New cancer
equipment
dedicated
Linear accelerator
one-of-a-kind in area
Debbie Neuwirth
staff whiter
The Department of Radiation
Oncology has dedicated new can-
cer equipment The dedication
Jook place June 18 in the Leo W.
Jenkins Cancer Center from 5:30
to 7:00 p.m and all referring
physicians and Medical Center
faculty staff were invited to
attend.
Mary Jenkins led opening
remarks at the ceremony; the
Cancer Center was named after
her husband. Other remarks were
made by Dr. Hyder Arastu, and
Dr. James Hallock, the Dean of
the Medical School. There was
also a benediction led by Chaplain
Ken Turner.
This new equipment will help
to improve care for patients suffer-
ing of cancer in eastern Carolina.
Mary Blick, an administrator for
the department, felt the ceremony
as well as the new equipment was
great.
Jim Knaves, the Clinical
Manager for the Department of
Radiation Oncology, felt it was
hard to describe what this new
equipment can do. The new
equipment differs from the equip-
ment they have had to work with
in the past.
"The department just added $3
million dollars worth of new
equipment, even though some
was replaced Knaves said.
One of the purposes of this new
cancer equipment was that it helps
doctors keep up with the growing
profession, and all that is available.
The equipment included a one-
of-a-kind linear accelerator�the
only one of its kind here in the
area. Also, a radiation system was
added that can help plan the doses
in three dimensions.
"Overall, we can treat patients
with higher doses and get fewer
side effects Knaves said. The

pre-existing, to re-route traffic,
walks are added between the ones
that are heavily used and near in
proximity to each other.

first impression is what will always
be imbedded in your mind; if it has
nice landscape and is clean, it will
receive a positive image Williams
said. "Like someone's home, for
instance. When a home is nice and

Five and one half miles of side-
walks cover east campus alone.
Some are concrete and some are
brick. While next to each other,
they offer a splash of color and
arabesque to ground cover; sepa-
rately they have values of their
own.
Where concrete might require
less labor and last longer, brick
sidewalks, like the one in front of
Wright Circle, are more flexible
when irrigation and electrical lines
are beneath them.
"Brick can be removed without
much effort when a water line or
steam pipe needs repair, and the
same piece can be re-installed
without buying any new materials,
unlike concrete, which takes saw-
ing to remove, and can crack or
break Williams said.
Dr. George Harrell, vice chan-
cellor for Administration and
Finance, said that he wishes peo-
ple would realize the sidewalks are
put in for their benefit and should
be "utilized instead of creating
bare ground paths just to save a
few steps

Archaeology students
search For ruins
Nine boats found near
Castle Island
William LeLiever
staff writer
The Summer Field School in
Maritime History and Underwater
Archaeology plunges to new
depths. The department is contin-
uing its field work off the coast of
Washington. Students involved
will be investigating shipwreck
remains near Castle Island.
Assistant Professor Bradley
Rogers said, the students are doing
a phase two of the ships found near
the island. Phase two involves the
search for, mapping and drawing
the boats. The class has already
found nine ships in only a portion
of the island. Rogers said Castle
Island is an excellent site because
many ships were abandoned off the
coast of this island.
"We found a 90-foot schooner,
small fishing vessels, flats that were
used as barges, others used for con-
struction or transportation, and
even early twentieth century fish-
ing vessels said Frank Contelles,
staff archaeologist.
According to Contelles, the class
expects to find many abandoned
ships on the island.
"This island has been used a
ship graveyard Rogers said.
For now, only a small section of
the island has been mapped.
The archaeology class involved
in this dig is designed to teach stu-
dents how to draw shipwrecks and
to map them underwater. There are
about 12 students in the course and
a few students visiting from other
schools. This class is a part of the
graduate program in the depart-
ment of history.
Rogers said North Carolina has

an important role in maritime histo-
ry because the towns and civiliza-
tions were dependent on the local
water ways for transportation, busi-
nesses, and food. Washington is
great investigating the past
because of its location.
According to Rogers,
Washington was one of the main
seaside towns in North Carolina. It
was established over 150 years ago
for transportation and food.
Landscape
continued from page I
The grounds are vast enough
that they are broken down into four
divisions according to traffic. Each
grounds crew is given a budget and
the flexibility of choosing what to
plant in smaller gardens like
Whichard's corner and the
Ragsdale courtyard. For large areas
work is contracted outside with
landscape architects.
"They (grounds department)
offer diversity in plant material and
landscape design Caldwell said.
"This is what gives us a different
look in the different areas of cam-
pus.
The crew's botanic understand-
ing makes for healthier plants and
slows plants' death rates by choos-
ing vegetation adaptive to the area,
like the Mondo grass in front of
Garrett Hall.
"The Mondo grass is good
ground cover and has taken over,
requiring little upkeep said
Caldwell.
But then there is the lily turf
that borders Tenth Street.
"I hope I live long enough to see
that thing filled in said Caldwell.
"If I do, I'll probably have all my
hair pulled out before it does

"You deserve a break today so says McDonalds, the house of Big Macs, Egg
McMuffins and assorted greasy goods. Apparently, however, ECU administrators
don't agree with Mickey D's sentiment. Like the end ofthe spring semester and
beginning of first summer session, students will not be allowed any sort of break
before the start of the second summer session. The administrators have made a poor
decision.
The scheduling seems most unfair to out-of-state students and other people whose
homes are far from Greenville. Breaks between classes allow these students the time
necessary to travel home and visit with their families and friends. Families are cer-
tainly just as important academics, and it's unfair to deny students this opportunity.
Breaks also allow students time to sort out different things, including their living
arrangements. Moving, as we all know, requires a tremendous amount of planning and
time. Without the extra time, students are unnecessarily pressured and inconve-
nienced.
Also, students simply like the extra time to relax. The ends of sessions, with exams
and other tasks to complete, are particularly stressful on students and faculty alike.
The extra time allows them the opportunity to regroup and to take it easy for awhile.
Many students and faculty members require this time to retain their sanity.
Without a break, it's likely to decrease enthusiasm and increase hostilities on cam-
pus. We're constantly reminded things will be different once we get to the "real
world The real world doesn't have long Christmas vacations and summer vacations.
Things are tough in the real world. You know what though? You also get paid to work
in the real world. Students are paying ECU to attend school, and it seems perfectly
reasonable to expect occasional breaks.
ECU is not totally to blame; it was necessary for the school to add extra days to the
school year as mandated by the North Carolina state legislature. Adding additional
days to the university calendar is, of course, one of the burning issues of our time,
Thanks, politicians.
You must have not rested until you got that one passed.
OPINION

KLEINSCHMIT
Online degrees not viable
how many of us, as the
future employers and fastness
leaders of this country, would
be confident with the abilities
of an employee who we hired,
thinking that they had com-
pleted a difficult degree pro-
gram, only to find out that
they got their degree online?
One of the things I have stumbled
upon lately on the internet is that
there are fully accredited universi-
ties that offer complete degree pro-
grams online. I personally find it
appalling that a person can earn a
master's of science degree in engi-
neering from Purdue of a bachelor
of science in nursing from Cal State
without even stepping foot on cam-
pus. It's difficult even to be accept-
ed into one of these programs at
resident universities, which usually
have extensive internships to give
students practical experience and
test their skill and resolve.
The first problem I have with
this system is that students will
have no opportunity to be tested
fairly in a real-world environment.
The programs work like the old
correspondence course program.
Students are sent their course man-
uals and tests but complete their
work online. How can you truly test
someone when every test is open
book? This definitely gives them
an unfair advantage over us regular
students who burn the midnight oil
frequently to prepare for tough
exams.
So, how many of us, as the future
employers and business leaders of
this country, would be confident
with the abilities of an employee
who we hired, thinking that they
had completed a difficult degree
program, only to find out that they
got their degree online? Imagine
you got in a car crash and you
arrived in the emergency room and
found out that yqjir nurse was
unable to perform certain lifesaving
tasks because they had skimmed
over a chapter. Imagine your minis-
ter got his PhD in theology (yes, it's
available) from an online university.
How would you feel about being
engaged in a lawsuit with an attor-
ney who got his law degree (accred-
ited) online? It seems that in their
haste, these universities forgot one
thing: morality.
Yes, by skipping the fundamen-
tals of college life, they have forgot-
ten that practical experience is the
most important part of learning. I
never could change the oil in my
truck until a friend showed me how,
and folks, that isn't even a hard
thing to do! So why would a presti-
gious university, such as Duke, put
their good name on such a risky
undertaking? Money.
That's right. Money. Duke
charges its students $13,000 a year
for the online master of business
administration program. And you
thought your tuition was high!
Other universities entice students
with claims such as being able to
earn a bachelor's degree in as little
as four months, although they say
this is hard to do, but possible. One
can also complete a master's degree
without having a bachelor's degree.
I'm no Doogie Houser, but some-
thing is screwy here. If it was that
easy, then why isn't everybody
doing it? Because a 17- or 18-year-
old with a degree would be laughed
out of every job interview, that's
why.
I agree with the opinions of
many students with whom I have
talked about this subject. These
courses should supplement a
degree program, not replace it.
Personally I feel that these online
degrees are a joke. Heck, if all my
tests could have been open book, I
would have aced French and calcu-
lus.

Watch out for burglars, each other
we as potential victims
need to watch our asses �
and each others. Because peo-
ple will take your stuff. And
then laugh at you as they run
away down the street with it
Okay, I know that most of those
involved in burglary are not very
bright. If they had two brain cells to
rub together, they would be work-
ing as crack dealers or pimps or
something such as that, which
would bring greater profit with less
risk. Stealing from college students
� especially butt-poor ones such as
myself � will not be profitable
enough to allow them to retire at 40.
Why do they continue to break into
my pathetic shack and take the few
petty items that I own?
If only they, whoever they are,
were literate, perhaps I could reach
them through this column. If you
are literate and know my robbers,
please tell them not to come back. I
don't really have anything left.
They got my Wal-Mart CD play-
er (What the hell were they think-
ing? They could get their own for
$20, for god's sake) and they took
with it my entire sense of security. I
can buy a new CD player. It was
pretty cheap. But Wal-Mart doesn't
carry an anti-scared potion that I
can spray around my room before I
go to bed at night. I checked.
I realize that by living in a huge
city like New York or LA, or even a
smaller city like Greenville, I put
myself at risk for break-ins, attacks,
being eaten by gnomes while walk-
ing home from class, having my
soul sold to the devil by my closest
friends for a Little Debbie's snack
cake, and all sorts of nasty things.
Why don't these things ever hap-
pen out in the sticks?
The house I grew up in was
down a dirt road in the middle of
the woods. Now you would think
that scary, mean people would be
more likely to conduct their ugly
business somewhere like that,
where it takes the police three days
to respond to a call and you can't
escape because of all the bears and
swamps surrounding your yard.
This would be profitable � and
perhaps even fun � for the
demented psycho who broke into
my house. This is where no one can
hear you scream and your neighbors
are too busy committing incest to
stop by and interrupt a burglary in
progress. But in the entire 18 years
that I lived there, no one so much as
jiggled the doorknob. Probably
because no one got past the moun-
tain lions, but that's not the point.
I just wonder what it is about a
city (if G-ville really qualifies as
such) that draws the meanies.
Maybe it's the crack. Or maybe it's
the cultural opportunities. You
know, if my CD player was hocked
to buy tickets to the ballet, I would
really be OK with it. But I doubt it.
Maybe there is an annual bur-
glar's convention held at the
Ramada at which they discuss the
best places in the US to live and
work, and they live in the city just
so they can have a sense of profes-
sional security. They come in
groups. Maybe there is a Burglar's
Union. They have to reach a certain
quota of houses per month � that's
why they break into places like
mine that don't even look like they
contain anything good. If this is
really the case, then next time they
can just ring the doorbell and I'll
give them the CD player. Well, not
mine � I'll give them my room-
mate's � but hey, it's a CD player.
I'm saying that we as potential
victims need to watch our asses �
and each other's. Because people
will take your stuff. And then laugh
at you as they run away down the
street with it. But if there is a posse
of us non-stealing folk, then one of
us can trip the little turd and hog-tie
him, then put him up on a pole on
the Town Commons as an example
to the Burglar's Union. Wonder if
they get worker's comp for some-
thing like that?
LETTER
to the editor
Don't criticize Christians for faith
This letter is in response to the
column "Chruch or State � Not
both published in the June 17
edition of The East Carolinian.
How can someone say they,
have no problems with religion"
and then turn around and attack
Christianity in a dogmatic way? As
a Christian, I do have a problem
with this and find it to be a contra-
diction; don't you?
Why are Christians always
being ridiculed for their faith?
What if Christians are right?
What if there is a Heaven and a
Hell and if you don't accept Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Savior you
will not go to Heaven? For those of
you read this, the choice is up to
you. You can believe the worldly
view which makes one religion as
good as another or you can believe
that Jesus Christ came to this earth
and died on a cross for your sins;
ask Christ to forgive you of your
sins and ask Him to be your savior.
God loves you; that is why He sent
His only Son to die just for you, so
that you could have eternal life
with Him! No matter what you
have done in the past, God will
forgive you and you can be saved.
If Christians are wrong, then
they (Christians) have lived good
righteous lives and have saved
themselves a lot of problems and
heartache which sin (lying, cheat-
ing, adultery, stealing, murder, etc)
causes. It's a winwin situation.
In closing I would like to pose
this question: If you died right
now, where would you spend eter-
nity? Why not check out some
Christian organizations on campus
instead of doing the "downtown"
thing? Who knows? You just might
get saved!

PHOTO COURTESY Of
SUMMER THEATRE
Rediscover the spirit of the Fabulous '40s with the ECU
Summer Theater's 1998 season. You'll also be able to wit-
ness some of the acting talent that has emerged from
ECU.
World War II powered enormous industrial and scien-
tific energy during the 1940s that would change the course
of history. At the same time, the war unleashed amazing
creative energy throughout the United States. This cre-
ativity sparked one of the most glorious ages of Broadway
theater history. This summer,
blast into the past with Rodgers
and Hammerstein's Oklahoma
Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit and
Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar
Named Desire.
In March of 1943, Oklahoma!
burst onto the Broadway scene
and took the American theatre
going public by storm. Every day
for more than five years, people
waited in lines for hours in search
of tickets to the acclaimed show.
Oklahoma! has become one of the
most beloved and popular musi-
cals in history. It is a classic of the
theatre, treating audiences to a
genuine piece of Americana.
This ground-breaking production combined song and
dance, plot and characterization in a way never seen
before. The show revolutionized the musical; song and
dance now contribute to the overall story. Today, the
songs of Oklahoma! are showbiz
standards, and its production
numbers are unforgettable. Don't
miss this classic of American theater.
Oklahoma! is here now and runs thorough
June 27.
The second show of the season is Noel
Coward's Blithe Spirit. It is the uproarious tale
of a novelist and his second wife haunted by
the spirit of his first wife. Definitely not a
benevolent spirit, she "translates" his current
wife into a ghost as well. The novelist is
unable to escape the influence of either one of
his ghostly wives, the perfect framework for a
farcical comedy.
Blithe Spirit first opened in 1941, but has
returned from beyond an appearance July 7-
11.
The final Broadway blockbuster this
summer is Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar
Named Desire. Winner of many awards
including the Pulitzer Prize, this show
opened in post-war 1947 and never played
to an empty seat during its first run.
Captivating theatergoers past and present, it
is the powerful story of Blanche Dubois's
struggle to survive in her reality. Stanley
Kowalski, her brother-in-law, refuses to live
in anything but brutal honesty. These two
strong characters cannot cannot coexist in a
two-room apartment. See who wins on July
21-25.
Season tickets are $45, $55 or $65 depending on your seating preference,
and entitle the holder to one reserved seat ticket per show. All shows are at 8
p.m with the exception of a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturdays (in addition to the
8 p.m. showing). Purchase tickets by phone at328-6829 or328-1726 oral the
box office in the lobby ofMcGinnis Theatre.

For most college students, the years spent at
school, in limbo between home and the real
world, are a perfect opportunity to learn
about money.
Scraping together quarters for laundry, liv-
ing for weeks on bread, peanut butter and
Ramen noodles and working night shifts at
demeaning fast-food jobs are what it's all
about.
This is all part of the lean-and-mean
American work ethic,
and students have sur-
vived in this way for
decades. They learn
just what their parents
hope they will: the
value of money and
the importance of
independence and
personal responsibili-
ty-
Or, at least, they used
to learn about respon-
sibility. Modern stu-
dents are embracing
the "buy now, pay later" concept with an
enthusiasm that they may well regret after
graduation.
Easily-obtained credit cards are popular
scapegoats for students who have been
lulled into debts of thousands of dollars; it's
easy to see how recklessly flashing a credit
card throughout your freshman year can
have you pulling yourself painfully out of
the hole even after graduation.
But student loans are treated with much less
consideration. Students forget that loans
from various institutions are not free money;
"Actually, I didn't spend any
of the loan on school I
guess a lot of it went to,
probably, downtown
- George Fedynskyj
"Booh, food, rent I'm
always spending it on art
supplies
- Carl Neilson
they are to be spent judi-
ciously and repaid after graduation.
ECU students can get money, through the
government-subsidized
Stafford loan system, from a
number of lenders including
several banks.
The lenders can charge inter-
est (up to 8.25 percent) during
the semester or starting six
months after the student ceas-
es to attend school full-time.
Subsidized loans are interest-
free while a student is in
school, but students with
unsubsidized loans incur inter-
est charges even while in
school.
ECU student Carl Neilson
explained how his loan works:
"They send the
money to the
school and then
you get the remain-
ing amount
The excess, which is the check
that a student receives from the
school after tuition has been cov-
ered, can be spent on whatever
the student deems necessary.
A few wild stories have been
told of loan money spent on
brand new cars or cosmetic
surgery, but these are exceptions
to the rules. Loans weren't
meant to be frittered away as carelessly as
birthday spending money, but even little
luxuries can add up quickly.
Most students spend their extra money on
CDs, travel, weekends downtown, restau-
rants, rent and other things that seem neces-
sary at the time.
"I paid a couple of credit card bills said
Keifa Moore.
Rondica Brown said, "I usually use the
money to pay my bills I go shopping, go

card bills

"You've got to
budget yourself pretty well said Neilson,
who also supports himself by working at
The Percolator.
Brown feels the same
way. "I usually try to
budget it out over the
semester she said.
But not even careful
budgeting can erase
the fact that these
students will gradu-
ate with sizable
debts to pay back to
their lenders.
Students often rely on
the money left over
from tuition as a steady
source of income, opt-
ing not to find jobs to
help alleviate some of
the debt.
These students find
themselves graduating
with debts of up to
$15,000 or more, not including the interest
that they will be required to start paying six
months afterward.
Yet year after year, the number of students
applying for Stafford loans remains substan-
tial.
Karen Barbee, associate director of finan-
cial aid, attributes the growth in student
debt to an increase in the freedom to bor-
row.
In the '90s, students are seen by lenders as
reliable adults from whom they can extract
plenty of interest. But, in truth, many stu-
dents are too naive to avoid debt until it's
too late.
For students especially, taking financial
responsibility means more than securing a
loan and paying interest; it also includes tak
ing steps to ensure financial freedom after
graduation.

You ever listened to one of those
all-night trucker radio stations on
AM? The lost highway isn't as
lonesome when you're listening to
country classics spun by a grizzled,
irreverent old DJ. Eventually,
though, the station fades out and
it's just you again � without Hank,
Webb and Mr. DJ. To prevent this
from happening in the future, go
out immediately and secure your-
self any sort of recorded material
by the Drive-By Truckers.
The Athens, Ga. band released
their debut album, Gangstabilly,
this spring on Soul Dump Records,
the label run by vocalistguitarist
Patterson Hood. Gangstabilly lets
Hood, guitarist Mike Cooley,

least three-fourths
of your senses. A

X-Files heroes figfit the
future
Mark Brett
senior writer
The truth is out there.
This is the sentiment, hopeful yet some-
how sinister, on which the cult favorite
television series The X-Files is based. It's a
fitting motto for a series about one man's
earnest belief in what most could only call a
paranoid fantasy: the existence, and gov-
ernmental cover-up, of UFOs.
The fact that you probably already know
all this, and that this odd little cult phe-
nomenon has become a
mainstream success, is a
neat quirk of modern
American culture. That
The X-Files has now
spawned a by-all-reports
successful feature film is
nothing short of astound-
ing.
All of which brings us,
as you've no doubt
already guessed, to X-
Files: Fight the Future, the
aforementioned X-Files
movie. Picking up where
the show's latest season
(its fifth) left off, Fight the Future drops
viewers right into the middle of a compli-
cated web of plots.
There's this black oil stuff, see, that's
really some kind of alien life form that
creeps into people's orifices and takes con-
trol of their minds. And there's this mili-
taryindustrial conspiracy to aid the aliens
and cover up their existence.
And our heroes, FBI
agents Fox Mulder (David
Duchovny) and Dana Scully
(Gillian Anderson), have
spent the last five years get-
ting closer and closer to the
truth of all this through a
series of blinds, half-truths,
alien assassins, assorted
homunculi and various and
sundry threats to their lives
and careers.
Still with me? If you're an
X-Files fan, I'm sure you are.
Devotees of the show can
quote all this stuff chapter and verse. But
never fear. If you're not among the show's
legion of fans, Fight the Future does an
impressive job of bringing you up to snuff
on what has gone before.
And it manages to do it without boring
the rabid fans to death. A scene in which a
drunken Mulder relates his life story to a
bartender could have been an exercise in
tedium to fans. But instead, it comes off as
a funny and revealing look at just how para-
noid Mulder must seem to those around
him.
Much of the movie is sharp in this way.
The banter between Mulder and Scully is
snappy. The performances from series stars
Duchovny and Anderson are among their
best to date. The scares are genuinely
shocking. The special effects are top-notch
and appropriately goopy. The script is sub-
tle, and it doesn't slow down for those who
aren't paying attention. All in all, it's good
old-fashioned X-Files fun, moody and styl-
ish and confoundingly complex.
If I seem to be avoiding plot details,
that's because I am. Half the fun here is in
the discovery of it all, and far be it from me
to blow any of the revelations.
For fans, I'll just say this. We don't learn
much in the way of brand new secrets, but
many previously-known facts are expanded
upon or changed. There may be a new sta-
tus quo on the series in the fall, however, as
some major alliances are shaken up. The
much-publicized nude scenes have been
blown all out of proportion (Duchovny's
butt shot didn't even make it into the final
cut). And, yes, there is a romantic moment
between our heroes, but it's not exactly
what you might think.
So by all means, see X-Files: Fight the
Future. It's an intelligent and exciting sci-
ence fiction film, and those don't come
along too often. Some might complain that
it's really just a big-budget episode of the
TV show, but come on. What did you
expect, really?
And, if you want an added bonus, also
check out the soundtrack CD and find the
hidden bonus track that explains the whole
conspiracy, beginning to end. It reveals a
few secrets that the movie never quite
spells out, and-makes me look forward to
the fall season even more. At the risk of
turning cheese-ball here at the end, the
truth is in there

through his job as sound man at
Athens' High Hat Music Club.
Minus mandolin player Barry
Sell, the five Truckers went into a
local studio to record Gangstabilly,

The Eait Carolinian
Fans
deserve
all stars
Travis Barkley
sports editor
On July 7, Major League Baseball
will hold its annual All-Star game at
Coors Field (Denver), home of the
Colorado Rockies.
Many fans, myself included,
have been anxiously awaiting the
game as well as the home run hit-
ting contest the day before. Due to
the thin air in Denver, baseballs
travel a lot farther in Coors than
they do at most stadiums. This
year's home run derby could be one
of the greatest shows of power in
baseball history. Today's players are
bigger and stronger than ever
before. The potential for tape mea-
sured homers is very high. It may
be a chance to see some of the
longest home runs that will ever be
hit.
However, not everybody is excit-
ed about this potential home run
barrage.
Two of the best all-around play-
ers may be bowing out. Barry Bonds
and Ken Griffey Jr. said recently
that they would rather not partici-
pate in the home run derby. Both
say that they need the rest and
don't want the media or fan frenzy
of the contest.
Bonds says that he needs to rest
his ailing back. If this is true, then
why play in the actual game the
next day? If he is hurting that badly,
then he should do the fans a favor
and stay in San Francisco. While
Bonds is a great player and would
add a lot to the derby, he probably
won't be missed. There are plenty
of other deserving sluggers in the
National League who would be
glad to compete.
The All-Star break is a great
opportunity for the players to
make amends to the fans.
Griffey cites concerns about hav-
ing to "change his swing" to be in
the contest. This is an outrageous
claim when you consider that
Griffey hit 56 home runs last year,
one of the highest totals in history.
Griffey is a home run hitter, what
will he have to change? The derby
is the equivalent to a couple of extra
rounds of batting practice. The only
difference is that it will be televised
and someone will be keeping score.
While this kind of behavior
might be expected from Bonds,
who has a reputation of being
unfriendly towards fans, it is a bit of
a shock coming from Griffey.
Griffey is one of, if not the most
popular players in the game.
His refusal to participate is the
latest insult to baseball fans every-
where.
Fans are just now starting to
come back to baseball after the
1994 strike.
The All-Star break is a great
opportunity for the players to make
amends to the fans. Something as
simple as a home run hitting contest
could go a long way towards fans
forgiving the players for the strike.
With sluggers like Mark
McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Juan
Gonzalez, the contest will still be
exciting.
It's too bad that two of the best
players in the sport won't be partic-
ipating.
Jordan Golf Classic
Comes to Greenville

House receives funds
Patrick Giovinazzo
staff writer
Greenville is about to, once again,
become the host of a national
celebrity event. The Michael
Jordan Celebrity Golf Classic will
begin next Friday, June 26, at the
Greenville Country Club with the
Celebrity Skins Game. This tour-
nament began back in 1984 as the
Eastern Carolina Celebrity Golf
Classic.
The objective of the event has
always been to raise money for the
Greenville Ronald McDonald
House. Michael Jordan made his
first appearance here in 1985,
while he was still playing for the
North Carolina Tar Heels. Then,
in 1988 Jordan donated $20,000
while serving as honorary chair-
man. A year later, the tournament
was renamed. Since then, the
MJCGC has been redesigned to
benefit all four McDonald Houses
in North Carolina.
This year's tournament should
prove to be particularly exciting.
For the first time, the event will
include a Celebrity Skins Game.
This will involve an interesting
format. Jordan will be playing
against three other surprise
celebrity golfers. Each hole will
have its own cash prize, called a
"skin and whoever wins a hole
receives the cash. A tie on any hole
pushes the cash prize to the next
one, and the money will just keep
accumulating until someone wins.
Half of all the money won will be
donated to a charity of the celebri-
ty's choice and the rest will go to
the Ronald McDonald Houses of
North Carolina.
The golf tournament itself will
be played Saturday and Sunday,
the 27th and 28th. Half of the
players and celebrities will tee off
on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and the
other half will start Sunday at 9:00
a.m. Spectators will be able to pur-
chase one ticket to attend both
days. A new highlight of the event
will be a "best-ball" format. This
will allow each player to hit their
own ball from the tee to the green
rather than switching off between
teammates.
The fourth annual Celebrity
Jam will add more excitement to
the weekend. This year's Jam will
highlight the country, pop and
contemporary Christian stylings of
Gary Chapman, the host of TNN's
Prime Time Country and The CCM
Countdown. The concert, Friday at
8 p.m will be held in the Wright
Auditorium on the ECU campus.
Tickets for the Celebrity Jam are
on sale now at the ECU Central-
Ticket Office.
Right before the concert at 5:00
p.m the Dutch Boy Painting
from Guiding Light prepares to putt.

Party will be held at Champagne's,
located the Greenville Hilton.
This is a special occasion for
Ronald McDonald I louse kids and
patients.
"You can see the faces of the
children light up as they meet
their favorite celebrities said Bill
Bowen, tournament chairman.
"You know what this event means
to them. This is a day for smiles
and laughter that they won't soon
forget
The kids arc teamed up with
celebrities to paint their own ver-
sion of "The House That Love
Built All of the paintings are
then autographed by both
painters, framed and sold at the
Celebrity Auction on Saturday.
So who will be attending this
year's tournament? Quite a wide
range of celebrities. Stephen
Baldwin, John Daly of Real-TV,
Patrick Duffy, Bob Eubanks,
Steve Guttenberg, Jeremy
London, Tim Meadows and
Damon Wayans will be a few of
the actors involved. From the

STAFF WRITER
Imagine laboring to breathe the
thin oxygen at 13,000 feet above
sea level. Waking at the crack of
dawn and hauling a sore body and
a heavy backpack up a hostile
mountainside. Sleeping on the
frozen ground, the temperature in
the low teens and it's late May.
Sometimes vomiting before bed-

dehydration take their dreadful
toll. Would this image fit the aver-

experience"? It does for the seven
members of the East Carolina
Recreational Service's Adventure
Program who undertook a three
week mountain climbing excur-
sion to the Rocky Mountain
National Park in Colorado and the
Grand Tetons in Wyoming.
"It (the climb) was indescrib-
able Kyle England, a student
employee at the ECU Adventure
Program said. "You can see every-
thing. Once you get up there, you
just kind of look around. You real-
ize it's a gigantic accomplish-
ment
England and five other student
staffers, along with adviser John
Brown, left Greenville on May 17
and spent the first five days climb-
ing peaks such as Tailor Glacier
and the 14,300 feet Longs Peak in
the Rocky Mountain National
Park. The next six days were
spent in the Grand Tetons, where
the group scaled the Cascade
Canyon. They returned to
Colorado for the final days of the
trip.
Another student, Matt Smith,
commented on the effects of the
altitude and the demanding physi-
cal aspect. "Since we're all in pret-
ty good shape and we're experi-
enced, it never got too bad Smith
said. "The altitude hits different
people in different ways
A testament to Smith's observa-
tions was when Brown, the most
experienced and in-shape of the
group became nauseated during
the climb. The next night it was
Smith and England vomiting
because of the thin air and dehy-
dration. To keep these ailments to
a minimum, the group called upon
their experience in mountain
climbing and backpacking.
"We were really efficient
England explained. "For the most
part we felt no effects from the alti-
tude, except for Summerridge,
when we started to vomit
"We kept really good pace
Smith said. If we moved faster or
had heavier packs, it would have
been worse
When the sun rose above the
peaks like a multi-hued explosion
of light, however, the climbers
were ready, willing and able.
The trip served as a learning

experience as well, for the group of
student staff members who belong
to a club called Natural Extremes.
The club raised the money for the
trip and the Adventure Program
supplied most of the gear and the
supervision.
The site was not chosen ran-
domly, Brown said.
"These mountains offered all
kinds of obstacles and required
many skills Brown said. "Snow,
ice, backpacking, food preparation,
altitude. Not the least of which
were self-confidence and personal
achievement
"It's cold and you're by your-
self England said. "Some people
backed off of the same climb, but
we didn't
Smith remarked on the risks
and consequences of the climbs
when he said, "It takes all your
strength and dedication. It's all
you. You can either quit or go on,
but if you screw up, you can die
Dire conditions, indeed, but
without a doubt remarkable ones.

Prop 62
allows
athletes
to work
Players may earn
extra money
Jim P ii v. i. p s
STAFF WRITER
I
Proposition 62 is a new NCAA rule
that allows athletes to have jobs
and earn money in addition to
what they're allowed from their
scholarships. Various questions
have arisen concerning how ECU
and its athletes will handle these
new regulations when it goes into
effect August 1.
"We have not really fine tuned
the paperwork yet said Rosie
Thompson, director of compliance
for ECU.
Full grant scholarship athletes
at ECU before Proposition 62
were unable to hold jobs of their
own to earn extra cash. Already
they have their books, tuition,
fees, and room and board paid for
them.
Under Proposition 62 athletes
will be able to earn as much as
$2,000 during a school year.
"We will monitor the actual
employment of the athletes and
any outside jobs that are given to
them Thompson said. "The
employer will sign a document
agreeing to pay the athlete for
work done
With employers signing this
document, it prohibits any unfair
or large sum payments to athletes.

"Every year we are thrilled and
honored that so many well-known
celebrities want to donate their
time to come to Greenville and
support the North Carolina
Ronald McDonald Houses
Tournament Director Pam
Crocker said. A total of 50 celebri-
ties will team up this year to help
raise funds for the North Carolina
Ronald McDonald Houses.
With all this action going on
right here in Greenville, few will
want to miss out. The skins game
isn't open to the public, but two
day tickets to Brook Valley can be
purchased at $10 for adults, $5 for
kids six to 12 and kids under age
six get in free. Tickets can be
bought on event days at a parking
facility that will be opened at
Minges Coliseum. Shuttle buses
will run throughout both days to
transport ticket-holders to and
from Brook Valley.
This is the last year of Brook
Valley's six-year contract with the
Michael Jordan Golf Tournament.
As of now, Brook Valley is unsure
of whether the tournament will
return there or not.
"I don't know if they are inter-
ested to renew the contract
Brook Valley General Manager
Armando Pinto said. "We will find
that out after the tournament this
year
While this might leave some
fans and supporters of the tourna-
ment worried, there is apparently
no need. A representative of
Faulkner & Faulkner Associates
Advertising, the company that
organizes and maintains the event,
has said, "It will not leave
Greenville. Whether it be at Brook
Valley or not, it will not leave
Greenville
Everybody wants an autograph,
so remember to be patient and
courteous. TheMichael Jordan
Celebrity Golf Classic could possi-
bly bring as much joy to the city of
Greenville as it will to the hun-
dreds of young children that will
.delight in this experience and
benefit from its proceeds.

"I think Proposition 62 is in the
best interest of the athlete that is
denied the opportunities that
other students have because they
are . on a full scholarship
�aaaawiaawaaM
Thompson said.
Opponents of Proposition 62
have a different view. They ques-
tion where the athletes are going
to find time to work during the
school year. They say that it leaves
the door open for athletes to
accept "bogus" jobs from boosters
that don't require a lot of work and
pay outrageous amounts.
Although, it appears that the feel-
ing for Proposition 62 is a positive
one in Pirate Country. The view is
that it gives the athletes what they
were denied before and permits'
them to extend their responsibili-
ties beyond the demands of acade-
mics, practice and games.
When asked how she felt over-
all about Proposition 62,
Thompson stated, "It's a good
thing
