Chancellor overrules committee's
decision, dismisses DeMarco
Written explanation
expresses fear
Holly Harris
assistant news editor
The Faculty Hearing made their
decision and now Eakin has made
his. The Chancellor dismissed
tenured Speech Pathology profes-
sor Sal DeMarco last Thursday for
displaying inappropriate behavior
despite a recommendation by a fac-
ulty due process committee to the
contrary.
DeMarco was suspended with
pay in April of 1997 amid allega-
tions that he had demonstrated vio-
lent behavior towards colleagues,
and shouted
obscenities
during faculty
meetings A
panel of six
faculty mem-
bers was
assembled to
hear the case
and make rec-
ommendations
to Eakin
regarding the
termination of
DeMarco's position.
Chancellor Eakin said he
believes he has made the decision
that is most appropriate.
"I have reviewed the facts of the
case and the transcripts, and have

Oe Marco, overruling the faculty hearing.
made the judgment that is in the
best interests of
the university
Eakin said.
According to
DeMarco,
Eakin's decision
was unfair
because it was
Eakin who first
brought charges
against him, and
Eakin who
made the final
decision. In
a written explanation to DeMarco
of his dismissal, Eakin stated he
believed faculty members were
afraid of DeMarco, and that
DeMarco had not complied with
requests to modify his behavior.
"The right way to have done it
would have been for him Eakin to
have someone else bring the
charges it's part of due process
DeMarco said.
The committee ruled in favor of
DeMarco on all the specifications
brought before them, citing
instances of inappropriate materials
placed in DeMarco's file (including
anonymous letters placed there
without his knowledge), ineffective
departmental leadership and ques-
tionable university policy towards
mediation of disputes. Despite the
fact that his yearly performance

City Council rules downtown bars
excluded from new zoning ordinance
Owners can run bars

SENIOR WRITER
Four area bar owners can breathe a
little easier after Monday night's
ruling by Greenville's City Council.
The clubs were excluded from a
new zoning ordinance that will
keep private clubs out of the Evans
Street mall area.
Owners of Peasant's Cafe,
Wrong Way Corrigans, Cheap Shot
O'Malley's and Sports Pad, banded
together with the Downtown
Association of Restaurants and
Taverns (DART) to keep them-
selves out of the one block bound-
ary of Cotanche, Dickinson,
Washington and Reade.
This boundary was intro-
duced in February by uptown
Greenville and the City Council in
a plan aimed at bringing daytime
shops, restaurants and residents to
the Evans Street mall. They were
concerned that their plan might

conflict with area club owners.
"Uptown Greenville was
concerned with the incompatibili-
ty with restaurants and bars that
might open in the mall said Harry
Hamilton, Greenville's chief of
planning. "In the last 10 years, the
city has encouraged residents to
move to the area. Nighttime activi-
ty could create potential conflict.
There may also be some retail busi-
nesses that wouldn't want to be
near a club
When DART heard about
the proposal, it was just days before
Greenville would vote on the pro-
posal. They quickly hired attorney

ECU ranks 25th in the nation as
one of America's "most wired" col-

A new work of public an is nearing comple-

Plaza" is targeted to be completed by the
end of May 1998.
"The $31 million price tag is funded
through a State Bond Referendum. The
North Carolina Arts Council commissioned
this project under the Artworks for State
Buildings Program said Bruce Flye, direc-
tor of facilities services.
It is through this program that artworks are com-

ECU has one of the lowest student
computing and technology fees in
the state, but manages to keep one
of the most technologically con-
nected campuses in the nation by
spending its money on what offi-
cials call student oriented comput-
ing.
"Of the $50 students pay, $40
goes to hands-on, discipline specif-
ic, student- oriented computing
said Ernie Marshbum, director of
computer information systems
(CIS). 'The other $10 goes to a $13
million bond for upgrading
Marshbum has a strict policy
against spending student technolo-
gy fees on anything but students.
"We won't spend that money on
a lab instructor's station, tables,
desks, chairs or an overhead com-
puter screen Marshbum said.
"That is specifically for student
needs. We will not buy a computer
for a faculty member with that fee
When deciding on how to spend
the money, all departments that
want computer technology for their
students must submit a request to
CIS. This request must ask for what
they want specifi-
cally. "We evaluate
the benefit to the
student and com-

The ECU psychiatric clinic has
opened and is ready to embark on
its mission to provide psychiatric
services to adults. The new office
opened in February and is located
in Elizabeth City.
"The clinic provides outpatient
services and hospital nursing to our
patients said Shari Thompson,
office manager of the clinic.
The clinic also serves as a rural
residency training site for physi-
cians who have completed medical
school and are in a specialized pro-
gram.
The clinic also provides services
for children and adolescents on a
monthly basis by board-certified
child psychiatrists from the ECU
School of Medicine.
Dr. Marilyn Hammond directs
the clinic Hammond, an associate
professor of psychiatric services at
ECU, has a long-term goal of
increasing the number of psychia-
trists who choose to settle and work
in rural areas. According to
Hammond, most psychiatrists
establish their practices in the type
of community in which they did
their residency training.

help these new physicians see the

Gallagher said. "The committee
provided the chancellor with a

report reflected how the committee
felt about the case, but the chancel-
lor has to rule and he has to live ,
with that decision
DeMarco said he will appeal the
ruling to the university board of
trustees and then further to the
UNC- system board of governors if
the trustee's decision is not favor-
able. DeMarco, who surfers from
multiple sclerosis, has also filed for
an investigation by the Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission alleging that the uni-
versity discriminated against him '

as well as refusing to reasonably
accommodate disabilities that his
illness has caused him including
spasticity and depression.
DeMarco put in his request to
be heard by the board of trustees
the day that his dismissal was
announced. The board has 45 days
to decide if they will hear
DeMarco's case. DeMarco said he
would consider employment with
the university if the board of
Trustees rules in his favor.
Until the board notifies
DeMarco on his case status the
matter will remain unresolved.
Eakin said that he is unsure how
the board will rule.

opinion Eakin said. "Now, for the
process to continue and for me to

"Everyone who had an existing

By excluding the four
clubs in the proposed ordinance,
the owners will be able to continue
operating their businesses without
fear of having to move or change
their image. This ordinance has
been designed to not bother pre-
existing businesses, but to keep
new clubs out of the mall.
"We are happy to be on
the same playing field as the other
bars downtown said Paul
Edwards, owner of Peasant's Cafe.
City Council and uptown
Greenville have agreed to spend
$750,000 on removing the bricks
from the mall and replacing them
with a one way street. Estimations
put the completion of the mall by
the end of the year.
Once the mall is complet-
ed, no business will be allowed to
open in the Evans Street mall area
if their primary income is from
entertainment or alcohol. This
includes restaurants that sell food
by day and alcohol by night; over
half of their earnings must come
from the food.

There is another such work, a
sound sculpture, at the Revenue
Building.
The project artist for the Sonic
Plaza, Christopher Janney, is an
internationally known sound artist
who has created interactive
soundarchitecture installations in
Rome, Paris, Boston and New York.
Upon completion, the "Sonic
Plaza" will consist of four elements:
the ground cloud, a media glock-
enspiel, a percussive water wall and
sonic gates. The ground cloud is a
12-foot circle of water mist over a
gate designed to "dance according
to the whim of the wind, at times
static, at times furious Janney
said.
The media glockenspiel is the
clock tower. Inside the face of this
clock tower is an circular ring of a
dozen, 20-inch video monitors cen-
tered around a set of three front
doors from which various icons will
emerge four times a day. At dawn, a
rooster will appear, crowing. At
noon, a steam whistle with smoke
.and at the end of the day the sound
of cannon fire, as if from a pirate
ship.
Each night at midnight, a sur-
prise object and sound will be seen
and heard. ECU music and art stu-
dents, along with faculty supervi-
sion, will determine the sight and
sound. As you near the new
entrance into Joyner Library, there
will be a 15-foot by 40-foot percus-
sion water wall. Within this wall
will be 64 water jets arranged to
play a series of constant changing
patterns of water mist. Janney
designed the fountain to respond to
activity, using proximity sensors.

Don Joyner, assistant dean of
undergraduate studies, has been
named TECs faculty member of
the week.
Joyner graduated from ECU
in 1974 with a bachelor of science
in business administration.
Upon returning to the univer-
sity in 1978, Joyner received his
masters degree in counselor edu-
cation. He then went on to
become a university residence
counselor from 1979-1988.
I was kind of the guidance
counselor in the residence halls
Joyner said. "We (the university
residence counselors) would
come in Monday through Friday
from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. and did
career exploration, provided aca-
demic information to the stu-
dents and helped students with
personal and social difficulties
Joyner advanced to become
the coordinator of the freshmen
experience seminar and the assis-
tant director of orientation.
"This is when I started
putting together this class and
designing the syllabus Joyner
said. "My primary job was the
development and teaching of the
freshmen seminar
After a time as the direc-
tor of orientation, Joyner accept-
ed his current position as the
assistant dean of undergraduate
studies. He also teaches COAD
(the department of counselor and
adult education) courses.
"COAD helps students on
three different levels Joyner,
said. "The first level is the,
adjustment and understanding of
the university environment; (he
second is the understanding of
academic requirements, specifi-
cally academic advising, under-
standing the catalog, roles and
regulations, and awareness of,
various study skills that will
enhance their performance; and
the third is career exploration
Joyner teaches four to five-
sectioas of the COAD courses
each semester, and said he also
tries to get volunteers to teach
the class.
"I want to develop a special
mentoring relationship between
the faculty members and a group
of students Joyner said.
Joyner said that he enjoys his
present job because besides,
teaching, he also supervises at'
the academic support center.
"Every student who is in acade-
mic difficulty is required to be
involved in an intervention pro-

Can you believe the nerve of that City Council? Passing a law restricting the growth of bars
downtown. Don't they know it's our God-given right as college students to spend our week-
ends in an alcoholic haze? All those old fogeys want to do is spoil our fun, right?
Not really.
The new law might not be as bad as ECU students think it is. The law that was passed
by the City Council only applies to the Evans Street Mall area, better known as the brick
walkway where Energy is. New bars will only be prohibited from being opened in the area
bordered by Cotanche, Dickinson, Washington and Reade.
That's really not a whole lot.
It's more like a one-block area. New bars and dance clubs could still open up, so long as
they are outside of the designated area. That leaves 99 percent of Greenville available for
bumpin grindin' and boozin
As popular as places like the Cellar and the Sports Pad are with some students, there
are some who would like to see a greater variety downtown than dance club after dance
club. Downtown Greenville could see a growth of restaurants and shops of all kinds on
Evans Street.
A crop of new restaurants is something downtown sorely needs. Most downtown areas
in major college towns have a wide range of food available to students. With a few excep-
tions, the biggest decision students can make now is what kind of pizza or subs to have.
Under the new law, restaurants can be allowed to have alcohol and entertainment, so long
as more than half of their money comes from food sales.
More places to shop will be a welcome addition to the cigar stores and head shops we
already have. It would be great to have places right downtown to buy clothes, rent movies,
and so on.
Residential areas are in the plan. Hopefully, they will be affordable enough for students
to live in. They could provide another spot for off-campus housing within walking distance
of campus.
At the first glance, the new law looks like an effort to stifle what goes on downtown.
Actually, it is a move to create a more diverse environment and revive an area in a slump.
If we wait, soon there will be a better downtown that has something for everybody. A lit-
tle variety is never a bad thing.

We're not as civilized as we think
we are not that
civilized. Maybe, we will
never be the civil society we
like to think we are.
Civilization: making or becom-
ing civilized. Civilize(d): to cause
to improve from a savage or primi-
tive stage of human society to a
more developed one.
The social psychologists, news
media, religious leaders and the
anti-gun lobby will all try to explain
what happened in Arkansas. Some
blame society as a whole; our fasci-
nation with violence and guns are
the cause of the shooting. Others
might blame the parents, the kids
or even Satan as the cause of the
children's trouble. I believe I have
happened upon the answer. The
human race is not civilized.
As a species we have either com-
mitted or allowed genocide to hap-
pen all to often. Hider tried to
eradicate, homosexuals, followers of
the Jewish faith, the handicapped
and whoever the hell he felt was
not "perfect Our own govern-
ment has killed or attempted to kill
leaders of foreign nations. Ethnic
cleansing has recently happened in
Bosnia and Somalia to name two.
We, as United States citizens, flinch
when the President orders troops to
stabilize one of these regions.
Civilized?
Traffic accidents happen all the
time. Slowing down to see what
happened satisfies our morbid
curiosity. The flashing lights of the
ambulance draw our eyes to the
gruesome seen like a vulture to a
carcass. Human generosity takes a
back seat to animal instincts.
As a society, many of us have
evolved the ability to go deaf on
demand. "Spare a quarter, mister
said he. Said I, nothing, my eyes
averted from this man. My eyes,
your eyes they too have turned
away from another human being.
We justify our silence by saying
these people are alcoholics, on
crack, or whatever we feel is neces-
sary to alleviate our conscience. I
have seen animals with more com-
passion than you or me.
We laugh and joke at other peo-
ple's misfortune. What is the dif-
ference between Christopher
Reeve and O.J. Simpson? O.J.
walked. I laughed, as did everyone
else I knew who heard the joke.
Cops is still being broadcast.
The Ultimate Fighting
Championships draw huge crowds,
both in the arenas and on televi-
sion. Watch the highlights from a
NASCAR race; two things are usu-
ally shown: the winner getting the
checkered flag and wrecks. Listen
to the crowd at a boxing match,
hit'em, pulverize the kid or even
kill him.
What happened in Arkansas was
a tragedy. I am not saying I am any
better than everyone else. All I am
trying to say is that we are not that
civilized. Maybe, we will never be
the civil society we like to think we
are. Remember, the Roman
Empire thought they were civi-
lized. What does history tell us
about them?
I am not advocating a
Neanderthal type of life-style. All I
am saying is that we should not pre-
tend to be something we are not.

State's impeding colleges
This letter is being written in
response to the article "University
no longer accepting out-of-state
applications appearing in The East
Carolinian on April 21.
The true reason for the restrict-
ed university admission policy for
the University of North Carolina
system is not really financially
based, as the article explains. The
state of North Carolina would love
to reduce the amount of money it is
required to give the constituent
schools of the system and place
that financial burden on out-of
state students. There is a larger
problem, however, that restricts the
ability of North Carolina to do this.
Who is to blame? The North
Carolina public school system,
which ranks a whopping 48th in
the country in terms of SAT scores.
What this means is that many thou-
sands of North Carolina high school
graduates are literally unable to
attend college outside of North
Carolina.
What all this means is that the
North Carolina public school sys-
tem is hurting the UNC system by
not allowing the constituent uni-
versities to accept the best students
who apply, thereby improving the
universities. Iastead, they are
required to accept students "educt-
ed" in North Carolina � students
who are literally unable to read and
write a simple paragraph (I have
graded junior-level papers here and
was appalled).
Unfortunately, North Carolina
would rather penalize universities
for trying to admit better students
than address a real problem, that of
the totally inadequate education it
is providing for its children.

Does ECU really need
a new dining nail?
William Stacey
Cochran:
YES
a new cafeteria
will only benefit a
small portion of the
student body
East Carolina University has decided to build a new
cafeteria for the West campus. Honesdy, building this
new cafeteria is a good thought but definitely not the
brightest idea that has ever hit the university adminis-
tration. Of course it would be nice to have a new eating
facility, but there are just too many others things of
which we are in dire need.
Students, faculty and
everyone and their brothers
have been practically beg-
ging for a parking deck. A
parking deck is what we
need if there is money to
bum.
The lack of money may
be a factor stifling the con-
struction of the parking
deck, so now that money is present, let's just utilize it for
something we do not necessarily need, right?
There are numerous reasons that the funding should
be allotted to a different project. First, a new cafeteria
will only benefit a small portion of the student body.
ECU, relative to other state and private universities, has
a very low percentage of students who reside on cam-
pus. Out of those on campus students, many do not
even regularly dine at the dining hall due to lack of time,
quality of food, etc
So why can the money not be used for a project that
profits a greater portion of the student body (like a park-
ing deck)? The situation would be entirely different if
there were only one cafeteria to facilitate the entire
ECU campus, but we are spending money to replace
something we already have. It is ludicrous!
The issue would not be so frustrating if there seemed
to be some logical and coher-
ent motivation for this con-
struction. I am sorry, but the
need for more student ser-
vices does not justify the cafe-
teria project. The whole
thing is just frivolous. I have
lived on West campus, eaten
in Mendenhall, the whole
nine yards, and it really was
not that traumatic (except for
maybe the salad bar around
closing time).
At a rime when the university is making great strides
in such a variety of areas, it would be very appropriate to
give this campus something that would benefit most all
of the students and the
faculty�whether it be a
new parking deck, a
bridge over Tenth Street,
a raise in professor's
salaries � anything
besides a dining hall!
Again it is not as if a new
hall wouldn't be nice, it
is just not necessary. And
when it comes to money,
especially around here,
necessity should rule.
.the need for
more student ser-
vices does not
justify the cafeteria
project
give this
campus something that
would benefit most all �
of the students and the
faculty
Mendenhall Dining Facility was built in 1974, nearly
a quarter century ago. For the past 24 years, it has
stood as a place for thousands upon thousands of stu-j
dents to eat together as a united student body. It has
been a place to socialize, to study, to relax � in short, '
it has been a place to be an East Carolina University j
student. It is where we go when we need nourish- j
ment.
But buildings change. I remember eating at Jones J
Hall Cafeteria long before ground was broken on '
East Campus's commodious Todd Dining Hall �
Students stood in lines that literally streamed out of .
the bowels of Jones Hall (pun painfully intended).
But alas, times changed. Mendenhall could not11
efficiently serve the influx of students making the
trek from College Hill to avoid Jones Hall's roach-
infested, 200-seater, "cafeteria" (I use this term
loosely. My father and mother used to cat in Jones
back in the eariy '60s, so by 1992 it was truly crum-
bling and squalid).
Students flooded Mendenhall between 5:45 and j
6:45 PM, and it was not uncommon for lines to reacrT
out to the central courtyard outside of Mendenhall.
There was no question about the need for Todd. And
Todd Dining Hall has certainly helped attenuate the
mass of students herded into Mendenhall every
evening.
Still though, there are ten dorms on central and
west campus (four of which are high rises) and only
five in close proximity to Todd (with Tyler being the
only high rise on the Hill). Central and west campus
students have become the ones who make the trek in
order to avoid the overcrowding and less refined con
ditions of Mendenhall. But the student body has
grown.
There are times when it is simply impossible toj;
find a table in Mendenhall due to overcrowding (ancC
don't you hate that feeling of helplessness when-
you're standing there with a tray of food in your-
hands but there's no place to sit and it feels like half,
the dining hall is watching to see how you handle
your precariously held tray, while all-t he- while you're
trying to look cool and find a place to sit and winking
at one or two of the opposite sex and managing some-
how not spilling that grilled cheese and tater tots
which any gourmand can appreciate). And even
Todd becomes overcrowded during its peak hours.
Fact is, we simply need a larger and more efficient
diruri�facility.
One can complain about the lack of parking and
the need for a parking deck, but it is this nickle-and-
dime columnist's belief that students need efficient-
ly served food more so than a place to park their
Hyundai. I mean, you gotta eat (although Hyundais
certainly have their place too).
The new 600-seat dining hall will be a welcome
addition to west campus. And let's face it; ECU's din-
ing services make an exorbitant amount of money
from monopolizing our dining choices. A new dining
hall will attract more students and make even more
money for good ole ECU. It will assure continued
growth and diversification to ECU, the pride of
Eastern North Carolina.

Van Halen
Van Halen III
2 OUT OF 10
Pat Reid
senior write!
For the millions of Van Halen fans
everywhere, the wait is finally over
as Van Halen III is in stores and
available for mass consumption.
Unfortunately, it lacks the spark
and energy that fans have come to
expect from the band and could
easily leave buyers regretting
spending the money.
Last summer, the band domi-
nated headlines as they shuffled
between three singers. First, there
was the surprise firing of front man
Sammy Hagar, who had been in
the band for over ten years. Next,
the band reunited with their origi-
nal lead singer David Lee Roth for
two songs for their greatest hits
package. Fans waited with baited
breath to see if the once tumul-
tuous relationship between Roth
and guitarist Eddie Van Halen had
settled down. Their fears were
realized when, in September, Roth
was given the boot a second time
and former Extreme singer Gary
Cherone was hired.
The band was silent thereafter
until work on the new album was
completed. Only then "did they
emerge from the confines of Van
Halen's studio to talk to the press.
Their message was clear This is
our best album ever and Cherone is
the best singer this band has ever
had. Based on this message, it
would appear that the band has not
yet listened to their own album.
Van Halen III has received
mixed reactions from fans, and
pales have been disappointing. In
fact, is the first Van Halen
album not to go to 1 on Billboard's
charts since 1983's 1984. One listen
explains why the album has failed
fo impress the record buying pub-
I The album starts off wonderful-
ly with a short instrumental called
fNeworld Featuring piano and
acoustic guitar, it relaxes listeners
just before the second track,
Without You" smacks them in the
i
face. "Without You" takes a little
getting used to for a number of rea-
sons.
i First, there is the adjustment to
the new voice. Second, the version
on the record is the original demo,
so there are some rough spots and a
few odd notes. However, after a
couple of listens, "Without You"
easily becomes the best song on
the CD.
The biggest problem with the
record is the songwriting. In inter-
views, Eddie talked at great length
about how proud he is of the words
on this album. He says, "For the
first time ever, the words inspired

longs lack the charisma of typical
Van Halen songs.

Ah, the wonders of bootleg video.
Through means both legal and oth-
erwise (mostly otherwise), bootleg
entrepreneurs deal their wares to
eager customers worldwide who
crave rare entertainment nuggets.
Want to see the new Godzilla

ger. Weird

wrestling
movies? Ditto.
Pornographic

video is the
only way to go.
How do these tapes get made?
Connections, baby, connections.
The good video bootlegger has con-
nections around the world who sup-
ply him with the strange, the off-
beat, the stuff that no legit video
company would touch with a ten-
foot pole. He makes copies of the
tapes, xeroxes some kind of box art
and puts the whole package on sale
via sci-fi and movie conventions,
through the internet, in his parents'
garage wherever he can.
If this sounds like a specialty
market, it is. But there's still a
dizzying array of material only avail-

able through bootleggers, some of
it surprising. Until recendy, pubes-
cent staple Heavy Metal was only
available through bootleggers, as
was Ralph Bakshi's animated clas-
sic American Pop. And The
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, one
of the biggest cult movies this side
of Rocky Horror, has gone out of
print Legally, anyway. �'
I've been introduced to whole
new worlds of cinema through
boots. Sure, in the wake of the suc-
cess of films like Broken Arrow and
Face-Off, Hong Kong action direc-
tor John Woo is enjoying immense
popularity. But where did he gar-
ner his American
following?
Through the
legion of fans
introduced to his
work by bootleg-
gers. Though you
can now get Woo
classics Hard
Boiled and The
Killer on legal
video, his really
hard-hitting
films, such as
Heroes Shed No Tears or Bullet in the
Head, are available only through
bootlegs.
And Woo's fellow Hong Kong
native Jackie Chan? Though the
market is flooded with his crappy
early films, his best are still
unavailable. Chan classic Project A,
which features his best prop fight,
the infamous bicycle chase attack,
can only be seen through bootlegs.
Likewise, Chan's best film ever,
the glorious Drunken Master II, has
never been released in America.
If you're a fan of anime (or
Japanimation, if you must), the best
stuff is only available through shady

means. The hugely popular series
Macross (partially adapted in
America as '80s cartoon series
Robotech) remains unavailable in its
original form. And more recent
releases, such as the fantasy anime
Vision of Escofoteme or the critically-
acclaimed Memories (from Akira cre-
ator. Katsuhiro Otomo), are avail-
able only in pricey, untranslated
Japanese imports.
But it's not only products of Asia
that can be found through your
friendly neighborhood bootlegger.
American television classics can
also be sought out if you know the
right people. Bootlegs can be
thanked for the continuing popu-
larity of Ralph Bakshi's infamous
Mighty Mouse cartoon show (the
one that supposedly showed
Mighty snorting cocaine � a false
allegation, but provocative
nonetheless).
Then there's the jewel in the
bootleg video crown, the long-lost
Star Wars Holiday Special. Who

much and become burdened by the
message. Still, Cherone could prob-
ably pull it off on songs like "Dirty
Water Dog" and "Ballot or the
Bullet" if there were better chorus-
es. With lines like, "I'm a peek-a-
boy, looking at girlsand I think I
like, I think I like what I see"
"Dirty Water Dog" does not stand a
chance.
Musically, the album sounds like
a band trying to rip off Van Halen.
Eddie, long acknowledged as a gui-
tar virtuoso, falls short of his poten-
tial as some songs contain stale,
rehashed riffs and leads, and others
merely lack any real substance at
all.
Still, they all pale in comparison
to the last, and arguably the worst.
song on the CD, "How Many Say
I This six-minute opus features
Eddie singing lead vocals for the
first time. With a voice comparable
to Pink Floyd's Roger Waters,
Eddie ventures down a road better
left unexplored. None of the lyrics
to this song are very strong; but the '
chorus is the worst part as "How
many, how many say I?" is repeated
endlessly with Cherone singing har-
mony. The second chorus repeats
that single line 11 times. Anyone
ever heard of overkill?
In all, this album has few high-
lights. "Neworld" and "Without
You" are both excellent, but they
are basically different forms of the
same song. After that, "Dirty Water
Dog "Fire in the Hole" and "One
I Want" are listenable, but not plea-
surable. Hopefully, the band will
come to their senses soon and make
the album that fans know they are
capable of making and Van Halen III

MTV
coniingtd from page 6
Add in the commercials and the
chatter about why the video for
Hooties "Hold My Hand"
deserves a "5" and you get exactly
three videos per half-hour. This
isn't much of an improvement over
the two videos per half-hour the
network used to show, if they
showed videos at all.
This, of course, is the problem
with MTV. The characteristic
about MTV that bugs Bart
Simpson (and the rest of us too) is
not the VJs. I could put up with
Pinhead if I knew the following
videos were worth watching. The
problem with MTV is not that the
game shows suck (though they do)
or that the VJs are boring and banal
(though they are.) No, the problem
with MTV is that they need to show
morevideos.
I'm not sure who runs MTV, but
they still haven't gotten the point
This past week, in yet another
effort to draw viewers back to the
fold, the network brought back all
the clasic VJs and had them play 12
Angry Viewers, with Kennedy host-
ing the show. Bleah.
At the same time, MTV decided
to give its faithful viewers the
chance to vote on who the newest
VJ would be. There were no limits
to how many times one could vote,
and since voting was done chiefly
online, all those wackos who used
to mail in stupid commentary to
MTV Yack got to vote as many
times as they wanted to.
They picked (from an otherwise
pleasant group of people) the most
annoying, predictable character, a
fellow named Jesse. Jesse looks
like Perry Farrell. Dresses like him
too. Come to think of it Jesse sang
a little ditty (rather than show a
video) and golly, he sounded just
like Perry Farrell. He so resembles
Perry Farrell in every way that I
was genuinely frightened, more
frightened than I would have been
if I'd seen the real Perry Farrell. He
was thinner than the Jane's
Addiction frontman, but I'd be
willing to bet that he shoots more
heroin than Perry. He was, after all,
weirder than Perry.
There are still' not any more
videos per hour than there were last
week The 10 Spot keeps happen-
ing. The endless reruns of what
seems like the fifth Madonna spe-
cial in the past 4 years keep going
on. I think the only reason we're
not still seeing reruns of the Video
Music Awards is because the tape
must have broken from overuse.
In other words, MTV sucks just
as bad as it did when Bart wrote "I
no longer want my MTV The
whole thing reminds me of the
Food Lion bleached meat scandal a
few years back. If you bleach rancid
meat, the bleach won't kill all the
germs, it'll just fill the meat full of
chlorine. Then you have rancid
meat that tastes like bleach.
Yummy.
The same holds true for MTV. If
you fill a rancid network with new
VJs, they won't change the fact that
the network is rancid. You'll just
have a rancid network with bad VJs
to boot Ohhh- I think I lost my
appetite. Keep your VJs � I no
longer want my MTV.

Lady Pirate softball secures top seed
FOR MORE INFORMATION

Regilar season closed with
14-2 conference record
Travis Bark lev
SEMOR WRITER
The ECU softball team
continued their outstanding play
over the weekend, winning three
out of four games and capturing
the Big South Conference regular
season championship. The Pirates
have secured the top seed in the
Big South Tournament for the
second year in a row.
On Saturday, the Pirates split a
double-header against the
University of Maryland at
Baltimore County. UMBC
snapped ECU's 13-game winning
streak in the first game 3-0. Lisa
Paganini allowed only five hits
but took the loss as UMBC scored
single runs in the second, fourth
and fifth innings.
The second game saw ECU
get back on track with a shutout of
their own.
Pirate shortstop Marnie
Oursler doubled with one out in
the top of the first. Oursler came
home on Isonette Polonius'
single, scoring the only run of the
game.
One run was all Pirate starter
Denise Reagan would need as she
cruised to her seventh shutout of
the season. The win raised
Reagan's record to 17-5, 7-0 in the
Big South. Reagan lowered her
ERA to 1.07 and extended her
streak of consecutive innings
without an earned run to 36.1.
The win against UMBC meant
that the Pirates needed one win
against George Mason to wrap up
the conference title.
ECU would get that win in the
first game on Sunday. The Pirates
trailed 1-0 in the top of the fifth
but rallied, scoring four runs in the
inning. ECU added three in the
sixth for a 7-1 final.
Senior starter Jami Bendle got
her biggest win of the season,
improving to 14-6 on the year.
Even though the conference tide
was on the line, Bendle said she
wasn't nervous.
"I didn't feel any extra
pressure because I didn't know it
was the clincher Bendle said.
At the plate the Pirates banged
out 11 hits. Polonius went 2-2
with two RBIs and senior Christi
Valcvich was 3-3 with two RBIs as
well.
The second game on Sunday
was rained out and moved to
Monday afternoon. On Monday
ECU continued their dominant
play, winning 4-0 behind the
strong pitching performance of
Paganini. The shutout was
Paganini's seventh of the year.
She scattered seven hits and
struck out four to improve to 8-6.
There was no letdown, even
though the Pirates had already
clinched the number one seed the
day before.
"We wanted to go out and have
fun Bendle said. "We didn't
want to drop another game
Head Coach Tracey Kee said
that the Pirates will continue to
play hard the rest of the season.
"The girls realize that just
because we have the number one
seed, we aren't going to lay down
for two weeks Kee said.
The Pirates will begin
preparing for the Big South
Tournament by playing in the
Hokie Invitational this weekend
in Blacksburg, Va.
"Hopefully we will go there
and get in five games Kee said.
"That way I can throw all of my
pitchers out there and see a lot of
at-bats
"It'll be nice to play some
different teams Bendle said. "It
will help us get used to
tournament play
ECU's record now stands at 39-
17. Their 14-2 conference mark is
the team's best ever. While the
Pirates are playing extremely
well, Kee says there is always
room for improvement
"I think our pitchers need to
maintain what they're doing
Kee said. "Offensively we need to
continue driving the ball hard

Championship Club football program brought back to ECU
All students, faculty and
staff invited to participate
Ian robson
SENIOR WRITF�
On April 15, a meeting was held
for all individuals interested in
starting a club football team at
ECU.
Although club football has lost
much of its support over the years,
this will mark the second time in
three years an attempt has been
made at resurrecting the sport.
Many forget that ECU was one
of the original club football teams
in North Carolina among others
such as UNC and N.C. State.
ECU posted an impressive record
in those years, winning the
championship five times. The
university, along with club sports
program directors, has been
reluctant to start a new team due
to increasing liability costs.
If ECU students, faculty and
staff can show enough interest in
developing a team, a green light
has been given to start. Starting
the team will require at least 30
individuals wanting to have fun
and play against surrounding
schools.
Tommy Dorsey and Lynn
Featherstone spoke at the
meeting on behalf of returning a
team to ECU. Dorsey is an ECU
alumni who is now a graduate
student at Duke University and
an offensive lineman on Duke's
club football team. Featherstone
is a faculty adviser and coach of
UNC's championship team.
"The team gives the young
guys another chance to play ball if
they didn't get a scholarship and
gives us old guys a chance to butt
heads with 40-year-old men
Dorsey said.
Featherstone compares the
club football talent level with that
of a low-level division three team.
The program is open to everyone
interested and no experience is
necessary. The only cost is that of
the entry fee, which has been
tentatively set at $150 per player,
not including equipment costs.
The total cost of starting the
team will tentatively be about
$4800 which will go toward league
entrance fees, referees, fields and
miscellaneous costs. The team
would need to raise about $2500.
"The prices have to be high
enough so we can get a team
started but low enough to attract
people Dorsey said. "There are
also many ways that the money
can be raised: we've done raffles,
car washes; you'd be surprised
how much money we raised for
our squad
The team would practice three
times a week and play games on
Sundays. Traveling could either
be by van or driving your own car
to the games.
"It's really a good time; it's fun
to travel to different schools and
play on their fields Featherstone
said. "Plus you get to hit guys
from Duke and Carolina every
week. What could be better?"
Not much, unless N.C. State
was still in the league.
Another meeting is scheduled
for Wednesday, April 19 in room
142 at Minges Coliseum at 7 p.m.
Support and participation is much
needed so if you are interested,
come out and see what the
program is all about. For more
information, contact Tommy
Dorsey at 758-9151.

Superstitious beliefs
ease athletes' minds
Pirates share their
superstitions with TEC
Paul Kaplan
SE1IOI WHITER
In every sport, all over America
and all over the world there is one
thing that mostly all athletes do
regardless of their sport . No
matter where you go or what team
you are watching, you can always
find those individual athletes who
have their interesting
superstitions and quirks that are
inherent to them.
For all those of you who have
seen the movie Major League,
you should remember a character
by the name of Pedro Cerrano.
Cerrano is the epitome of an
athlete caught up in superstition.
For those of you who never saw
Major League, Cerrano has a
problem hitting curve balls. In his
words, "I hit straight ball very far,
curve ball I no hit at all So for
the majority of the movie Cerrano
prays to Jobu and even makes
offerings to him.
In a more realistic situation
looking at the NBA's Michael
Jordan, whose name often comes
to mind first because of his history
throughout his professional career
of wearing his old Carolina Blue
Tar Heel shorts under his
uniform.
More locally and closer to
home you can find many athletes,
maybe not with the fame and
fortune of Michael Jordan, or the
devout religious practices of
Cerrano, but they do have who
have their own individual
superstitions.
"One superstition that I have
is that I wear the same shorts
every game. I have been doing it
since last year. Last year I had a
pretty good season and I just kept
wearing those shorts and this year,
so far f have been playing pretty
well baseball team captain
Randy Rigsby said. "Also if I get
in a pretty good groove, I'll keep
doing the same things before each
game to get into a routine. I try to
get the same routine, maybe it is
helping, maybe it's not, but it
helps me mentally
This actually turns out to be
the way that most coaches and
athletes at the college level look
at their preparation for games and
practices.
"I'm possibly the most
unsuperstitious guy there is, I
played baseball and football in
college and I just never got into
that. I just don't have any of the
those kind of hang tips head
football coach Steve Logan said.
"I just get so consumed with the
teaching aspects, like have we
taught it correctly, more than
which which shoe I tied first, or if
I tied it correctly
It turns out that of the many
coaches and players spoken to,
the majority of them do not
believe that superstitions make
you the player, and that it is the
hard work that does.
"A lot of the guys on the team
have superstitions, but mostly it's
your basic work hard and get stuff
done attitude baseball player
Ryan Massimo said. "You get on a
hot streak and you try to stay with
the same things. I don't really
believe in it, I just try to work
hard and things work out
Although superstitions work
for some, for most they are more
trivial then helpful, and we all
must remember that even Pedro
Cerrano left Jobu and his
superstitions behind in the end of
the movie.
The Pirate baseball team-suffered a
disappointing loss to Winthrop on Tuesday night,
12-10. The next home game for the team will
be on Friday, May 1 against James Madison.
Game time is set for 4 p.m.

Intramural programs offer variety for all
Softball remains most
popukrsport
scott Rose
SENIOR WHITER
It has come down to the final
stretch at the end of the semester,
and the intramural program is sail
going strong with many sports
open for student involvement.
Some of the sports currently in
action include Softball, indoor
soccer, tennis doubles, water polo,
four-on-four flag football, golf and
frisbee golf doubles.
Softball has the most
participation of all the sports.
Levels of competition range from
men's gold and purple, women's
gold and purple, co-ed gold and
purple and Greek gold and
purple. Softball allows 10 people
on the field and a maximum of 12
can bat at certain levels. There
are four fields, two behind and
two in front of the stadium.
Indoor soccer is played at
Christcnbury Gym and is played
with seven to a team.
Tennis doubles are being
played at the tennis courts by
Minges and a maximum of two to
a team can participate.
Water polo, which is being
played at the SRC pool, allows
five to a team. This sport is
different than the water polo
many people think of. It is played
in inner tubes which the person
must be sitting on top of while
trying to throw the ball into the
goal.
Four-on-four flag football is a
new addition to the intramural
program. It will consist of four
players to a team and has only 32
minutes of playing time with no
halftime. The games will be held
at the bottom of College Hill
before the sun goes down.
"We are going to try it out and
see how it goes and hopefully it
will be a success said David
Gaskins, director of intramurals.
Golf singles is also in action
and there are two divisions: gold
and purple for both men and
women golfers.
Frisbee golf doubles is also a
new addition to the intramural
program this season. All games
will be played at the frisbee golf
course by the track and baseball
field.
Some of the summer sports
that will be available to the
students in May include softball,
five-on-five basketball and tennis
singles. In June there will be
volleyball, racquetball, frisbee
golf singles and a basketball

The NFL draft didn't quite go
the .way Gonzalez had wanted it
to.
"Originally I was hoping the
draft would work out Gonzalez
said. "The situation with free
agency came around, and I took
what I could get"
After the draft ended on

Gonzalez had many scouts
from the NFL watching him play.
Seven teams were interested in
adding Gonzalez including the
New England Patriot, Seattle
Scahawks, Atlanta Falcons,
Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore
Ravens. Gonzalez decided to sign
with the Cowboy because he had
the best chance at making the
team in Dallas.

Full 4-year award to

FOCUS SECTION W1ITEI
Checking his pockets, Jonathan
, Easterlin, an ECU freshman
smiles. "I left it on my desk. I
never leave my room without it. I
carry it in my backpack all the
time
Easterlin does not mean his keys
or his one card, he means his
inhaler� the medication that not
only helps to clear his bronchial
tubes but also cleared his way to
college.
Unlike other scholarship
recipients, Easterlin is not an
athlete or a genius. He is,
however, asthmatic, and thanks to
the North Carolina Division of
Vocation Rehabilitation, Easterlin
is also a full four-year scholarship
recipient due to his illness.
As a child born with asthma,
Easterlin spent long periods in the
hospital hooked up to a nebulizer
and being given Provental, a drug
that helps relax the bronchial
tubes.
"Anything can trigger my
attacks Easterlin said. "Just
having a cold or even coughing can
start an attack
Easterlin, a music education
major from Laurinburg, was
selected from
hundreds of
other North
Carolina high
school students
who had any
physical disabilities
to receive this
scholarship,
based solely on a
physical exam
and medical
history.
"I never
applied for the
scholarship
Easterlin said.
"I think
they
got
my name
from a
school list
of kids that
had
asthma
never applied
for the scholarship,
I think they got my
name from a
school list of
kids that had
asthma.
Jonathan Easterlin
Easterlin
believes he
would still have been able to attend
college without the scholarship,
but admits it's a lot easier since he
would have had to get a job in
order to attend ECU.
Because of his illness
Easterlin is limited in the jobs he
can perform. He cannot work
outdoors due to the severity of his
allergies.
"I'm allergic to everything
except goat saliva he said,
laughing, "which is okay since I
haven't met any goats
But Easterlin's illness does
not stop him from playing the
guitar, his first love. Easterlin
began playing in the 10th grade,
teaching himself to play both
acoustic and electrical guitar.
"One day I'd like to teach
other kids to play the guitar
as well � maybe give
private
lessons out of
my house
he said.
For now
Easterlin is a
guitarist in a
local band
called
Immunity, and perfects his
trombone playing, his instrument
of concentration.
When Easterlin plays in
smoke-filled clubs he deals with
the problem the same way he deals
with anything connected to his
illness, with a calm and level head.
"I can't go to clubs because of
my asthma, but I still love to play
with my band he said. "If the
smoke from the other members
gets too bad I just go outside and
get some fresh air
Although Easterlin's four-
member rock band was formed
only this past fall, he sees great
things ahead.
When it comes to his
illness, Easterlin takes a positive
attitude and jokes, "Now that it's
got me to college, I hope I grow
out of it

Various scholarships
available
LEE NOLES
FOCUS SECTION WRITER
From local scholarships, such as a
$100 award for math majors, to
national scholarships, such as a
$5,000 award for minority
accounting students, ECU offers a
range of opportunities.
To find out about these
opportunities just visit the financial
aid office, where you can pick up
folders full of information. Or
better yet, browse the World Wide
Web, which allows students a free
search sponsored by the College
Board.
"We encourage students to
explore every avenue of
opportunity for sources and
scholarships said Maryann
Jenkins, assistant director of
student financial aid. Students can
stop by Financial Aid from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m Monday through Friday,
and look through folders that tell
about the scholarships each
department offers. One can find
out how much each scholarship
provides and for how long and
about the requirements by
browsing through the folders. In
the future, one will be able to find
out about university and
departmental scholarships by
clicking on the East Carolina home
page, www.ecu.edufinancial. The
page is now under development.
One can also click on the World
Wide Web and visit different
locations such as
www.rams.comsmsearch.htm and
www.collegenet.commach23.
Both are free searches that can help
you learn more about national
scholarships. To find out about
other web sites visit the financial
aid office.
Students can also ask within
their own departments.
Departmental scholarships range
from $100, such as the John B.
Davis Award for math majors with
an interest in statistics, to $1,000
for the Richard C. Todd
scholarship for full-time
outstanding seniors who are history
majors.
Another source is the Office of
National Fellowships and
Scholarships (NFS), which is part
of the College of Arts and Sciences
and is located in Brewster Hall A-
212. The program, founded in
1996, is geared to helping both
East Carolina graduate and
undergraduate students receive
national scholarships for graduate
programs.
"Anyone who is thinking about
graduate school will benefit from
this program said Dr. Lorraine
check out these web sites for
national scholarships
www. ramscomsmsearch. htm
www. collegenet. commach23
for other sites visit the
financial aid office
Aragon, head of NFS. "Going to
graduate school is a tough job and
my office helps people plan for
getting ready to go into a graduate
program"
The NFS offers a selection of
national scholarships to choose
from. The office also helps prepare
students for graduate school by
writing supporting letters and
teaching students how to write
essays. Scholarships range from
$500 to $20,000 a year, Aragon
said.
The NFS not only offers
information on national
scholarships but also gives free
workshops. Any ECU student
interested in a graduate program
can attend the workshop, held at
the Community Service Building.
The workshops, led by Aragon and
Dr. James Westmoreland of Career
Services, help students choose a
graduate program and a university.
They also teach students how to
write a strong application.
"Students have said that it has
helped them said Aragon, who
has seen 100 students come
through the office in the fall of
1997. However, she warns
students that it is very important to
begin the process of testing and
writing applications at least a year
in advance. If students have further
questions about graduate
scholarships they can go by
Brewster A-212 of call 328-1074
or go by Career Services on Fifth
Street.

because they have more players, it's
the biggest sport, and it has more

the university said Marvin
Mitchell, assistant athletic director.
Some athletes receive a full grant,
which consists of tuition, room,
board and books. An athlete can
also receive a partial scholarship,
which can consist of

More than 300
student
athletes receive
athletic grants
each year.
Even so, East
Carolina's
athletic budget
is one of the
lowest in the
state, said
Athletic Director Mike Hamrick.
The football program offers the
most athletic grants at 85.
"Football has the most grants
Marvin Mitchell
assistant athletic director
full in-state
costs 16,530.
"We don't base a
scholarship on in-
state or out-of-state
status Mitchell
said. "We base it on
the quality of the
athlete both on and
off the field. If we
have two athletes
that are the same
position and ability,
one being in-state
and one out-of-state,
we'll take the in-
state athlete because
it will save us a little
money
Athletic grants play an important
role in the East Carolina athletic
program. "I believe without
� J
scholarships, the athletic program
would be very mediocre Mitchell
said. "It would be more like an
intramural program. We wouldn't
be able to attract star potential
without scholarships
One important fact about
athletic scholarships is that they arc
on a year-to-year basis. "If an
athlete doesn't perform on or
especially in the classroom, he or
she will lose their scholarship
Hamrick said.
The only way athletes can receive
a scholarship for their entire college
education is if they receive a career-
ending injury. "We here at East
Carolina feel an obligation to
continue an athlete's education so
they can become a competent and
successful member of society
Mitchell said.
ECU spent over $2.6 million on athletic grants for the 1997-98 school year. ECU'S athletic budget is
one of the lowest in the state. Athletic scholarships are awarded on a yeer-by-year basis.
HI PHOTO
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association regulates how many
athletic grants can be rewarded and
also regulates academic standards.
For the first two years, athletes must
follow the same academic standards
as all ECU students. If they don't
have a 1.8 grade point average by
fall of their junior year, the athlete
will be ineligible to play. "The
higher NCAA academic standards
help create an all-around athlete
Mitchell said.
Being a student athlete isn't all
fun and games. It takes a lot of
heart and dedication to be
triumphant. "East Carolina's
typical student athlete is an honor
roll student, from North Carolina,
carries an average course load of
fifteen hours, and graduates in four
and one half years Hamrick said.
Amount of money spent on athletic grants this year by each sport

already bagged up and ready to go.
This may not sound like much, but
on those hectic first days of school,
it helps.
Scholarship athletes such as
Holloway receive such benefits to
compensate them for their
dedication and hard work at ECU.
Many athletes on partial
scholarships receive perks as a
reward for their time and effort put
into the school both athletically and
academically.
"It saved me time and money this
semester said Holloway, a junior
on the men's soccer team.
Medical benefits are a rnltfor�
advantage for scholarship athletes
at ECU. The sports medicine
department covers all varsity
sports-related injuries.
"I hurt my knee during a game
last season and fortunately the
school paid for most of my surgery
and all my rehabilitation said
Robert Schwartz, a member of the
men's soccer team.
But if you find yourself envying
athletes who get such perks, think
again. For example, many athletes
do not take 8 a.m. classes because
they have to practice in the
mornings.
"Most of the time I set my alarm
for 5:30 a.m. to make sure I make it
to my mandatory weight training
session at 6 a.m Holloway said.
The average day of an athlete at
ECU is chaotic and includes
practices, classes, schoolwork and
games.
"If you would like to go through
a typical day in the life of a
scholarship athlete, I'd be glad to
show you what it's like said
Marvin Mitchell, assistant athletic
director.
Unlike many athletes, Holloway
didn't come to ECU with a
scholarship to play soccer. He was a
walk-on looking to obtain a
position on a Division I soccer
team. Since Holloway was not
"I hurt my knee
during a game last
season and fortunately
the school paid for
most of my surgery
and all my
rehabilitation,
Robert Schwartz
men s soccer team
recruited by ECU, he had to work
hard to a spot on the team.
Don't be fooled by the
misconception that scholarship
athletes primarily concentrate on
the field of play and not in the the
classroom.
"Here at East Carolina there
is a higher percentage of
student athletes that graduate
as opposed to that of the
general population of the
student body Mitchell said.
All student athletes are
rewarded by the athletic
departments by making the
honor roll. Holloway, who
currently has a GPA of 3.2, is
one of the many athletes who
have been given recognition
for academic performance and
academic talents.
Holloway feels he would not be a
student at ECU if the athletic
department did not help him
financially.

ECU had 14,707 undergraduate
students last fall and 1,126 of them
are definitely making the grade.
These students have spent endless
hours studying and reading, while
some were out partying and
watching television. And it paid off.
They earned a perfect 4.0 grade
point average during the fall
semester.
Claudia McCann of the ECU
Office of Planning and Institutional
Research said the percentage of
students with 4.0 GPAs by class
ranking were:
freshman � 3.3 percent,
sophomore � 4.9 percent, junior �
6.8 percent and senior � 14.1
percent.
Colleen McColl, a freshman
communication major, was part of
Claudia McCann of the ECU Office of
Planning and Institutional Research said
the percentage of students with 4.0 GPAs by
class ranking were:
freshman 3.3 percent
sophomore 4.9 percent
junior 6.8 percent
senior 14.1 percent
those statistics. "It's not something
that I set my mind to and knew I
was going to do; it just happened
McColl said.
The GPA is the ratio between the
numbers of hours attempted and the
number of quality points earned.
That means for every class these
determined 1,126 students took,
they earned the highest possible
quality points.
"I probably study two or three
doesn't have a test the next day.
McColl, who recendy pledged for
Alpha Omicron Pi, said, "Instead of
waiting until the last minute of the
night before a test I study every
afternoon
That way she really learns the
material instead of cramming the
,pight before a test.
Most students feel a 4.0 grade
point average is unattainable and for
some of us it is. But, not for Alecia
hours a day McColl said. That -Page, a senior accounting major;
means she studies even when she V, "I just have to manage my time
and make sure my priorities are
straight. That way I am able to
study and have fun said Page.
Page, a member of Sigma Sigma
Sigma sorority and three honor
fraternities: Beta Gamma Sigma,
Beta Alpha Phi. She was recently
inducted into Phi Kappa Phi.
"Study habits are the key the good
grades and my roommates
