ASSISTANT SEWS EDITOR
Two weeks after making a racist
remark in a n address to the Cape
Fear chapter of the Pirate Club in
Wilmington, an ECU Board of
Trustees member resigned.
Walter L. Williams, 69, resigned
over the telephone to Gov. Jim
Hunt Tuesday evening, Sean Walsh
of the governor's
office said.
According to

16 dead in
Littleton massacre
Holly Harris
NEWS EDITOR
At least 16 people were killed in the
deadliest school-related rampage on
record. On Tuesday, two teenagers
in black trench coats opened fire on
classmates at Columbine High
School in Littleton, Colo, and then
took their own lives.
Experts say that while the
motive is still unclear, the incident
appeared to be a suicide mission.
Witnesses identified the two gun-
men as Eric Harris and Dylan
Klebold, members of a group
called the "Trench Coat Mafia
The group is composed of outcasts
who constantly spoke about guns,
bombs and their hatred for African
Americans, Hispanics and athletes.
Students said the group was
obsessed with World War II and
the Nazi party. Tuesday was
Hitler's birthday.
Residents of the town have said
they were shocked that such a hor-
rific event could happen in the
small suburb of Littleton; the pop-
ulation is only 35,000. However,
on the heels of other school
tragedies like the one in
Joncsboro, Ark many say they

Some students may find receiving
financial aid a little more difficult as
a result of the implementation of
new amendments signed into law
by the President.
Under the Higher Education
Amendments of 1998, any student
convicted of a drug offense, either
possession or sale, can lose their
financial aid. However, the amend-
ments do not include any other
criminal conviction.
"A student has to be convicted
of a drug offense before losing
financial aid eligibility said Rose
Mary Stclma, director of Student
Financial Aid.
First time offenders of posses-
sion lose one year of financial aid.
Second time offenders of posses-
sion and first time convictions of
sailing, lose two years of aid. Third
time convictions of possession and
second time convictions of sale

Masters next step
for many students
Jessica Reed
staff writer
The semester is drawing to a
close and those taking the walk
during graduation must face the
most daunting question of their
entire four years � what next?
According to ECU Associate
Dean of Graduate School, Max
Poole, for many students, the
answer is graduate school. Students
give many reasons for pursuing a
higher degree, but the most fre-
quent answers are to gather more
information in their field and to
make more money. Some students,
called non-traditional students
even come back after having
already been out in the work force.
"We find a large number of peo-
ple in our grad-
uate school that
have come
back Poole
said.
Sr. Associate
Dean of
Graduate
School Paul
Tschetter said
graduate school
may not be
appropriate for sen
some students
when they first
graduate with their undergraduate
degree. Many students change
their mind when they enter the
work force. Because of this,

Tschetter said, grad students are
much more diverse than under-
graduate students.
Tschetter also
reported that
graduate school
program at ECU
has a higher per-
centage of stu-
dents that grad-
uate then the
undergraduate
school.
A survey
done in the fall
ii of 1998 by the
ECU graduate
program shows
that 66 percent of master's degrees
students were ECU undergradu-
ates. This is due to the fact that
most programs require only 30-50
semester hours to obtain a master's
degree. A full-time graduate stu-
dent could complete those require-
ments in two
years.
The
Graduate
School program
at ECU
requires all
applicants to
have a bac-
c a 1 a u r e a t e
degree from an
accredited four
year institution,
and most pro-
grams require
that this degree
be in an area
related to the graduate program to
which they are applying.
"We are glad to help students
explore graduate school
through our internet link,
and materials on graduate
schools
James Westmoreland
Director of Career Services
To be considered for admission,
applicants must have a minimum
overall GPA of 2.5 or a senior year
GPA of 3.0. A
satisfactory
score on the
GRE, MAT or
GMAT stan-
dardized tests
are also
required. This

Terra Steinbeiser

Experts say that one of the greatest
disadvantages of the internet is that
it provides an open door for com-
puter viruses to come in and
destroy any number of things on
your computer.
Fortunately for ECU students,
the university has a program that
provides campus-wide 24-hour
virus protection.
"ECU recognizes viruses as a
significant threat said Ernest
Marshburn, director of strategic
initiatives at CIS. "Years ago, the
university strategically entered

Financial Aid
continued from page I
result in loss of financial aid indefi-
nitely.
Stelma says that students can
regain their financial aid if they
complete a rehabilitation program
approved through the Secretary of
Education.
"Since the Secretary of
Education has not yet approved any
rehab programs, the Dept. of
Education has determined that
schools cannot begin to implement
the penalties. The student doesn't
have a way to fix the problem
Selma said.
Another complication is the lack
of a running data base that compiles
all of the drug convictions. This
makes it difficult for the financial
aid office to know about them.
Some students said that they are
concerned about the bill because it
targets non-violent offenders and
fails to mention other serious crimes
such as rape or murder.
"Since when are criminals
denied an education? The people
receiving financial aid are already
struggling for their education. To
rob them of it over a personal
offense is ridiculous said sopho-
more sociology major Kristen
Kochekian.
"Under the Higher Education
Act a convicted murderer or rapist is
more likely to receive federal finan-
cial aid then a person charged with
a non-violent drug possession said
freshman Joshua LePree.
However, according to Stelma
there are benefits to the amend-
ments.
"Loans that are for periods of
one semester or less can be dis-
bursed in one check Selma said.
"Previously, we had to disburse one
semester loans in two or more dis-
bursements, which meant students
received half of their money at the
beginning of the semester and half
mid-way through the semester
She also said that schools with a
low default rate no longer have to
delay disbursement of first year stu-
dent loans until 30 days into the
first semester. This allows fresh-
men students to be able to access
their funds earlier than in the past.
But many are still not convinced
the advantages outweigh the costs.
"The amendments are limiting

selves said Leslie Bailey an

Virus
continued from page I
purchased the Norton AntiVirus
program, which, in the opinion of
some experts, is the best anti-viral
software available
The program works by scanning
and cleansing e-mail attachments,
providing a "safe zone" where the
computer can store infected files
before getting rid of them, and it
prevents new and unknown viruses
from entering the server, and
detects and repairs polymorphic
viruses, which account for about 22
percent of today's viruses and often
elude standard methods of virus
detection.
The Norton AntiVirus program
is available to all students, faculty
and staff for their personal comput-
ers on campus as well as off. The
program can be downloaded off the
ECU network or one can req jest a
copy from the MTC computer lab
in Austin 208.
"ECU was the first university in
the state to grant site-licensed virus
protection to anyone enrolled in or
employed by the school
Marshburn said.
The Melissa Virus is responsible
for the most recent scare among
computer users everywhere. This
particular virus travels by way of e-
mail. Once inside, it quickly begins
to degrade the host computer's
response time and erase files. The
virus is passed through chain e-mail
that, when opened, sends the
infected mail to all recipients in the
user's address book.
According to Marshburn, stu-
dents and faculty at ECU experi-
enced few, if any, problems with
the virus because of the excellent
protection by the Norton
AntiVirus.
UNC-Chapc! Hill is another
university that has made virus pro-
tection a priority.
"We use the Norton AntiVirus
program in all of our computer labs
and are in the process of purchasing
a site-license so that students off
campus can be protected as well
said Sherry Graham, UNC director
of information technology
response UNC-CH provides a
computer help line and a walk-in
service for students who are having
problems with their computers.
"Any time a virus is suspected,
the student is directed to come
down to our walk-in service so that
we can scan their disks and deter-
mine if they need immediate virus
protection Graham said.
NC State uses another program
called Dr. Solomon to protect itself
from destructive viruses. Like
ECU, NC State has site-licensed
the program and made it available
to all students.
"We try to let people know what
to do if they have a virus said
Scott Morris, a computing consul-
tant at State. "If we hear of a virus
like the recent Melissa virus, we
post information on web sites and
send it out on mailing lists to keep
people aware of what's going on
Since intentionally destructive
computer viruses like Melissa are a
relatively new threat, precedents in
terms of prosecuting the originators
of viruses are only now being set. A
suspect was recently arrested for
starting the Melissa virus and faces
both federal and state charges for
second and third degree felonies.
The case is being investigated by
several agencies including the
FBI, SBI and FCC.

Change can come through many avenues. In the case of the floor of the black box
studio in Messick Theater, change came through student action. When the poor
conditions and decrepit floors became too big a problem, the students circulated a
petition that got the attention of school administrators.
The administrators got the wheels in motion to fix the floors. This story has a happy
ending and all the parties involved got what they wanted. The dance students got
their floors, and the administrators got the job done.
The dance department should be proud that their students had the motivation to
see the problem and find a successful way to remedy it. The students took matters
into their own hands and effectively got the attention of the school administration.
Through a unified effort, the students found a way to get their grievances heard and
their problems fixed. However, questions remain.
Why is it that to get needed repairs to a campus building, students must form a peti-
tion and capture the attention of the school brass? Why weren't the students' griev-
ances heard before the petition? Why weren't their needs addressed earlier?
The fact that the students had to get a petition to get the problems with their build-
ing addressed raises questions about the process used to allocate maintenance and
funding.
The ECU football team practices with state-of-the-art equipment and their pro-
gram is housed in one of the campus' newest buildings. The Pirate basketball team
plays in the newly renovated Minges Coliseum. However our dance students were
dancing on dangerous floors and in old buildings whose design included columns
in the middle of their dance floors. And may we remind you that dance is actually
a major here, as opposed to football.
The students showed great determination in getting their floors fixed. They should
be applauded for their successful effort to remedy their poor working conditions.
However their problems should have been fixed before they had gone through the
trouble of getting a petition.

only selling point to these places is
the use of the ECU One Card. Sure
the swipe of the card is easy, but do
you realize you are being ripped
off? Check out the prices next time
you go into The Spot or The
Galley. Of course, since we are all
broke college students we are
going to complain, but we are justi-
fied in our whining. The prices for
food on campus are crazy.
I believe that the students living
on campus have been fricked by
the meal plan and declining bal-
ance. University Dining Services is
taking advantage of us. Walking to
a campus dining facility is easy
because it is on campus. But, if stu-
dents walk off campus to one of the
fast food places they find the cost is
the same and sometimes even
cheaper than our own dining facili-
ties. I'm not even going to mention
the taste of the food because there
is a difference in servings. Our din-
ing halls must cook the same thing
for hundreds of students while
other places cook to your order. I
think the dining halls should offer a
buffet line like Ryan's or Golden
Corral This way may be easier for
both students and the dining staff.
The One Card is also appealing
to parents and students because it
keeps from having to carry around
cash. This is a good thing. But the
problem is that many do not realize
how much they're actually paying
for these meals. Dinner in Todd or
Mendenhall usually costs $6.10.
When you try to get a meal equiva-
lency it does not come out to $6.00,
more like $4.50. Besides the meals,
I know some.products in The Spot
have been jacked up in price
almost 30 to 50 cents. That adds up
after awhile.
It looks like students on campus
are doomed to be cheated out of
money while using the ever-so-con-
venient dining facilities. I think
campus dining is a great service,
but the prices are making students
broke. Quite simply the meal plan
and declining balance are too much
for too little. I think University
Dining Services should reevaluate
their pricing system and quit trying
for profit. I know that feeding hun-
dreds of students a day is expen-
sive, but in order to keep the cus-
tomers the price must be right.

Sullivan
Presidential race ho-hum
The real shock is Dan Quayle.
Docs he really think that after say-
ing something like "it's a shame
when people lose their minds"
instead of "a mind is a terrible
thing to waste" he can ever be
taken seriously?
As the summer of 1999 nears, the
presidential race is emerging as a
prime topic for national media
attention. The events that have
taken place at this stage in the pres-
idential election of 2000 are reason-
ably consistent with campaigning
trends of the past. So far, the nomi-
nation hopefuls are speaking, but
not too definitively yet. The
rhetoric is forming, but not too
tersely yet and the money is being
raised, but not too illegally yet.
Though most factors are very much
the same, the one prominent differ-
ing feature is the most substantial
for the campaigns themselves. This
feature would be the type of people
vying for the party nominations.
The usual crowd consists of an
incumbent or his vice-president,
extremists from both parties, a reli-
gious radical or two and a candidate
that is the better of the evils.
Never before has there been a
woman, a former basketball player,
an ex-president's son and a former
vice-president. To be sure, a really
boring and stiff vice-president has
run before though. It is just an odd
crowd, but then again it is an odd
time for American politics in gener-
al. One just has to wonder what has
deluded some of these candidates
into believing they have a chance.
Elizabeth Dole is a nice lady. She
even does nice things like running
the American Red Cross, but this
does not make her presidential
material. It is a novel occurrence
that she is representing the
Republican party, but her total lack
of experience in an elected office
would make for a frightening expe-
rience as the President of the
United States. Besides, one Dole
has already tried.
Even though Bill Bradley has
served as a Senator, for a former
basketball player to be running
against Al Gore for the Democratic
nomination is absurd. Someone
needs to tell him to stop. There is
no need for the Democrats to waste
money in the primary level of the
election. Besides, after the Clinton
fiascoes, the parry needs all the
help that it can get. Bradley will
most likely serve to be a nuisance
to Gore.
The real shock is Dan Quayle.
Does he really think that after say-
ing something like "it's a shame
when people lose their minds"
instead of "a mind is a terrible thing
to waste" he can ever be taken seri-
ously? Quayle is a good man, but he
needs to face the fact that he will
never, ever, ever be elected presi-
dent.
George W. Bush, the governor of
Texas and son of former president
George Bush, is a reasonable candi-
date. While he lacks a lot of experi-
ence, he has gained the support of
Republican governors and national
political figures. His main test will
be how his public approval ratings
fare when he actually leaves Texas
to campaign and outlines what he
stands for. He alone with
Republican nomination hopeful,
the scandalous Senator John
McCain, are the most qualified and
make the most sense for the
Republican party and for the office
of president.
Despite his struggle to gain favor-
able public opinion ratings due to a
lack of personality and claims of
creating the Internet (yes, he said ;
that), Vice-President Gore is the;
obvious choice for the Democratic;
party. As the year progresses, Gore
will be stepping into leadership,
roles as Clinton slowly fades in'
order for the vice-president to
amass respect.
No candidate presently is absolute-
ly ludicrous or laughable, but nev-
ertheless, no candidate is exacdy
logical or excitingly capable either.
I guess it's just another case of pol-
ides imitates life.
OPINION
Stephen
Kleinshmitt
Wounded kids strike back
There was definitely
a method to the madness.
A frightening new trend has arisen
in America's schools in the past few
years.
Children killing children. In the
past, there were the shootings in
Kentucky, Mississippi and
Arkansas, but those attacks com-
bined did not equal the devastation
of the attack at Columbine High
School in Littleton.Colorado on
Tuesday.
While most people would just like
to dismiss this attack as just an iso-
lated incident of crazed teen vio-
lence, I am inclined to think differ-
ently. After watching hours of news
coverage and interviews of the kids
from the school, this is what I theo-
rized was the motive behind the
carnage. Because there was defi-
nitely a method to the madness.
When the kids were being inter-
viewed, they usually referred to the
suspects as "scum" or "weirdos
One particularly emotional girl who
was interviewed stated that that the
two boys explained to the victims
how they had been harassed and
belittled for years by students at
the schools, and they had finally
had enough-of the cynicism.
The kids had evidently been
thrown into a harrowing depres-
sion, and being taunted daily by
their fellow class mates had pushed
them over the edge. During the
attack, it seemed evident that the
shooters were targeting specific
students. Several students had
been spared, and in one case, while
passing a fellow student on the way
to his car, a suspect told the student
to leave because he liked him.
And we ask ourselves, what are the
causes of this madness? It seems
that our society is sowing the seeds
of our own undoing. Violence is
pervasive on TV a very impres-
sionable medium to our youth.
Kids resort to fatalistic death rock
as an escape from reality, where
they can harbor their resentment
and lack of tolerance for normal
society. Motivated by scenes of
"glorious retribution" in movies
such as "The Basketball Diaries"
and "Natural Bom Killers the.
gradual value of human life dimin
ishes to zero.
And while we go to home at night
to comfortable homes and good
families, these kids may have noth-
ing to return to but an alcoholic or
abusive parent. These kids soon
become suicidal, and then things
like this happen.
I saw Sarah Brady of Handgun
Control Inc on CNN Tuesday
night urging for tighter gun control
laws. I don't care how many ridicu-
lous or erroneous laws you want to !
propose. There are plenty of laws
against guns, bombs and murder at
school, but when it comes down to
it, a suicidal gunman could give a
damn about the law. Laws are only
subject to those who follow them.
The solution lies not in the law, but
in ourselves. When we can start to
accept people as they are, and learn
not to ignore the warning signs of
troubled youth, we may make
some progress in eliminating these.
horrible attacks.

T ROOM ADDICTIONS
OMMON ON CAMPUS
encourage caution
Brooke Potts
staff writkr
You've just had the most miser-
able day of your college career.
Your computer lost that 15-page
research paper you have been
working on since February, the
bank called and said you just
unced three
checks and your boss is
asking you to work tonight
when you had planned to host the
party of the semester. All you want
to do is sit down with your best
friends and vent your frustration.
So you go home and turn on the
computer. Within seconds, you
have found a group of several peo-
ple who listen and help you sort out
your rotten day. Sounds perfect,
doesn't it? That is what many peo-
ple think about chat rooms. You can
instantly meet people, tell them
what is going on in your life and
sign off. Yet it really is not as simple
Many campus computer labs do not allow students to tie up lines with chat rooms.

as it sounds.
"People think that this is a safe.
way to meet people said Lissa
Griffin, junior. "That is what makes
it so dangerous
Lissa, who no longer visits chat
rooms, stumbled into chatting one
day while surfing the net her fresh-
man year. She decided to give it a
try.
"1 thought to myself, 'this is
pretty cool Griffin said.
Since her first experience was a
positive one, she began chatting
more frequently. Her time spent
on the computer became more fre-
quent, and before long, she was
hooked.
"I didn't know at the time 1 was
addicted said Griffin. "I was
spending anywhere from four to
seven hours a day in chat rooms
She decided to give up chatting
when she realized that it was
becoming a major part of her life�
a part that had few real benefits.
Other students on campus also
spend a great deal of time on the
Internet. Danielle Custis, senior,
currently spends at least four hours
a day chatting.
"The people that operate the
chat rooms make it easy for you to
get hooked Custis said. "1 don't
think that I'm hooked, but I can
see how it could easily happen
Custis subscribes to a service
that lets her know when people
online are looking for her
like wearing a pager for
a chat room.
She has a regular
group of people she
usually chats with, who
live as dote as Raleigh
and New England, and
as far away as New
Zealand. '
"I would encourage
others to try this, but to
be aware that it take a
lot of self control
Custis said. She com-
pares it to being in any
other kind of relation-
ship, where you have to set bound-
aries and priorities. "You have to be
strong and not let it run your life
Griffin takes a more negative
view. "It's like talking to a prank
caller�you have no way of know-
ing who is on the other end of the
line she said.
The truth is, when you meet
people over the internet, some-
thing is missing. Without that per-
sonal involvement, deception
becomes easy. It is a lot easier to lie
to someone that you have never
seen than to sit down and fab-
ricate stories to someone's
face.
The computer staff on
campus has recognized this as
a problem.
Aaron Lucier, assistant
director of Housing for
Technology, works with his
department on finding solu-
tions to this problem and
offering addict-

ed students information.
This is just as serious as any
other addiction Lucier said.
"People miss out on other opportu-
nities because they are spending
too much time chatting
The warning signs for chat room
addiction are similar to any other
type of addictive behavior. People
withdraw from their normal day-to-
day activities, and abandon friends
and responsibilities. Addicts will
also typically lie about their use or
the
number of hours they spend in chat
rooms.
"The best way to deal with chat
room addiction is to help people set
rules and boundaries for them-
selves Lucier said. "As a school,
we are trying to make people aware
that help does exist, and encourage
people to seek counseling before
chatting becomes a serious

As you gaze longingly at the person
you would love to spend the rest of
the semester with, a variety of sce-
narios run through your mind.
Does heshe feel the same way?
: Should you take the chance even
though it could end up backfiring
in your face? There has to be a bet-
ter way to pop the big question
besides a 'Do-you-likc-me?
Check-yes-or-no' letter.
Clark Benson and Karen
DeMars have come up with a web
site that can find out all the infor-
mation you always wondered but
were afraid to ask. The web site is
called eCRUSH, which also helps
alleviate the awkwardness of being
rejected or asked out during a
phone conversation or vise versa.
There had to be a better way to
meet people and break the ice
DeMars said. "Since our launch of
the web site on February 14, we
have had over 500 matches

someone they like and who likes
them back are very slim.
"I have dated many people
where the feelings between us
were not mutual and quite the

freshman. "It's a good way for you
to find a relationship that is mutu-

Mary Beth Fleming

Participating in eCRUSH is
quite simple. You enter the web
site at www.ecrush.com, register
yourself with your stats, which
takes about five minutes. You then
submit a list of names and e-mail
addresses of who you arc interested
in dating. eCRUSH then sends
your list of potential people an
anonymous e-mail encouraging
them to register. When they do reg-
ister, if they submit your name to
the web site, then both parties are
notified. Where you go from there
is entirely up to you.
Many students who are intimi-
dated by the idea of asking some-
one out are willing to try the web
site out and also encourage others
to as well.
"It's a good way for the guy to
chicken out and still get the girl
said Alan Riggs, sophomore.
"1 think this web site is a good
idea that helps you overcome ner-
vousness within relationships said
Mary Beth Fleming, freshman.
"The confidence that you have
allows you to find out if your crush
likes you back
"I think it's a good idea because
the person you like doesn't know
you like them unless the feelings
are mutual said Kierstcn Hansen,
junior. "That way your feelings
aren't in jeopardy
Although the idea may sound
perfect, there are setbacks. For
instance, in order for the connec-
tion to actually work, both parties
must be willing to log on, and that
isn't always guaranteed.

Arthritic grandmother beaten,
robbed while buying pot
Sullivan says
marijuana eases pain
W1NNABOW, N.C. (AP) - Tinkey
Mac Sullivan usually traveled alone
from her home in rural Brunswick
County into Wilmington to buy her
marijuana, a frail 53-year-old
trolling the dangerous streets for a
score.
Mrs. Sullivan is a regular around
one of Wilmington's most notorious
drug supermarkets.
"They wave at me when I go in
there Mrs. Sullivan said Thursday
while sitting in her double-wide
mobile home that's kept neat as a
pin. "All of them wave and say
hello. They all call me Grandma
Since 1994, Mrs. Sullivan has
smoked marijuana regularly to alle-
viate the pain caused by her many
illnesses, including rheumatoid
arthritis.
Until Friday, she has always
gone alone to make her buys, which
usually range from one-quarter to
an ounce, she said. -
But on that day, accompanied by
her 13-year-old grandson, Chris,
things took a nasty turn.
Mrs. Sullivan, who with her hus-
band has taken care of Chris since
he was 3 days old, was watching
him Friday because he had been
suspended from the alternative
school he attends.
She went to the bank to deposit
her husband's paycheck from his
job as a tugboat captain. "I left the
bank, and it hit my mind, 'why
don't I just ride by there and see if
I can get some stuff she said.
Chris, who can't even abide the
smoke from his grandmother's ciga-
rettes, didn't know why she was
there, she said.
She circled through the neigh-
borhood, then parked when two
men indicated they had something
to sell. Instead, they jumped in the
back scat and attacked Mrs.
Sullivan and Chris with their bare
hands, taking more than $100 in
cash, her grandson's wallet and her
purse, wallet and credit cards.
She was hit in the face and arm;
Chris says the attackers just got him
once on the head. "I was fighting
back. I couldn't let Grandma get
beat up and not fight back said
Chris. When the men ran, Mrs.

Sullivan didn't hesitate: she called
911 from her cell phone.
Even though she was trying to
buy marijuana, it didn't occur to
Mrs. Sullivan not to call police.
"If I can't get it, I am going to
burn it she said. "If I had one
right now, I'd smoke it And that's
exactly what I told the detective
Now police are weighing
whether to charge her with con-
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor.
Wilmington police Detective
O.D. Horton said police were
shocked when they learned Mis.
Sullivan had been routinely driving
into Wilmington's dangerous
neighborhoods to buy marijuana.
"This is the first rime I've heard
of this he said.
Worse, he said, was taking her
grandson with her. "That's the
issue I'm going to address first of
all he said.
But Mrs. Sullivan said she's not
worried about losing custody of
Chris because she smokes marijua-
na and could be charged in the inci-
dent. She said Chris didn't know
why his grandmother was driving
around in the neighborhood.
When she smokes at home -
usually she smokes half a joint a
day she goes to an outside porch or
to her bathroom, where she lights
up beside an open window.
She's also quick to point out sev-
eral reasons for smoking marijuana:
it eases her ceaseless pain; it relax-
es her, it allows to keep food on her
stomach; and it doesn't affect her
mind the way her more than two
dozen' pain-killing drugs do, she
said. "Right now, my joints are
hurting so bad I can't hardly stand

When asked if she has any mar-

Football wraps up spring practice
Pirates showing steady
improvement
Bl-AINF. DENIL'S
SENIOR WRITER
As spring temperatures are on the
rise, the '99 Pirate football team is
warming up and looking forward to
a winning season.
Saturday, April 24 will conclude
the Pirates' spring football practice
and move the team one step closer
to taking the field again this fall.
The ECU football team began
their spring practices on March 25
with much enthusiasm; adding lots
of young talent as well as new
defensive coordinator Tim Rose to
the program. Since their first prac-
tice session, the team has come on
strong, showing steady improve-
ment and raising expectations for
the fall season.
"We've gotten a lot better offen-
sively dealing with the multiple
looks that our defense is presenting
to us head coach Steve Logan
said. 'I think that our defense on
the other side of the ball is operat-
ing with a lot fewer missed assign-
ments. So we have gotten better on
both sides
Installing the new defensive
alignment'bro.ight in by Rose has
drawn much of the focus of the
spring sessions. Rose, who was the
defensive coordinator at Boston
College the past two seasons, brings
a fast-paced and intense style to the
Pirate team. Logan is optimistic and
pleased with the development of
this new defense during its early
stages.
"I think that it has been a real
positive turn of events Logan
said. "The kids are excited about it
and they are having a lot of fun. It's
a very aggressive style of defense
and they are having fun with it
Pirate players are growing more
comfortable with the new defen-
sive structure and look forward to
utilizing it against the upbeat
offense of teams like Miami (Fla.)
and N.C. State in the fall. All-star
linebacker Pcmell Griffin believes
the defense has come along well
and developed quickly during the
spring. He says he has also grown
more accustomed to Rose's style of
coaching.
"At first I didn't understand him
Rose, but now I've come to enjoy
him a whole lot Griffin said. "He
is very enthusiastic. He likes being
here and I love being here so we are
real compatible
David Garrard, the Pirates
sophomore quarterback, is able to
analyze the defense from the other
side of the ball. According to
Garrard, Pirate players have been
working hard throughout the spring
to get more in sync with one anoth-
er and the defense will be a key fac-
tor come the fall.
"I think everybody really caught
on to what coach Rose has been
talking about Garrard said. "I
know the defense has been giving
me some problems, so I know it's
going to give other teams some
problems
On the offensive side, Garrard
shined in the tail of '98 completing
157-of-255 passes for 2,091 yards
and 14 touchdowns. He broke 16
ECU passing records including best
single-season completion percent-
age and single-game passing
yardage total. Along with Garrard,
senior receiver LaMont Chappell
will help make up the Pirates'
attacking offense. Chappell caught
36 passes in'98 for 584 yards and six
touchdowns.
"We have installed a lot of new
plays Chappell said. "Now that he
Garrard has more experience we
should do a lot more damage than
we did last year
Junior Marcellus Harris and
Delayo Dodd have come on strong
during the spring practices, adding
to the Pirates' offensive arsenal.
Both players will work at the receiv-
er position and Harris may see some
action on special teams during the
'99 season.

Pirates prepare for Penn Relays
Track teams to travel
to years bigst meet
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
This weekend the brick facade of
Franklin Field is the scene for one
of collegiate track and field's
biggest annual meet, the Penn
Relays.
The Penn Relays are held in
Philadelphia and draw the largest
crowds of any meet.
"If you could imagine what it's
like for those home football games,
that's what it's like at the Penn
Relays said Charles Justice, head
women's track coach.
Justice sends his 4x100 and
4x200 meter relay squads to the
meet. ECU's Michelle Clayton will
compete in the prestigious
"Championship of America" in the
hammer and the shot put. The
ECU women will also send its
sprint medley team to Philadelphia.
The men will send its 4x200 and
4x400 meter relay squads and run-
ner Lynn Stewart will compete in
the intermediate hurdles.
The Pirate distance medley
squad is not heading to the meet.
The team qualified for the meet
but after one runner fell ill, the trip
was scrapped. The team will stay in
town and prepare for next week-
end's USATFC Quadrangular
Meet.
"We're going to train on through
to Baton Rouge said Leonard
Klepack, distance coach.
"It's the meet of the year as to
the fact that there are forty thou-
sand people in the stands said Bill
Carson, head men's track coach.
"It's a very knowledgeable track
crowd
The relays come a week after
the teams competed in the CAA
Championships. This timing makes
preparation for the meet easy
because the teams are already in
good shape coming off of the con-
ference meet.
"We just had conferences a week
ago, so we pray we come out
healthy Carson said.

STAFF WRITER
Both the ECU men and women's
tennis teams finished seventh in
the CAA Tournament, with the
women holding true to seed and the
guys moving up a place.
The ECU women beat George
Mason in the consolation round to
finish the CAA tournament.
The Pirates, who were seeded
seventh, were beaten by American
5-2 on Saturday, which set up the
match with Mason. The lone victo-
ries against American came from

Kamthe and Asa Ellbring.
The Pirates dominated Mason,
sweeping the singles matches in
convincing fashion.
The men placed seventh as well.
The Pirates beat UNC-W 4-0 in the
consolation round to close out their
tournament. The Pirates, the No. 8
seed, fell to No. 1 seed VCU on
Saturday, then got beaten 4-0 by
American.
"Playing VCU was really tough.
They arc obviously, very good said
Oliver Thalen, sophomore.
On Sunday against the
Scahawks, the team was ready to
show off their skills.

Jordan
not sold
on price
CHARLOTTE (AP) � It
appears likely that Michael Jordan
will buy a half interest in the
Charlotte Hornets, but the former
NBA star and Hornets' owner
George Shinn are apart on the
price, a newspaper said Tuesday.
Sources told The Charlotte
Observer that Shinn values the
team at $160 million, and wants
Jordan to pay $80 million. Jordan
wants to pay less, in part because
his presence is likely to raise the
team's value almost immediately.
Jordan's prestige also could a
key clement in local lobbying for a
new basketball arena in down-
town, the newspaper said.
Jordan and Shinn have been
unavailable for comment during
negotiations. However, Jordan
confirmed Saturday, while at a
hockey game, that he's interested.
A Hornets' spokesman Tuesday
declined comment on the report.
"We're not commenting on
negotiations said Harold
Kaufman, the spokesman, who
added Jordan and Shinn agreed
from the start to "have a continu-
ing dialogue" on a deal.

Upon entering the Vtfellington B. Gray Gallery in the Jenkins Building to
witness the graduate thesis exhibition, you'll notice a boundary which
separates the left side of the gallery from the right This segregated
appearance is created by temporary walls which conceal the contents of
all but the front section of the left side. The exposed work on the left is
primarily three-dimensional sculpture.
All the work on the right side is two-dimensional textile and collage
work. The textile display, which is the effort of Joyce Joines Newman, is
full of color and pattern while the sculptural works, that of Jonathan
Bowling, reflect muted earth tones and reveal high-profile, textured sur-
faces.
Each body of work is more distinct than similar from its neighbor.
However, Bowling's Director of Thesis Committee, Carl Billingsley posit -
ed,There is an especially good relationship between the work of the two
exhibiting artists, Joyce Newman and Jonathan Bowling, in terms of
their themes and imagery and it's interesting to see the parallels that
can exist between a sculptor and a fiber (textile) artist"
Both artists hail from Appalachia; associations with a rural, pastoral

Tom Petts still got it
Ryan Kennemur
Butcher, baker, candlestick maker

Tom Petty
Echo
Hey man you know that guy? The
one that's been rocking and rolling
for over twenty years? Cmonyou
gotta know him! Real gawky look-
ing, with blonde hair? Hesangthat
song "Last Dance With Mary Jane"
and had die "allegedly dead" Kim
Basinger in the video. Remember
himnow? Of course you do! Why
dolask? He has a new album out.
How is it, you ask? Have a seat and
I'll tell you.
The new album Echo marks the
twelfth release by 70s rockers Tom
Petty and the Heart breakers, and it's
right on time. Petty, the man who
brought us such gems as "The
Waiting"and"Free Fallinis per-
haps the only rock and roll star with
the staying power to be considered
fiesh after twenty-three years in the
business. Don't even think about
mentioning Aerosmith; they haven't
sounded cool since the late '80s,
what with their focus on the power
ballad since their last good album,
Pump. Sorry about that, get a little
upset when awesome bands get old
and don't have what it takes to play
rock-and-roll music anymore.
That aside, Echo picks up where the
last album, the "She's The One"
soundtrack, left off. The disk found
Petty and Co. doing some of their
finest work to date, using a good mix
of sweet acoustic ditties and stone
cold rockers. So does Echo. The first
songRoom at the Top starts off as
a typical slow ballad, with Petty's
Dylan-esque drawl professing got
a room at the top of the world
tonight, and I ain't coming down
Then, through a miracle of the mix-
ing board, the tune jumps into
crunchin' guitar-mode and stays that
way through the chorus, only to end
up right where it started, drifting
lazily down that river in your head.
A couple songs later comes "Free Girl
Now a flat-out blaster of a song and
probably the best one on the entire
album. If this one doesn't get your
foot tapping, then you don't deserve
the privilege of feet. It's a song about
a girl that has gotten out of a rela-
tionship and now realizes that the
world is her oyster, so to speak.
Lyrics like, "Hey babyyou're a ftee
girl now" pretty much sum up the
record, if not Petty's entire career.
Bear with me here.
In the song "Billy the Kida man
falls down hard, but he still manages
to get up again. All of Petty's songs
have characters that are willing to
push until it gives, and punch until it
breaks. That's what his music has
always done, and I for one admire
him for sticking to his guns.
That said, there are even more
exceptional songs that make up this
great album. Though there are plen-

this od� to di ghetto
As I walked the aisles of the
esteemed video rental establishment
that I'll call "Update Video" looking
for just the right title to review, the
idea came to me that maybe I have
wasted my time as well as yours
writing about such frivolous movies
as "Goodfellas� no wait a minute,
"Goodfellas" was kick ass� okay I
got it "UHFrYeahUHFf that movie
was rather pointless now wasn't it?
Anyway, I thought I would review a
movie that was a true art classic, one
that inspired the world such as
"Saving Private Ryan" or
"Casablanca
The difficult decision as to what title
would enlighten you readers the
most came down to three titles: the
tear jerker "Ski School 2 the always
meaningful and insightful "Bikini
Carwash Company and the social
awareness film "I'm Gonna Get You
Sucka
So with these three films conies the
biggest decision I had to make since
I had to decide whether or not pick
the yellow food or the gray food
while eating at Mendenhell, er,
MendenhaLL Will it be the smooth
Aspen slopes? Or maybe the smooth
and supple bre urn, car washes? Or
the long shot candidate "I'm Gonna
Get You Sucka?" When it all came
down to it I chose the heart-wrench-
ing Keenan Ivory Wayans classic "I'm
Gonna Get You Sucka
This gritty urban saga depicts the
horrific inner city exploits of an evil
crime syndicate headed by the ever-
frightening Mr. Big, who kidnaps the
girlfriend of hero Jack Spade (played
by Wayans) and starts a street war

Phair to blast Wright Auditorium
Lee Howard
StaffWriter
Hey, have you heard the song
"Polyester Bride" or "Uncle Alvarez"
played on WZMB? If you didn't
know who it was then you owe it to
yourself to be informed. The artist is
Liz Phair and she is coming to
Wright Auditorium on Monday, April
26.
Phair is on the road in support of
her latest disc,
Whitechocolatespaceegg. An Evening
With Liz Phair is a good ticket item
and well worth the expense. Wright
( Auditorium will prove to be an
excellent venue for this event.
"I consider it to be an intimate con-
cert and a gateway to ushering in
new, quality entertainment for ECU
said Patrick Edwards, chairperson of
the Student Union Popular
Entertainment Committee.
For those who aren't aware of who
Liz Phair is, she entered the indie
rockscenein'93witha full-length
disc, Exile in Guyville, on Matador
Records. She quickly achieved noto-
riety as an "incendiary impudent"
and "bawdy" singersongwriter due
to the candor of her lyrics. As a new
addition to the growing contribu-
tions of "women in rock Phair's
voice has couched women's issues
rather than cater to the desires of a
male-dominated music scene.
While ribaldry yd brashness are
nothing new to rock lyricists, the
impact appears to be greater when
the artist is female. Using the ideolo-
gy of rock music as a platform for
rebellion, she pushes her own agen-

da.
Many critics have credited her for
influencing other contemporary
women musicians.
Musically, Phair's early up-tempo
compositions have a janglely, pop-
like sound reminiscent of the 60's
and 70's.fervet Underground influ-
ence is evident. A number of her
songs have a folk rock sound and
she used this style occasionally on
her next two releases, whip-smart
andjuvenilia.
Phair plays guitar and piano, writes
most of her music and all of her
lyrics. Chorus seems to be her guitar
effect of choice and her riffs are typi-
cally rhythm-oriented. She provides
lullaby melodies with her voice,
which nicely compliments her
rhythms and provides an ironic con-
trast to her "biting" lyrics. In addi-
tion to using piano within rock
arrangements, she has written some
ballads with piano accompaniment,
which appear sparsely throughout
her entire opus.
After the 1995 release of juvenilia,
Phair took a three year hiatus from
the music scene before the release of
whitechocolatespaceegg in 1998. In
addition to some recording during
the intervening years, she got mar-
ried and gave birth to a baby boy.
These experiences have definitely
affected her songwriting, and they
show up in her lyrics.
In her earlier work she seems to be
fixated on the pleasurepain aspects
of girlfriendboyfriend relationships.
The most recent songs deal not only
with this type relationship, but also
with ambiguous nature of other
relationships like friends, spouse,
parentchild and extended family.
On the new disc she expresses a
maturity that seems evident not
only lyrically, but musically as welL
The instrumentation is more diverse
and the production quality is more
polished than before. The lean
sound of her early basement tape
compositions has filled out to a rich,
full, high production sound.

Movie Review
Frasier's still out of his element
Ryan Kennemur
Walken Historian
What would you do if you had
locked your family away in a bomb
shelter for years and years to protect
them from the cold war, and all of a
sudden (35 years later) your son says
he wants to go see the world? "Blast
From the Past the new comedy with
Brendan Frasier and Alicia
Silverstone, is based on that ques-
tion.
During the Cold War, Cahrin and
Helen Webber (Christopher Walken
and Sissy Spacek) are looked upon
as total goof balls by all their neigh-
bors. Then again, they did make an
underground bomb shelter in their
backyard that is an exact replica of
their above-ground house. One day,
President Kennedy comes on televi-
sion and tells the world that he is
going to try to put a stop to the
Cuban Missile Crisis, so Calvin
decides that he and his pregnant
-Btoil From e Ptst" in d�t� mow touH
wife should go spend some time in
the shelter, just in case.
The lacker is, on the same day they
decide to go underground, an air-
plane falls from the sky and hits
their home just above the shelter,
causing the submerged couple to
believe that nuclear winter has
begun. So Calvin decides to seal the
shelter and not come out for 35
years, the time at which he believes
the Earth will be habitable again.
During this time, the couple has a
bouncing baby boy named Adam,
played by George of the Jungle him-
self. They raise him just as if they
were still in the 60s, and so Adam
comes out of the shelter more than a
little bit bass-ackwards.
Adam comes to the surface totally
unprepared for the trip he is about to
embark on, which in essence is the
search for true love. Eve (Alicia
Silverstone) is hired to took after him
and teach him the ways of the world.
Along the way, she becomes
enchanted by his childlike inno-
cence, not to mention the fact that he
already knows how to do the newest
craze, swing dancing. Of course.the
two fall in love.yada yada yada.
Don't get the idea that this isn't
worth seeing. For once, there's an
out-of-the-ordinary plot featured in
what would otherwise be a garden
variety romantic comedy.
And at least we know that the actors
are capable of getting the job done,
especially Brendan Frasier. This is
his third "fish out of water" movie he

and a modey crew of other fools who
have no clue as to what the hell is
going on around them, but who fight
the syndicate anyway.
Spade is also fighting a personal side
bank against Mr. Big because he feels
that Big is responsible for the death of
his brother by "QG (as in"over-gold-
ed"himself to death). As the movie
progresses, you really get the feel for
the desolate world which Mr. Big con-
trols: the drugs, the hos and the guns,
all of which are portrayed in a realistic
fashion.
I mean, I had no due that a pimp-
slappin' ho bag can jump out of a
tenth floor window and bounce up to
her feet without a scratch because her
chest is so ample. Go figure.
The story comes together when

name is, all shoot it out with the forces

. I won't tell you how it ends because
you really have to see it for yourself. It
nearly brought me to tears. This per-
sonal, inspirational story of inner city
life will have all of you in stitches
from cutting yourself on the door
while running away from this God-
awful movie. Rated "R" for ridiculous.

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) A cou-
ple who married after winning a
blind-date radio competition have
announced they are splitting up less
than three months after tying the
knot.
The Church of England demanded
Wednesday that the radio station apol-
ogize to the couple, who met for the
first time at the altar Jan. 25 after a
team of relationship counselors and
astrologers matched them in what sta-
tion BRMB called a "social experi-
ment
Greg Cordell, 28, and Car la Germaine,
23, blamed intrusions from the news
media for their problems, saying it
had put the relationship under
unbearable pressure. A film crew and
newspaper reporter accompanied
them on their free honeymoon in the
Bahamas.
Besides the wedding and honey-
moon, the salesman and the model
won the use of a sports car and a lux-
ury apartment in this central England
city for a year if they stayed together.
The wedding sparked outrage among
church leaders, who contended it
reduced the sanctity of marriage to a
game show.
"BRMB put temptation in their way
and bear a major responsibility for
what has happened, including the
massive media interest which they
engineered said the Archdeacon of
Aston, John BartonI hope this other-
wise responsible radio station will
now have the courage and decency to
apologize to the couple and the public
for devaluing the institution of mar-
TILLY-LA-CAMPAGNE, France (AP)
Some wrongs burn in the memory for
years until they are finally put right
Hans Kupperfahrenberg traveled from
Germany to a tiny Normandy village
just to return a ham like the one he
stole from a French farmer during
World War II.
Making good on a 54-year-old
promise, the 75-year-old German war
veteran apologized Monday night to
Louise Marie, now 87, saying he was
starving when he stole her ham in the
summer of 1944.
In a ceremony at the town hall of
Tilly-la-Campagne, population 70,
Kupperfahrenberg delivered two hams
� one German, one French � to
make amends for his wartime theft.
"It was war. We were retreating and we
hadn't eaten for several days
Kupperfahrenberg recalled. "It was
wrong to eat your ham, but in the situ-
ation, I felt no remorse. My hunger
was too great, and the hope of finding
food too slim
It was July 1944, only a month after
Allied troops landed on the beaches of
Normandy.
Kupperfahrenberg said Marie had
given him and other soldiers from the
21st armored division some eggs for
an omelette. While he was cooking
them in the fireplace, a ham hidden
high in the chimney crashed down
into the pan.
"We had stashed it there so no one
would steal it Marie said.
Kupperfahrenberg said he'd always
promised himself he would one day
make up for robbing the generous
Frenchwoman.
He returned to Tilly for the first time
last summer, but wasn't able to locate
Marie's farmhouse. Instead, he pre-
sented a ham to the residents of an old
age home.
Marie read about him in the local
paper and contacted officials who
tracked him down at his home in
Essen, Germany.

heritage are established by the exhibi-
tion's title "Red Shed A sculpture by
the same name is the first construc-
tion to greet you as you begin your
perusal of the art.
While navigating your way through
the gallery, understand that Bowling's
installations are meant to be under-
stood as "house" and "yard in which
the shed rests in a state of decay.
Newman's work is intended to be read
chronologically from left to right like
a book.
Nostalgia is an effective tool use to
relate to the sculptures and wall reliefs
in the "house However, the objects
you encounter in the "yard" are prob-
ably best understood on a subcon-
scious leveL A surreal atmosphere
staged by the sculptures, lighting and
props shows up in Bowling's "Death of
the Family Farm which is a larger-
than-life-size sculpture depicting two
anthropomorphic, skeletal forms en
route a torturous journey. Death,
decay and pain are themes associated
with Bowling's extensive use of found
objects such as bones, syringes,
straight razors, rotting wood, a variety
of rusted steel tools and discarded
appliances. Death can be a strong
metaphor for change, and perhaps
Bowling's work is a statement about
our shift from an agrarian economy
to an industrial or information
exchange economy.
"Both their work seems to be about
the death of something said
Christine .oiler, director of Newman's
thesis committeeThere may be the
death of something in therethe
death of past identity
Newman sided with the idea that her
work was about change and "letting
go not death perse. She draws atten-
tion to societal codes used to establish
and perpetuate gender roles through
techniques associated with "woman-
hood" such as quilting and embroi-
dery. Other signifiers like paper dolls,
garment patterns and quotes from a
nineteenth-century text regarding the
conduct of women help the viewer
understand what she is "letting go
Another apparent common thread
between the two artists is in their
construction of a historical narrative.
These constructions are created with
found objects and manifest as assem-
blage, collage and installation.
However, Bowling's work frames the
viewer in the nostalgic moment and
Newman's work ushers the viewer
through the past and into the present.
The romantic melancholy and
entropy of Bowling's work is poetic in
effect and contrasts with Newman's
compositions which seem to deliver
the viewer through a point of trans-
figuration.
As an aside, Bowling has a number of
large scale, steel sculpture displayed
on the patio of the gallery, which can
be viewed at any time. Another grad-
uate candidate, Kevin Eichner, also
has a sculpture placed outside.
Eichner's "outside" installation of a
piece tided"We"can be found
between the Jenkins Building and
Jarvis Dormitory. The exhibition is on
display until May 1 and can be seen
Monday through Friday, 10 am. to 5
p.m or Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On
Thursdays the gallery is open until 8
p.m.

"George of the Jungle The whole

And SUverstone actually brings to her
role something other than spoiled lit-
tle rich brat. Walken and Spacek are
passable, with not much to their roles
to speak of.
But the story isn't about them. The
whole idea here is that love is out
there, even if its been hidden under-
ground for three decades. This is a
great date film, and since its now play-
ing at the Buccaneer, its a cheap date,

ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
You have a tendency to keep a lot of
good things secret, especially your
accomplishments. Doing some
rather unfavorable chores for a loved
one will result in heartfelt gratitude.
You live in the present and bath
dwelling on the past. Don't whine.
TAURUS:
(April 21-May 21)
You seem to be able to handle just
about anything which may be
thrown your way in regards to sur-
prises. By putting a lot of faith in
those you love, it is a shock when
someone lets you down. Keep your
self-esteem intact and take time out
for yourself too.
GEMINI:
(May 22-June 21)
Ongoing relationships are a little
strained presently, and new ones are
somewhat dubious. Just wait it out
and things will improve soon.
Money is not important to you, but
you enjoy having enough so you can
do the things you want, without
counting the cost.
CANCER
(June22-Juh23)
Being quite a homebody, now would
be an excellent time to capitalize on
any inclinations you have in thai
direction. Your love life is quite
intense lately. It is especially exciting
that your loved one's emotional
intensity matches or even surpasses
your own.
LEO:
(July 24-August 23)
This week you need to capitalize on
your powers of persuasion and
emerge a winner in a business-
financial negotiation - as well as in
your love life. You seem to be happier
in a relationship than you are alone.
But since your standards are incredi-
bly high, expect a few dry spells.
VIRGO:
(August 24 - September 23)
Even at the best of times you have to
guard against a tendency to adopt a
negative attitude toward life in gen-
eral and romance in particular.
Whether you know it or not, you are
very capable of getting by on your
own. Being a fast thinker, you handle
sticky situations well.
LIBRA:
(September 24 - October 23)
You are very good at keeping secrets,
especially about how you feel about
others. Your love relationship may
not always be as harmonious as it
appears to others. Enjoying compan-
ionship and the sharing of ideas is
important, and you tend to focus on
the positive side of everything.
SCORPIO:
(October 24 - November 22)
Beneath your strong, independent
exterior lies a desire for a truly ful-
filling relationship. Resist in the
temptation to indulge in self-
destructive behavior if you become
unhappy. Emotional satisfaction can
also be found in renewing old
friendships.
SAGITTARIUS:
(November 23 - December 21)
Although you usually have a signifi-
cant other, you do much better on
your own. Independence is your
motto. Your real strength lies in your
ever present optimism. Learn to
value those worse moments of your
life and leam from them. You have a
natural athletic ability.
CAPRICORN:
(December 22 - January 20)
The inherent fatalism which seems
to follow you around may stifle any
positive attitudes needed for you to
get ahead Your strength lies in your
ability to move forward, so you need
to work on gaining control over your
negative thoughts. Being practical
and living in the real world are your
strong suits.
AQUARIUS:
(January 21 - February 19)
Feeling dependent on others is the
type of situation you steer dear of,
especially when it comes to any
emotional relationships. Since you
do quite alright on your own, avoid
hermit-like tendencies. Ybur com-
passionate nature will get you into
more trouble than its worth.
PISCES:
(February 20-March 20)
Verbalizing your feelings to a loved
one could be the best way to dear
the air, providing tact is used. You are
feeling quite attractive lately and that
feeling is communicated to everyone
else. You are in touch with the guid-
ing impulses of your nature and
enjoy expressing yourself.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: The main focus for
you right now is on work,
meeting your responsibilities
and health matters.
Relationships are important,
but you must stand on your
own two feet. Your yearly
income will start improving.
