University professors design Web classes
Internet makes
'e-education' possible
Jennifer Brown
STAFF WRITER
Some ECU professors are us-
ing the Internet as a way to con-
duct class rather than just for re-
search.
Teachers are beginning to
post notes and assignments on
the Web.
Dr. Dale Knickerbocker, a for-
eign languageliterature teacher
uses the World Wide Web in his
classes.
Knickerbocker said that for
his Spanish literature class, he
has all of the assignments and
study questions on his Web page,
and for all of his foreign language
classes he has a Web site for re-
sources on more Spanish sources.
"The site includes links to
interactive reading and grammar
sites, a Spanish dictionary and
thesaurus, Spanish pen pals, sites
to study abroad, quizzes with
explanations of wrong answers
and links to Spanish TV, radio
and newspapers Knickerbocker
said. "It's a good way to sharpen
your Spanish skills
Knickerbocker plans to have
a graduate level course that is
based entirely on-line. It will be
a reading course, so students will
not be required to speak the lan-
guage. This is a class for people
who will need to be able to read
and understand Spanish text-
books for research purposes.
"There will be set times in a
chat room where students can
discuss things with me, or they
can e-mail me Knickerbocker
said. "I will e-mail the assign-
ments during a certain set class
time and they will have a certain
period of time within which to
respond
Todd Finley, an English pro-
fessor, Is also in the process of de-
veloping on-line classes.
"I'm developing a DE dis-
tance education course called
English 6510-Recent Trends in
English Education Finley said.
"It targets teachers who want to
earn their master's but might
have difficulty traveling to cam-
pus or making time in their
schedule
"For those living far away
from campus, a DE course makes
sense. If a mother in Nag's Head
has to travel three hours to sit
through a three-hour class, then
drive three hours back home,
she's not going to have the time
to do anything more than sur-
vive the experience Finley said.
Finley said that in the future,
a large percentage ECU students
will participate in what he calls
"place-less
timeless edu-
cation
"The fossil-
ized model of
teaching stu-
dents at the
same time,
three times a
week doesn't
make sense
Finley said.
However, a
majority of
ECU students
say that they
are not quite
ready for the
Internet to re-
place the class-
room. Accord-
ing to an Internet-use survey
taken by The East Carolinian, 79
percent of students polled said
that teachers should not hold
class discussions via the Web. On

Taking proper precautions prevents alcohol poisoning
Programs work to
promote awareness
Martina Clyburn
STAFF WRITER
In the past few months, there
have been at least four reported
cases of alcohol poisoning
among ECU students.
Alcohol poisoning, which
can lead to death, occurs when
the body has consumed an ex-
cessive amount of the intoxicant.
"The reason your body is un-
able to digest this is because al-
cohol is a depressant, so it de-
presses your breathing and your
heart rate said Dr. Betty Straub,
associate dean and director of
Health Promotions.
Symptoms that may occur
include cold, clammy skin, slow
respirations, vomiting while
"sleeping" or passed out, oblivi-
ousness to surroundings or loca-
tion and unconsciousness or
semi-unconsciousness.
Sargent Stephanie Griffin of
the ECU Police Department re-
ported that she has encountered
several cases involving under-age
students who have abused alco-
hol and have had to be reported
to EMS.
According to Beth Credle,
interim director of Health Edu-

Teacher suspended
for posting Wiccan Web site
Action highlights
privacy debate
Terra Steinbeiser
NEWS EDITOR
A high school teacher in Scotland County
was suspended last month for posting a Web
site that contained pictures of ritual nudity as-
sociated with the Wiccan religion.
Sherri Eicher, an 11th grade English teacher
at Scotland High School, is the leader of a small
sect called the WillowFyre Coven. The Web site
that she and her husband maintained had pho-
tographs of fully nude Wiccans participating in
a body painting ritual, known as "sky clad
Eicher was not one of those pictured.
Her suspension in January brought about a
barrage of discussions and town meetings with
the Scotland County Board of Education
(SCBOE), area ministers, lawyers and citizens
about the fine line between the private and pub-
lic life of a school teacher.
On Jan. 27, the SCBOE released a statement
saying that Eicher would not be returning to
her job at Scotland High, despite the fact that
her most recent performance evaluations rate
her as "above standard
"The direct issue is settled to our satisfac-
tion with regard to the school district and school
district employees said Richard Eicher, Shari
Eicher's husband in a previous interview with
the Laurinburg Exchange.
An agreement made by both parties main-
tained that neither the Eichers nor the school
board would make any further comments about
the issue to the media.
The issue of the dividing point between the
public and private lives of those who have a
direct influence on children is one that is hotly
debated.
"There's quite a lot of law pertaining to what
is personal and private for a teacher said Dr.
Parmalee Hawk, director of Teacher Education
at ECU. "If what they do reduces their effec-
tiveness in the classroom, then the school board
has a right to make a suspension or a dismissal
In 1984, the State Supreme Court made a
decision pertaining to this issue. In the case of
Faulkner vs. New Bern-Craven County Board of
Education, the court upheld that "it is not in-
appropriate or unreasonable to hold our teach-

PCMH identifies healthful menu options
??
?
BISTRO project
now underway
Josette LaChance
STAFF WRITER
Pitt County has been chosen to
serve as a pilot site for a program
designed to identify healthful menu
options at restaurants.
"The BISTRO project Building
Interest and Support for Healthy
Restaurants is a state-wide program
that sends volunteer dietitians into
restaurants in order to identify
healthy meals served said Kim
Shpvelin, a registered dietitian at
Pitt County Memorial Hospital. "For
a meal to be identified as healthy, it
must consist of fruits, vegetables
and grains, while maintaining low
sodium and fat content
, Once a meal is identified as
healthy, it will be identified by a
symbol on the menu.
, Also, the front door of the res-
taurants might hold a sign to let
people know that they are partici-
pating in the program. The direc-
tors of the BISTRO project will also
be distributing pamphlets that con-
tain more detailed information
about the program.
. There are seven area restaurants
that have decided to participate in
the program. The restaurants are the

"The BISTRO project is an excel-
lent idea because it will give people
who must maintain a certain diet
the chance to go out and have a nice
meal said Scott McClelland, owner
of the Chef's 505. "I hope it flies.
My restaurant is a good candidate
for the program because it runs a
pretty healthy menu already. When
the dietitians came, they said they
could use practically my whole"
menu
Fred Sullivan, former owner of
the Mesh Cafe, said he is a big ad-
vocate of the BISTRO project be-

? ;There are many avenues on cam-
pij to educate students on alcohol
and the effects of it's abuse. The ECU
PD also presents workshops at the
beginning of the semester in the
lobby of the residence halls.
Also, Straub hosts a two-hour
workshop twice a week that is of-
fered to any student or campus or-
ganization who is interested in
teaming about alcohol awareness.
Straub said she is currently in the
process of developing a video to
encourage students to "stop the cra-
ziness" of alcohol abuse.
"It involves everyone Straub

ECU is not the only university
that is taking measures to prevent
alcohol abuse. Michigan State" Uni-
versity is partnering with the fam-
ily of Bradly McCue, a junior at MSU
who died on his 21st birthday from
alcohol poisoning.
The family has created an orga-
nization called B.R.A.D. (Being Re-
sponsible About Drinking) which
can be accessed at,
"www.brad21.org The site gives
information about alcohol poison-
ing and allows you to send a card
to a friend on their 21st birthday to
remind them to drink in modera-
tion.

a healthy society
. "It will show that we're not just
another restaurant, but will give our
guests a healthy alternative"
Sullivan said.
Some ECU students said that
knowing which restaurants offer
healthful menu choices will make a
difference in where they chose to
eat. "I'm concerned about fat con-
tent and staying healthy said jun-
ior Daniel Hunt.
Freshman Jeanne Czarnecki
agreed. "I would chose a meal that
had received the sign if it sounded
good because I like healthy foods
Czarnecki said.

After calling in to the 800-number and acing sev-
eral rounds of trivia questions, Fine won a chance to

New York
The hit game show, which has been a ratings bo-
nanza for ABC, features 10 new players every day from
around the country. They compete against each other
to ascend to the seat opposite host, Regis Philbin.
Once in the "hot seat the contestant must answer
15 multiple-choice questions to win the million. He
gets three "lifelines"?which enable him to poll the
audience, call a friend or eliminate two of the four an-
swer choices.
The Chronicle learned Monday night that Fine had
made it into the "hot seat and that, he had reached
the $8,000 round when he called Pratt senior Gabe
Tsuboyama to help him answer a question.
That question?What word is. consistently spelled
backward in the novel The Shining??stumped
Tsuboyama too. He suggested the wrong answer, but
Fine apparently disregarded his lifeline and guessed
correctly.
Fine could not be reached for comment on his fi-
nal winnings from the game show.
Fine said his subject strengths are sports and geog-
raphy, and his weaknesses are books, authors and '60s
and '70s pop culture. For the latter subjects, Fine can
call on some Dukies to help.
"My lifelines are two of my friends from Wayne
Manor, my dad, a professor at Duke, Martin Lewis, and
one of my friends who's a girl he said.
University of Columbia?Nearly five years after
Harvard was rocked by the deaths of two students in
an apparent murder-suicide, Columbia University is
trying to deal with the same shock.
On Saturday, a 19-year-old sophomore was killed,
followed hours later by the suicide of the suspect, her
former boyfriend.
Kathleen A. Roskot, a star lacrosse player, was found
dead early Saturday morning in her dorm room. Her
throat had been slashed.
Later that day, Thomas G. Nelford, a Columbia drop-
out and alleged cocaine addict known for his artistic'
ability, threw himself in front of a Manhattan subway
train. He was found carrying Roskot's wallet.
According to Virgil Renzulli, Columbia's associate
vice president for Public Affairs, Friday night's security1
tapes show Roskot and Nelford entering her dorm o
gether. Nelford also left his identification card with the'
dorm's security guard.
A New York Police Department lieutenant told Thfe!
Crimson that detectives have no doubt that Nelford'
killed Roskot. The case was closed Saturday with'
Nelford's suicide, the lieutenant said. ' ?
Renzulli said the killing was Columbia's second fn1
less than three years. The other murder was also allegJ
edly committed by an acquaintance of the victim. " '?
"Any student death is a tragedy he said. "This is
just a terrible loss ? ?
Renzulli also said that Columbia is taking steps to'
help students deal with Roskot's and Nelford's deaths.
He said administrators began the process by informing'
all students of the murder-suicide via e-mail messages.I
"The university has made counselors available'
throughout the weekend for any students Renzulli'
said. "There have also been meetings for. people in her1'
dorm, and a hotline has been opened ? '

? Republican leaders urge gay
marriage question at meeting
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP)?Republican leaders in the
Vermont House and Vermont Senate are urging towns
to ask voters for their thoughts on gay marriage at
March town meeting.
House Leader Walter Freed, R-Dorset, and Senate
Leader John Bloomer, R-Rutland, wrote letters to towns
across the state suggesting they include ballot ques-
tions on Town Meeting Day.
They suggested that two questions be put to voters:
"Do you support same-sex marriage?" And, "Do you
support the creation of a domestic partnership law by
the Vermont Legislature which would allow same-sex
couples the same basic benefits as married heterosexual
couples presently have?"
The Legislature is considering those questions in
the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling that gay and
lesbian couples should be given all the rights and ben-
efits of marriage. The court left it to the Legislature to'
determine how to provide those rights.
The two Republicans said that the request was not
made to support any one particular position, but "to
allow the Vermont public a chance to weigh in on this
issite on an individual basis
Several towns already have put the issue on their
ballots. Among the larger communities seeking voters'
views are Hartford and Rutland City. Rockingham was
the first town to decide on a ballot measure.
Now, it appears that Brattleboro may follow suit.
Town officials scheduled a discussion at a select board
meeting after receiving the letter from Freed and
Bloomer.
The board will vote on Tuesday whether to include
the matter on the 2000 town meeting warning, which
would include a town-wide secret ballot vote.
Robert Fagelson, chairman of the Brattleboro Se-
lect Board, said Sunday that he fully supported putting
the item on the ballot and he predicted Brattleboro
"would be one of the few towns" in the state to en-
dorse the controversial issue.
"I don't have a problem with it at all said Fagelson,
who said he would have a problem adding a third ques-
tion for Brattleboro voters-whether voters supported a
constitutional amendment defining marriage as a
union between a man and a woman.
"I don't like constitutional amendments.in the first
place said Fagelson. "And 1 would be opposed to it
Fagelson noted that when the town endorsed do-
mestic partnerships for its town employees, giving ben-
efits coverage to a town employee's same-sex partner
he didn't hear a word against it.

The case of Sherri Eicher and her dismissal from her job as an 11th-
grade English teacher raises many questions. The Scotland County High
School teacher who was dismissed for the content of a Wiccan Web site
she ran caused many to ask "Should teachers be held to a higher stan-
dard than everyone else and should what a teacher does out of class
affect her employment?" Many people would say yes.
Obviously, nobody wants a teacher breaking laws or setting a bad
example for children. However, it is when you get closer to the center of
the moral spectrum that the answers to those questions become less
clear. If certain aspects of Eicher's case had been different, a quick and
clean answer to the problem could be had.
If Eicher had taught second grade, there would probably be more
support for her firing. Likewise, if she had been a college professor, would
her decisions outside of the classroom garner as much attention? Prob-
ably not. But this case does raise the issue of equality-how can we set
concrete standards if no one can agree about what the proper definition
of decency should be. And, should anyone be trying to answer that ques-
tion on a public level in the first place?
A teacher does work with the youth of the community and they do
shape the views of their students. However, at what point does the in-
class life end and the out-ofrclass life begin?
Another thing that makes the Eicher case so sticky is the exact con-
tent and purpose of the site. The Web site is dedicated to the Wiccan
religion. The controversial images depicted a religious ceremony. This
presents a constitutional quandary for the school board. Is the Web site
protected by the First Amendment? Should her private life be private? Is
the Web site so threatening?
The Eicher case proves that a-situation that at first seems open and
shut can have other aspects that can cloud a decision.

Vote LaradoBastard for 2000 President
Mark Larado
POLITICAL COLUMNIST

,? Quite frankly, this year's election could just be the
ipjdst boring ever. Watching the campaigns is a lot like
?tching the amateurs play at the AT&T Pebble Beach
If Pro Am. You don't know the names of the old
jateurs playing, but a lot of people clap for them, so
tpey must be famous.
!To spice up this year's presidential race, we need to
ajiolish the law that snuffs out the young idealists from
the presidential race, like NSYNC. That rule is in Ar-
tfcle Six of the Constitution-and firmly states that the
president must be a minimum of 35 years of age. It
ajfeb states, "No shoes, No shirt, No elected president"
(jofrry candidates from West Virginia).
So, I'm pushing for a petition that will overturn
ttils oppressive law, and while I'm doing that I might
asjivell throw my hat into the topless mud wrestling
rif g for the presidency, too.
Here's how an interview between a distinguished
journalist (Katie Couric, for example) and me might
gi-
1 Question: Why should we vote for you for presi-
dent?
Answer: As president, I will return the "wholesome-
nass" and "dignity" to the presidency that was absurdly,
m&rred in the last term. I will focus my campaign on
education and health care reform, while battling the
evils of censorship.
' Q: Really?
? A: Of course not, unless you find legalizing prosti-
tution "wholesome
I Q: Who will be your running mate?
I A: You may know my running mate from the en-
tertainment industry. He is widely known and could
b? considered a household name. My running mate
fof vice president is Ol' Dirty Bastard. Some of you may
aljo know him as Big Baby Jesus or Rikers Island in-
nate 45876.
Q: How could Ol' Dirty' Bastard be qualified for a
position of high office.
J A: I thought you might ask that question. I assure
ycju he is very qualified because he can drink just about
enough and has had as many run-ins with the law as
any Kennedy has had.
IQ: What is your view on gun control?
A: Although my running mate is pro-uzi, I feel I
cannot express my views about gun control freely be-
cause we have marines and a clock tower here at ECU.
? Q: I've noticed that the Republican and Democratic
primaries have already started, so this means that you
will have to run as a third party. What party will that
be? The Reform party perhaps?
A: The Reform party is already filled. The likes of
Buchanan and Trump are fiercely battling it out now
for one percent of the American vote come Nov. 2. So
with this knowledge, Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB) and I held
a crusade to find the right political party that will back
us up, with a little help from Politics.com.
From our research, we've found that there are oodles
of political parties out there. Many have a unique plat-
form that sets themselves apart from the typical "meat
and potatoes" parties, like Republicans.
For instance, we found the Pansexual People Party
(PPP). Their credo is "The primary purpose of the PPP
is to promote positive political progress and partner-
ship through prurient propaganda. Their platform in-
cludes budget reform, anti-censorship and most impor-
tantly, the PPP is pro-transvestitism. Along with their
views on gun control and war reform, you can also find
a guide to the multiple male orgasm on theii Web site.
I wonder what Steve Forbes' view on the multiple male
orgasm is? He always looks a little tense.
Of course we came upon numerous marijuana re-
form parties like the Pot Party. I find this party interest-
ing because they have two candidates already running
for nomination. I'm voting for Nathaniel Brown be-
cause not only does he agree with my views on gun
control, but he received "High Times Bong-of-the-
Month award in 1994.
ODB and I didn't look at some political parties' Web
sites because of their oxymoronic titles?like the Free-
dom Socialist Party or the Democratic Socialist Party.
How could you be free or democratic, if you have to
wait in a line for your state-rationed bread every week?
Also there is the Utopian Anarchist Party. If you vote
for an anarchy, wouldn't that still be considered a de-
mocracy?
ODB and I came to the conclusion that the major-
ity of the parties have already given out nominations
for the presidency. In order for a successful LaradoBas-
tard 2000 run for the White House, we had to resurrect
an inactive party that we both agreed on: the Free Pony
and Ice Cream Party. In '96, their candidate for presi-
dent was a parakeet named Bob. They have scientific
research that backs their claim that millions of Ameri-
cans love ponies and ice cream. If ODB and I joined
this party we would be shoo-ins if we stick to party
promises.
So vote for LaradoBastard and every family can re-
ceive a free pony (weight and color at our discretion)
and free ice cream on every third Friday (ice milk and
fat free also available).

Over this past weekend, I viewed some little im-
ages that have left an indelible mark upon my im-
pressionable little brain. After a long, hard night down-
town having a good time with my sister and some of
her friends, I waited patiently in front of Cubbies for
my ride to come and pick up me and my friends.
It just so happened that this very night was the.
holy grail of Rave parties at the Sports Pad. Literally
hundreds upon hundreds of people lined the streets
for nearly a block and a half so they could take part in
what I'm sure must have been a helluva party. But
what struck me so profoundly was the manner in
which these people had prepared themselves for the
event. I saw a cross-section of ravers, from the regular
guy in cargo pants and American Eagle shirt to the
girl with see-through glass platform shoes and pink
hair with so many piercing that it would take her hours
to get through an airport metal detector.
The scene disturbed me. Make no bones about it, I
like raves. The lights and beating music can put you
in some sort of trance that is truly a treasure in its
own right, but I draw the line when I see people smear-
ing Vicks' Vapo-Rub on the inside of surgeon's masks
so they can inhale the fumes to get a rush. What does
Homer Simpson say when he does something stuoid7
DOH! v
The same people doing this are already rolling (for
you professors and parents out there, this means tak-
ing ecstasy.) Now, I don't claim to be the smartest guy
in the world but mixing huffing and X can't be the
most beneficial thing you can do to your body. That
brings me to the whole drug thing. WHY? WHY7
WHY?
I was always raised to believe that the body is a
temple that God gave us to preserve and experience.
Maybe I'm not perfect in taking care of my body, but
drugs just seem stupid. Most people out there have
done some herb and that plant is one thing, but co-
caine? Special K? What are you thinking? These drugs
are slowly killing you from the inside where you cannot
see it.
How does the old saying go? What you can't see can't
hurt you? DOH! Maybe this isn't comparable but right
now, my hearing is slowly deteriorating. A decade of
abuse by ear infections and obscenely loud music have
made them about 65 percent scar tissue and the fluid
build up is nothing short of amazing. I'm just two de-
cades old but if the hearing doesn't get better, I'm look-
ing towards a life of making Miracle Ear my Jesus Christ.
All those drugs are doing the same thing to your
bodies. They slowly eat away at you until one day you
realize you can't hear certain tones and that cd you love
so much doesn't quite sound the same. No wait, that's
me. Drugs still suck though. Why take a drug when you
can do the same thing naturally.
I don't know about you but when some urban, jungle
or techno comes on, it just lifts me away into a pulsat-
ing world full of bumblebees and candy canes. I can
probably imitate any drug in existence by just training
my mind to do it naturally. Try it some time. Instead of
rolling, just keep dancing. While dancing, tilt your head
back and close your eyes. Let your whole body become
one with the sounds. You'll find that after just a few
seconds, you'll be able to predict the changes in the
music and go with the flow, entirely without drugs.
You may not believe it, but I would give my own life
to ensure that all of you lived to be a hundred so you
could experience the joys of life without having to spend
money on rehab and methadone. I care about each and
every one of you and it pains me to no end to see you
killing yourselves like this.
Drugs ain't cool folks. I'm not trying to be an over-
protecting dad or nothing but just turn it down next
time. The more you don't do it, the easier it is to live
without it.

OPINION COLUMN
University faculty, staff should get dibs on parking I
Chris Sachs
OPINION COLUMNIST
I try to stay away from articles about parking be-
cause the situation is old news, it sucks, and it is not
likely to change. Students are willing to yell about
parking to anyone who will listen?and I try to never
listen. But as of recently, professors have been express-
ing their opinions about parking and all the hassles
they have to endure. We students are not the only
ones getting hosed.
I refuse to buy a parking sticker. I know spaces are
rare and I don't want to stress myself out driving 45
minutes to find a spot. I park far away and I walk. I
used to park at Darryl's but the situation there has
gotten out of control. Students have found ways to
pack cars in there in such a way that they defy funda-
mental laws of physics and geometry. So I gave up. I
walk long distances and I don't mind anymore. It al-
lows me slow down and gives me time to think. But
that's me. Now with all the construction and deci-
sion-making going on about parking, professors are
being forced to walk long distances as well.
Now the thought of some of my professors having
to park in Kinston and trudging it to work is a fun
fantasy to have, but in reality it's unfair. How would
you like to get hired to' work when you graduate and
be told you have to park a 15 minute walk away to get
to work? You would hate it and you would complain.
And that is what ECU professors have done. But the
complaints have fallen upon deaf ears. That is because
they were yelling at the decision maker's cars while
they drove by them in the street on the way to their
cushy parking spaces.
Camus had it all wrong about the myth of
Sisyphus. The benighted king of Corinth endlessly
rolling that rock up a hill in Hell is not symbolic of
life, just parking at ECU. Surely there is some answer
that we can all agree to.
Now I know students will hate me on this matter,
but hey, that's why it's an opinion column. I think
the students should have to park far away, walk or
take the shuttles to classes, not professors. Now be-
fore you all burn me in effigy and call my mother
vulgar names hear me out.
As of today they're about 1,600 parking spaces On
campus. There about 1,100 faculty and about 500 staff
employed here. There are just enough parking spaces
for each and every person that works for ECU. I think
the professors should have full and complete access to
all those spots. It's the professors and staff that have to
be here all day for their jobs. Students get to go home
for lunch, take off and do some errands for a few hours,
or maybe have only one or two classes, whatever. But
professors and staff hold longer hours that they must be.
here, many have to stay late and many have to come in
at night to do work.
But the upper administration wants the professors-
to take a proposed shuttle service for off campus park- j
ing. Parking and Transportation Services (PTS), in their j
infinite stupidity, have worked with the upper adminis-
tration and hired Chance Management, a consultation
firm, to study the parking problem.
What a waste of money. We have a campus filled
with brilliant teachers and researchers who can easily
solve this problem with a little brain storming for free,
yet we now have to pay for some biased firm to come
and tell us what they already decided: A parking shuttle
is what the school needs. This idea falls somewhere in
between worth-little and worthless. It is a logistical night-
mare and it will never work.
PTS has answered professors concerns about late
nights when the shuttle services stop. They say that they
will be able to call and be picked up. They have given
an option of three numbers professors can call for rides,
the last one being the police. The police! Yeah, call the
police to get a chauffeur-driven ride to your parked car
two miles away. That makes sense. Some girl is getting
gang raped by Klan biker members and Mango the cop "
is away driving some nervous professor back to their
Honda.
Now I know not all professors work late (some barely
work at all), but if this school is to really grow and be
taken seriously, then they darn well should ?This
column will continue in next week's TEC?

As the sounds of "Spain" float
out of the Fletcher Music Building
one Friday afternoon, Carroll
Dashiell, director of jazz studies, re-
hearses with the ECU jazz band.
Many Greenville residents have
begun listening to jazz, and the
popularity of the music shows in

the number of business that now
feature jazz as well as the increased
profit margin for those that do.
In the past year, The Jewish
Mother has started featuring jazz
musicians. Staccato's and Mesh Cafe
also feature jazz groups on a regular
basis. The residents of Greenville
have been exposed to more jazz
than ever now because of these non-
ECU affiliated businesses opening
their doors to the music. Staccato's
business improves when the bands
come.
"Our business does seem to in-
crease a little when we have the jazz
bands come said Eva McKeel, as-
sistant manager at Staccato's. "We
have had Paul's Tardiss, Adrian
Duke, We Three and Joe Distesano
perform and on an average night
they come we will probably have a

Valentine's Day began
as fertility festival
Susan Wright
FEATURES EDITOR
In 469 AD, Valentine's Day
was set to commemorate the
death of St. Valentine, the pa-
tron saint of lovers and epi-
lepsy. Now, people celebrate the
holiday in a variety of ways.
In Greenville, there are ac-
tivities for
both

and couples.
St. Valen-
tine died in
269 AD for
protecting
Christian
martyrs after
torture. He
died at the
hands of Em-
p e r o r
Claudius II on
Feb. 14. Origi-
nally, St. Val-
entine was
age to the wolf deity Lycaeus. She
was the mother of Romulus and
Remus, the founders of Rome.
This day was a fertility festival,
and the Catholic Church added
the pagan tradition into the ob-
servance of St. Valentine's Day.
Thus, St. Valentine became the
patron saint of lovers as well.
Since Valentine's Day wa's
incoprporated into the calea-
dar, people have used it as
a time to celebrate those
who they love, espe-
cially their signifi-
cant other.

Dear Marjorie,
Do you have any suggestions for pager eti-
quette? If I page someone repetitively, and then
they page me back, but I get their page and don't
have anyone to call but their pager, what do I do?
I hate playing pager tag but sometimes it seems as
if there is no other way to get in touch with people.
?Perturbed about Pagers
Dear Perturbed,
There are documented sources for telephone
etiquette, dining etiquette and classroom etiquette,
but there are none that address pager etiquette. I
understand your frustration with playing pager
tag. Personally, I would go by the same rules that
one adheres to for telephones. If you have already
called them once, don't call again unless they call
you. True, the tedium of pager tag could go on
forever, but at least you will be playing by the rules.
Always try to get an actual phone number that
connects to an answering machine. That might
end the silly game of pager tag sooner.
Dear Marjorie,
I have been dating my boyfriend for about a
year. The other day, however, I was walking across
campus and 1 saw this guy who just exuded this
incredible sexual energy. I had to have him. He
looked at me, and we ran Into the library and had
sex on the copier machines. Did I do something
evil and wrong, or is that just a part of human
sexuality?
?Puzzled and Passionate
Dear Puzzled,
Depending on your age and your boyfriend's
age, one of you may be nearer to your sexual peak
and this may be causing a rift In your relation-
ship. A man peaks at approximately 19 years of
age and a woman peaks in her early 30s, so age
plays a role in sexual compatibility. What matters
more than the wild fling with this random man Is
the fact that you were emotionally and physically
unfaithful to your steady boyfriend. There are
women who would give their right arm for a good
and loving man (I know quite a few), and you
threw that all away for five minutes of passion I
sincerely hope that it was worth it, because you ?
may have lost one of the best things you had be-
cause of your infidelity.

Dashiell and the music department have brought

them to have fun with the music. ?
"Everybody's part is really insignificant unless it all

Arizona balloonist to try circling world alone
SCOrrSDALE, Ariz. (AP)?Balloonist Kevin Uliassi
knows a Swiss team was the first to circle the world in
a balloon. He wants to be the first to do it alone.
Uliassi was sidelined a year ago by bad weather and
international politics when Bertrand Piccard and Brian
Jones succeeded in 19 days. He also was foiled in 1997
and 1998.
Now recharged and supported by enough sponsors,
Uliassi is ready to try floating into history again?this
time, solo.
Typically, around-the-world balloon attempts are
made by teams of triree.
"To me, the appeal is I don't have to worry about
the other person Uliassi said. "It makes everything
so much simpler. For other people they identify with
that, especially when it's an ordinary person.
"But you can't really say why it's important. Some
people think it's just plain silly. People don't see b'al-
loons as rational things like airplanes.
"if I can do this, it may have some meaning to
people who are interested in the sport he added.
Uliassi, 36, was planning to take off as early as the
wee hours of Sunday depending on the weather. But
on Saturday, according to his website, the launch was
called off for the time being because of unfavorable
weather patterns.
In a 160-foot balloon named J. Renee, for his wife,
he would lift off on his 20,000-mile journey from a
stone quarry near Rockford, III in a town called Loves
Park. He'll rise to about 30,000 feet for what he expects
to be a journey of 18 to 20 days.
The J. Renee will be on autopilot when Uliassi sleeps,
and he'll be in contact with medical advisers should
he get sick at such high altitudes.
"You have to force yourself to drink water he said.
"It's not a natural craving when you're at altitude

STAFF WRITER
In ECU's up and down basket-
ball season one thing has been con-
stant- Neil Punt. The senior forward
has brought his game to the next
level in his final season at ECU.
As Pirate basketball gears up for
the CAA tournament this week with
a three-game road swing against
William & Mary, Richmond and Old
Dominion, senior forward Punt
looks to his experience to lead the
way.
"We are less likely to give up, we
realize that we still have a chance
Punt said when asked to compare
this year's Pirate team to previous
ones.
The consensus among the play-
ers as to the reason for the renewed
devotion is coach Bill Herrion, and
the revamped coaching staff.
"They have worked very well
with all of the players said senior
Garrett Blackwelder.
"I'm enjoying this season much
more than last Punt said. "The
coaching staff allows us new oppor-
tunities
A major plus for the Pirates this
season has been the marked im-
provement of Punt's game. Punt at-
tributes his improvement to off-sea-
son weight training, running and
pick up ball. Punt also praises the
personal coaching that the players
receive in the preseason.
"It helps us develop specific ar-
eas of our own games Punt said.
"Neil is the type of player that
coaches love to have Herrion said.
"I wish I had him returning for three
more years
"He's our go-to guy
Blackwelder said. "He's done a lot
of work to earn that position. He is
definitely an inside presence, and a
proven scorer
Punt is a 6'8" senior from
Chanhassen, Minn. He finished
third all-time in scoring at his high
school, with over 1,300 points.
Throughout his college career, Punt
has seen a somewhat limited play-
ing time, due in part to a broken
foot.
, Off the court Punt has many
hobbies including rollerblading and
watching the X games. He and his
wife, Karen, have their son, Chase,
to keep them busy. Following gradu-
ation Punt would love to work with
the State Patrol investigating insur-
ance fraud.
"I'd rather not put all my eggs
in one basket Punt said after say-
ing how he'd love to play pro.
Neil Punt and the Pirates con-
tinue their road toward the CAA
tournament with their next home
game on Feb. 19 against VCU.

Pirates blank Blue Devils
OPINION COLUMN
Football schedule
offers quality once again
?t F.CU took on Duke Monday af-
ternoon at Harrington Field to
open the 2000 season.
The Pirates beat the Devils 5-0
with ECU pitchers Foye Minton
and Davey Penny combined for a
no-hikw. The Pirates did not allow
a Blue Weevils baserunner until the
fifth inning when Duke's Larry
Broadway reached base on an er-
ror. Minton pitched through the
eighth inning. Penny came into
the ninth to keep the no-hitter
intact.
The no-hitter is Minton's sec-
ond as a Pirate. He no-hit N.C.
State in his first outing last season.
"It's pretty hard to believe that
Minton could come out and work
a no-hitter again for the second
year in a row said Head Baseball
Coach Keith I.eClair.
The Pirates scored four runs in
the first inning. F.CU tacked on an-
other run in the seventh to finish
with five runs.
"Overall this was a good win
for us to start the year with
I.eClair said.

on in the ninth to preserve the Pirates'

SPORTS EDITOR
So, what are you going to be
doing on Sept. 7? If you're a fan of
Pirate football you'll be in Ficklin
watching F.CU take on Virginia Tech
in ECU's home opener.
ECU'S 2000 football schedule
was released last week and the
Thursday night match up with the
Hokies was the game that garnered
the most attention. The game will
be nationally televised on ESPN and
will feature two of the most inter-
esting teams from last season.
The Hokies went 11-0.en route
to a Sugar Bowl match up with even-
tual National Champion, Florida
State. Tech had an offense that fea-
tured the nation's most exciting
player, Michael Vick. Vick will come
into the 2000 season as a favorite
for the Heisman and the game
against ECU may be one of his first
chances to impress the voters.
ECU's season kicks off with a
date with Duke in Durham. ECU
easily disposed of the Devils when
the two teams met in Greenville in
September of last year.
The Pirates will then return
home to face Virginia Tech on
Thursday night. The game against
the Hokies will also represent the
first of three match ups with teams
from the Big East on the docket. The
Pirates will also tangle with Syracuse
later in the month and West Vir-
ginia in November.
ECU will then face two more
opponents at home, Tulane and
Syracuse, and have a by-week before
heading West to Memphis for a tilt
with the Tigers. The game with
Memphis starts a stretch where ECU
faces five straight conference oppo-
nents.
ECU then returns home for a
contest with Army, before traveling
to Louisville to take on the Cardi-
nals.
ECU then has back-to-back
home games with conference foes,
UAB and Houston. The Houston
game will be the home finale for the
Pirates.
To end the season, ECU will
have a tough road swing that in-
cludes visits to West Virginia and C-
USA champ, Southern Miss on
Thanksgiving weekend. The South-
ern Miss game will be a rematch of
the conference's best game of 1999.
The Pirates will face the best of
C-USA. They will take on the other
two bowl teams from the confer-
ence, Southern Miss and Louisville.
The 2000 schedule will be com-
petitive. While it does not contain
N.C. State or North Carolina, it does
offer the Pirates several chances to
sell out home games aVid showcase
their program.
Of their 11 games, five have a
chance to be nationally televised.
The home games with Virginia Tech
and Syracuse, as well as the match
up with West Virginia will be shown
on ESPN or ESPN2. The games with
conference foes, Louisville and
Southern Miss will be shown on Fox
Sports Net.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)Australian
Open champion Andre Agassi with-
drew from the Sybase Open on Tues-
day because of a lower back strain.
"Everybody here knows it's a
great disappointment for the tour-
nament said Jim Courier, who had
11 service aces in a 6-3, 6-4 victory
over Eric Taino.
"He's the biggest draw in the
game, and he's playing the best ten-
nis of his career Courier said of
Agassi.
Agassi reported cramps while fly-
ing to San Francisco from Zimbabwe,
where he helped the United States
to a 3-2 first-round victory in the
Davis Cup.
He arrived in San Francisco on
Monday and attempted to work out
at the San Francisco Tennis Club on
Tuesday afternoon. After his work-
out, he had severe back pain.
"I talked with Andre directly and
he expressed disappointment
Barry McKay, the tournament direc-
tor said. "We're all disappointed
It was at the Sybase Open in
1998 where Agassi defeated then-
No. 1 Pete Sampras in the final to
begin his comeback to the No. 1
ranking. Agassi has won the tour-
nament four times, all in the 1990s.
Agassi will be replaced in the
main draw by Scott Humphries.
Sampras was seeded No. 1 last
year when he withdrew from the
tournament in the semifinals be-
cause of a left ankle injury.
Third-seeded VTnce Spadea with-
drew because of right shoulder in-
flammation. He was replaced by
Xavier Matisse, who beat Richard
Fromberg 7-6 (5), 0-6, 6-4.
Fourth-seeded Michael Chang
beat Paradorn Srichaphan 7-5, 6-4.
Magnus Larsson, Cedl Mamilt and
Paul Goldstein also opened with
victories.
Larsson beat Martin Rodriguez
6-2, 6-1, Mamiit defeated Julian
Alonso, 6-4, 6-4, and Goldstein
topped James Blake 6-3, 7-6 (4).
No. 2 Mark Philippoussis, the

THE PLAN TO STOP SMOKING
ATLANTA (AP)?After interviewing all the passen-
gers in the limousine that fled the scene of two post-
Super Bowl slayings, a lawyer for All-Pro linebacker Ray
Lewis still doesn't know who held the knife.
But he says one thing's for sure ? it was not his
client.
"We're all hearing one voice ? Ray was not involved
in knifing anybody or attacking anybody said Lewis'
lawyer, Don Samuel to The Associated Press on Mon-
day. "We have not interviewed the driver, but everyone
else says Ray wasn't the one
Samuel said that he and other defense lawyers and
investigators have interviewed all six men, including
Lewis. He would not release the names of the other limo
passengers.
The Sun in Baltimore reported Monday that limo
driver Duane Fassett, 51, told police that Lewis threw at
least one punch in the fight that resulted in the two
deaths a week earlier.
The affidavit police used to obtain the arrest war-
rant against Lewis cited an unidentified witness who
said Lewis participated in the "punching, beating and
stabbing" of the two men.
Lewis, middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens,
is in the Atlanta Detention Center on murder charges
stemming from the deaths of Jacinth "Shorty" Baker
21, and Richard Lollar, 24, both of Decatur. His bond
hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14.
Atlanta police have said they were looking to inter-
view two men thought to have been in the limo?
former University of Maryland football player AJ.
Johnson and Kwame King, a friend of Lewis.
Johnson, who says he was at home in Laurel Md
over Super Bowl weekend, said Sunday that Atlanta
investigators had interviewed him.
Samuel said the defense team has interviewed more
than 30 people, and accounts as to what happen vary
wildly. r '
"We've heard everything from it was a war zone
and there was fighting everywhere to that there were
four total involved, including the two victims Samuel
said.

Atlanta and Baltimore County
police also searched Lewis' home in
suburban Baltimore early Monday.
Atlanta police spokesman John
Quijleyconfirmeda search warrant
was executed, but would not say
what police were looking for or
wha was confiscated. Officers could
be sfen carrying large plastic con-
tainers from the home and loading
a computer into a van.
Atlanta television station WSB-
TV reported Monday that investiga-
tors also visited The Sports Author-
ity location in Duluth where Lewis
held an autograph session the day
before the Super Bowl.
The store sells hunting knives,
and previously published reports
have said that receipts for knives
were found in Lewis' hotel room,
but the store was not known.
Police and store officials would
not comment on what was asked or
answered at the store.

Meanwhile a lawyer for Fassett,
the limo driver, said his client
should not be seen as "a star wit-
ness against Ray lewis
"He's told police what he saw
said,David Irwin. "And he's told
police what he didn't set
Irwin would .jot cbmrrSlnt on
what Fassett told police. But he said
Fassett has periodically driven for
Lewis over the past year and is
"friendly" with the 24-year-old
player.
"He's very distraught about the
trouble that has befallen Ray Irwin
said.
Irwin would ;not comment on
previous reports that knives and
blood were found in the limo.
Samuel said Fassett might have
seen Lewis trying to break up the
fight , ?
"We don't know what his van-
tage point was orivhat he actually
saw Samuel said.
He also said that the fact that
someone shot at the fleeing limo
and that bullet holes were evident
in the vehicle means someone other
than the victims might have been
involved in the fight.

Entertainment Editor
Way back in the early to
mid-70s, Greenville was a
completely different entity to
the ECU student. Back then,
the massive, national retail
chains and outlets that dot the
areas surrounding campus did
not exist and Greenville
Boulevard was just three lanes
of unfettered road (kind of hard
to believe now). The town was
just that: a town. The "City of
Greenville" was years away and
the university was pretty much
the biggest thing going.
Highway 264 was a two-
lane stretch of desolate space
that led right into the heart of
the city, which was, for better
or worse, the ECU campus. The
legal drinking age was still 18,
the war was raging and with
that brought notions of the
male college student desper-
ately trying to maintain good
status so he wouldn't have to
be sent off to die in someone
else's war.
The air was different
then. It was a nervous, yet
excited air and downtown
Greenville was right there to
cater to the college kids' need
for entertainment and distrac-
tion from the world around
them.
Many of ECU's current
students had parents here at
about that time and trust me,
from what I found out, they
had it a lot better then than we
do now, as far as downtown
goes. It is pretty much a crap
shoot to decide where to start.
So much has changed in
Greenville over the last 25 years
that it truly was an undertaking
in futility to track down every
bit of info on every downtown
establishment over the last
couple of decades. So I'm going
to try to narrow it down to the
interesting stuff.
Each and every building
downtown has seen a remark-
able array of different busi-
nesses, and many have come
and gone with the passage of
time. The Cellar has seen some
of the most dramatic changes
over the years, from being a
quiet eatery to the dance haven
it is now. From the late '60s to
early 70s, the building has
housed about five different
establishments, all owned and
maintained by various mem-
bers of the Saleed family.
When It comes to
downtown Greenville, you
don't have to look too far to
find an establishment that a
particular family didn't have a
hand in maintaining or
running. Back in the '60s, the
Saieeds were the first ones to
bring pizza to Greenville. They
even supplied pizzas to the
campus for a spell of time. The
Cellar was actually a Chevy
dealership before the Saieed
family came into the picture.
Before it was turned into
The Cellar, the building served
as a restaurant called Fiddlers
III. Jolly Rogers Disco took over
the building during the mid-
'70s disco craze, which later
became Rafters, a rock 'n' roll
bar. After that, the building was
turned into Bogies, a theme
restaurant and bar, before
finally becoming The Cellar
that it is now. In fact, there are
about 400 squares left over
from the disco days that are
individually lit just like the
dance floor from Saturday
Night Fever. Believe it or not,
the owner is thinking about
bringing it back out if the
demand is high enough.
Another downtown
mainstay that just recently
relocated to the collection of
shops by the Harris Teeter on
Charles Boulevard Is Scully's.
Specializing in eclectic material
and used music, the owners
had maintained a downtown
presence since approximately
1981, when it was located in
the BW-3's courtyard in a
building that has since burned
down. Known as Quicksilver
ofStkMuimeM
RoSerVamrnererT SP?rtS ? ,0Cati0n? bBf0re B?S bMt-(photo cour,e$!l
to bet you a thousand bucks
you'd never guess the building
used to be a horse stable. Go
figure.
Back before the drinking
age was 21, the bars would
have Happy Hours from about
4 p.m6 p.m. that the college
kids used to attend after their
classes got out. The students
would go in the afternoon to
drink and socialize, then go
1958 - 5th Street from the future Alfredo's, (photo

Records, it was mainly a music
shop but also catered to other
interests. At the same time, the
owners maintained Eponymous
Books?Progressive Reading For
The Unfettered Mind before
Barnes and Noble came in and
squashed most of the book-
stores in the downtown area
and across town. I'd be willing
home and sober up and come
back at night when the bars'
late shift worked. Can you
imagine doing that today?
Some more points of
interest: Alfredo's II used to be a
head shop called Pipe Dreams,
specializing in "tobacco
accessories (aka bongs and
bowls). The business was
booming in those days until
the governor's office got
involved and squashed that
idea. For more on Pipe Dreams,
check out 1998's edition of
ECU's annual arts publication
The Rebel for a personal
account of it. Also, the location
that now houses Chico's was
called Jason's, which was
nothing more than a regular
hang-out for the college crowd
that had cheap sandwiches and
good beer on tap. BW-3's was
formerly a Belk's department
store.
Probably the biggest,
most well-known downtown
establishment in Greenville
was The Elbo Room. We all '
know about The Elbo
from our orientation
days, but how many
of you know that it
was still in the same
location in 1970? It
hasn't moved or
renamed Itself in 30
years?up until a few
weeks ago, that is. It
is now Cabana's, a
retro and top 40
dance club. From
what I understand, it
is a pretty nice place.
The music scene
hasn't changed much
over the years. The Attic,
Greenville's most popular and
longest lasting name In music,
has withstood the test of time.
After existing in Its present
location for a few years after its
initial opening, it moved to a
building that burned to the
ground not long after it moved
In. After that, It returned to the
present locale and has been
there ever since. It has seen
numerous major acts pass
through its doors. From the
Pointer Sisters to Widespread
Panic to Jeff Foxworthy, the
possibility of seeing a major
talent in the making at The
Attic is pretty much a given.
Some buildings have
humorous histories. Backdoor
used to be called Super Ego,
which was a hair salon and
barber shop. Tiki Bar was
formally a Goodyear Supply
store and The Sports Pad was
Leder Brothers, a clothing store.

Uvt?9 In the PAST
Students get a taste of
life in the trenches
D. Miccah Smith
FH Assistant Editor
It's cold outside, but you're sweating, tense, kneeling in a
crude trench cut out of the
earth. You're in a forest; gray
winter trees have been dragging
at your skin and clothes all day
as you march through a rural
area lugging an old-fashioned
rifle, the unfamiliar heaviness
of the weapon weighing your
shoulder down. You're tired
from digging and crouching
and running, but all you can do
now is peer over a mound of
earth, rifle loaded, and hope
you can squeeze off a shot at
your enemies before they
attack.
Suddenly, a figure darts
out from behind a bush. You
brace your rifle, but he shoots
first. You jerk back, then slump
into the damp dirt at the
bottom of the trench, eyes
closed. You hear the crunch of
boots on mulch as the enemy
walks over to have a look at
you.
"Good game he says.
"Now, it's our turn to defend
Welcome to the rough-and-
tumble world of war re-
enactment, a living time
machine of sorts for those with
minds?and bodies?tough
enough to give the gorier parts
of history another shot.
The American obsession
with war has created a new
pastime: the art of meticulously
recreating uniforms, combat
units and battlefield scenes
from history's most docu-
mented conflicts.
Groups from all over the
country train like soldiers and
spend countless dollars on
authentic uniforms (called
"impressions") and weaponry.
They converge on a single point at a single moment in time,
usually for a weekend, where they recreate a specific point in war
history together.
To a younger generation raised on Rambo movies, skilled at
comparing "Apocalypse Now" to "Saving Private Ryan" and
mesmerized by unreal portrayals of the kind of full-scale war
they're likely never to encounter, re-enactment is surprisingly
addictive. A small group of die-hard ECU re-enactors lives for its
brutal shock.
Senior political science major Andy Vincent calls re-enact-
ments "a perfect chance to learn history He's been involved in
re-enactments, mostly of the World War II persuasion, for two
years.
"When you're in the event and you're in the woods for an
entire weekend with 200 people, all of the same era, everyone is
trying to recreate history Vincent said. "You really start to believe
that you're a part of it. People avoid any references to the real
world
Re-enactors delve into a small, concentrated moment in
history, aligning themselves with a particular army and living in
the frenzy of a pitched battle for the weekend, using authentic
firearms or replicas to fire blanks above each other's heads during
combat. They get an education about war that books could never
show them.
"I like the action part said Luke Sanders, 25, who majored
in Spanish. "It's fun. Instead of going to class, you go out in a
field, and you pick up a gun and you shoot at people You learn
a lot about history and culture, and you get to participate in an
active way
Senior history major Kevin Treadway currently leads a unit
of three or four re-enactors in a series of drills, practice runs and
work sessions on a rural tract of land 20 minutes outside
Greenville. With his help, they are meshing into a historically
accurate group capable of holding their own in some large-scale
re-enactments this year.
Most wars, especially those in the distant past, pose expen-
sive challenges to re-enactors on college students' budgets. Making
or purchasing a perfect "impression" requires money and luck.
That's why the ECU group sticks to World War II. Their army of
choice? Russian.
"It's the cheapest said Treadway, who enjoys portraying a
World War H-era Russian. "You can get a decent impression for
around $150
"The Russian army basically destroyed some of the best
German formations during the war Treadway said. "The Eastern
front was a big meat-grinder for the German army
The Russian army is also a convenient choice for Lisa O'
Donnell, a senior computer science major. Since Russia was the
only army during the war, and throughout most of history, to
actually employ female soldiers during combat, she, unlike most
female re-enactors, needs not disguise her femininity on the
battlefield.
O' Donnell says the feeling is "liberating and empowering.
There is nothing like being in
uniform, holding a rifle and
knowing that you're authentic,
being a woman in uniform,
holding a rifle and shooting at
Nazis
Treadway, who has re-
enacted World War I and the
Revolutionary and Civil Wars,
is a veteran to the very real
emotions shared by re-enactors,
a wave of experience that
probably draws more "soldiers"
than anything else.
"It's a fairly safe but
intense environment that
creates a remarkably accurate
view of combat Treadway
said. "When you're in a forest,
and several guys outfitted as
Germans open-fire on you with
machine guns, your mind tells
you that they're just blanks, but
your emotions scream, 'Fight or
flight' and dump adrenaline
into your system. It's an
incredible high
Although quite popular
with re-enactors, World War-II
is only a plot point on a time
line. If a battle was fought, it's
re-enactment fodder for some
dedicated group. Unbeknownst
to most Americans, the United
States is a vast playground for
the re-enactors, who tear
through fields and forests from
Pennsylvania to Oregon to
Ohio, girded in everything
from Medieval armor to
Vietnam-era camouflage. Across
the pond the mania is just as
apparent. Not even Ireland or
Top- re-enactors march in
full battle gear
Bottom- pretend Germans

Pums. (file photos)
Wales are safe from stem-
faced Roman armies and
bands of Celts waving battle-
axes.
Nonetheless, realism
and respect for war are at the
heart of re-enactment, and if
it's done right, it contains
some of the essence of war
that so fascinates our genera-
tion. A battle can become
real; a college student can
become a soldier for one day.
"If you allow yourself
to fully participate, you
realize the horror Vincent
said. "You literally stop
having a future. You're just in
the battle

enacting, contact Kevin

Bigger models strut new lingerie
NEW YORK (AP) - For years,
supermodel Kate Dillon starved
herself to be thin. Then she got
fed up. She started eating and
stopped working as a "skinny
model
Today, the 5-foot-ll-
inch, 175-pound Dillon is
showing off revealing lingerie
on the runway as part of
retailer Lane Bryant's effort to
kick off Cacique - its new line
of plus-size lingerie and
sleepwear.
Lane Bryant, which
already carries plus-size cloth-
ing, hopes to make an impres-
sion with its thongs, plunging
lace bras and sleepwear for
women sized 14 to 28.
The national chain publicized a
Wednesday night Webcast of its
"intimate runway show" in
major newspapers and trade
publications. Its ads featured
generously proportioned
women stripping down to their
underwear, and the words: "Big
girls take back the night
The runway show, held
Tuesday in New York, included
the likes of former Playboy
Playmate of the Year Anna
Nicole Smith, actress Kathy
Najimy of the NBC show
"Veronica's Closet" and Mia
Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith's
Steven Tyler. Before and after
the show, movies of women
posing seductively blanketed
the walls of the packed studio.
Like most lingerie
runway shows, this one had
models, most close to 6 feet
tall, strutting to the beat and
sporting garter belts, bustiers,
camisoles and see-through
nightgowns.
But unlike those typically
seen on television and in
magazines, some of these
models had cellulite and stretch
marks.
"They are very sexy, even
if they are bigger said audi-
ence-member Corrado Speziali.

been the norm until recently.

The remote just
doesn't seem to be the
gateway to adventure that it
once was. If it weren't for the
Sci Fi Channel's "Farscape
TV would be a wasteland of
reliable comedy and roman-
tic struggle, tempered with
the occasional pro-wrestling
match or all-out-expose on
the latest scandal to hit the
cover of the Inquirer. I am a
connoisseur of television,
and I haven't been excited
by anything in months.
All that changed last
Monday night when I
returned from doing the
laundry to find Eminem and
Dr. Die performing an
incredible rendition of
"Forgot About Ore" on USA.
When they stepped off the
stage to do an interview with
the great Matt Pinfield, I
turned up the volume and
took a seat.
The show is called
"Jimmy and Doug's
Farmclub and it's a modern
piece of artistic genius. The
first of its kind, the program
is a totally interactive
welcome wagon for the new
century.
It all begins on the
Web site, Farmclub.com,
where unsigned bands
upload their songs to a
database. Anyone can log
onto the site,
listen to the
songs and vote
on which
performers
they'd like to
see on the
show. The
winners get a
visit from Matt
Pinfield and a
one-time gig on
the Farmdub
stage, in front of
a TV audience of
millions. The
big winners get
a record deal
too.
In be-
tween the new
acts, Farmclub
schedules
current favorites.
The premiere
included two
energy-charged
performances
from Eminem
and Dr. Dre, as
well as a mushy
version of "I Do
by 98 Degrees,
fueled by scream-
ing girls in the
front row. The
boy band's performance was the
only nod to MTV to interrupt the
tone of the program; it was a little
out of place for a show that seeks
out true musical talent. And
anyone who's heard Pinfield's
Limp Bizkit tirade knows he must
have been slamming his head into
rarmclub.com: the homepage, world wide web photo)
a wall the whole way through
the song.
98 Degrees, in fact, was
the only band he didn't
interview. They got to talk to
the Doritos girl who was in
their video, one of two hot
chicks flanking the Bald Man
during the show. He did sit
down with Eminem and Dre, as
well as the new bands before
they performed and as they left
the stage. It was one long easy-
going discussion about good
music with the man who
knows more about it than
anyone else from MTV land.
The best thing about the
show is its uncensored feel.
Definitely not a program for
the kiddies, hence its late-night
scheduling, musicians are not
made to change their lyrics, no
matter how violent or disgust-
ing. Although heavy cuss words
are silenced, the words are still
allowed to be said onstage, and
the content of the song is never
touched, like the cheesy radio
version of Everlast's "Ends
where we're not even allowed
to hear "smoke" when "weed"
is scratched out.
98 Degrees aside, there is
no foolish MTV act here. This is
all about the music and striving
musicians. Rock bands, singing
DJs, metalheads, punk rock-
ers?it doesn't matter. Someone
has.finally produced music
television worth watching.
Farmclub comes on
Monday nights at 11 p.m. on
USA. I urge you strongly to see
it. If you don't have cable, this,
if repeated showings of "Back
to the Future" isn't enough,
should be reason to get it.
Screw MTV. They've been
overshadowed by something
better.

College students play to eat like a millionaire
PHILADELPHIA (AP)-
"Who Wants to Eat Like a
Millionaire?"
. Dozens of Philadel-
phia college students do,
and were hungry enough to
bring their appetites to
campus Thursday to
compete for a six-course
French meal in a crystal-lit
room surrounded by silk-
covered walls at one of
Philadelphia's best-known
restaurants, Le Bee-Fin.
As a spin off of the
ABC's "Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire students at the
University of Pennsylvania
and Drexel University are
taking advantage of the quiz
craze and organizing their
own version of the show to
help bridge the gaps between the
students at the two West Philadel-
phia campuses.
The campus of Penn, the
city's claim to Ivy League status,
sits just blocks from Drexel, a less
prestigious and $ftiller private
institution. The two school's
crowds rarely mix, students say.
To better school relations, several
student associations are coordi-
nating noncompetitive games to
be held next week.
The "Who Wants to Eat
Like a Millionaire?" game will be
conducted very similar to the
popular TV show but instead of
big cash prizes, the booty will be
gift certificates from nearby
eateries like the corner conve-
nience store or a four-star restau-
rant.
"I'm not particularly a
fan of 'Who Wants to be a
Millionaire?' but we thought
that since the two groups of
students live down the block
from each other and don't
hang out, we would give them
the opportunity to meet said
Jon Herrmann, a 21-year-old
Wharton senior and co-
chairman of Penn's Social
Planning and Events Commit-
tee.
Participants must choose
their prospective dinner date
before they compete for the
show. The person they choose
will also serve as their "phone a
friend" life line, Herrmann said.
Besides that game, student
groups also organized a version
of "The Dating Game" to help
motivate more dating between
the two groups.
. "We wanted to get some
love in the air since Valentine's
Day is coming up said 21-
year-old Jason McRae, president
of the Black Student Union.
He pondered organizing "The
Dating Game" last year, and
finally decided to propose it
after discovering that the TV
show was founded by Drexel
alum Chuck Barris. Winners of
this game will win a dinner and
a movie date.
Dozens of students
registered for the university-
funded games over the Internet
this week, McRae said. Organiz-
ers hope to have about 200
other students gather to watch
the games. "The Dating
Game" will take place at
Drexel's student center on
Feb. 9, and "Millionaire" is
happening at Penn's student
center on Feb. 10.
"For me personally, I
think it sounds kind of
cheesy said Penn history
student Greg jenemann, as he
locked up his bicycle on
campus. "1 already have
friends that go to Drexel, but
for the most part 1 think the
two schools are just different
socially. They're both pretty
closed off from one another

THINGS TO DO IN GREENVILLE
WHEN YOU'RE SOBER
Emily Little
FH Editor
So it's not the most exotic place to spend a
clear-headed evening. But it's free and it's on
campus and I was afraid that if I started with
something more exciting I'd run out of ideas
by March. You probably underestimate the
value of a Mendenhall movie anyway. You
probably don't appreciate the subtleties
of watching a recently-released-to-
video film with a crowd of loud
people who like to throw things and
laugh during the serious parts.
So I went to Hendrix last
Thursday to see Runaway Bride,
to prove to you how exciting the
experience is, but it wasn't really
very exciting. So I'll just talk
about the other times I've been
to Hendrix to see movies over
the years.
It's not like other theaters,
where that one girl keeps talking to her
boyfriend and everybody keeps flashing
her dirty looks but nobody says anything.
There are no expensive popcorn buckets that
10 people couldn't consume or 2-gallon sodas that
make you have to do the mad dash to the bathroom three
times when you think there's a slow part (although the
moment you're gone there will be a major plot twist on
which the entire comprehension of the film hinges. I
know this. I have a small bladder.)
There is, however, The Spot. Here you can buy
candy and soda, both of which you can either throw or
consume?it's up to you. (By throwing soda, I mean you
can suck some up in a straw and then squirt it out at
people.) By the time you've finished the previews, you
can be so full of Raisinets and caffeine that you're too
busy running across the stage naked, screaming, "Look at
me! I'm naked to pay attention to the gradually build-
ing romance that symbolizes man's devotion to his inner
child. The Spot also provides one-stop shopping for all
freshmen who want to use up their declining balance and
gain some of those important 15 pounds at the same
time, although you may work them off again while you
run around naked.
You never go to Hendrix if you actually want to see
a movie. It's kind of like that small party where somebody
put in Howard the Duck just to have something on TV
while everybody talks about how much they hate the
foreign language requirement. Hendrix is more like a
junior version of "Mystery Science Theater 3000 but
with more people. You're basically going to a movie with
all these friends you've never met. One time, my fresh-
man year, we were shown a special preview of Ransom
right before It hit the theaters. Right when Gary Sinese
catches a few bullets to the chest, some guy yelled out, in
his best Forrest Gump: "They shot Lieutenant Dan and
the whole theater exploded in a giant hysterical convul-
sion until nobody could possibly have understood the
dialogue for about 10 minutes. That is Hendrix. That's
FILMS AT HENDRIX
what makes it fun. Those people who don't
shut up, who laugh when the teenagers are
murdered in the prime of their innocent
youth, who make appropriate jokes in the
least appropriate moments?those are the
people who make it all worthwhile. Them
and that girl who sits downstairs and shushes
as loud as she possibly can while the loud
people laugh at her and yell even louder. Then
she gets really mad and starts cussing them out
until they almost get into a fight and the whole
theater can't hear the movie. That's entertain-
ment.
Always go to see an action movie. Explo-
sions are better when accompanied by cheers and
funny comments, especially Lethal Weapon films.
Especially the fourth one, where that Chinese guy
with the rat tail takes a gun apart and knocks
Murtoch and Riggs out with one swift motion. You
know what I'm talking about. You sat open-mouthed in
awe when it happened, too.
Hendrix shows films on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
and Thursdays at 10 p.m or is it Fridays and Saturdays
at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.? Or Thursdays at 7:30
p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 10 p.m.? 1 guess they
show some movies at some time on some day of the
week. Call the Student Union for the times because
frankly, I can never figure out the schedule over there.
The number is 328-4715. Ask for the employee who
answers the phone and tell them I sent you.
