sallie
Cotten, a farmer's wife, was not a
militant crusader for women's
rights. In fact, she did not get
involved in the crusade until late in
her life. She fervently believed in
the power of femininity, the power
of women in the world to bring
about positive change.
In 1892, at the ripe age of 46,
Sallie Cotten was selected by the
Governor of North Carolina to be a
lady manager for Columbus Fair in
Chicago. It was during this fair, that
Mrs. Cotten came in contact with
the ideas of women's clubs, clubs
that she would start in North
Carolina to shape the state for the
better.
The clubs that Mrs. Cotten start-
ed did many things for the state of
North Carolina. They persuaded
state legislators to help delinquent
boys. The clubs established public
libraries. In fact, 80 percent of the
public libraries are kept alive by
these clubs today.
They lobbied for better educa-
tion for their children. The clubs
were responsible for longer school
terms, attendance laws and estab-
lishing teacher colleges such as
ECU. This interest for education
led to political involvement.
Sallie Cotten, along with
the women's clubs, crusaded for the
right to serve on school boards.
According to Sims, they were told
simply that they could not serve on
these boards because they couldn't
vote.
With a ladylike decorum they
rallied to be given the right to serve
on school boards. They would smile
sweetly to reporters as they patient-
ly sat outside the legislature.
Underneath that facade was a brew-

These days I can't understand the
dang things. Sure, I try, but the
multitude of buttons on the con-
trollers is confusing enough to
induce some sort of psychosis. I'm
talking about video games. My
roommate is a whiz at all the new
ones: Madden Football, Tomb Raider,
Twisted Metal, March Madness,
Me, I can't figure 'em out. There
are, on an average Playstation or
Sega controller, four or more but-
tons just for steering whatever char-
acter you have to steer, whether it
be a high-powered armed-to-the-
teeth-Mad-Max death car or an
archaeologist
with the mea-
surements of
Barbie.
Then there
are the various
buttons for firing
weapons, jump-
ing, running and
throwing a pass.
This is all
severely compli-
cated by the fact that each video
game has specific combinations of
these tens of buttons that enable
one to do a running jump, jump
while running, run while shooting
and jumping or completing a jump-
pass while shooting someone run-
ning by.
Gimmie the old school Atari joy-
stick anyday. Pac-Man is a game I
can handle, and even score a few
points on. Way back when, in the
dawning of the 1980s, I was even
privileged enough to see my initials
glowing from the screen of arcade
games set up in the pizza restaurant
near mypartment complex.
"JPD" the screen would display
in a happy, hummy sort of way.
"10,057" it would say to the
extreme right of my initials.
Sometimes I'd even get to have the
honorific "High Score" attached to
my initials, letting everyone know
that I was, at least in the memory of
that particular machine, the best of
the best.
The arcade
was the primo
hangout spot for
the kids in my
neighborhood.
Pole Position (a
racing game),
Tron (based on
the Disney
movie), Pae-
Man (and, for
the ladies,
Afs.Pac-Man), Spy Hunter (about,
well, a guy hunting spies), Galaga (a
fancified arcade version of Space
Invaders Asteroids (which featured
a neato turny control rather than a
joystick) were just a few of the
, more popular video games in the
arcades back then.
While it's true that some of the
richer kids had Ataris they could
attach to their televisions, nothing
would beat going down to the
arcade and slappin' the old joystick
around for a few hours. Arcades
became the cultural center of eight-

awfully complicated.
At least that's what I find myself
thinking as I'm being drawn to the
TV set every Sunday morning at
10:30 to watch Superman: the
Animated Series. This is no screech-
ing, hyperactive
cartoon show I'm
talking about here.
Superman is fasci-
nating, subtle and
many-layered.
Don't get me
wrong; it ain't
Shakespeare. It
does feature a guy
in blue tights beat-
ing up super-vil-
lains and all the
other nonsense
you'd expect from
a Superman ear-
lier perfect match. Clark, unfortu-
nately, is just her reporter-sidekick
buddy.
So the relationship circles. Lois
wants to ask Superman out on a
date, but she's nervous. Supes
responds, but wants Co woo her a
Clark. And Clark, though able to
melt battleships with his eyes, isn't
subde enough to figure out how to
get Lois to notice him as more than
a friend.
Granted, we got a lot of this soap
opera stuff on the live-action Lob
and Clark series, sort of, but it was-
n't even close to being this well-
written. And that show didn't make
the relationship nearly as believ-
able as this cartoon version, either.
This is a problem with most

toon's creators have succeeded in
making Superman something the
kids can enjoy, while still doing
serious adult drama on some level.
Mosdy that seriousness comes
from their handling of the classic
Clark KentLois Lane relationship.
These two characters have been
circling each other for 60 years now,
and finally married a couple of
years back in the comics. You'd
think there would be nothing new
to do with them.
But on this show we're seeing
the relationship develop in a differ-
ent way. Lois wants a man who's as
smart, strong and brave as she is.
Clark can't be attracted to anyone
who's not as dedicated to fighting
the good fight as he is. They're
obviously made for each other.
There's just one problem:
Superman. To Lois, Superman is
romantic fiction. Too often we're
told that two people love each
other but aren't shown why. But
since the characters certainly seem
to be in love, we accept it and move
on. That's not the case orf;1
Superman.
Then, of course, there's the sex

about, after all. But whether it's

play their legendary blend of coun-

though some reports have the show
lasting as long as 12.
Sunday things will slowly wind
down, as the slower portions of the
weekend will prevail. The
Bradham Pharmacy, Tryon Palace
gardens and the New Bern
Academy Museum will remain
open for people to stroll through.
Or, if the slower pace just is not for
you, you can take in the Chairmen

In all, Pepsi has tried to offer
something for everyone in their

you drink Pepsi or not, there is
plenty being offered this weekend
to lure you down for a few fun-

Men who claimed to be south-

"It seems so blind and stupid of

never brought to public light.
Women were considered to be

Sims said, "Sallie Cotten

In 1913, womqn won the right
to be on school boards. This posi-
tion was won not bypopular vote,
but by appointment This means
that if a woman was to serve on a
school board, she would have to be
appointed by a man. This fight
showed the women that their
rights were only going to be won
by a strong battle.
In 1920, the 19th ammendment
granted women the right to vote.
North Carolina was one of the last
states to ratify the amendment
(eventually ratifed inl971).
Cotten's spirit is still alive
today. Many of her clubs are still in
existence, such as the End of the
Century Book Club. Recently,
Donna Whitley, an active member
of the PTA, coordinated a group of
women who lobby for the better-
ment of education. The group
named itself after Sallie Cotten to
honor the work that she had done.

of the topics De Bias turns his
attention to. Instead of a list of do's

Darkseid, buildings erimble and
subway tunnels collapse. And
when a massive Space Giant
splashes down in the Atlantic, he
causes tidal waves up and down the

here is "epic
The epic feel particularly comes
through in the superpowers. They
seldom settle for a run-of-the-mill
depiction. Even such "standard"
powers as super-strength are made
awe-inspiring here. Through cam-
era angles and foreshortening, they
make you feel the weight and mass
of the things Superman picks up,
even when he isn't straining with
them.
And strain he does. Even the old
save-the-person-(Lois)-falling-out-
the window gag can be a challenge
for our hero. After all, if he just
snatches them out of the air with-
and don'ts, De Bias simply pro-
vides the readers with straightfor-
ward discussion of his views and
thoughts.
Most important, perhaps, is De
Bias' insistence that people owe it
to themselves to experiment, try
things out and form opinions based
on their convictions.
One of the best things about
Coming of Age however, are the
random bits of knowledge De Bias
chooses to drop. This book is a ver-
out matching their falling speed, he
could snap their necks. So there's
no boring swoop out of nowhere
saves for this Man of Steel. He's got
to work for his derring-do.
None of this would work,
though, if it weren't for the quality
of the animation. The character
designs are deceptively simple;
each line is essential and packs a lot
of power. The motion of figures is
fluid and complex, a far cry from
the still bodymoving lips of
Superfriends. It's not quite Disney-
quality, but it's still the best on tele-
vision.
With its attention to detail and
well-paced character development,
Superman is series television at its
best. Granted, that's not saying
much when your competition is The
Smart Guy, but still, this is good
stuff. I like it a lot. But then, you
probably already figured that out.

to thirteen-year-olds; kids at school
would even trade game tokens for
desserts at lunch.
The epitome of arcades was the
ingenious mixture of two prepubes-
cent necessities: pizza and video
games. Called Chuck E. Cheese's,
this mecca of all that was good and
entertaining featured not only video
games, but also sloppy, slathery
pizza, Skee-Ball and those cluky
animatronic animals that sang diss-
appointing renditions of oldies
tunes.
There waefthat one year when
every single one of my friends had
his or her birthday party at Chuck
E. Cheese's. The animatronics and
the pizza got old, but the video
games, they were always there to
glow and make spacey sounds and
make you happy.
The combination of restaurant
and arcade produced interesting
innovations on arcade games. The
introduction of food into the equa-
tion soon led to the table-video
games, where one could play Ms.
Pat-Man while eating. Pretty soon
there were the sit-down versions of
Pole Position, complete with life-
sized steering wheel, gas and brake
pedals � and a stickshift. The
panoramic screen helped complete
the illusion that one was really in an
Indy race.
Nothing could really compare to
the cacphany of squeals, buzzes,
laser-ray sounds, beeps, and synthe-
sized music saturating the air.
Nothing could compare to the
ecstasy of finally, after all this time,
beating Daniel Butler's high score
on Centipede. Nothing could com-
pare to playing the two-player Tron
and beating Adam Lester at the
motorcycle stage.
itable dictionary of cool ideas. A
review of Coming of Age would not
be complete without passing along
some of the quirkier thoughts De
Bias shares.
On why one should find a job:
living with your parents "just gets
too embarrassing On drugs: stay
out of Granny's medicine cabinet.
On boy toys: fancy cars and boats
are often phallic compensations for
the absence of real skills or talent.
On flying solo: "the Declaration of
Independence calls upon you to
masturbate
Moments like these make
Coming of Age in Babylon, Finding
Your Own Reality worth suffering
through the more condescending
parts. While De Bias generally
avoids sounding like a lecturing
father, he sometimes misses the
mark. Who uses the word "dude"
in the '90s?

Those minor problems
aside, Doug De Bias' Coming of Age
in Babylon, Finding Your Own Reality
is a great read. At the very least, it's
entertainment. At best, it can real-
ly make you think.
Throw in some Grandmaster
Flash or Michael Jackson being
piped in from some unseen stereo
system, breathe in the sharp pep-
peroni and cheese smells wafting
from the kitchen, blink your eyes to
focus on the screen.
Ahh, to recall challenging stagey
in Galaga, which were like taking
candy from a baby if you were able
to get the double-fighter in the pre-
vious level. Ohh, the bliss of getting
Mario or Luigi all the way up to
Donkey Kong without getting hit
by a barrel. Is there anything better
than an empty Asteroids screen,
devoid of everything other than the
drifting triangle of a spaceship?
Video games permeated the
entire American cultural landscape,
so that pretty soon E.T. was taking
apart and re-assembling video game
machines to "phone home" and
other aliens were using video games
to scout for young warriors in The
Last Starfighter. There was even an
ABC Afterschool Special about the
poor middle school student who got
so addicted to video games that he
went nutso and couldn't compre-
hend Monopoly.
"Where's the joystick?" he asked
in fitful frustration.
And that's about how I react

According to
Head Pirate
Baseball
Coach Keith
L cC I a i r,
senior first
baseman
Randy
Rigsby "has
the complete
package
LeClair is not
the only one
who thinks
that Rigsby is
good
baseball
player. On
March 16,
Rigsby was selected as the
CAA player of the week.
"He certainly deserved
it LeClair said. "Randy
carried us in the three-game
sweep over William and
Mary. He came up with
some big hits
As of March 26, Rigsby
had a .390 batting average
with 24 RBIs and five
homeruns, to rank first and
second respectively among
his teammates.
"He's got a combination
of both power and contact
hitting LeClair said. "He
can hit the ball in the gap
and steal some bases
"I've always loved
hitting and I work hard at
it Rigsby said. "I don't
know whether or not I was
born with it, I just like
doing it
There is a chance that
Rigsby's career in the field
will not end when it comes time to
leave ECU.
"Hopefully I'll have a chance

to play at the next level Rigsby
said. "It's something I've always
wanted to do and I think I've got
a decent chance of doing it
in age, but both have the talent to play professional ball.
BY CLAY BUCK
LeClair agrees that Rigsby's
talent will lead him to a bigger
field.
"I think that he will get that
opportunity (to play
professional baseball)
LeClair said.
"Randy is known as a
quiet guy, who goes
about his business and
does it well LeClair
said. "He lets his play
speak for him. He is a
very good defensive
first baseman
Rigsby added that
playing hard and setting
a good example is what
is important to him.
"I'm not much of a
rah-rah type of guy
Rigsby said. "I just
come out here and play
hard everyday.
Hopefully everybody
follows my example
One of the younger
players who has been
following in Rigsby's
footsteps is a freshman
from Wilmington, John
Williamson. Williamson was
recruited to play ECU ball by
LeClair when he was with
Western Carolina.
"John has added a lot to the
,team offensively LeClair said.
"He has surprised me with his
power
The freshman has played right

every game
for the
Pirates so
far this year.
"I just

Men's and women's track teams take
big steps toward ultimate goals
Athletes compete at
Raleigh Relays
Stephen schramm
SENIOR WRITER
ECU's men's and women's track
teams took big steps toward their
ultimate goals at this past
weekend's Raleigh Relays. The
women's team used it to search for
any progress from the athletes it
has. Meanwhile, the men's team
used the meet to try new
combinations of runners and give
younger team members
experience at a big meet.
"We're at the stage of the
season where we're looking for
progress said Head Women's
Track Coach Charles "Choo"
Justice. "We're getting speed in
our legs. We're not looking at
what we do each week, just what
we will do at the championship
meets, and we're on track
Progress was evident in the
performances of the relay teams
on the first day. The 4x100 team
finished 15th at 48.47. The 4x200
team overcame a miscue on a
baton hand-off to finish 11th with
a time of 1:42.
"Our relays did well Justice
said. "We didn't have great hand-
offs but we're getting better and
we will get the timing down pat
The Pirate throwers also
competed well. Freshman Crystal
Frye finished 19th in the shot put,
with a throw of 39'2 Frye was
followed by fellow freshman
Margaret Clayton, who finished
21st with a toss of 38'8 In the
hammer throw, Jennifer Prevatt
placed 22nd with a throw of
134'11
The best performance of
Friday's action belonged to
Marshari Williams, who finished
11 th in the triple jump with 37'6
The second day saw the
distance medley relay team break
the school record with a time of
4:09.50 en route to a 10th place
finish. Junior Missy Johnson
placed 11th in the 400 meter high
hurdles with a time of 1:03.50.
Williams followed up her stellar
first day with a 14.82 in the 100
meter high hurdles that was good
enough for a 21st place finish.
Johnson finished 25th in the
event with a time of 14
"We did, pretty well Justice
said. "Our' performances are
beginning to come around. We are
getting some speed in our legs
and we had some high finishes
The men's team entered the
meet placing an emphasis on
youth. Head Coach Bill Carson
decided to shuffle the lineups so
he could get experience for the
younger members of the team.
However, the same usual faces
still led the Pirates into the top 10.
In the 100 meter dash,
Ramondo North placed 10th with
a time of 10.78. North finished
just in front of fellow Pirate Titus
Haygood, who ran a 10.80. Tyrone
Dozier led a host of high Pirate
finishes in the 400. Dozier ran a
team best 46.67. He was followed
by teammates Darrick Ingram and
Michael Miller, who finished sixth
and 11th respectively.
"Dozier is going to be a great
athlete much earlier than we
thought Carson said.
Saturday saw the retooled
Pirate relay teams take center
stage.
"We didn't load the relays so
we could look at some of the
younger guys Carson said. "The
younger guys will give us more
depth
The 4x100 team placed fifth
with its best time of the season at
40.55. They dropped more than a
second from last week's time of
41.58. The 4x400 team finished
third despite concerns over team
member Lynn Stewart's injured
hamstring.
The 4x200 relay team finished
sixth with a time of 1:21. The
most pleasant surprise of the meet
was 4x200 team member John
Twitty's strong performance.
"Twitty ran well he shows
great promise for the future
Carson said. "He also gives us
more depth

Men's tennis suffers disappointing 4-1 loss to
conference rival Old Dominion university
Siebenbrunner posts
only victory of die day
scott Rose
SENIOR WRITER
The ECU men's tennis team
hosted conference rival Old
Dominion on Tuesday. ODU
defeated the Pirates 4-1. Stephen
Siebenbrunner was the lone ECU
victory, winning 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 over
Nikola Laca.
"Today just wasn't our day
Siebenbrunner said.
The Pirates may have lost the
match 4-1, but the outcome was
closer than the score appeared. At
No. 1 singles, Roope Kalajo, still
playing with an injury, lost the first
set in a tiebreaker. At No. 2
singles, Nils Alomar had to retire
in the third set after splitting sets
with Johan Varverud. At No. 3
singles, Kenny Kirby did not
finish, and was up in the second
set 3-1 before play was stopped.
Play was stopped when ODU
earned their fourth point of the
match. Brett Rowley also split sets
with his opponent and lost it in
the third set 6-2. Oliver Thalen
was tied in the third set 3-3 before
his play was stopped.
The Pirates also lost all three
doubles matches. Kalajo and
Rowley dropped the closest
doubles match 9-7 and Alomar
and Kirby along with Derek Slate
and Thalen lost by the same score
8-3. This
was the
first point
for ODU.
"It was a
very close
match and
we played
well, we
just had
some bad
luck

Golfers unable to recover after shaky first round
Team finishes 14th at
Furman Invitational
STEVE LOSEV
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The golf team finished the
Furman Invitational in 14th place
on Sunday. After winning third
place at Bradford Creek, the
Pirates were hoping to play
another impressive tournament,
but couldn't seem to get it
together. They began the
tournament strongly, placing in
fifth place out of 26 after the first
round, but fell to 14th during the
second round, where they stayed
through the third and final round.
The Pirates arrived in
Greenville, S.C with a nine-over
par performance Friday, shooting
a 297 on the first 18 holes. Virginia
Commonwealth shot a 280,
finishing the first round in first
place with eight under par.
Standing between the Pirates and
VCU was Coastal Carolina
University by one stroke, College
of Charleston by two and Ohio
State University by four. VCU was
too far gone for anybody to catch
them by that time. They led Ohio
State by 13 strokes after Friday.
Sophomore Marc Miller, junior
Scott Campbell and junior co-
captain Daniel Griffis all finished
the first round tied for 16th with a
two over par 74. One stroke
behind them was sophomore
Brian Crawford, tied for 39th.
"We started off real well on the
first day Head Coach Kevin
Williams said. "What hurt us was

something that's been
hurting us all year. We had
one � bad round, and
couldn't recover from it.
We've got to work that
out
The Pirates were
unable to close the gap for
the rest of the weekend.
They dropped to 14th
place on Saturday with a 23
over par 311 performance.
"Our best player, Marc
Miller, had a bad day
Williams said. "We're not
deep enough to cover him
when he has an off day. We

By the year 2000, ECU's athletic
department plans on adding a
new varsity-level women's sport
to its roster.
Because of the tremendous
support and organization
required for such an introduction,
it is reasonable to expect some
passage of time before it can be
officially instated to the athletic
program.
Although discussions have
been held among the department
of athletics, as of this time, no
definite decisions have been
made concerning which specific
sport will be added.
Various questions have arisen
concerning the the addition of a
new sport, and the answers are
associated with ECU's growth as
a Conference USA member.
Since its initiation two years ago,
this intercollegiate athletic
conference has achieved notable
results including increased
attendance at games and
numerous appearances on
television.
With such accomplishments at
stake, ECU hopes to expand its
competitive field and invite more
people to participate by allowing
a new sport to take effect. Several
fellow members of the program
have intentions on expanding
their athletic programs as well,
and consequently, further actions
regarding ECU's new sport will
depend upon and relate to the
directions taken in other schools.

St Joe's Davis, star for one season, tries for NBA
PHILADELPHIA (AP) �
Arthur "Yah" Davis, who as a
freshman in 1996 helped St.
Joseph's to its finest season in two
decades, has decided to leave
school rather than miss a second
season with academic problems.
Davis, 20, has signed with an
agent and declared himself
eligible for the NBA draft.
He has hired Glenn
Schwartzman of Sports Pro in
Bryn Mawr to represent him.
Schwartzman said he would try to
get Davis an invitation to the ,
NBAs pre-draft camp in Chicago
June 2-5.
"If things go well, he'll get an
invitation Schwartzman said. "If
not, he'll probably go to Europe to
play so he can build up his
resume. We believe he has the
ability to. play in the NBA.
"But because he missed a year,
we know there will be some
questions about his ability he
said.
St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli
met with Davis several times in
the past two weeks to talk about
his future.
"By mutual agreement, we
decided it would be best for him
to sign with an agent and pursue a
professional career Martelli said
Monday. "No one here has any
animosity toward Arthur. If he can
do something that will help him
take care of his family, then that
would be great
Davis quickly earned a
reputation as a dangerous shooter
and solid defender during his
freshman season, when the
Hawks broke into the top 25 for
the first time in 24 years and
ended up in the NCAA
tournaments' Sweet 16.
He averaged 14.7 points a
game � 17.7 points in the
Hawks' three NCAA tournament
games.
But he was declared ineligible
last fall and his midterm grades
this spring made it clear that he
would not be able to play in 1998-
99.

World Cup.
Hoddle is a former Monaco
player and reports, starting in
France but denied by the club,

French national coach Aime

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) �
About 200 students rampaged
through downtown Dhaka
Tuesday to protest having to take
annual school exams during the
soccer World Cup that kicks off in
France in June.
The protesters damaged at
least 20 cars during the 30-minute

police dispersed them. A
passenger in one of the damaged
cars was injured.
Nearly 300,000 students across
Bangladesh are scheduled to take
the month-long 12th-gradc exam

ATLANTA (AP) � As the
Chicago Cubs play the Florida
Marlins in the season-opener

He had expected to be Harry

his successor. But Harry Caray
died in February.
Chip Caray, 33, has clearly

Richard Wojcio, 37, of

Bills, bills, bills � many ECU
students have bills to pay. So
getting a job is often as important
as getting into that class you
need to graduate.
'About 12,000 to 13,000
students work on campus. Many
qf these students start job
; hunting in the office of financial
aid, located in the Old Cafeteria
Building on Central Campus.
The office offers 500 work-

"Students can apply for the
work-study program on the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) form. The student
receives
a financial
aid summary
report
indicating whether
or not the student has
received the aid.
The federal government only
allows a certain amount of money
a year for this program. This is
the reason the number of work-
study students on campus is
limited.
If the student has received
work-study, he or -
she is allotted a
certain amount of
money per year to
work. For the
1997-98 school
year, students
were allowed
$1600, which is
an increase of
$600 over what
was offered last
year. This was a
result of the
increase in
minimum wage.

job is up to the

Deeson Swain has a weekend job

is one of many ECU students
with unusual jobs.
Swain, a junior business major,
is a skydiving instructor for
Carolina Sky Sport in Louisburg,
N.C. Most college students earn
money as sales clerks, waiters and
waitresses or at other common
jobs. But like Swain, some
students find unique ways to pay
their bills. As an instructor, Swain
teaches basic jumping techniques
then makes a tandem jump with a
student. The jump includes
being harnessed to a student,
ensuring a safe return to the
ground.
"I meet a student and am given
about five minutes to earn their
trust enough to make the jump
Swain said. As an instructor, he
has made about 200 tandem
jumps. "I have not had one

said.

Skydiving as a hobby or as a job
continues to be an adventure
evey time. Swain says, each time
you step out of the plane,
"you bet your life" that
everything is going to go
according to plan.
Swain, 20, has made
approximately 700 solo jumps
since he first began skydiving.
Other types of jumps he has
completed include
demonstration, ' free-falling
photography, night jumps and
water jumps. His highest jump
was 19,000 feet in the air, which
required breathing in oxygen on
the way up.

PeeDee the Pirate, ECU's

To most people PeeDee is
simply a character. But kids do
not see him the same way.
"When you're looking through
the eyes of a child, it's like seeing
Santa Claus said Bailey.
PeeDee was recently in a
parade and gave a hug to one of
the children in the crowd who
was in a wheelchair. This simple
gesture left a lasting impression
on the community and on the
child, Bailey says. Bailey later
found out the child had cerebral
palsy and accepted an invitation
to visit the child's house on
Christmas Day. Bailey arrived as
PeeDee, bringing sparkles to the
young boy's eyes. v
Bailey does not receive a
paycheck for his work, but he says
it's worth carrying around an extra
15-pound wardrobe. It's not just
for the love for ECU; it's for the
kids also, he said!
Similar to Swain and Bailey,
Brent Anderson also has an
unusual job. Anderson, a junior
public relations major, is a soccer
coach and referee for Greenville

ages 5-18 years old. Working with
the youth during the week,
Anderson has become a role

FOCUS SECTION WRITER
If finding time to study is a major
problem, then help is at hand.
The answer to your problem may
be summed up in two words: time
management. According to James
Sturm, director for the student
leadership development programs,
everyone � especially students �
needs to be better time managers.
Studies show that students spend
70 percent of their time outside of
class. That's why it's important for
them to plan ahead. Sturm
recommends that each student take
at least 15 minutes each day for each
class to read or do problems that
pertain to the subject. Doing this
keeps the material fresh in your
mind and will allow you to ask
questions in class to better
understand the subject.
"It's OK to go over the 15-minute
mark as long as you accomplish your
goal for the 15 minutes said Sturm.
and better
grades. If one devises a good plan
of time management for your
schedule and apply the 15 minute
plan, one will discover that one
naturally obtains a better knowledge
of each subject and will not find
oneself trying to cram for hours to do
homework or study for a test. This,
in turn, will result in better grades
and more free time.
Students will also have less stress
.md they will be healthier, Sturm
said. By developing such a plan you
will feel more confident that you are
ready for tests. One will also find
that one has more time to eat good
meals instead of just having time to
pick something up, and one won't
be stuffing oneself with doughnuts
and coffee to stay awake the night
before a test.
To form a successful plan of time
management one must first get
organized. Determine your most
productive time of the day and plan
to do your most important tasks
then. Don't try to take on
everything in one day; rather,
prioritize your tasks for each day and
make sure the tasks with the highest
priority are completed.
Take advantage of the resources
provided by the university to make
your day-to-day tasks simpler. For
example, you can find books on time
management at the library or get
information from the Center for
Student Development and
Counseling or the Student
Leadership Development Programs.
Use a day-to-day appointment
calendar, a note pad for reminders
and a daily "To Do" list planning the
events of the day or even week.
"I like to list my activities for the
day on my calendar from most
important to least important Sturm
said.
Make the most of short bits of
time through the day. For example,
you can read a letter while waiting in
line. For those people who go to
school and work it is even more
important that they have a thorough
plan of time management, according
to Sturm.
Experts recommend six basic
steps:
Prioritize your tasks. You have to
determine the urgency and
importance of each task.
Use your time effectively. You
should make productive use of your
free time and set time aside for a
work hour and time-off hour.
Avoid procrastination. You should
set deadlines other than the ones
assigned for yourself and award
yourself when they are met.
Organize yourself in a manner
that is time efficient and beneficial
in completing your task.
Practice efficiency. You should
work as if you were self-employed.
Delegate by assigning deadlines
and ongoing responsibilities for a
certain time period.
Students needing help with time
management can go to the Center
for Student Development and
Counseling on the third floor of the
Wright Building or contact the
Student Leadership Development
Programs in 109 Mendenhall
