Trustees get
pouring bids
Exclusive soft drink
rigits still undecided
TK Jones
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The bids are in, but the battle is
not yet over.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, cur-
rently sold together on campus, are
seeking exclusive rights to sell
their products noncompetitively,
offering bids to achieve the
monopoly.
Pepsi offered $7 million while
Coke offered $3.93 million to have
their products alone promoted on
campus for a 10-year period.
Though the figures vary greatly,
they do not suggest an obvious
winner. While Pepsi gave only one
bid, that for the 10-year contract,
Coke offered three additional bids
under shorter contracts.
1 The evaluations committee
determined the net present value
of each drink, finding Pepsi's mon-
etary net value is $5.8 million, and
Coke at $2.7 million.
"In terms of net value only,
Pepsi has the more attractive
offer said Layton Getisinger,
associate vice chancellor of admin-
istration and finance.
"Entering into an exclusive
arrangement is something the
board has yet to decide
Getsinger said.
But, if the board decides to
have an exclusive soft drink served
on campus and at university func-
tions, then ECU will not only be
the first in the UNC system, but
the first school in the state to have
this sort of contract.
The board of trustees will
decide the stipulations of arrange-
ments with either company after
they have voted on whether to
accept either of the offers in their
July 17 meeting. The university
has the option of rejecting both the
proposals.
One challenging factor for the
committee is to determine how
much of the bids represents funds
above and beyond what the uni-
versity would receive from the
combined current soft drink con-
tracts. Currently soft drinks are
available in dining halls, snack
bars, athletic events and vending
machines.
Though it might sound unusual
for only one company to hold
exclusive control over an area, it
isn't unheard of. Exclusive rights
are also contracted out in dining
services and housekeeping.
While it is still undecided as to
what to use the proceeds for, uni-
versity officials have suggested
earmarking it for academic and
athletic scholarships.

Students attending both summer school
sessions during the '98 school year are in

break students were given to recuperate
from the first summer session.
In 1997 summer session terms ran
from May 20 to June 24 and July 1 to

terms run from May 19 to June 23 and
June 25 to July 31.
Breaks in between summer sessions

Year 2000 brings anticipated computer
problems to university systems
Information technology systems
must be replaced
Debbie Neuwirth
STAFF WRITER
New Year's Eve 1999 will usher in a new mille-
nium as well as a host of computer problems
anticipated to affect everything from elevators
to telephone systems on campus.
Don Dunlap of Computer Information
Systems said ECU is in good shape compared to
other universities in solving the computer prob-
lems. Years ago computer memory was very
expensive, and when used for programming,
years and dates were abbreviated. As a result,
when the years 2000 and 2001 come around,
mainframes will be confused and the computers
will not know how to read them.
In 1993 and 1994, Computer Information
Services (CIS) redid the student systems. This
includes the registrative admissions and finan-
cial aid. Few problems are expected in these
areas because they have been brought to atten-
tion early on. However, information technolo-
gy, such as computers and telephone systems,
operate by computer chips in the hardware
which will need to be replaced.
"There are 50 months left of programming
effort Dunlap said.
Everything will be done in time, Dunlap
said. He added that personal computers are the
main problem now. This problem can be reme-
died by checking the software for these databas-
es. Through much work and coordination, per-
sonal computers will be worked on from now
through January, and mainframes by the end of
the year.
Richard Kerns, assistant dean for computer
services in the School of Business, said because
the efforts to fix the problem started in 1994,
that led off to a good start.
"It is unpredictable to think we have covered
everything Kerns said.
Computer equipment is very expensive, but
the turnover rate is very fast. Computer
Services and CIS are spreading their help to the
entire university to fix the computer problems.

Incumbent
1. ECU received a cutback of $1.2
million, the second highest cutback out-
side of Chapel Hill. Why do you think
ECU has been shortchanged in the
UNC-sys tern's ads?
I am nbt certain, but I am going
to find but. ECU has always been
on the short end of the stick, but I
will continue to fight for East
Carolina and this region to make
sure we receive our share.
2. Do you foresee any money allo-
rdterl for road expansion in Pitt
County?
Yes. Pitt County is a growing
area with a vibrant economy. We
have a high quality of life which is
making the Greenville area an
attractive place to raise a family,
(toad money will come.
3. What can you do to bring in new
industry?
Continue to work on legislation
that will enhance our children's
education. We must make certain
our children will be able to com-
pete in the global economy of the
21st century. We must also better
train and educate our work force so
that we will attract good, high pay-
ing, high-tech jobs. In addition,
government should get out of the
way and let the free market flour-
ish.
4. How do you feel about the
Legislature's decision regarding death
row?
The bill did away with a death
row inmate's choice between
death by gas or by lethal injection.
Now, lethal injection is the only
option. We did away with cyanide
gas because of safety reasons for
prison medical staff.
5. How does the delay in candidate
choice for the state House affect your
campaign?
None whatsoever. My cam-
paigning will be the same regard-
less of my opponent. I am the con-
servative, pro-family, less govern-
ment candidate.
6. What can be done with the
Global TransPark now that it has lost
Federal Express?
The loss of Federal Express to
the Triad was not good news. We
will continue to fight for the
TransPark. I am not convinced
that it is time to give up on the
Global TransPark.

I. ECU received a cutback of $1.2
million, the second highest cutback out-
side of Chapel Hill. Why do you think
ECU has been shortchanged in the
UNC-sys tern's cuts?
My husband and I are both
graduates of ECU, and we have a
son who is a senior there. I will
work vigorously to increase alloca-
tions for ECU in the future.
2. Do you foresee any money allo-
cated for road expansion in Pitt
County?
Yes. When I am elected to the
Legislature, I will work with the
leadership in the General
Assembly and the governor to see
that Pitt County gets its fair share
of the allocation of funds.
3. What can you do to bring in new
industry?
Money magazine recently
ranked Greenville as one of the
top 15 small southern cities to live
in. Using criteria such as econom-
ics, education and housing,
Greenville ranked in the top 8 per-
cent for its forecasted job growth
to 2002. I will strongly support any
efforts
to encourage industrial growth
in eastern North Carolina.
4. How do you feel about the
Legislature's decision regarding death
row?
The House voted 99-6 on June
9 to make lethal injection the only
option available for inmates on
death row. It is predicted that the
Senate will pass the bill also.
5. How does the delay in candidate
choice for the state House affect your
campaign?
The only way it affects my cam-
paign is perhaps in name recogni-
tion, because my name was not on
the ballot during the primary.
The campaign is fully opera-
tional, and I am excited about
being the Democratic nominee for
the 9th District state house seat.
6. What can be done with the
Global TransPark now that it has lost
Federal Express?
I was disappointed that
FEDEX did not choose Kinston
for its new operation; however, I
still believe that the TransPark is a
valuable idea. There will be other
opportunities. We should be
patient, and we should be realistic.
"Ring around tree" causes problem
Lackofass
stumps experts
TK Jones
ASSISTANT KtWS EDITOR
The campus landscape has a prob-
lem: ring around the tree.
There is a lack of grass growing
around the base of many trees'on
catfrjiuSt Whether the problem
sterfts from lack of water or lack of
sunlight is a highly debated topic.
The biology department and
grounds department butt heads
over the issue of why grass under
the trees on the mail has a shorter
life span than grass removed of
- trees, and what to do about it
. "My jjuess is it's more bf a light
� jftottlcm than water said Vincent
Heflis, biology: professor. "The
, grass is shaded out because of the
coverage mature trees can have
Bellis said there are three or four
ground covers that can thicken out
in shaded areas, but they cost more
than' the grounds department's
purse can afford. .
According to Doug Caldwell,
manager of the grounds depart-
ment, it's rhore a lack of water
rather than sunlight because of
Whether it be lack of sunlight or lack of water, campus trees appear bare around the roots and many disagree on the solution.

trees' root absorption.
'The irrigation system for the
mall is about seven weeks old. We
need to give it a chance, at least a
year, before we see the grass fill
in Caldwell said. "Grass will get
enough peripheral sunlight by our
limbing trees up several feet
So far as choosing a grass that
grows well in the area, Caldwell
says he leans toward the fescue
grass he plants throughout the cam-
pus because of its ability to combat
the heat and the low pH balance in
soil.
Though the grounds depart-
ment and the biology department
debate whether the answer to pro-
mote grass growth is water or light,
they agree on its number one killer

Lawmakers press for
sexual harassment law
RALEIGH (AP) For decades it
has been the subject of countless
court battles and headlines, yet
nowhere in North Carolina law can
be found the words "sexual harass-
ment
State lawmakers have vowed to
change that this year after the
State Personnel Commission ruled
it could not help a former state
employee despite evidence sexual
harassment by her supervisor had
created "a hostile work environ-
ment
Even so, lawmakers disagree
over how state law currently
addresses the complicated issue of
sexual harassment and what
changes are needed. Equally
uncertain is whether the push to
clarify the law will become lost in a
partisan political struggle.
"I just saw this as a nonpartisan
issue that we needed to correct
said Rep. Leo Daughtry, R-
Johnston, who has sponsored a
plan to rewrite state law to clearly
prohibit sexual harassment of state
employees. "Both the Democrats
and the Republicans worked
together to find a way to swiftly
address it
Still, the plan by Daughtry, a
likely Republican gubernatorial
hopeful in 2000, has become a
political football despite assur-
ances from Senate Democrats that
they will act on the issue.
The Senate voted down the bill
Wednesday, less than a week after
first rejecting it as "not germane
Senators have admitted their origi-
nal decision to reject the plan was
payback for House leaders reject-
ing as "not germane" a campaign
finance reform plan packaged in a
stripped-down House bill that was
sent to the Senate last year.
Daughtry's plan was packaged
in a stripped-down Senate bill sent
to the House.
Sen. Leslie Winner, D-
Mecklenburg, says the latest "no"
vote on Daughtry's plan had noth-
ing to do with political gamesman-
ship, but with giving the entire
issue careful consideration.
Most important, she said, is
clarifying what state law currently
says regarding sexual harassment
and whether the State Personnel
Commission was correct in its rul-
ing.
"First of all, it's not clear to me
that the State Personnel
Commissioninterpretation was
correct Winner said in an inter-
view last week. "The attorney
general does have some concerns
about it. I think we ought to hear
some concerns about it
The attorney general's office
has not issued a formal opinion on
Daughtry's plan, but officials there
are studying the changes and
expect to issue an opinion next
week.
Although state law does not
specifically mention sexual harass-
ment, it does prohibit sex discrim-
ination. Among the definitions of
sex discrimination included in
Office of State Personnel regula-
tions is the creation of an "intimi-
dating, hostile or offensive work-
ing environment
State law also prohibits retalia-
tion or threats against state
employees who report "a violation
of state or federal law, rule or regu-
lation
Still, most state employees in
the past had sought relief from
sexual harassment either through
the courts or through the federal
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, which has specific
prohibitions against both "quid
pro quo harassment" and creation
of "a hostile work environment

Even though there are intense
changes in mainframes, most of
the work on them have been com-
pleted. Leon Gipson of CIS feels
most labs on campus should be
2000 compliant. He believes that
most of the problem is with the
personal computers and the
servers, but they are currently
being identified by individual
departments. "We are well coordi-
nated in our efforts, so we know
what we are looking for Gipson
said.
At this time, Computer Services
and CIS are looking at what is not
compliant. Then the decision to
replace or surplus equipment is
made. There are 543 days left until
the year 2000, and compared to
other universities, ECU is well on
their way to attacking the problem.
Senate. "There are also a number
of ex-officio members, without
vote, representing Academic
Affairs, Student Life, Business
Affairs and the Registrar
When deciding on breaks, the
Calendar Committee must look at
many different angles, including
the space of time between the reg-
ular semesters.
"Not being privy to the discus-
sions the committee might have
had relative to the one day break
between summer sessions, I can
only surmise that the number of
days available between the two
regular semesters is a major factor
in their decision Sexauer said.
After the calendar had been
decided it must be approved by
the Faculty Senate and the
Chancellor.
"The calendars for fall and
spring and both sessions are devel-
oped by the Calendar Committee
of the Faculty Senate Sexauer
said. "The committee submits its
report to the Faculty Senate for
discussion and possible amend-
ment. The report is sent to the
chancellor for final approval
Though students may feel
overwhelmed with only a one day
break, departments on campus
have not had a problem with it
According to Michael Balko,
director of housing, there has not
been a problem getting students in
and out of the residence halls in
only one day.
Rose Mary Stelma, director of
financial aid, said there have been
no concerns or adjustments made
and all has worked out as usual in
financial aid.
Calendars have been approved
by the Calendar Committee
through spring semester 2001.

hospitals safety.
"The in house police force is
being extra vigilant to keep eyes
open for suspicious behavior and
characters Former said. "The
main thing we do is turn it over to
the proper authorities
Cpl. William Harris of the
Greenville Police said it appears
the letter was written by someone
who is upset by the hospital's trans-
fer to privatization.
Hospital privatization took place
June 1, despite extreme public
opposition. The author apparently
felt the hospital had been stolen
from him or her.
Once the Greenville Police
Department is involved, it is their
responsibility to bring in other
authorities, such as the State
Bureau of Investigation and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, if
needed.
Harris said that at this point the
Greenville Police Department is
assisting the hospital and the SBI �
has assisted the Greenville Police,
but the Greenville Police are run- '
ning the investigation.
Harris was unable to comment
on any leads in the investigation :
except that they are asking anyone
with leads to please call Crime

Are all of the departments wired with the same sources of information?
According to Computing and Information Systems (CIS) they are. But if
this is the case, then why is it possible for a student enrolled full-time in
the spring and fall semesters, but not taking any summer classes, to have
access to certain facilities and not others? Or, should we say, not without
a fee.
Anyone with a One Card indicating they had attended the previous
semester can use the library's facilities without any questions. But try to
use that same card to get into the Student Recreation Center over the
summer and you won't make it past the front door without paying an
additional $30, the same fee charged to faculty.
The cashier's office said the bottom line is that anyone not paying for a
session of classes technically should not be able to use anything that
would normally be funded through the university fees � even when the
computer shows the student is enrolled for the next semester � but each
entity can come up with their own rules.
So, question the library about their act of kindness in extending their
privileges a few weeks through the summer and thev will tell you so lone
as you re enrolled in the tall, there's not a problem.
Another service provided throughout the summer is Student Health.
You can still purchase medicine and see health care providers at a fraction
of what independent medical practices charge, again, so long as you're
enrolled in the fall. ,
And the computer lab in Mendenhall? Not a problem, just show your
card so they'll know you're enrolled for fall.
The rec center, on the other hand, said if you aren't currently taking
classes, then you can't use the facilities unless you pay. Aren't we already
paying with the increase in tuition? Whose building is it anyway? And
who are they to be the ones on campus to refuse to give student dis-
counts?

Liberal is in eyes of beholder
Opinion columnists are the
only part of the media
I view as having a decisive
liberal or conservative slant.
Not all opinion columnists
are liberal.
According to conservatives, the
media industry is run by a bunch of
bleeding heart liberals. We 'tree-
huggers' put our personal left-wing
slant on everything from political
races to the problems in the world.
I believe this about as much as I
think the sound of a chainsaw rip-
ping through an old growth forest is
music.
Opinion columnists are the only
part of the media I view as having a
decisive liberal or conservative
slant. Not all opinion columnists are
liberal. Opinion columnist Walter
Williams is about as much of a left-
of-center Democrat as Ronald
Reagan was an actor.
Suppose the media were one-
sided; explain why we have a
Republican controlled congress.
The standard answer for that ques-
tion is the voters saw through the
many years of lies by the media and
voted in a much-needed conserva-
tive voice in government. The
Republican explanation is devoid
of good sense.
In 19 Bill Clinton won the
presidency again. Throughout that
year the media reported on
Clinton's supposed sexual impro-
prieties. The voting public still put
the man back into office. The fuzzy
logic that right-wing individuals
claim is the explanation would
assume that two years after the so-
called '94 revolution, we, the public
lost a few IQ points.
If the media were as liberal as
many claim then explain to me why
the reporting of Clinton's sex life is
front page. Meanwhile, Phil
Gramm's dumping of a few thou-
sand into a T&A flick goes unre-
ported � except by the extreme
liberal Al Franken.
Sure the news is liberal. That
explains why hundreds of reporters
are trying to infiltrate Nike plants
around the globe to see if children
are being exploited. Note to nar-
row-minded individuals: the
reporters are in Washington right
now, covering the oh-so-important,
"If Air-Force One is a-rockin don't
come a knockin
Yeah, we are all a bunch of hip-
pie liberals, trying to influence peo-
ple. If that is the case, we have
failed as miserably as the Bay of
Pigs. The liberals in the media sure
have done a great job: Health-Care
reform failed miserably and welfare
for the poor has been cut, while
welfare for the rich is rarely men-
tioned.

Freebies have hidden cost
Even if I know it's crap I
want it � if it's free.
but nothing is ever truly
free � unless you steal it.
There's something about the word
"free" that drives a girl insane.
Even if it's not really free. As long
as it says so, I'm hooked. Like "buy
one, get one free You're not get-
ting a freaking thing for free,
buddy.
I'm a sucker for something that
is free. If anything comes in the
mail � say, for instance, an offer for
seven free CDs (which will actually
cost about forty bucks in shipping
charges) � I'm all over it like a
soggy diaper. Never mind that sign-
ing up for the "club" means being
hounded by a neverending barrage
of postcards and obligations and
resigning your personal taste in
music to a corporate conglomerate
who will now saturate vou with sub-
liminal messages directing you to
buy Nikes and Kathie Lee Gifford-
wear, thus supporting their lack of
adherence to the child labor laws
and the endless cycle of poverty in
Guatemala. All because the enve-
lope said "Free
The saddest part (well, aside
from the starving Guatemalan chil-
dren in sweat shops) is that as we all
know, I no longer own a CD player
(thanks to our marvelous system of
justice that lets burglars out for
"good behavior"). Yet I still signed
up for the BMG deal. Now that's
skillful marketing. Columbia
House also sucked me in like a gold
chain- wearing, chest hair-looking-
like-taco meat pimp downtown on a
Saturday night. I still owe them my
first born child.
You know what gets me every
time? When they throw in the Mini
Super Duper Thingie Bopper for
free with your purchase of a Super-
Super Duper Thingie Bopper on
the infomercials. I mean, it slices,
dices, mows the lawn, milks the
cow, and makes a wonderful center-
piece for any dinner party � and
the Mini Thingie is lightweight for
traveling! Now who could pass that
up? Not me.
Even if I know it's crap I want it
� if it's free. I signed up for 15
credit cards last year solely for the
T-shirts. I buy books at UBE just
for the packet of deodorant, mouth-
wash and cough syrup. In the end I
spend more money trying to get the
free stuff than I would have origi-
nally.
There must be some sort of psy-
. chological connection between the
idea of a freebie and the euphoric
feeling of triumph. I always feel
like I've beaten the man as he
walks away with my money and a
grin and I stand there with a dorky
smile and a handful of crap. But it
was buy one poo, get the second
free!
What I've learned from my mis-
adventures is that nothing is ever
truly free � unless you steal it.

Remember why we moved off campus
we hated having someone
other than our parents boss us
around, make us live in acco-
modations worse than our
room at home, eat food crap-
pier than the stuff at the gro-
cery store and park our cars
so far away
While I was helping my sister
Lauren move into Fletcher Hall on
Sunday for her technology camp, I
took a short trip back down
Memory Lane. It's been about a
year since I loaded all my stuff into
my beat -up '85 Ford Ranger and
made my first trip to ECU. I
remember making several trips to
get all my junk into my room in
Jones Hall, where it was arranged in
its usual disorderly manner. I also
remember meeting a bunch of peo-
ple who were pretty interesting and
seemed pretty nice.
Then I met the resident assis-
tants. My RA Brian was a pretty
cool guy. He wasn't a jerk, and
would generally leave you be. But 1
know a lot of people whose RAs arc
real nut cases. I really wasn't into
having someone who is my age
putting all sorts of rules on me that
not even my Mom would force
upon me. Of course, we got away
with murder. Cold beer was easier
to get than hot water. Everybody
knew somebody with a bong in the
closet. I don't know why the dorms
aren't run like an apartment com-
plex. You're an adult. If you want to
drink a beer in your home, then
why should ECU send its moral
crusaders to give you a ticket? They
could care less about the drinking;
they just want any extra money that
they don't have to earn.
Another sketchy area: visitation.
For some ungodly reason, ECU
won't let you stay in your friend's or
girlfriend or boyfriend's room after
2 a.m. I remember going to N.C,
State to see a friend of mine in his
dorm and we stayed all weekend,
because obviously State isn't.on a
big power trip over their dorms.
And their dorms are better than
ours. Half of our dorms are so old
and dilapidated; I had a nicer place
to live when I was in Army basic
training! Heck, some floors on
White Hall look like they filmed
Armageddon there!
Then there is food and parking.
No kitchens mean you have to eat
at the dining halls, which are
crowded and serve fattening pseu-
do-laxatives. Then parking is a joke
everywhere. The extra $96 for a lit-
tle moronic sticker was the decid-
ing factor on me not returning to
the dorms. Heck, I always have
parking at the apartment and it's
free!
And Traffic and Parking is
always out to make a dishonest
buck. If you are a cashier or a ticket
writer, when we come in to pay the
fine, it takes everything we have
not to smack you in the face.
So basically, we hated having
someone other than our parents
boss us around, make us live in
accomodations worse than our room
at home, eat food trappier than the
stuff at the grocery store and park
our cars so far away that we have to
ride a bus to get there. No wonder
we like apartments so much. Our
freshman year of college was worse
than living at home during our
senior year of high school!

Songs of Forbidden Love
8 OUT OF 10

A waitress at the 24 Hour Diner back
home once told me that cheatin' sex was
the best kind. How she got from "how do
you want your eggs?" to advocating the
fleshly pleasures of infidelity, I'm not sure,
but at three in the morning in a greasy
diner filled with truck drivers and waitress-
es missing one or more front teeth, all
kinds of interesting conversations are pos-
sible.
And speaking of interesting possibili-
ties, you should check out The Wandering
Eyes' Songsof Forbidden l.ove(Lazy S.O.B.
Recordings), a collection of cheating songs
that explore the world of seedy, sleazy
motels and heartbreaking lies.
The Wandering Eyes are an Austin,
Texas country supergroup, featuring the
likes of Rosie Flores, Ted Roddy, Dale
WatgQn, and Kelly Willis. Anyone familiar
with the other work of these folks knows
that bringing them all together means a
whole lot of vocal talent in one place.
You've probably heard the original ver-
sion of "Me and Mr. Jones modeled after
R&B singer Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs.
Jones "Me and Mr. Jones" is one of two
tracks Willis sings lead on � the other
being the Moe Bandy ditty "It's a Cheatin'
Situation" � and it's the better of the two.
Willis wraps her gorgeous voice all
around this version from the cheating
woman's point of view. Willis fans will
have to make do with this project until
early next year, when an already complet-
ed album is expected to be released; she
was recently signed by Rykodisc after
being without a label since she was
dumped by A&M.
Fibres is another gal with an amazing
voice; her cheatin' heart aches and you
can't help but be affected by her interpre-
tations of "In Some Room Above the
Street" and "Even If I Have To Steal
I Ier voice is as tender as properly pre-
pared fried chicken, and she sucks the
bone marrow out of both of the songs for
all they're worth. "Even If I Have to Steal"
is one of three songs inspired by Mel
Street, "The King of Cheatin' Songs to
whom the album is dedicated.
The honky tonk angels aren't the only
ones who can sing convincingly about
stolen love. Watson contributes "Lovin' on
Backstreets" and an original, "Unspoken

so-damn-deep-you-know-he-means-it

Songs of Forbidden Love is done with
equal amounts of emotion and tounge-in-
cheek snickering. It's a hoot and it's sad as

Sunday in the Park celebrates 25th season

ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
Patriotic music was on the bill of fare
Sunday night when the Greenville Choral
Society performed in the Town
Commons amphitheater for a picnicking
crowd of Greenville residents as part of
the annual Sunday in the Park concert
series.
Six ECU School of Music students,
along with faculty member George
Broussard, accompanied the Society dur-
ing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Older citizens clapped along to old-
fashioned gospel favorites and veterans
were asked to stand for a special musical
salute.
The concert was part of an anniversary
celebration for Sunday in the Park, a
Greenville tradition for 25 years.
Young adults fondly remember grow-
ing up with Sunday in the Park as part of
their summers, and even non-residents
enjoy the cultural benefits of the series.
Mary Robinette, from east
Tennessee, attended her third concert
of the season on Sunday. Asked which
has been her favorite, she replied, "I
liked this one better my daughter
and grandson were in it
Stewart Aronson has been praised
highly for creating, developing and
nursing Sunday in the Park through its
first 25 years. "He is the true spirit of
Sunday in the Park said a resident
who did not wish to be named.
Aronson came to Greenville to work
with the ECU Summer Theater program,
one of the few cultural resources available
to residents during the summer. In the
summer of 1974 the Summer Theater
went on hiatus, creating a potential for
cultural stagnation for residents who had
come to depend on the theater for quality
entertainment.
As a direet result of a conversation
between Aronson and Boyd Lee, then
director of Greenville Parks and
Recreation, the first concert was held that
June in a sunken kudzu-encrusted field at
the junction of Third and Fourth streets
with Readc, near what is now the fresh-

blankets and listen to bands outside,
which became a popular way to spend a
summer Sunday night.
The first season of Sunday in the Park
was a success. "We've been doing it ever
since said Aronson, who participated in
Sunday's program, acting as Master of
Ceremonies and lending his trained voice

THEATREreview
First of three l40s classics
for summer season
Stephanie Russell
THEATER REVIEWER
The East Carolina Summer Theatre has
once again created magic in McGinnis.
This season, a celebration of the theater of
the fabulous forties, opened with the
Rodgers and Hammerstein classic,
Oklahoma
Set in the mid-western frontier before
Oklahoma was a state, the play is a story
about people and the land they love. As a
sort of romantic comedy musical of the
times, there are love triangles, affairs of the
heart, and plain, good old-fashioned cow-
boy games.
Steven Edward Moore shines as Curly, a
cowboy with a heart of gold. Moore belts
out such classics as "Oh, What a Beautiful
Morning" and "People Will Say We're in
Love" with tremendous zeal and enormous
talent. His voice is perfectly suited to the
romantic cowboy he portrays. Moore
brings Curly to life in all of his rugged �
and gentle � splendor.
Laurey, the love interest of Curly and
Jud Frye, is played by Alayna Hamilton.
Hamilton, an alumnae of East Carolina,
makes a triumphant return to the
McGinnis stage in this outstanding produc-
tion. She can sing, dance, and act�what
more could you possibly need to star in a
musical? Maybe stage presence and chem-
istry with your fellow actors, both of which
Hamilton has in abundance.
These two are supported by an equally
talented cast, all of whom make Oklahoma!
the huge success that it is. James Darrah
(Will Parker) and Nicole Fenstad (Ado
Annie) almost steal the show. Both are
incredible singers and actors. Fenstad's
rendition of "I Cain't Say No is hilarious,
thanks in part to her amazing comic timing
that shows itself throughout the show.
John Darrow, Walter Shoen, and Patch
Clark (Jud Frye, Ali Hakem and Aunt
Filler, respectively) provide further fabu-
lous support. These three are as important
to the overall success of the show as any of
the lead characters. From serious drama to
sarcastic humor, Darrow, Shoen and Clark
know how to do it all!
Unbelievable choreography from David
Wanstreet showed off the talents of a
remarkable ensemble. All cast members
were integral parts of the show, singing and
dancing their way into the heart of the
action � and the audience. The vocal
direction of Mort Stine and the orchestra,
under the direction of Dr. Douglas
Morrison, were a further delight.
Costuming by Jeffery Phipps and scenery
by Robert C. Alpers, were, as always,
absolutely wonderful.
You may have missed your chance to see
a Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic of
Broadway. The East Carolina Summer
Theatre '98 has done a remarkable produc-
tion of Oklahoma Don't miss the opportu-
nity to catch another classic of the fabulous
forties. Blithe Spirit, a farcical comedy by
Noel Coward, started yesterday and runs
through Saturday.

Movie allows your date's
coolness to be measured
8 OUT OF 10
Randall Martoccia
contributing writer
Do the novels of any pop writer make bet-
ter movies than those of Elmore Leonard?
I suppose the high brows in the crowd
could point to Jane Austen and get little
argument (since so few of the rest of us
have seen the flicks based on her books),
but one look at the trailers is enough to
show that these cinematic tea parties are
not exploiting the medium to its full poten-
tial.
Movies, whatever their inherent faults
(see Armageddon if you need reminding),
are most effective when showing lives, not
manners, in peril.
Hubba Hubba and George get cozy.
PHOTO COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES
And Leonard's strength is making us
care about these lives. How does he do it?
Why do we like Get Shorty's Chili Palmer,
Jackie Brown's Jackie Brown, and the gang
of robbers and accomplices
in Out of Sight?
While I could give you
all sorts of crap about
Leonard's ability to endow
his characters with humani-
ty and about his special tal-
ent for realistic dialogue,
that would not be entirely
true. You want these char-
acters to live mainly
because they are so enter-
taining.
Avoiding the bullets will
permit them to continue
pulling off their schemes
and saying funny things.
The dialogue in these
movies (especially Out of
Sigfit) is too witty to be real-
istic. One priceless bit has a
car thief arguing that he
couldn't possibly be steal-
ing the car he is seen trying
to hotwire because he had
already stolen it a week ago.
As to the actual story,
Out of Sight, directed by
Stephen Soderbergh, has
all of the by-now familiar
Leonard elements: hidden loot, double-
crosses, and games of criminal one-upman-
ship.
George Clooney plays Jack, a chronic
t
bank robber, and plays him well. Gone are
many of the annoying tendencies he com-
mits each week on ER. For once, he does
not look like one of those bobbinhead
dolls from the ESPN baseball commercials.
Jack breaks out of jail with help from
Buddy (Ving Rhamcs, being his usual bad-
ass self). FBI agent Karen Sisco, played by
hubba-hubba Jennifer Lopez, spots them
and attempts to intercede, only to be dis-
armed and thrown in the trunk with Jack.
They talk about movies as if they're on
their first date, while he drums his fingers
on her outer thigh as if it was their second
or third. Nothing explicitly erotic goes on
back there, but the sexiness of the situation
makes what follows not only believable,
but also inevitable.
Yep, you guessed it; they fall in love.
Sort of. Despite those sparks she felt in the
trunk, she still tries to gun him down the
first chance she gets.
The movie then convincingly traces
how their attraction for each other becomes
irresistible. In a wise move, Soderbergh
gives us none of those tedious scenes
where friends and family attempt to talk
the lovers out of it
Sure, Buddy frowns about Jack's need to
see her, and Dennis Farina, as Karen's
father, shakes his head disapprovingly, but
they both seem somewhat amused by the

Lopez together are very sexy.
Soderbergh skillfully turns the
thermostat up in tiny clicks of the
dial � an illicit phone call, a goofy
wave from a closing elevator.
When they do get together
(sorry), the doomed nature of their
relationship and the gradual
buildup give this scene more pas-
sion than can be found in a hundred
so-called erotic thrillers.
Instead of heading off with your
buddies to the next summer block-
buster, call up that girl or guy
you've been wanting to know bet-
ter, and drag them to the Buccaneer
theater (I know; 1 hate that one
too).
Now, don't sweat that your date
is ogling Clooney or Lopez,
because you'll be doing some
tongue-wagging yourself, and make
sure you hang around for the
denouement.
A good judge of your date's cool-
ness is whether he or she laughs
during the final scene. Here's some
advice � no laughter, no second
date.

LOS ANGELES (AP) � Happy
trails, Roy Rogers. The cowboy
and one of the last of the white hats
from the golden era of Hollywood
westerns died Monday. He was 86.
Rogers died in his sleep of con-
gestive heart failure at his Apple
Valley home, in the high desert 90
miles from Los Angeles.
"What a blessing to have shared
my life together with him for
almost 51 years said Dale Evans,
Rogers' wife and singing partner.
Rogers was a star of television,
radio and movies, turning out
country music songs, 87 Westerns
� 26 of them with Miss Evans �
and a 1950s TV series that contin-
ues in reruns. For 12 years, from
1943 to 1954, he was the No. 1
Western star at the box office in a
magazine poll of theater operators.
With his trusty horse Trigger,
Rogers played the straight-shoot-
ing good guy who always fought
fair � instead of killing the bad
guys, he would shoot the gun out
of their hands � and always lived
to sing about it.
"I really appreciate what he
stood for, the movies he made and
the kind of values they embod-
ied President Clinton said.
"Today there will be a lot of sad
and grateful Americans, especially
of my generation, because of his
career
Rogers' theme song was
"Happy Trails to You sung over
aclippity-clop beat and bum-bah-
dee-dah bass line. It was co-written
by his wife.
His movies included King of the
Cowboys, Song of Texas, The Cowboy
and the Senorita, Don't Fence Me In
and My Pal Trigger. In the movies,

his sidekick was whiskered Gabby
Hayes; on television, it was Pat
Brady.
Rogers and Gene Autry were
the most popular cowboy crooners
in Hollywood history.
"This is a terrible loss for me
Autry, 90, said in a statement. "I
had tremendous respect for Roy
and considered him a great human-
itarian and an outstanding
American. He was, and will always
be, a true Western hero
In addition to Miss Evans, he is
survived by a son, three daughters,
15 grandchildren and 33 great-
grandchildren.
A memorial service was planned
for Saturday at the Church of the
Valley in Apple Valley, followed by
a procession around the Roy
Rogers-Dale Evans Museum in
Victorville.

Football players'futures

Travis Bark lev
sports editor
One ECU football player has been convict-
ed and one has been acquitted on charges of
assault.
Kevin Ward, a defensive back from
Kinston, and Travis Mazyck, a wide receiver
from Virginia Beach, Va were accused of
assaulting fellow student Kevin Hyman at a he will
fraternity party at Mendenhall Student would
Center on April 26.
On July 1, Mazyck was
found not guilty, while Ward
was ordered by a judge to per-
form 20 hours of community
service, write a letter of apolo-
gy to Hyman and stay out of
trouble. He received an addi-
tional 35 hours of community
service in a student hearing
after the trial. His final sen-
tencing has been postponed
until Sept. 2. It is expected that
Travis Mazyck
receive a prayer for judgment, which
spare him of a criminal record.
Ward was found
guilty after admitting
in court that he pushed
and swung at Hyman.
Ward said he was try-
ing to protect a woman
Hyman was arguing
with.
Hyman contends
that Ward saw him

woman and pushed

This is due mostly to conceptions of

Bhat? Well, it's much more complex
since this mental discipline is just a
preparatory exercise.
The cars that are raced weigh

le, with an equivalent one just inches

advantage over his competitors.
If this machine, or driving tool, mal-
'unctions, or if there's not a carefully
lanned out meal that will rest for four
lours and not pursue an exit, or if a pit
rew isn't quite as vigorous as they
hould be, then an entire team is affect-
d and loses the race.
Being one of the key terms in any
athletic association, this idea of a
team" is undoubtedly a deciding fac-
or when considering whether or not
MASCAR is a sport, simply because it
uggests working together toward a
ommon goal.
Not predetermined, racing involves
avoiding risks, a respectable level of
concentration, and, at best, adrenalin-
pumping entertainment. These charac-
teristics definitely apply to other sports,
so why do so many refrain from placing
NASCAR in an athletic classification?
Probably the absence of a visible and
changing scoreboard and the fact that
when televised, a race does unjustly
appear repetitious.
But it's the observer who's easily
deceived by appearance that will forev-
er remain ignorant to NASCAR drivers,
far from being destitute of strength,
and the peril of their activity, quite
comparable to mountain climbing, foot-
ball and even ice-skating.
On the track, it's man against man,
machine against machine, and during a
race there's a sense of speeding stimu-
lation for both the drivers and fans that,
beyond the monotony, should entitle
NASCAR as a sport.

Popular website enters its
third year of operation
Christopher Farnsworth

An almost endless cache of information,
the internet has millions of sites for every-
thing imaginable. So, it's not really much
of a surprise to find ECU sports well-rep-
resented and still growing.
One of those sources, one not run by or
through the university, is Crossbones.com,
a website devoted exclusively to ECU
athletics. Created about two and one half
years ago, the site gives information on
whatever is presently relevant to Pirate
sports and updates on former Pirates who
have careers in professional sports. The
prime and most popular feature though, is
Piratetalk, an open forum for all to talk
about their loves and hates involving the
Bucs. Students, alumni, fans, rival fans and

department officials use the
chat room, discussing any
sport, though football is a
favored topic.

Heath was approached by Alan McDavid,

USA Today only offer game scores,
the ECU supporters can log on and

Hyman pushed Ward back, Mazyck stepped
in to separate the two. Hyman says that
Ward punched him, causing him to
fall against a pillar. Hyman says that
both Ward and Mazyck kicked him
while he was on the ground.
However, several witnesses testi-

kick Hyman.
While the player's legal questions
have been answered, it is unknown
what kind of impact this incident will

Ward was expected to see action in

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) �
For 25 days each summer, the gym
at South Carolina State University
echoes with the din of hundreds of
young math and science scholars.
They run through times-table
drills. They goosh together glue
and liquid starch to make a slick,
white polymer. They stretch their
environmental vocabularies.
And, oh yeah, they play
sports. Basketball, golf, swim-
ming. Volleyball, softball, ten-
nis.
"We use (sports) as a carrot,
to elicit that behavior that we
want says Ken Mosely, a
teacher at South Carolina State
who originated the National
Youth Sports-sanctioned pro-
gram there in 1993. The pro-
gram rotates short classes in
math and science with court or
field time.
"(Children) excel in sports
because they want to play it
all the time, without anybody
motivating them Mosely says.
In Moscly's, and in two other
such programs at the University of
South Carolina and Francis Marion
University, hundreds of mostly
low-income children attack math
and science with fervor though
maybe not quite the fervor they
reserve for play because they know
that studying earns them coaching
in sports, too.
Ten-year-old Pasha Franklin is
among the 350-plus children who
will attend South Carolina State
each weekday through Friday. She
sat one day at a folding table,
scratching at u math worksheet as a
tiny,
face.
hat-mounted fan cooled her
"It's OK she said of the pro-
gram. "I like science, because
that's my best subject, and I like
sports (especially basketball)
Pasha said she wasn't the only
one learning something this sum-
mer: "Now my mom's helping me,
too. She learned how to do some

"That's one thing the program

help his or her children succeed
Ken Mosely
Souih Carolina State teachrer
her work home.
That's one thing the program
tries to do, teach parents who may
have limited skills themselves,
Moseley says. Every parent wants
to be able to help his or her chil-
dren succeed, he says.
Nine-year-old Brandon Watkins
said he would rather be having
"real fun" watching movies this
summer, but he liked some things
about the summer program.
"You can learn about doing
stuff, and you can do it at home
he said.
The program takes children
ages 10 to 16 and teaches them not
only math, science and sports, but
drug-resistance and personal
hygiene. Some of the older stu-
dents come from group homes
reserved for those in minor trouble
with the law.
But even those children seem
happy to knead plastic baggies of
goo to make a Silly Putty-like blob
of polymer.
Though much of the program
centers on classroom instruction,
Mosely and his staff manage to
teach math and science through
sports, too.
"If you want to teach some-
body about vectors and angles,
what better way than basketball?"
he asks.
"We can really get them inter-
ested in percentages when they're
making free-throw shots. (And
they learn) what angle of release
will help them to get the best
shot
Last year, about 40 National
Youth Sports Programs nationwide
emphasized math and science.
This year, the NCAA-sponsored
program has boosted that total to
100.
Like UNC-Chapel Hill, SCSU
has offered programs for several
years. This year, with about 450
children, SCSU is the first to
emphasize math and science.
"Sports has the ingredients of
teaching many other life skills
says Albert Neal, a clinical profes-
sor in the School of Public Health
who administers USC's program.
And sports show children they
can excel, he says.
"All of the A's they've been
missing other places, they get
them through sports Neal said.
