Students ride across U.S.
When Rutgers I niversitv students Sam
Hitman and Mark Rupert got bored last
summer, they decided to hop on their bikes
and ride from coast to coast ?- but neither of
them had any pnor biking experience.
The two wanted their trip to hive a pur-
pose, so they contacted the American bung
Association and asked the group to sponsor
them. In arum, the men raised $10,000 for the
organization.
"Our original goal was to raise $1,000
each Hitman said.
But, car washes, candy sales, writing let-
ters and meeting with local businesses for
donations brought on mom money than the
two ever expected.

Beer industry attempts to educate consumers
By Brian Kerns
Special to I ho t ast Carolinian
The beer industry, while
spending millions ol dollars on
advertising, isalso trying to edu-
cate consumers. ECU'S market-
ing students received the real
lesson on the importance of edu-
cation Wednesday night.
lorn Atkins vice president
and general manager of C.(
Tankard (iompanyofWashing-
ton, was the featured speaker ol
the American Marketing Asso-
ciation last Wednesday.
CO. Tankard Company,
which is a Ivor wholesaler, pri-
marily handles Miller Brewing
Company. Thecompanyserves
13 eastern North Carolina coun-
ties and services nearly halt a
million people, with Greenville
Iving their largest and most
important market.
Atkins discussed the growth
of t he Ixvr industry from its small
market size in the early '70s toone
ot the largest industries in the
world.
Around 1970, Phillip Morris
bought Miller BrewingCompany,
which then was a small operation
with one production facility.
Phillip Morris then trans
totied ihe beer inJustrv by
implementing their "Marlboro
Man" mentality and competi-
tive marketing strategy into the
beer industry.
By 1981, Miller High Life
was the number two beer in the
country and Miller had awak-
ened a giant industry. With
Anheuser Busch being the
leader in the beer market, the
industry became more creative
and marketing competitive.
The beer companies were
doing everything to gain brand
loyalty and increase1 per capita
consumption, but the industry
and the nation forgot one impor-
tant element ?- education.
The increasing death tolls
due to drunken dnversand alco-
holism set off public concern
about the message that the beer
industry was sending out.

Senior class hopes to
create new traditions
By Julie Roscoe
Assistant News Editor
The senior class is preparing to make
its contribution to the university and the
president of the class of 1992, Allen Tho-
mas, wants to make tradition thethemeof
the gift.
Thomas' idea is to replace the tempo-
rary stage structure on the mall in the
center ot campus, with a permanent one.
He then wants to include time capsules
representing each class built into the back
ol the stage.
"We need a permanent area out there
and when it's not being used for functions
it's always there for someone to use for a
picnic or lunch or anything Thomas said.
"It will help beautify that part of cam-
pus
The tradition would start with the
class of 1992's collection of items repre-
senting the events of the year and would
continue every year until it is full. Then in
80 vears or so it could be opened and
examined.
"Every year there would be a cer-
emony when the senior class would put in
their block area things from that year
Thomas said. "It would have a little vault
where you put information, maybe a pro-
gram from the Peach Bowl, a paper from
The East Carolinian, different things from
our university that happened this year
Building the stage will require an un-
usually large sum ot money for a senior
class gift and cooperation from the whole
university.
The ?GA usually pays for the senior
class gift, but this year the SGA is short on
funds (only having $7,435 to spend on
appropriations) and will not bo able to
give very generously. This only makes
Thomas more determined to ask for assis-
tance from different organizations.
"To do it we are going to need coop-
eration and hclp from all groups on cam-
pus Thomas said. "Since this will benefit
our entire university and help begin tradi-
tion, it should be something all groups get
excited about being a part of, including
faculty,staff and students
Thomas said he wants to get help from
any gToup on campus. If a group can help
supply materials or man-power or even
brain-power, Thomas is willing to use it.
The next step for Thomas is visiting
Chancellor Richard Eakin and Dr. Al
Mathews, vice-chancellor for student ar-
fairs. Thomas wants to get their advice
and input on the project's initial problems,
such as funding and construction.

tus to run for office was clarified.
After the confusionin the falll
of 1991 with several students run-
ning for offices and later finding out
they were ineligible because of lack
of hours, the committee listed the
hours needed to qualify.
"Students puttime,energyand
money into the campaigns only to
find out they did not qualify, this
resolution would solve that prob-
lem Kristie Hoffsteddcr, of the
committee, said. The qualifications
are freshman: 0-31, sophomore: 32-
63, junior: 64-95 and senior: 96 plus.
Students must be enrolled full-time
which for undergraduates is 12 se-
mester hours and for graduates is
nine hours or six hours plus an
assistantship.
During debate, John Washko
objected to the hours qualification.
The point was also raised that
business majors graduate with 120
hours so they could possibly have
onlv 90 before elections and then
they would not qualify.
The resolution passed.

IBM and Digital Equipment
Corporation are donating nearly
$400,000incomputersand software
to help ECU's "Academic Com-
mitment to Excellence Through
Technology" program from the fall
of 1991.
The grants from the two com-
panies will be used to expand the
computer workstationsavailable to
students and faculty and to develop
high-tech computervideo class-
rooms. The classrooms will have
projection monitors that will allow
facultv to use multi-media and
computer assisted instruction
technologies in their lectures.
Having a partnership with the
two companies represents "a bold
approach (by ECU) to strengthen
undergraduate educational excel-
lence in teaching, and commitment
to research, scholarship and ere-
ativeactivities Ernest Marshbum,
director of ECU Academic Com-
puting, said.
The university isadding nearly
$1.5 million to the corporation part-

a set of initiatives in the "Academic

said. The money from the univer-
sity will be used to increase the
number of workstations in campus
computer labs and to expand the
usage of computer technologies in

Included in IBM's $180,000
grant were 28 of its 386-class per-

0 The East Carolinian regrets that the last line of the Feb. 11 story,

? In the Jan. 14 issue of The Exist Carolinian, an article inaccurately
reported that Jim Burns made the first wiretapping recording of

not. The state auditor's report states that Roberson made the first

authorized the taping.

As AIDS patients' disease

Many AIDS patients in east-

Opinion
Page 4, Tuesday, February 18, 1992
Pitzer need student's support
After Patrick Pitzer's announcment of
his candidacy for one of Greenville's at large
city council seats, the question of student
involvement in local politics comes to mind.
The city of Greenville has a long history
of conflicts with our campus (or more spe-
cifically students than the university itself).
In the past, student issues such as noise
ordinances, restriction Halloween festivities
and various other affairs have differed with
city positions.
When one city manager stood up for
the students concerning the noise ordinance
which curtailed social events, he shortly there-
after lost his job. The city seems to be indif-
ferent to the wants of the students.
We do not have to endure this treat-
ment.
ECU students figure prominently in the
population of Greenville. This is apparent to
anyone who has spent a stuffy summer in the
emerald city. Traffic, an arguable measure of
population density, vastly increases as stu-
dents return.
Students bring more than their stereos
and pictures of mom when they arrive in mid-
August. They also bring dollars. Apart from
tobacco, students fund Greenville.
With this in mind, a truth is evident: We
need a voice in city affairs.
Because we live in a democracy, the
students of our university have a chance to
stand up to the city and exercise our control
our right to influence. With a student popu-
lation of 17,000, over a third of the entire
city's population, the campus could easily
elect a student to the mayor's office, much
less a student to the city council.
The last person to win a city council seat
won with 5,000 votes. It would be appalling,
if not slightly embarrassing, if Pitzer does
not win as many votes.
Thus, The East Carolinian hereby whole-
heartedly supports Patrick Pitzer and rec-
ommends highly that fellow students should
follow our lead.
After all, it takes only a few minutes to
vote, but it takes two years to makea change.
Letters to the Editor
Condom photo
found unamusing
To The Editor:
The purpose of the Pee Health
Educators ad East Carolina University
is to help students improve the quality
of their lives by creating awareness of
crucial health issues and assisting stu-
dents in making personal behavior
changes that contribute to personal
health and well-being. These issues
include those that relate women's
health, men's health, AIDS and sexu-
ally transmitted disease infection pre-
vention, contraception, skin cancer
prevention and alcohol awareness.
Every year the second week of
February is designated "National Con-
dom Week
This year Peer Health Educators
organized events and educational pre-
sentarionstoeducatesrudentsconcern-
mg sexually transmitted infectionsand
to promote personal responsibility for
their sexual health.
The message the Peer Health
Educators sent out in their educational
programs is that the only 100 percent
effective way to be free from sexually
transmitted d iseases is to abstain from
sexual activity.
For those who choose to be sex u-
ally active the Peer Health Educators
promote the proper and consistent use
of latex, lubricated condoms to red uce
the risk of contracting a sexually trans-
mitted infection. They emphasize that
condoms do not eliminate these risks
but just reduce thejn.
The Peer Health Educator ap-
preciate the publicity from The F.at
Carolinian but I think the picture of the
Peer Health Educator on the front page
of the East Carolinian putting a con-
dom on a penis model sends the wrong
image of the Peer Health program and
may actually trivialize the purpose of
the Peer Health Educators and Na-
tional Condom Week. AIDS is nothing
totrivializeorlaughat It is no joke that
the most recent joint study by the
American College Health Association
and the Centers for Disease Control
indicates that from a sample of 19 col-
lege campuses, two samples per 1,000
blood samples were infected with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS. Nationally,
20 percent of those sufferi ng from AIDS
are between the ages of 20 and 29. This
is no joke and no laughing matter. Peer
Health Educators work and spend end-
less hours of training time to conduct
educational programs for their fellow
students. They should be praised for
their efforts not condemned.
I would like to congratulate the
Peer Health Educators for their efforts
to educate their fellow students and
bring the issue of AIDS and sexually
transmitted diseases out in the open on
campus. I wish the best of luck.

Possible censorship
worries student
To The Editor
In reading the article on the pro-
posal for updates in the photo lab, I
became somewhat disgruntled. The
tenor of the article seemed to be that
Mr Alexander implied the needs of
the newspaper were going to be held
hostage in order to assert editorial
changes which will satisfy the admin-
istration. These comments clearly sug-
gest a from of censorship through the
budget.
I,asa student, value thecontent
and oppositions expressed in The East
Carolinian.The ad ministration has had
adequate opportunity to state its' po-
sition on every and any issue. The East
Carolinian should havethenght, with-
out the of budgetary threat to print
the satire section and to continue "the
paper's crusade on the wiretapping
case
The student body has the right
to hear both sides of an issue.
I hope that I have misinterpreted
Mr. Alexander's comments concern-
ing his disagreement with the articles
and opinions expressed in The East
Carolinian, in the discussion pertain-
ing to resource needs.

My Way Or The Highway
U.S. should adopt 100 mph limit
By
Matthew
Builey
Editorial
Columnist
ZL
(Editor's note ?The following
is the first of a two part editorial.)
Highway 261 That vatexpanv
of boring nothing between Greenville
and Raleigh Nothing to slow you
down but Wilson and their "welcome"
sign. "Welcome to Wilson, a town
dedicated to about 15 words follow,
but I'm always going too fast to read
them.
The speed limit on 264 is 55
miles per hour. Needless to say, trav-
elling the limit is a rare occasion, usu-
ally preceded by sighting a large
American sedan, bristling with anten-
nas.
If I had a dollar for each person
whoexceeded the speed limit this past
weekend on our nation's highways, I
could buy the chancellor's house and
pave a new parking lot.
Seriously, when was the last
timeyouactuallydrove55mphina55
zone? Once, during your driver's test?
You're not alone.
Dick Ceppos, a writer in the
automotive press, performed an in-
formal survey of vehicle speeds re-
cently. The report revealed that close
to 80 percent of highway travelers
totally ignore the speed limit, some
blow by at more than 35 miles per
hourover.Ohersobeythespeed limit,
but would d rive faster if the law would
allow.
I have a modest proposal. In the
America of the 90s, with the cars of the
90s, and the roads of the 90s not only
is it possible to raise the speed limit,
but it would be rather inane not to
increase it to 100 mph, under certain
conditions.
Suburban dwellers now
struggle through hour-long commutes
that could be quicker. Those who live
in states like Arizona or Texas, where
major cities lie hundreds of miles apart,
arecrippled by the65mph speed limit.
The national speed limit should be
100 miles per hour. Bear with me, ye
motorists of little faith.
Mv criteria to safely raise the
limit are simple. Three qualifications
would have to be met in order for this
system to work, each deals with a
separate aspect of safety. Specifics of
these standards later
First, let's understand why there
is a 55 mph speed limit, and how
"Chicken Little" insurance lobbyists
have brainwashed lawmaners and
good drivers into believing that
"Speed Kills thus keeping the limit
from being raised.
In 1972 a shortage of oil forced
the government to take drastic action;
the speed limit was dropped from 65
or 75 mph to 55 mph nationwide. The
country, tired of long gas lines and
high prices at the pump, groaned and
swallowed the decrease, hoping it
would iast only until oil supplies re-
turned to normal.
It only took a few years though
beforetheSafetymongers-of-the-Uni-
verse, insurance lobbyists, were jump-
ing up and down, waving not-so-star-
tling statistics; deaths by motor ve-
hicle had dropped since the new law
was put into effect How dumb do
they think we are7 It doesn't take a
physics professor to understand that
the slower an object moves, the less
the impact it will suffer in a collision.
On the basis of the insurance
companies' statistics, why don't we
drop the national speed limit to 45
mph? Or how about 15? We could
outlaw cars altogether. If people
would return to walking, fewer would
die in motor vehicle accidents. The
point is clear; there has to be a com-
promise between speed and safety
despite the savings to insurance com-
panies. As we will see, later in this
riveting article, that compromise
might come through the human de-
sire to live a long life with all of one's
body parts
This "human nature" limiter
has gotten lost under all the scarv
"Speed Kills" propaganda Accord-
ing to Richard Ceppos, in his essay for
Car and Driver, "Bv nature, human'

Clinton scandalized
by 22-year-old letter
The Amalgamated Press
A 22-year-old letter released
to the press by Bill Clinton's cam-
paign committee revealed surpris-
ing new factsabout the candidate's
attempts to avoid serving in the
Vietnam War.
In the letter, Clinton lavishly
praises the man who helped him
avoid serving in the war. That man
was none other than j. Danforth
Quaylc, now the vice president of
the United States.
"All my friends have told me
that you're the man to go to if you
want to avoid the draft Clinton
wrote in the letter. "Of course,
unlike you, 1 oppose the war rather
than advocating it, so I'm not be-
ing a hypocrite by staying out of
Partial Text of Clinton's Letter
Dear Mr. Quayle:
First I want to thank you, not just for saving me trom the draft, but
also for the lovely basket of fruit you sent me .
Let me try to explain to you why I sought your assistance in
avoiding the draft. Basically, I don't want to die. I mean, that's at the
heart of it. Can you really blame me?
However, I've decided to join ROTC. I don't want to fight in
Vietnam or anything, but I don't think I want to be unelectable two
decades from now, either. I'm sure you know what that's like, ha ha.
Thanks again for the fruit.
Sincerely, or anyway as sincere as I get,
Bill Clinton

Students challenge new dorm policy
Tin Amm camati d Press
The Association of Students
Who Like to Discuss Science Fic-
tion And Occasionally Worship
Satan challenged one Oi Resident
Indoctrination's policies during
the SAC. meeting Monday.
v anng I Xvpwell presidentof
ASWl 1 6FAOWS, referred to the
policy printed in Mein Kttmpf, the
official guide tor students living
in the dorms
The policy states, students
using their imagination in the
dorms will be severe!) flogged
"Resident Indoctrination is
trying to prove there's a eorrela
tion between students using their
imaginations and students chal-
lenging dorm policies said
Deep well. "Come on, gimme a
break when was the last time a
student had the guts or the inter-
est to challenge a policy around
here?"
Deepwel! asserted that Resi-
dent Indoctrination's policy is
unfair, noting that those few stu-
dents capable of using their imagi-
nationsat all, consideringall those
brain cells they've drowned in al-
cohol, usually manage to stay out
of trouble.
Accordingly, at last week's
SAG meeting, Deepwell intro-
duced a resolution that would re-
verse Resident Indoctrination's
ban on imaginative activities.
Naturally, the resolution hit a
big old bureaucratic wall o'
trouble. Rita Violatin Fashist, a
senior Resident Indoctrination of-
ficial, convinced the SAG to send
the resolution to a committee for a
vote.
"I'm sure you can see why we
have a policy against students us-
ing their imaginations in the
dorms Fashist told this reporter.
"People start using their imagina-
tions, and pretty soon they'reques-
tioning authority, and you know
what that leads to. These rules are
necessary in order to preserve the
master race from ? er, 1 mean, to
keep order
Fashist later convinced the
committee that the anti-imagina-
tion policy posed no threat to stu-
dents' rights. "You people on the
committee don't have any imagi-
nation anyway said Fashist.
"What do you care?"
Deepwell objected to Fashist's
comments before the committee,
asking her, "Have you ever used
your imagination, lady?"
"Well, of course not Fashist
replied, chuckling. "Why should I
have to have any idea what it's
like to do whatever it is I'm ban-
ning?"
Deepwell was then soundly
laughed at by the committee mem-
bers, and her precious little reso-
lution was ceremoniously
dumped in the trash.
When the committee an-
nounced the results of its vote, the
SAG was almost completely unin-
terested.
"Frankly, I don't really care
whether students' rights are be-
ing violated said one typical
bored SAG legislator. "Doesn't
bother me in the slightest. I'm just
here for the babes
A few of the assembled legis-
lators valiantly attempted to stick
up for their fellow students' rights,
but they were quickly decapitated,
and the SAG meeting settled down
to its usual nice, soft, useless,
Gerald Ford-like self.

The Bush Administration has
decided to stick to its policy of
deporting Haitianrefugees,asscrt-
ing that the Haitians came to this
country fleeing destitution rather
than political persecution.
Thousands of refugees have
already been sent back to Haiti,
where they have been jailed,
beaten, and hacked into little tiny
bits with machetes.
However, the administration
intends to continue its deporta-
tion policy, and today announced
plans to extend it even further.
"Our position is that fleeing
economic hardship, coming to this
country for economic reasons, is
no t acceptable said W hi te House
spokcsweasel Merlin Spitzwater.
"Even if economics was only part
of it. Accordingly, we're deport-
mgeveryone whoseamresiorscame
to this country for economic rea-
sons, too. After all, we want to be
fair about this
The revised policy will mean
the deportation of damn near ev-
ery American with any European
background at all, including Presi-
dent Bush himself. American In-
dians are reportedly pleased.

ECU librarian Bea Quiet tear-
fully informed Amalgamated
Press reporters yesterday that
plans for the university's $18-mil-
lion rec center will be changed a
bit.
Rather than build a new facil-
ity, administrators plan to throw
out )oyner Library's books and
periodicals and install ping-pong
tables and a pool in the building.
Chancellor Dick Achin was
quick to defend the change of
plans.
"When you think about it,
every dime we sink into that new
rec center could just as easily be
put into expanding existing, use-
ful facilities like the library Achin
pointed out. "You could say that
every new ping-pong paddle
means one less paperback.
"So, what the hell. Let's be
honest about this. If its allocation
of funds is any guide, this univer-
sity cares more about athletics and
crap like that than it does about
providing students with one of
the most basic resources they need
to complete their educations: a
well-stocked, up-to-date library

straining to make herself heard
above the sounds of construction
workers. She tried to say more,
but one of the workers dragged
her from the building and depos-
ited her on top of a heap of dis-
carded books.

Levitation produces original music
Bv lini Shamlin
Staff Writer
Photo by Lian? H?ntsch?r
Levitation has managed to do what lew uands in progressive music have tried to do ? produce an orignal
Sound i I identity Their album.Coterie, has what it takes to make it big on the progressive charts.
Imagine a group of attention-
hungry English musicians whose
selt-pnxlaimod interest in reincar-
ivition, numerology and primitive
religion reeks of smarmy superfui
ality
Beneath al 11 he hype,one would
exped to find a pack of snot-nosed
upstarts, a no-talent garage Kind
that sees music as a rake to gather
profits from the gullible American
audience.
Most of this may ho tnie oi
Levitation, a new arrival on the
American scene Even their name
has a sappy quality and coupled
with the fact that they claim to have
met several lifetimes ago, anyone
who listens to the hype they spew
would be likely to turn away with-
out giving thema listen. That would
ho a mistake.
In the wild scramble to find the
next generation' in music, a lot of
bands churn out the same dreary
drivel, a stomach-souring blend ot
folk music and 'bOs rock.
Levitation is one band that s
managed to break the mold, to turn
away from the conventional and
reach out in new directions.
Billed as "New I lead Music" or
"Mind Punk Levitation's unique
brand oi music defies categoriza-
tion.
Their new album, Coltrw, has a
distinctly '80s feel, with the jangle of
the Psychedelic Furs, the haunting
tones of the Cum and the drive oi
pro-sellout Icicle Works.
While their sound is compa-
rable to that of those other artists, it
doesn't seem to draw heavily from
a single source. It is by no meai
clear-cut imitation, but a svntht - -
of styles that has resulted in s :
thing entirely new.
While the band has found i
constant stylistic identity, the sep
rate tracks demonstrate a dynamic
range of forms, from the up-beat
driveof "Squirrel" to thelight.swav-
ing "Nadine" to the mournful la-
ment of "Smile
In every piece, there is a com-
plex interplay among the instru-
ments, like layers of sound th.it
blend to forma swirling pattern.
The strength of the bind is a
product of five talented musicians
from a vaneryot backgrounds, from
jazz to new wave, that blend to
create Levitation's distinctive
sound.

ery week as the Monkees. They worn
a whacky, fun-loving rock'n'roll
combo whose lives were so inter-
esting that a sitcom could be built
around them.
The Monkees released albums
as well, most of which hit the Top
40, though tew people would actu-
ally admit to owning any. Their
theme sting (quoted above) was a
chart-busting hit, as were several
other Monkees singles, including
the classic "Last Train to
Clarksville The Monkees were a
genuine, popular culture phenom-
enon, not so forgotten. Nesmith was
the tall one in the stocking cap.
The Monkees werealso the big-
gest manufactured rock outfit ever,
even more plastic than the New
Kids on the Block ? if a bit mom
talented. Basically the "band" wasa
bunch oi actors with little musical
experience who were hired to bean
"American Beatles.
Nesmith, the only member who
actually knew how to play, went to
the casting call and won the role of
"Mike Nesmith His was the role
of the quiet, introspective guitarist.
Charles Mansen also tried out for a
role but was unsuccessful.
Nesmith's musical expertise
was put to little use with the
Monkees; he was able to play his
own instrument, and he wrote a
couple of the group's hits. His mass
media experience with the Monkees
project, however, seems to have
proven valuable in light oi his sub-
sequent activities.
Through the 70s, Nesmith re-
corded many solo efforts, pioneer-
ing in theeountrv-mck field. In 1974,
Nesmith formed the Pacific Arts
Corporation, his own communica-
tionscompany. The first Pacific Arts
release was The Prison, a book aiid
record combination that was the
first part of a major work by
Nesmith.
In 197b, Nesmith's LP From a
Radio Engine to a Photon Wing was
released and pnxl uced the hi t "Rio"
?not to be confused with the Duran

Nesmith filmed a video accompa-

idea born.

'Boys' unveils mysterious world of mentally impaired 12
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
Iast Thursday night the East
Carolina Playhouseopened its third
performanceoftheseason with Tom
Griffin's The Boys Next Door
The story of four mentally im-
paired men and the struggles they
go through just living their lives,
"The Boys Next Door" mixed won-
derfully a sense of child-like won-
der and emotionally hard-hitting
seriousness to create a performance
that opened the mindsand hearts of
the audience.
Though the play dragged occa-
sionally in the first act, the second
act had a nice flowing rhythm that
balanced out the entire play.
Along with the lack of speed in
the first act, some of the musical
segues were inappropriate and de-
tracted from theaudience'sconcen-
tration.
Though at times fitting nicely
with the action on stage, at least half
of the segues seemed to have been
placed just to fill up the time be-
tween scenes.
Also, the light changes that
occurred stage right during the
dance scene (one of the most impor-
tant in the play) continually drew
the attention away from the charac-
ters and bothered the eye.
Even with these minor techni-
cal glitches, the actors carried off
their roles brilliantly and wi th great
reality.
Derrick Parker, who played
Lucien, gave a wonderful perfor-
mance as a severely retarded man
trying to live a full life. Parker's
Levitation
character choices were consistent
throughout the play, culminating
with his speech in the second act.
In this speech, Parker broke
from his character to concisely and
intelligently tell the audience just
how it felt to be trapped at the emo-
tional age of a five-year-old.
After the speech, Parker re-
verted into his character and gave
one of the most memorable lines of
the play. "He's( Arnold, one of the
four mentally impaired men) like
nuts or something With this line
and his child-like character, Parker
stole the show and the hearts of the
audience.
Bray Culpepper, who played
Barry, also gave a performance that
tugged at the hearts of theaudience.
Playing a grandiose schizophrenic,
Culpepper dominated the stage in
Continued from page 7
all of his scenes.
Fantasizing that he was a golf
pro, Culpepper made outstanding
transitions from his outgoing, exu-
berant character to one that is
deathly afraid of his father visiting
him.
TheclimaxofCulpepper'schar-
acter, and the play, came when
Barry's father visits and causes him
to revert into a catatonic state to
escape his father's violence.
Watching Culpepper curl into
a ball on the floor and chant end-
lessly, 'Tlease don't hit me, daddy.
Please don't hit me, daddv the
audience is moved with sympathy
and compassion for the character.
J. Ayscueand David Berberian,
playing Norman and Jack respec-
tively, performed their characters
with admirable honesty, sincerity
and reality.
Avscuedelighted the audience
with his fervent hold on his keys
and his passion for doughnuts.
Ayscue's constant line, "1 gotta
have my keys. I can't get into any-
thing without them' summed up
his innocent character and its over-
whelming need for security.
Berberian gave a truthful look
into the hopesand dreams of a man
caught in a position that he doesn't
know if he can continue in.
Berberian fought between his
love for the men hecared for and his
knowledge of his own deteriorat-
ing state.
Tom between his responsibil-
ity to the men and his responsibility
to himself, Berberian finally makes
the hardest decision of his life ? to
leave the home.
To round out the group, Jack
Prather, playing Arnold, gave a
performance that showed theaudi-
ence a character, as Prather puts it,
"that's just a normal guy with some
problems
As reluctant to change as the
rest of the group, Prather highlights
scenes with lines like "Loose lips
sink ships and constant threats to
move to Russia.
'The Boys Next Door" shows
audiences the true life of the men-
tally impaired.
An honest and realistic look,
this play will change forever the
stereotypesand misconceptions into
one single fact ? these people are
just like the rest of us, with hopes
and dreams.
As the program says, "They
hold the key to your heart
form the foundation of the music,
but not in the traditional sense of
simple, beginner-book progres-
sions.
There is constant variation in
the rhythm, which lapses into syn-
copation and occasionally rises to
blend with the harmony.
Meanwhile, the guitarand key-
board seem to battle for prominence,
like the trumpet and clarinet of a
Dixieland combo.
The result of their competition
is not a discordant clash, but an
elegant interweaving of sound.
The only constant in the aural
chaos of music is the vocals that,
when pleasing tonally, are often
unintelligible, quite repetitive and
somewhat illogical ? but if the lis-
tener can get beyond the need to
find significance in the lyrics and
focus on sound quality alone, this
minor flaw will be all but invisible.
While the complex interplay of
Lcvitation's music will confound
audiences who are used to the
simple, straightforward and bland
drivel of mainstream artists, it will
amaze listeners who can analyze
the interweaving of complex com-
positions.
In many ways, Levitation is a
musician's ensemble, designed for
listeners who can sense and appre-
ciate the ingenuity of its construc-
tion.
While Coterie is Levitabon'sfirst
American release, it is their third
album ? their two English EPs,
Coppclia and The After Ever may be
available from retailers who stock
imported recordings.

Pirates snap
streak with 748
win over GMU
By Robert S. Todd
Staff Writer
"Praise the Lord! We won
said a delighted Eddie Payne.
ECU snapped a four-game
losing streak by defeating George
Mason University, 74-68 Monday
night in Minges Coliseum. The
Pirates are now 8-15 on the year
and 3-8 in the conference. The
team also broke a 15-game losing
streak against the Patriots that
dated back to Jan. 25, 1986.
The Patriots lost the lead on a
22-0 ECU run with 7:56 left in the
first half. The Tiratcs held George
Mason to 20 first-half points on
29.6 percent shooting from the
floor.
Lester Lyons sparked the Pi-
rates' scoring run and finished
with 21 points, eight rebounds
(equaling his career high) and two
blocked shots. Point guard
Ronnell Peterson contributed 16
points and a career-high eight
boards.
he team came out relaxed
in tne second half Peterson said.
"Guys stopped running the floor
- I've got to keep pushing the
ball
Despite a lead of as many as
25 points, the Pirates let George
Mason cut the lead to single fig-
ures late in regulation.
Only two Patriot players shot
over 50 percent for the game,
while ECU shot an uncharacter-
istic 49 percent as a team. Anton
Gill connected on six-of-eight
shots and ended regulation with
14 points and 12 rebounds, tying
a career high.
"1 thought James Lewis did a
great job Payne said. "He plays
better against bigger people for
some reason
Lewis, the Pirates' six-foot
six-inch center, out-scored and
out-rebounded the only seven-
foot player in the Colonial Ath-
letic Association. He totaled 11
points and four rebounds.
The Pirates travel to Old Do-
minion Saturday, and a win could
put the team in fifth place in the
CAA. ECU hopes to remain out
of the cellar, which would give
them a higher seed in the tourna-
ment-avoiding a first round con-
frontation against James Madi-
son or Richmond.

us a great deal of confidence

Nightmare continues as Pirates lose Whitakei; game
By Robert S. Todd
Staff Writer
The 1991-92 ECU men's bas-
ketball season can be summed upin
three words ? a bad dream
The ailing Pirates (7-15) failed
to connect on a three-point attempt
in the final seconds of Saturday's
game with American University,
and the team lost, 69-66. The loss
was the team's sixth straight throe
in a nw in Colonial Athletic Asso-
ciation play.
"This game is like a reoccuring
nightmare Head coach Eddie
Payne said.
The Pirates had a chance to send
the game to overtime after Donald
Grant sank one of two shots from
the free throw line, but Lester Lyons
could not get open for the final shot
and Ronnell Peterson's three-point
attempt fell short. ECU is now 1-riin
games decided by five points or
less.
Questionable calls by the refer-
ees left many Pirate players in foul
trouble. ECU shot no free throws in
the first half despite aggressive
Amencan play. The Eagles shot
more than twice as many free
throws as the Pirates in the con-
test, and are eighth in the nation in
free throw percentage.
"1 would certainly take issue
with a lot of the calls that were
made Payne said. "But that hap-
pens every game

only Pirate to score in double fig-
ures finishing with 25. "1 prefer to

Payne, rotating his line-up for
the seventh time this season, found
his team tied with the Eagles at 37-
37 at intermission.
After shixting an anemic 27.8
percent from the floor at James
Madison, the Pirates managed to
find the basket just 31 percent of the
time against the Eagles in the sec-
ond half.

Lacrosse club to field young team

After posting the best record in
the history of the ECU lacrosse pro-
gram last year, the Pirates will set their
sights once again on the conference
championships. New faces, a tough
schedule and a loss of five middies

this season very competitive.

Don't you guys realize

In early January, an

were simply victims ol a

that was poorly managed

Ownersexecutives
are supposed to be intelli-
gent, and common sense
avs that North Carolina
has three areas that can
support major profes-
sional sports: Charlotte,
the Inad area (Greens-
boro, High Point,Win-
ston Salem), and the
I nangle area (Raleigh,
Durham and Chapel Hill).
The financial base is
here that is, the popula-
tion level has continued to
increase over recent years
and moa- and more busi-
nesses are relocating to the
Tar Heel state. The geo-
political layout of the state
also weighs heavily, in that
those sports not as promi-
nent as others have an equal
chance for survival (look at
the ECHL's Icecaps and
Monarchs).
So you owners of the
NBA, NFL, NHL and
Major League Baseball are
going to have to under-
stand that North Carolina
is starving for "big time"
pro athletics.
(nly in North Caro-
lina can struggling teams
till their stadium or arena
night after night. Don't
you think that teams like
the New England Patriots,
Sacramento Kings, Phoe-
nix Cardinals, and Seattle
Mariners wish they were
here?
What this means,
owners, is that next time
your leagues expand, you
must make the right
decision. You must
expand in North Carolina

The Pirates travel to Old Do-

(RS)?ECU'S Intramural three-
on-three men's and women's bas-
ketball champion teams recently
competed in the Atlantic Regional
Tournament at Furman University
in Greenville, S.C Both teams were
placed in round robin leagues at the
event and advanced to the single-
elimination competition.
The men's team, The Untouch-
ables, copied the Cinderella story of
the ECU football season. Through-
out the round robin play, The Un-
touchables were led by the slashing
penetration of point guard Greg
Stewart, the rebounding muscle of
Rafael McBroom, Bryan Lee's hot
three-point hand and the smooth
play of Mark Hoch.
After advancing through the
round robin tournament, ECU found
itself in the quarterfinal round play-
ing the Coastal Carolina. With Hoch
and Lee sinking three pointers and
excellent passing around the perim-
eter, McBroom and Stewart wea
able to penetrate and scorea number
ot layups. The team won and ad-
vanced to ptayN.G Wesleyan.
The quick, accurate and physi-
cal N .C Wesleyan team battled hard,
but came up short against The Un-
touchables, 35-30. The win pitted
ECU against the tournament favor-
ite, Voorhees College out of South
Carolina.
The Untouchables jumped out
to a 12-0 lead with each of the team
members contributing a basket.
Voorhees became Frustrated with
their inability to penetrate ECU's
defense, nor could they stop the
sh(xting ot Hoch and Stewart. The
game ended when Voorhees re-
ceived three technical fouls for
unsportsmanlikeconduct. ECU won
40-30. With this victory. The Un-
touchables gained a berth to the re-
gional final to be played in the Char-
lotte Coliseum on against UNC-
Chapel Hill.
The Pirates and Tar Heels
played a highly competitive game
with the Tar Heels mocking Hubert
Davis' three-point attack. ECU was
also scoring from "trey land as
well as tallying points from in the
paint.
At the end of regulation, the
game was tied 39-39. Following a
two-minute overtime period, ECU
won the game 45-44.
The women's team, FT in Mo-
tion, faced Francis Marion College in
the first game and lost 25-23. The
team then faced Lenoir Rhyne, their
only win of the tournament.
ECU stars shined as Katrina
Evans proved to be a dynamic point
guard combining great assists with
an effective left-handed bank shot.
Tonya Komna th played an outstand-
ing game with jump shots and m-
sidesconng, while teammatesCrys-
tal Kennedy and Heidi Schulz made
several nice assists and layups to
spark the team.
Even though the team lost two
out of three games in their bracket,
FT in Motion made it to the
quarterfinal round of eight teams.
The team played a great game, but
fell short to Fayetteville State, 24-22.
