Nanotech heralds a new age
By DAVID HERRING
Assistant News Editor
The human race is pregnant
with the potentials made possible
through nanotechnology, and, like
any mother-to-be must prepare
tor an increase in her responsibili-
Eric Drexler, who conceived
of nanotechnology, presented his
theories to audiences of chemists,
engineers, and physicists, none of
which were able to present rea-
sons why his theories wouldn't
work. And since the late '70s, when
he conceived of nanotech, there
have been developments in sci-
ties, humanity faces the burden of
a tremendously increased capac- ence which he predicted we would
ity for good and evil with the in- make, and which are right on the
ception of this theoretical technol- road to nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology,according to
Christine Peterson of The Fore-
sight Institute, is simply a thor-
ough, inexpensive control over the
structure of matter. In the Feb. 23
edition of The East Carolinian this
reporter discussed means by
which scientists might someday
be able to build nanomachines
(.assemblers) which will offer us
this control.
Based in Palo Alto, CA, The
Foresight Institute was founded
as a non-profit organization to
prepare the public for future tech-
nologies through public policv
discussions, stated Peterson, who
serves on the institutes board of
directors. "We have no choice - it
(nanotechnology) will be devel-
oped sooner or later, somewhere -
if not in the U.S then in another
country' Peterson Meerteti ??
"We must get as manv people
ready as possible, before it arrives,
to determine how we can guide
and develop it best so that every-
one benefits she continued. "We
advocate cooperation among
democratic nations (in the devel-
opment of nanotech) so that the
public will have some control over
how it is used
In a 1?S1 article published by
the National Academy of Science
Drexler predicted we would be
able to design more stable pro-
teins than the ones found in na-
ture and at the time protein engi-
neering wasn't even an existing
field. "There are no physical laws
which prohibit it (nanotechnol-
ogy), merely a lack of informa-
tion' said Peterson. "The assem-
blers would require very advanced
software
But, given these assemblers
and the software to command
them, nanotechnology presents a
technological step comparable to
the invention of the wheel, the
quest for fire, harnessing electric-
ity, etc. "Given fuel, raw materi-
als, and the right instructions,
assemblers will be able to make
virtually anything - including
more of themselves Drexler theo-
rizes.
"Calculations suggest replica-
tion times of about a thousand
seconds, letting a single micro-
scopic replicator produce many
tons of product replicators in a
day or so he continued. "After
reprogramming, these product
replicators could team up to build

Assemblers could rearrange the

The medical implications
alone are staggering. We could
"infect" humans with assemblers
which would serve as an artificial,
and virtually foolproof, immune
system.
The assemblers could iden-
tify and disassemble any harmful
parasite organisms such as bacte-
rium or viruses. Assemblers
would be able to locate and repair
cell damage due to cancer growths.
According to Drexler, such
machines would bring surgical
control to the molecular level,
opening broad new horizons in
medicine. In short, human lifes-
pans could be increased to hun-

Drexler talks of building a tele-

which we could peer into the far
corners of the universe - and who
knows what secrets that would
unravel?
"Nanotechnology will let us
control the structure of matter -
but who will control nanotechnol-

that, equal to marvelous feats for
the ad vancement of mankind, here
is a potential for a great abuse of
power and great evil. "In a com-
petitive world, nanotechnology
will surely be developed.
"If democratic institutions are

Helms, his proposed constitution

Helms said he realizes his
proposal may not be the best solu-

needs to be taken in order to make
the program more functionable.

Illesal aliens seized in Charlotte
ATLANTA (AP) - Federal
immigration agents in Charlotte,
.C, apprehended 27 more sus-
pected illegal aliens on a flight
bound for New York, bringing the
number to 175 seized in a thrce-
day government crackdown on a
suspect alien smuggling ring.
Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service officials in Atlanta,
whose jurisdiction includes Char-
lotte, said the 27 were on Pied-
mont Flight 1522, bound from
Thoenix, Ariz to New York. They
had flown to Phoenix on an Ameri-
can West Airlines flight from Los
Angeleslate Tuesday, the INSsaid.
The 27, who are from Mexico,
Brazil and El Salvador, were taken
off the plane when it made a sched-
uled stop in Charlotte at 7 a.m.
EST. "An irate citizen called our
office this morning and claimed to
be a commuter aboard the Pied-
mont flight said David
Carmichael, supervisory INS
agent in Charlotte. "The source
suggested we check Flight 1522
On Monday, INS agents ap-
prehended 79 suspected illegal
aliens aboard Eastern Airlines
Flight 80, which stops in Atlanta
en route from Los Angeles to New
York. Sixty-nine more aliens were
apprehended in Los Angeles
Mondav night as they attempted
to board the same flight.
"We saw it here (in Atlanta)
and in Los Angeles on Monday,
and now in Charlotte said Tho-
mas P. Fischer, director ofthc At-
lanta INS office. 'They're desper-
ate to unload their human cargo
and have little concern, if any, for
the aliens
INS officials in Los Angeles
said a man believed to be a leader
in the smuggling ring ? Jorge
Guzman-Romero, a 42-year-old
Mexican national ? was arrested
along with the 69 in Los Angeles.
Immigration officials stressed that
several independent smugglers
mav have been using the "red eye"
Hights to ferry illegal aliens to the
East Coast and that the group
arrested in Los Angeles was not
necessanlv linked to those seized
in Atlanta.
"This was a concurrent, par-
allel investigation that will con-
tinue until we close this route. We
suspect there will be other routes
Donald H. Looney, acting district
director of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service in Los
Angeles, said Tuesday.
Authorities said the chief
smuggling operators remain at
large,but thev described Guzman-
Romero as a leader. "We're not as
close as we'd like to be. We'd like
to have (the ringleaders) in hand-
cuffs said Thomas Gaines, INS
assistant district director for anti-
smuggling.
Guzman-Romero was
charged with transporting at least
three illegal aliens. U.S. Magis-
trate Volney V. Brown declined to
set bail Tuesday, saying Guzman-
Romero has no ties to the Los
Angeles area.
Gaines said investigators re-
ceived tips that several groups
used Eastern's late-nighc flight to
New York. "We feel like we have
a number of individual smugglers
who are utilizing a rather low
airfare to move their aliens away
from the border from Los Angeles
and on up to the East Coast
Gaines said at a news conference.
Smugglers often appear early
at the ticket counter and pay cash
for a block of tickets, officials said
The 69 aliens caught in Los Ange-
les allegedly paid up to $4,000 for
a package that probably included
crossing the border, passage to a
drop house and the cross-country
flight, Gaines said.
He said he didn't know if the
package included finding employ-
ment. Fifty-four were from Mex-
ico, seven from El Salvador and
four each from Colombia and
Guatemala, Looney said.
INS spokesman Joe Flanders
said most of the people, if found to
be illegal aliens, would be given
the choice of going home or re-
questing a deportation hearing.
He said some might be held as
material witnesses.
Tom Thomas, a spokesman
for the INS in Atlanta, said thou-
sands of illegal aliens may have
been shuttled across the country
on the Eastern flight nearly every
day for the past 30 days. Gaines
refused to speculateonhow many
illegal aliens may have used the
flights but said the technique is
not new, recalling at least one
sweep in recent years that netted
200 people.
Both Thomas in Atlanta and
Looney in Los Angeles said East-
ern Airlines was not a target of the
investigation. Eastern cooperated
with the INS on the Atlanta ar-
rests, officials said.

OPINION

Art
Is shock value the best method?
An art project about racism
which appeared on the Mall Mon-
day was dismantled the same day it
was put up because some of its
svmbolism was open to misunder-
standing.
The two art students who cre-
ated the scene, Marc Sylvestre and
Victoria Higgins, put two white fig-
ures covered with racist graffiti on
the ground. In front of them hung a
black plaster figure. On a six-foot
banner were written the very words
this campus needed to hear:
"WAKE UP
Granted, the point may have
been missed by those overwhelmed
by the shock value of an exhibit
depicting covert racism, but the art-
ists' expression of disgust toward
serious problems was there for all
who took a closer look at the plaster
figures and banner. People saw in
that project what they expected
ancjor wanted to see. The jnrv&r
was six feet tall. How big did it need
to be? Ten feet? Fifty?
Racial incidents and there-emer-
gence of past controversy have not
only put ECU in the spotlight this
semester, but have also given the
students, faculty, and administra-
tors of this campus a motive to take
an honest look at the attitudes that
exist within themselves. Sylvestre
and Higgins no doubt intended for
their project to reinforce this motive.
True, the project was misconstrued
by those few who saw it ? but it's
questionable whether the admini-
stration handled the issue very well
by dismantling the art by 8 in the
morning.
Ifs thought that the method
must complement rather than
contravene the message. Outra-
geous emotional appeals often
make the listener react defensively,
rather than entice him to re-examine
his beliefs.
Often, but not always. The flip-
side of the issue is that some people
may have reacted angrily, but possi-
bly ? hopefully ? the project
achieved its goal by making them
-Irfink. - If discussion, was aroused
among anyone, then a kind of vic-
tory was achieved. If not, then this
incident was yet another to increase
the already felt tension between and
among races.
Maybe it really is time to WAKE
UP.
Gripe on the Tower
By SCOTT MAXWELL
Editorial C olumnirt
We're in luck! We were trying to get
Mike Royko's conservative chum, Grump,
to pay The East Carolinian a visit. He can't
make it because he's copyrighted, but he
was kind enough to send his close friend
and ideological equal, Gripe.
? ? ?
Hi, Gripe. What's on your mind?
"It's this Tower confirmation fight. I
don't like it ? all those senators, pestering
a fine man like John Tower just because he
drinks and womanizes. What's a little
womanizing, anyway?"
Gee, Gripe, I never thought of it that
way. Imagine ? all those people persecut-
ing poor Tower, and on evidence that's only
about a hundred times more solid than the
evidence that got Gary Hart in so much
trouble.
"Uh, yeah. But what about his drink-
ing? He's taken the pledge to stay off alco-
hol
Yes, and it takes a lot of courage to say
that. But if he's an alcoholic ? and the FBI
reports suggest that this may be the case ?
he won't be able to keep to his pledge, no
matter how well-intentioned. Besides, he's
been nominated for one of the most sensi-
tive positions in the country ? Secretary of
Defense ? and if there are legitimate ques-
tions about his fitness for the job, and there
are, then those questions should be an-
swered.
"Well the Democrats are out to per-
secute Tower ? lining up against him in a
partisan fashion
Maybe. But then, Bob Dole has called
for all Republicans to "rally around the
president" and support the Tower nomina-
tion. In fact, the Republicans are the ones
who turned this into a partisan issue. Plus,
they're the ones who escalated the impor-
tance of the nomination to the point where,
if Bush loses, he faces "the wimp factor"
again but if he wins, it won't be a very
substantial victory, at least not in terms of
PR.
"Yes well look at the economy.
This has been the longest economic recov-
ery in history
Wait a minute, Gripe. Don't you want
to defend John Tower any more?
"Uh, not now; I gotta be going. I just
remembered, uh, I think maybe I'm copy-
righted too
Thanks, Gripe.
Will Mike Steele leave us behind?
To the editor:
1 just had a nightmare. I dreamed
?andlknowitisadreambecauseof
how far-fetched the whole thing is ?
I went to pick up my daily newspa-
per and read in the sports section
that our very own Coach Steele has
been mentioned as a possible candi-
date for a coaching position at Indi-
ana State University. I only wish it
were a dream; unfortunately this is
reality.
I hope and pray that those offi-
cials, namely Dave Hart, who will be
involved in the decision to let Coach
Steele go or not, assuming that it
comes to that point, recognize the
popularity of our basketball coach,
and the importance of keeping him
at this university. Throughout my
four years here at ECU I have been
somewhat of a regular at the basket-
ball games and 1 can tell you first-
hand that Coach Steele has turned
things around for the basketball
program, both internally and
externally. For the first time we have
people on this campus whose favor-
ite team is East Carolina, and not
other schools with more reputable
programs. What this means ts that
we care, and the reason we care is
due to the hope that Coach Steele has
built around what used to be per-
ceived as a hopeless situation. In the
future we now have the potential to
become a recognized power in the
Colonial Athletic Association as well
as within the state in basketball. I do
not think I would be exaggerating to
say that this in turn would provide a
lift for the whole eastern part of the
state, not to mention the revenue that
would be brought in, and the effect
this recognition would have on our
overall athletic program. Even if
Indiana State University does not get
in touch with Coach Steele, this situ-
ation is likely to occur sometime in
the future; the time is now to at least
ponder what kind of sacrifices we
are willing to make to keep fine
coaches at our school, lest they slip
away into the Pat Dye heap of
"things that might have been
The year 1989 will no doubt go
down in history in our athletic pro-
gram. We can' look back and say
"yeah that's the year 1SU almost stole
Mike Steele away from us, wow!
What a difference he's made, can you
imagine ECU basketball without the
'Steele Mill'?" Or will we say,
"Damn, the last time we had a win-
ning season was in 1989. How did wo
ever let that Steele fella go?"
Perhaps the most important ac-
tor 1n this scenario will be Coach
Steele himself. Obviously he is going
to have to make a decision that will be
beneficial to his family as well as his
own career. It is my hope that when
he makes his choice to stay or go that
he also considers the variables I have
mentioned, especially the opportuni-
ties that he himself has created.
Maybe he can look back and say "I'm
glad I stayed

Upset nurse
To the editor:
I was shocked at your portrayal
of nurses in the editorial comic on
Feb. 23,1989. It is sad that even after
years of hard work to build up the
nurses' professional image, one
comic can reverse the process so
much. Society has degraded nurses
long enough. I find it hard to believe
that an institute of higher learning
could and would continue to per-
petuate this antiquated view of
nurses. We are a hard working pro-
fessional group ? here at ECU and
throughout the world. We deserve
respect tor our jobs ? upon which
one day evervones' lives will de-
pend. No longer will we settle for
less. We have worked hard and have
earned it, now we want the respect
we deserve.

First black school head named
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) ?
Thomas Kerns says he felt like
screaming from the top of his lungs
when he became the first black
superintendent of the Greenville
County School District?the larg-
estin the state.
Kerns, who graduated from
an all-black high school in a segre-
gated school system, is the first
black to be elected to the highest
administrative position in the
county school system. The 55-year-
old had held the post on an in-
terim basis since June after former
Superintendent Roy Truby re-
signed.
The unanimous decision by
the school board is the peak of
Kerns' education career ? and it
nearly caused a break in the
administrator's normally reserved
manner. "I really did feel like
breaking down and screaming at
the top of my lungs Kerns said
Tuesday.
While Kems was able to keep
his composure, a telephone call
later to tell his wife the news pro-
duced different results. "She did
scream he said.
Kerns has spent most of his
li fe in Greenville County's schools.
A 1949 graduate of Sterling High
School, Kems left Greenville to
attend Johnson C. Smith Univer-
sity in Charlotte, N.C.
He spent two years in the
Army and then returned to teach
at his high school alma mater ?
and never left. Kems said his
appointment is not just a victory
for Greenville's black community.
He said becoming superinten-
dent serves as an example to all
youngsters in the district by show-
ing people can work hard and stick
to their goals and get to the top.
Getting to the top took a long time
for Kerns, who spent the first 15
years of his career working at an
all-black school in a school system
that maintained dual facilities for
blacks and whites.
But in 1970, when the district
was integrated, Kems became a
rising star. Within a year, he
moved from Sterling to Greenville
High School as assistant princi-
pal.
The next year, he was ap-
pointed assistant director of the
district's personnel department.
In 1972, he became area superin-
tendent for the Central Area
Schools.
Kerns said that's when he
decided to shoot for the superin-
tendent's job. In 1983 he filled one
of the final requirements for the
superintendency, earning his
doctorate at the University of
South Carolina.
He served as the interim su-
perintendent in 1984 after Floyd
Hall left the district, and again
after Truby left. But this time, he
gets to drop interim from in front
of his title.
Kerns said he wants to con-
tinue the quiet times that have
marked his eight months as in-
terim superintendent ? a trend
the district's trustees said was a
major point in choosing him for
the job. "I'm a people superinten-
dent Kerns said.
Kerns has said that he plans to
push for better pay for teachers to
keep the district from losing its
best teachers to higher-paying
neighboring school districts. That,
many people have said, is a reflec-
tion of his understanding of what
it means to be a classroom teacher.

Mentally retarded man flees from state institution,
found frozen to death under bridge after storm
r
l
GREENSBORO (AP) ? Ron-
nie Oliphant liked to travel, but
the mentally retarded man's last
trip took him only about 35 miles
from the Greensboro apartment
where he lived under part-time
county supervision.
Oliphant, 49, was found last
Wednesday, apparently frozen to
death, lying face-up on a piece of
cardboard under a bridge in
Winston-Salem. He had been car-
rying onlv a watch, a key and six
cents.
Eight days before, on Feb. 14,
Oliphant had left his apartment in
the early-morning hours. He was
reported missing to Greensboro
police that morning by a county
staff worker who had come to
check on him and his roommate,
who is also mentally retarded.
Oliphant had been placed in a
county-supervised apartment in
March 1988 after roughly 14 years
in John Umstead Hospital, a state
mental institution in Butner. He
was not supervised full time, even
though he had wandered oti at
least once before.
Joan Vincent, assistant area
director for mental health, mental
retardation and substance abuse
services and Oliphant's legal
guardian, called Oliphant's death
"very, very sad But Kay Rceceof

"We at the time were feeling will review how it supervises
that we would find him in town, mentally retarded people who live
that he would show up Ms. in the community. No county
up,
Vincent said. "We had done eve-
rything with the police, had given
them pictures and did not feel that
we needed to do more than that
Oliphant's roommate said
Oliphant was in the apartment
when he went to bed about mid-
night Feb. 13. But Oliphant was
gone when the roommate awoke
at ,6:45 a.m. Feb. 14. A county
worker who arrived shortly after-
ward notified police just after 8
a.m. that Oliphant was missing.
Ms. Vincent contacted family
members, who suggested that
Oliphant might have headed for
Florida; for Long Beach, NX
where he had once lived; or for
Virginia Beach, Va where a
younger sister lives. That morn-
ings sheltered workshop instruc-
tor who was driving on Interstate

iphant walking along the road,

should have kept a closer eye on
her brother.
"He had a good life in the last
year, but I wish he had been closer
supervised she said. Ms. Reece,
40, also said Ms. Vincent had told
her the county was trying to ar-
range full-time supervision for her
brother but that funding was not
available.
Ms. Vincentdenicd telling Ms.
Reece that, saying that she had
told Ms. Reece only that her
brother was to be moved this week
into a different apartment in the
complex, with a new roommate.
Ms. Reece also criticized Ms. Vin-
UND students to
see 'Sammie and
Rosie Get Laid'
(CPS) ? After weeks of de-
bate and protest, students at the
University of North Dakota will
be able to watch "Sammy and
Rosie Get Laid" after all.
Student President David
Glessner vetoed a student gov-
ernment ban on the film Feb. 5,
clearing the way for the movie to
be shown Feb. 23.
The UND Student Senate
voted 9-8 Jan. 28 to prohibit the
University Program Council from
showing the movie because, al-
though they had not seen the film,
many felt the title would offend
North Dakotans and spur the state
legislature to cut funding to the
school.
"I want UND to appear as an
innovator, not as a negative insti-
tution said Student Senator Steve
Martin, who supported the ban.
While the title of the film has
put off some booking agents at
commercial and college theaters
alike, the film's distributor said
UNO's was the most heated de-
bate over the movie so far.
Although the "Sammy and
Rosie Get Laid" does include some
sex scenes, critics of the ban ar-
gued the film's message is politi-
cal and the title is British slang for
being taken advantage of by an
institution.
Ms. Vincent said that after
talking to Onphant, the instruc-
tor, whom she declined to iden-
tify, thought she might have mis-
taken him for someone else. The
instructor left him walking, but
did report seeing him when she
arrived at the workshop and
learned that Oliphant was miss-
ing.
Detective Ed Hill of the
Greensboro Police Department
said that police had been told only
that Oliphant might be heading to
the coast or Florida. Police deter-
mined that Oliphant spent the
nightof Feb. 14 in a Salvation Army
shelter in Winston-Salem.
Police have no other recorded
sightings of him until his body
was found a week later. Oliphant's
workers involved with the case
will be disciplined.
"The staff acted responsibly
and followed procedures that were
in place Vincent said. "Unfortu-
nately, we've had one situation
that's been very, very sad, but one
out of as many supervised cases
as we've had isn't bad

Ms. Vincent acknowledged
that the incident raises questions
about the county's policy of plac-
ing mentally retarded people in
the "least restrictive environment"
? in their own homes in the
community and in jobs where
possible. But she defended the
policy and said Oliphant could
have wound up dead even if he
had been living with family
members.
"I would say that the person
could leave their home as easily as
they can an apartment she said.
"The person apparently left in the
wee hours of the morning, and
again, that can happen in a private
home. Parents can go to sleep. It is
unfair to say that this could only
happen in this situation and not in

Lesson plans take up a lot of
time for child development

Ch iki development ma jor Balsorah White reads to her class. White is a senior, who hopes to teach
in the North Carolina after graduation. (Photo by J.D. Whitmire, ECU Photolab)
A dav in the life for Balsorah
White, a Child Development and
Family Rotations student here at
ECU, is a busy one for this senior
who will be graduating in May.
White hails from Newport
News, V A. She transferred to ECU
almost two years ago to join the
School of Home Economics, which
her major is classified under, to
work toward a Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree.
In January, White began her
internship in the School of Homo
Economics. White works up to 20
hours on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. The intcrship is worth
nine semester credit hours that
will go toward her degree.
White has many long days at
the preschool, located in the Home
Economics building, where she
works with childen in the three to
four-year age groups.
The preschool is a place where
the children can pick up proper
social skills, such as learning to
get along with their peers. White
is on hand to help them obtain
these skills and to prepare them
for kindergarten.
White explains, "I think chil-
dren are very impressionable at
this age and it is important that
they are in an environment where
they can socialize with others
During her internship, White
has six lead days. On these lead
days, she is required to prepare
numerous activities for the chil-
dren to work on and play with
throughout the day.
She admits that it is a lot of
hard work, but it is very reward-
ing. "There is a lot of pressure and
preparation. It requires a lot of it
me outside of the classroom
White said.
She also said that she worksat
least 10 hours outside of the class-
room to prepare for her days at the
preschool. White stresses that it is
difficult in deciding what to do in
class that will be fun for all the
children.
"llovechildren. They are very
curious and very willing to get
involved and try different activi-
ties she said.
During one of White's lead
days, she and the children made
chocolate pudding and learned
about different cultures from
around the world. "It may sound
easy, but it takes a great deal of
patience to make everything
work she stated.
While the children are taking
their naps, White has a two hour
break. During that break, she re-
turns to her dorm to finish up last
minutes preparations and to grab

says the battles are being halted,
in many areas, bv present day

Emphasizing that black
women should be, "inspired by
the past, and challenged by the
present she went on to say that
in order to do this, black women
must strive to perfect certain prin-
ciples.
The first, she said, is the re-
establishment of self-worth and
pride. She said, "no-one should
make you feel inferior empha-
sizing one must not allow them-
selved to be downgraded, simply
for the color of their skin.
She also said, future leaders
should know their history, "to
cherish their past She said many
had aquired a "laid-back attitude

be "proud of their hertiage" in

She also said, "we must be-

much apathy" and one must
"register to vote and keep politi-
cally informed
Black women, shesta ted, must
"understand and expel the mis-
conceptions of black families in a
negative, light. "If the family is
undermined, what do we have
left" was her reasoning and she
stated it must be known that the
"family has alwavs been our
strong point
Lastly, sheemphasizedrecon-
nectiveness. She said there was
"too much divicivness and we
must all learn to work together
She said, "we must obtain inti-
mate ties with our communities"
and "help those less fortunate to

I could accept the claim under
the pretense of "the newest" res-
taurant in the city, but Greenville,
North Carolina, a town still revel-
ing in the glory of the grand open-
ing of a second Taco Bell, is hardly
the culinary capital of the state.
Cj's provided quitea few pleasant
surprises.
This is a restaurant well suited
to anyone who is tired of the same
old fast food lunch and dinner
fare. CJ's marque boasts "rotisse-
rie chicken, ribs, crab, and salads
a bounty which can be enjoyed
fried orin the spirit of a refresh-
ingly new concept, baked,
steamed, or broiled. CJ's is con-
venient for most as a lunch spot,
yet still not too far out of the way
for dinner.
The owners arc enthusiastic
about the restaurant's back-
ground, a story which is printed
on every menu. "A poor old boy
from central Florida" was work-
ing in a chain of restaurants called
Hooter's when he met a "good old
boy from Greenville With the
Greenville bov's money and the
Florida boy's knowledge, a place
where "vou could drink some-
thing different from every coun-
try and enjoy some great food at
sane prices" was born.
With an open-air wooden
deck for the warmer months, TV's
hung about the room tuned to any
sporting event, and several taste-
fully hung neon beer signs deco-
rating the walls, CJ's interior envi-
ronment is reminiscent of the
national chain Hooter's; however,
the comparisons stop there.
Customers are cheerfully
greeted at the door by appropri-
ated attired waitresses and asked
to seat themselves where thev
would feel most comfortable. Al-
though the tables are small and
close together, the dining area is
surrounded on three sidesby large
windows opening up what could
be a cramped room. Since there
are many ceiling fans and ash trays
are available only on request,
smokers are not a problem.
To speed lunch service on a
weekday before 2 p.m a customer
moves through a cafeteria-style
line ordering the same entrees at
the same prices found on the table
menu. The check is paid at the end
of the line, but both food and
beverage are served by a waitress.
During dinner hours and on week-
ends all service is provided at the
table.
Seating is available at either a
cushioned booth or square table
with padded wooden cafe style
chairs. On each table, between the
salt and pepper, is a shaker filled
with a spicy barbecue flavoring
salt for CJ's specialty spuds, a
basket of seasoned curly fries,
served with most meals or inex-
pensively priced ($1.15) as an

Bonehead tackles swearing
By CHIPPY BONEHEAD
Staff Cuner
There are times and situ-
ations in which cussing is unac-
ceptable andor not strong
enough. Especially if, like me,
you cuss with a frequency and
fortitude that managing editors
and church-going secretaries
find appalling and hard to keep
up with.
Being the linguistic purist
that 1 am, I abhor phrases like
"Spit or get off the spot You
find such euphemisms in com-
ics and television, when writers
are trying to inject a fake harsh-
ness to the product and end up
sounding poorly censored.
Another cheap, editor-ap-
peasing trick is the old symbol-
substitution cipher. Hit that
SHIFT key and" ?$?"
takes the place of any offensive
phrase.
Two drawbacks: it looks
childish, and you can't say
"?$??" in real life. Try
telling someone they're a "Son

bol and they'll laugh you out

Clearly Labeled Satire Page, and
1 are being particularly hard hit
by our paper's new ultimate ban
on profanity. So this week, I am
forced to find some workable al-
ternatives that will express my
feelings honestly in print and
perhaps even in life.
Most curses are nonsensical
when you think about themany-
way. One of my personal favor-
ites means "intercourse the first
letter of a synonym for a half-
breed between a horse and a
mule
Some cuss words originated
as common, acceptable words,
such as the word for female dog.
So, using these two guidelines,
I'm sure I can mink of some-
thingnew.
The main problem is the ba-
sics. There are the four most fa-
mous four-letter words and one
five-letter one. These are the
building blocks of the curse hi-
erarchy. "Damn" and "hell" are
words that show up in any Bible,
so if s safe to leave them alone.
The other three simply can
not be replaced. Try it.

were censored by the managing
editor, while vivid images, don't
have the same shock value as the

them are silly if someone said,
"Nail you you'd probably look

"Nailin' A is even more ri-
diculous. Truly, a finely balanced

No offense, Will, but the good
STUFF is ALWAYS interred with
their bones.
Take the late Col. Fraser Mof-
fat. The alumni magazine of his
alma mater paid due respect to his
business and military career. But
nowhere did it mention that well
into life he could still balance a
dozen empty beer bottles end on
end.
The father of a colleague gave
his won father last rites three times,
unnecessarily as it turned out.
Being about 10, he didn't exactly
know procedure so he tried three
different versions to spread-eagle
possibilities. Think that stopped
any presses? Nope. He was pub-
licly remembered, albeit justly, for
managing restaurants.
Obits will list survivors, but
rarely, unless you're a ruling
monarch, ancestors. There's a
happy housewife I met in Califor-
nia who has survived descent from
Jesse and Frank James, the
Youngers AND the Daltons with-
out robbing nary a bank. Not obit
material in spite of what it may tell
us about the sins of the father or
even dead cousins.
In life we are surrounded by
"what ifs" and other narrow es-
capes. Not in death. I had an uncle
whose father promised to take him
to the new nickelodeon for his
10th birthday. The morning of the
great event he had sniffles. His
mother, a no-nonsense ex-school-
teacher, wouldn't let him out of
the house. That's why he wasn't
sitting in a reserved front row seat
when the Iroquois Theater burned
down in Chicago in 1903 killing
602 people. His escape never made
the prints until now.
Alumni magazines are par-
ticularly remiss. Most of 'em just
say "deceased But part of the
news is how our old pals depa rted
this realm and what they'd done
since we last saw them pouring
milk punch over their heads at
senior houseparties. Did they
make a hole-in-one? Win a lot-
tery? Scale K2?
Kid they die in a bar fight in
the Klondike? Lose a duel to a
jealous husband? Did their para-
chutes fail to open? Don't ask the
obit. .
There s a tradition at Prince-
ton University for freshmen to try
to climb up the ivy at Nassau Hall
and steal the clapper from the bell
so everyone will have an excuse
for not getting to 8 o'clock class on

only got theclapper, he also found
out where they hid all the spare
clappers and pinched them, too.
Obit matter? You kidding?
I.ast words get dropped from
our lives as well. When Henrik

Also on the table is an exten-
sive wine list with selections rang-
ing from Dom Perignon ($99) to a
California nine ($12) or by the
glass $2-$2.50). The other side of
the wine list is an international
repertoire of imported beers
($2.25) from such exotic locations
as Australia (Fosters), Mexico (Sol,
Corona), and Massachusetts
(Samuel Adams) to name just a
few.
Domestic beer is available in
both long neck ($1.75), draft
($1.10), and pitcher ($4.50). The
iced tea (.75) is excellent and a
variety of soft drinks (.75) with
free refills, are also available.
I'm looking forward to the
opening of the summer deck, and
1 hope the discriminating tastes of
Greenville rally in support of a
dining alternative like CJ's. The
restaurant is located at 103 East

Along with her busy intern-
ship schedule, White is taking two
classes, Color and Design and
Dynamics of Home Economics, to
fill up her Tuesdays and Thurs-
days.
Even though White is con-
stantly working in her internship
and taking classes, she still has
time to enjoy some of her favoite
hobbies, such as swimming, run-
ning and listening to music.
As for future plans, White
hopes to work in the North Caro-

years and then move on to wher-
ever else her job may take her.
"I really want to work with

White said she will miss ECU
when she graduates. She believes
that ECU has really prepared her

White concludes, "Child

I n endearing look at great cartoonists of our times)
Fun and Games takes a sincere, heartfelt examination this week at the
professional life of Richard Haselrig. Known as "Bernard" by his friends, and
that loud, excitable guy" to most of you, Richard began work on our page in
the Fall of 1988. Since then, he and writer Micah Harris (who writes nearly all
prose that exists) have faithfully brought us that intricate work known as The
Avatar. Hit it, Rich.

Dear Big E,
1 am going to Key West on

the winter storm came last week
and 1 was not able to drive to the

couldn't take it to the shop be-
cause Daddy just cut me off and
my mother is on heavy sedation

Quote o' the week:
"Stop saying my name!
Stop saying my name!
Stop saying my name!

? Stephanie Emory
This chick is really cute, but she'll go out with the most
disgusting guys imaginable as long as they drink Bush
Lite?. Florida is packed with babes just like her.
Get the picture?
this billboard character guy named
Pedro can rip you off and make
you blow a lot of green on buzz
items. Pedro's Kennel. Pedro's
Knick-knacks. Pedro's Head Shop.
Pedro's Bush Lite? Store. Pedro's
Taco Hell. Pedro's Car Wash. The
hours of gizzard-tickling laughter
will be endless at South of the
Border.
And that is what spring break
is all about.
Peer
Pressure
Dear Big E,
I've heard there is a lot of peer
pressure on spring break about
doing, well, you know. E, please
elaborate on this point.
Signed, Curious
Dear Well You Know,
There is a lot of peer pressure
about "well, you know" on spring
break. Someone always has a
harder rock gut or a better tan
than you. Someone is always doing
something you should be doing.
And there is alwavs that un-
avoidable question: "Have you
done it yet?" And then one of the
lucky studettes or studs in your
group says "Yeah, I did it last
night
But Pedro, alias Big E, doesn't
understand the ? well, you know
? peer pressure behind this very
ordinary human occurrence. For
some of us the action may only
occur during spring break while
others do it every day, even in
Greenville.
O.K. insert ? well you know
?let me back up. Reach into your
pocket and extract a dollar in

big breath. Insert change where it
says "Insert change
And then say "Hi Mom. Well

good time
Gambling
Dear Big E,
Florida is famous for its sun
and beaches. Can you tell me
anything about the legalized
gambling?
Signed, G.G. Manning
Dear G.G
So, since when does the sun
belong to Florida? Get your facts
right before writing the Big Pedro,
buddy.
Jai alai, the dog tracks, the
horse tracks, yeah Florida is a
gambler's haven. Jai alai, one of
the wiggiest games ever invented,
has three men throwing a ball to a
wall on the other side of Florida,
where the ball bounces back so
that three other men have to catch
it before it smashes them in the
face.
Warning: don't enter a jai alai
arena with all of your vacation
money. You may end up stran-
gling the woman sitting in the aisle
in front of you who persistently
says "Drop it" in the direction of
the three guys you bet on.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
ECU leader in assists
Kelly excels despite height
Sports
MARCH 2,1989 PAGE 11
By KRISTEN HALBERG
Spot Editor
When the performance of a
basketball player is evaluated, the
major determining factor as far as
his asset to the team is concerned
is based upon height. The taller
you are, the better basketball
player you must be.
But one man on the East Caro-
lina basketball team defies this
Jeff Kelly
assumption, senior point guard
Jeff Kelly.
Kelly, who stands at a modest
5-foot-9-inches, says being under-
tall for a basketball player does
not intimidate him. "I've always
been short. I've never been real
tall so I've never really worried
about it Kelly explained.
Kelly capitalizes on his ath-
letic qualities to make up for his
height on the team. He is a tough,
aggressive player who is an excel-
lent ball-handler, an essential
quality for point guards. "You can
use vour shortness to your advan-
tage Kelly said. "You've got to
use more of your quickness and
be smarter
Kelly, who would rather pass
than shoot in a game, said fans
don't understand the role he plays
on the team. Averaging 2.7 shots
attempted per game, Kelly said
his job is to set up the offense and
work the ball to forwards Blue
Edwards and Gus Hill, the pre-
mier scorers for the Pirates, and
not be a leading shooter. "The
game has gotten harder to play in
college because we haven't had
the size here at East Carolina. You
don't get the easy shots, Kelly said.
"If I shot the ball 15 times a
game, then I could become a good
shooter. But if you only take three
or four shots a game, it's difficult
to have a real good percentage
Kelly may not excel in shoot-
ing, but he has fullfilled his role in
getting the prime shooters the ball.
He finished out his season leading
ECU in assists for both the season
and in a career. Kelly had 116
assists on the season surpassing
Herb Dixon's 113 he had in the
1984-85 season for the Pirates.
Kelly also surpassed Curt Van-
derhorst's 232 career assist record
as he has totaled 266 assists over
his career with the Pirates.
"I'm pretty proud of it Kelly
said regarding his new school
records. "I think the addition of
Blue and Gus this year has helped
me out a lot more too. They are
guys who arc going to score and
get you the assist when you throw
them the ball
In addition to being the assist
leader for the Pirates, Kelly is also
in the top-10 in ECU's recordbooks
for steals. He had 36 steals this
season which put him in eighth
place for most steals in a season.
He has also had 70 steals through-
out his career which slid him into
fifth place for ECU career steals.
Kelly's best game came Jan.
23,1989 against the Midshipmen
of Navy. In that same game, he
scored a career high 12 points in
Annapolis and had a career high
12 assists.
Being one of three seniors for
the Pirates, coach Mike Steele
required that all his seniorsbe team
leaders both on and off the court.
"We basically try to help the
younger guys understand what
coach Steele wants Kelly ex-
f?lained "It has been hard on Merf
Kenny Murphy, Blue Blue
Edwards and myself because we
are actually sophomores in this
program. A lot of times we're
searching for answers at what he
wants
Playing a sport at the colle-
giate level demandsdisciplinenot
only in the basketball setting but
in the academic setting as well.
Kelly works hard at maintaining a
respectable 2.9 grade point aver-
age, not letting the absense from
his classes while traveling take a
toll on his studies.
"A lot of freshmen come in
and have problems with the books
and the basketball Kelly contin-
ued. "I think that I understood
more of what I was getting myself

into because mjpfather was a col-
lege basketball player and my
three brothers play college athlet-
ics
Kelly's father, Robert Kelly,
coached St. Petersburg College in
Jersey City, N.J.
Kelly grew up in South Or-
ange, N.J. and began playing bas-
ketball early in his life. "I've been
bouncing a ball since 1 was about
four or three years Kelly said.
He attended high school at
Columbia High and became the
fourth 1,000 point scorer for the
Cougers and holds the school's
single-game and single-season
career assist records.
Kelly had a chance to go to St.
Johns University in New York but
said he liked the atmosphere at
East Carolina and knew he would
get more playing time. "I would' ve
made the team at St. Johns al-
though I knew I wouldn't play
and just came down here and
loved the atmosphere Kelly said.
"Thebasketball program at ECU
wasn't too overpowering and it
wasa place I could come and play
Kelly said his career playing
basketball will end after the Colo-
nial Athletic Association tourna-
ment in Hampton this weekend,
but he would love to follow in his
father's footsteps and coach colle-
giate level basketball. "I would
like to coach without a doubt'
Kelly said. "The more and more I
think about it, I don't want to get
out of it. I've done it all my life,
I've always been around college
basketball. It's going to be scary. I
don't know what I'm going to do
with myself next year

more year to graduate. When he
does graduate, Kelly plans to look
into a graduate assistantship with
a college basketball team.

looking for their first win in post-
season play since the CAA was
formed.
The Pirates enter the tourna-
ment with a season record of 14-
13. They are 6-8 in the CAA, good
enough for a tie for fifth. But a
coin toss on Monday went in fa-
vor of James Madison and ECU
will be seeded sixth in the tourna-
ment.
By being seeded sixth, the
Pirates will face the Eagles of
American in first round action.
ECU lost their first meeting against
American at Washington, D.C 82-
66. But the Pirates evened the
season series by winning in
Minges Coliseum, 66-60.
Blue Edwards led the way for
the Pirates with 32 points, while
ECU's tenacious defense held Ron
Draper, one of the nation's lead-
ing rebounders, to just two re-
bounds, 10 below his season aver-

Spring Games USA, the Na-
tional College Championships of
Intramural and Club Sports, will
take place during Spring Break at
the East CoastWest Coast loca-
tions of Daytona Beach, FL and
Palm Springs; CA. Spring Games
is a chance for the two-out-of-three
college students who participate
in intramual and recreational
sports on campuses throughout
the country to "live the dream" of
competing in a national sporting
event. Nineteen athletic competi-
tions coupled with entertainment,
sports clinics, demonstrations and
special events will create an Olym-
pic-Village-type atmosphere for
participants and spectators alike.
The unique dual city format
calls for weekly competitions in
which vacationing students can
compete in individual and team
events during their school's spring
recess. Winners will be determined
in each venue, with the East Coast
champions being flown to Palm
Springs to face their West Coast
counterparts in the National Fi-
nals on April 1 and 2,1989.
The month-long sports festi-
val, presented by the Pontiac
Division, was developed by a for-
mer intramural volleyball player
who went on to Olympic fame.
Spring Games USA is sanctioned
by the National Intramural and
Recreational Sports Association
(NIRSA), which oversees on-
campus athletic competitions The
event will be televised nationwide
by the Movietime Cable Network.
NIRSA, together with the
Spring Games USA staff, plan to
further develop the festival into a
major annual competition. College
and universities that are afiliated
with NIRSA can coordiante on-
campus competitions that lead to
placement in Spring Games USA.
