ottu es
Since 1974 the Intemati
1 louse has sen ed asbotha dorm
and a muitii ultural ei
where students from around the
world tome togethi i ti earn
live eat and sleep Because of a
shortage oi space, the building
will be i onverted to the hi
quarters ot the department of
International Programs.
?V ording to Inez Fridle
director of student services, in-
ternational students now must
live in the dorms or off-campus.
She said the department ot Resi-
dent Housing has already re-
ceived 5( I1 more applications tor
on-campus housing than thev
in.u commodate, and theshort-
age nt dorm rooms has caused
pn hlems in dealing with inter-
national students.
"1 think tor the next two
vears it is going to he difficult
because we are going to have
international students coming
in, but weare reallv not going to
have anv place to house them
Fridlev said. "We have resen ed
sime suites in IMk to provide
temporary, over-night housing
until thev find a place to live "
Slav and Umstead dormito-
ries closed last spring for reno-
vations. Fridlev said the dorms
will reopen as a single residence
hall in two vears, and a wing of
the new Slav I mstead complex
mav he dedicated to interna-
tional students.
e have talked about pro-
gramming the building so that a
portion it it might be reserved
tor those students v ho want to
live in .n international erw lron-
ment, both students form North
Carolina and the States as well
as international students
Fridlev said.
According to Lucy Wright,
assistant dean of students, the
International House closed be-
cause the division of Academic
Affairs wanted to designate a
place tor International Pro-
grams, currently located in
Brewster. She said the offices
will bring together several in-
ternational programs including
International Studies, Interna-
tional Affairs and the Stud)
Abroad program. These pro-
grams will then come under the
supen isionofa single director
I he director will reportdt-
rectlv to the vice chancellor of
a ademic affairs Wright said.
! hree people have been inter-
viewed for the job, and the po-
sition should be tilled by the
end of the summer
Wright said there will be
offices upstairs, and the large
reception area downstairs will
remain open for studentand fac-
ulty functions that were carried
out at the international House
However, she said the entire
building mav become offices if
space for the various interna-
tional programs becomes
sparse
Wright, who has worked
with the house since Wni, said
the house also gae the interna-
tional student community an
identifying space on campus.
"Down the road it would be
a very heaithv thing to have a
designated space tor interna-
tional students on our campus
Wrieht said, "l think there is
some interest in doing that, but
right niw weareo pressed with
space while the two dorms are
closed we cannot do that until
we get past this point '

A center dedicated lo promot-
ing ethnic understanding opened
last month in Greenville.
More than 350 people at-
tended the East Carolina
Multicultural C enter's opening
ceremony on April 13 in the
Greenville Hilton. The purpose
of the ECMC is to bring informa-
tion dealing with all the different
cultures that exist in this region
to one central location. In Titt
county, more than 40 different na-
tionalities are represented, imply-
ing that information dealing with
another persons native customs
can always be expressed.
Mohammed Ahad, founder of
the ECMC, began the ceremony
by addressing ways in which the
ECMC can benefit students in col-
lege, high school, and even grade
school Ahad also mentioned how
the ECMC would be useful to the
business community regarding
EASTERN
CAROLINA
information relating to interna
tional trade
Barry Gaskins,
a Public Informa-
tion Director,
supports Ahad -
views dealing
with educational
issues.
"Cultural di-
versity can only
accent the educa-
tion process by
making each and every student
more informed and aware about
the world in which they live
Gaskins said.
Javier Castillo expressed
ways in which businesses could
profit from the system offered.
"The Eastern Carolina
Multicultural Center can be a re-
source for businessmen where
they can find information about
countries in which they are inter-
ested in conducting business
Mayor Nancy Jenkins said
the ECMC would create harmony
TETURAL
CENTER
within the community. "Such
an understanding is conductive
to peace, progress
and happiness of
the people of the
region she said.
Jenkins cut
the ribbon and
congratulated
Ahad and the
board members.
She also pro-
claimed the week
of April 27-May 1 as
Multicultural week and encour-
aged the city to participate in
the week's activities.
The ECMC will sponsor
events that are taking place in
upcoming months.
Anlndian Eilm Festival will
be held on July 10 at the
Mendenhall Student Center, and
an educational program titled
"Multicultural Knowledge Im-
plications for the Future" will
be shown in September.
Students rece: v mg financial aid suffered
a major set back when a provision passed
through Congress requiring all students re-
ceiving federal financial aid to pass a credit
check before receiving any money.
The controversial provision, which
passed in the Emergency Unemployment
Act last fall, went into effect last October but
the Department of Education has yet to set
up regulations to enforce the new law.
"I hope thev are not going to be too strict
about what will pass said Erin Becker, a
senior art educahon major, "lean see coming
down on someone who doesn't pay their
bills, but denying money for every bad check
will put a lot of people in jeopardy. It scares
me to know that a mistake I made years ago
could still hurt me tixiay
"It depends on what they're looking
for said Josh Lesniak, a junior art major.
"I'm not really worned about it, though
Steve Baxley, a senkr in the communi-
cation department, agrees with the
government's nght to investigate any pos-
sible credit risks.
"If you're 21 and you have a history ot
bad credit, the government has a right to
know about it he said. "As long as you

three choices tor the position. In Akron, Eakin received
support from the university's department heads and
deans. He traveled to Akron Mav 1S and 1 to intjerv lew
with university officials.
The University oi Akron's enrollment is 28,00ft
making it the third largest state-assisted university on
Ohio.
Before coming to ECU in 1987, Eakin spent 23 years
at Bow ling C.reen in Ohio as the school's vice president.

The dilemma over the high pnees and the inability
to sell back college textbooks rages on here on this
campus, as well as on campuses all over the country.
Students blame the bookstores, bookstores blame the
publishers, and publishers want to make a profit
"1 bought a book for summer school for $60, and I
already know I'm going to have buy the new edition in
the fall' said Pauline Swan, a junior majonng in nurs-
ing. "I feel like 1 just threw away $60
Liz Veytia, textbook manager for University Book

stores. "We are not responsible for setting the pnees;

1 ighteen percent of the 1I

in 1987 graduated in tour years
according to Claudia McCann se-

Summer school and heavy
course loads are the answer for
many -tudents wanting to gradu-
ate in the traditional tour vears.
1arv lllen lanham, a recent
graduate, said " 1 he only reason 1
graduated on time i- because of
summer school
Students often comptainabout
the problems with the ability ot
receh ingthe lassestheyneedeach
semester during registration, so
they putott taking those classes for
a semester or two.
Senior Chris FeUds said that he
would probably graduate in five
vears. "The first two years I had
trouble getting thei lasses I needed,
then 1 got a job
Another problem with gradu-
ating in four vears is the schools
such as music, art, theater and edu-
cation. "Generally it's the rule ot
thumb that it takes five vears to
graduate from music said Mich-
elle Shular, a voice education ma or
who is graduating in tour years
with IS hours of summer school
and at least lh hours a semester.
"At mv first advising sess:on,
thev told me 1 had to take IS hours

who took 21 hour- .i semester
It a student does not enter
schools like musu when they are
freshmen, they have no chance of

Summer school and heavy

If a student does not enter

New aid retrictions hurt students
One thing that college graduates have
been notoriously good for in recent years
pertains to paying back college loans. They
don't do it.
The government has taken a step they
hope will curtail the non-return rate, in the
form of a credit check. Prospective students
with a bad history of paying debts may find
themselves denied an opportunity for edu-
cation.
Or perhaps any history will be held
against the student. Though the provision
passed through congress in the Emergency
Unemployment Act in October, the Depart-
ment of Education has still set no guide-
lines. This evinces a typical problem of our
legislative system and the state of education
in America today. Solutions are constantly
proposed without being thoroughly con-
sidered, examined or tested. Any measure
taken is considered an answer.
Energy would be better spent finding
ways to enforce delinquent repayment than
casting strikes against a teenager who had
trouble balancing a checkbook, or whatever
criteria may be employed. Even an incom-
ing student with a clean record will be
branded with an inquiry, and that is cer-
tainly no help.
Our entire financial aid program needs
serious restructuring and revamping to func-
tion smoothly. Hassles and red tape are too
regular for the student needing assistance,
and this is very often the student who wants
the education the most. Tacking on a credit
check to a thoroughly flawed system can
not make it suddenly work.
Graduates have a responsibility to re-
pay what got them there, with money or
perhaps preferably service that befits their
education. But let us not judge the college
scholar by the novice high-schooler.

To fNSHRE RETURM OF
COLLEGE. LOANS
Esse Quam Videri
guments
By
Parker
Editorial
Columnist
As if the newly recharged ten-
sions concerning civil rights weren't
fun enough, this year also offers the
impending overturning of Roe r.
Wade And with each confrontation
between pro-life and pro-choice
groups, angers flare more and the
country divides further.
Many of the pro-lifers have in-
genious rhetoric One nationally aired
commercial shows a group of happy
adopted kids, the results of
unplanned or unwanted pregnancies.
What the commerci-l doesn't show
is the much larger number of un-
wanted children who live in severe
poverty and look forward to a life of
mental and physical abuse. The self-
proclaimed moralists don't do much
in the way of defending mem.
Most pro-choice advocates
have an equally effective but skewed
argument for their cause. Often
fronted by groups like NOW, the
prime defense is usually for a
"woman's right to choose turning
the debate into more of a civil rights
issue. It's not. Women would have to
be asexually reproducing creatures
and an outside doctor not be involved
for that to be accurate.
The actual issue, which people
used to discuss before it became a
defining point for extremist political
ideologies, is whether a person is be-
ing killed. That philosophical ques-
tion is what makes thechoice so hard,
and what may make our court opt for
the easier out of putting the decision
in the state courts' hands.
When is consciousness
achieved? Does it come when a new-
born is technically "bom or during
some point of conception? Is the po-
tential for individuality the same
thing as being an individual? Catho-
lic orthodoxy traces the potential all
the way back to the sperm (hence no
condoms), which still oddly allows
for the "deaths" of millions even in
fertilization. Pro-life advertisements
often show visuals of fully formed
fetuses to dissuade abortionists, and
there is no apparent physical differ-
ence between the embryo and result-
ing baby (though incidentally, very
few abortions are actually performed
at that point).
In other words, the issue is far
more complicated and deserving of
actual discussion than the billboard
generalizations of "baby-killing" and
"its my body" auow. With the re-
moval of special interest groups, the
divided public might discover it has
more common ground than is appar-
ent. A majority of both groups may
be mostly opposed to abortion as
mere birth control, and can take steps
towards preventing that. Perhaps
abortion could be forbidden only in
the third trimester, where the call
becomes toughest to make.
What? A compromise on this
fundamentally dividing issue? Surely
1 can't be suggesting such a thing.
Well yes, I am. Without more toler-
ance and at least a semblance of un-
derstanding between the hostile par-
ties, our nation faces an unending
inner conflict that will continue to
pull apart our leadership, our fami-
lies, and to some extent, our society.
On a purely legislative note,
the expectation of our current con-
servative Supreme Court to overturn
the ruling destroys the "room for ide-
alism" notion that comes with per-
manent appointment of judges. If an
untouchable judicial body isn't free
from political struggle, then our na-
tional aspiration for a common jus-
tice has a bleak future.
One thing is a certainty: if tile
Rehnquist court throws the ball back
in the hands of state government
now after twenty years of the stand-
ing law, "unrest" will not qualify as
a description for the localized battles
to come. X
I don't normally complain in
print about abuses of the English lan-
guage, for two reasons First, it's like
shooting fish in a barrel, these days,
the English language is so badly
abused by so many people that it's
actually embarrassingly easy to write
a column on the subject.
Second, mere's always some-
thing of more immediate importance,
something mat needs to be written
about this week. People will still be
saying "incidence" instead of "inci-
dent" next week; but who knows
whether they'll remember Adnan
Kashoggi that long?
But I read a book this weekend
that concentrated a lot of language-
mangling in one place, and so here I
am, complaining in printabout abuses
of the English language The book is
Bushisms, compiled by the editors of
The New Republic. It's a collection of
some of President Bush's unscripted
comments, many of them made at
press conferencesand campaign stops
A "Bushism for those of you who
don't read the magazine, is one of the
president's characteristic mutilations
of the language. Examples will fol-
low
Used properly, language evokes
strong visual images, often through
the use of metaphors, which sharpen
and clarify our thinking. Used slop-
pily, language simply sounds impres-
sive and means nothing at all, or means
something different from what one
speaker intends, or even, in many
cases, means two contradictory things
at once. Sloppy speech indicates
sloppy or duplicitous thinking.
George Bush has an unparal-
leled ability to use language in this
way, to seem to say something with-
out actually saying anything. For ex-
ample, he almost invariably mixes his
metaphors, indicating that he has no
clear mental image to convey. Those
metaphors he doesn't mix, he mis-
uses, much like the infamous Ms.
Malaprop. No one can be expected to
speak perfect English, but Bush's
speech is awful beyond belief. Let me
give you some examples:
"Please don't ask me to do mat
which I've just said I'm not going to
do, because you're burning up time,
the meter is running through the sand
on you, and 1 am now filibustering "
'The Democrats want to ram it
down my ear in a political victory
'1 don't want to get, you know,
here we are close to the election ?
sounding a knell of overconfidence
that I don't feel
"You've got to sha ke them (ca n-
bou) away with a stick
All of these quotes, by the way,
are directly from the book, which also
gives dates and contexts for the state-
ments. Since our concern here is only
with the language use, I have omitted
the contextual information.
More often, Bush is simply in-
comprehensible: "High tech is potent,
precise, and in the end, unbeatable.
The truth is, it reminds a lot of people
of the way I pitch horseshoes. Would
you believe some of the people7 Would
If these were isolated
incidents, mere
occasional slips of the
tongue by a man
otherwise noted for his
clarity and precision,
they would not be
especially troubling
But they're absolutely
typical of Bush.
you believe our dog? Look, 1 want to
give the high-five symbol to high
tech
But the most disturbing quotes
in the book are the ones in which Bush
flatly contradicts himself, sometimes
making his contradictory statements
within days or even minutes of each
other. He can't evtn keep his own
stories straight.
"I don't want to just sit here
blamingCongress. I mean, we're all in
this together Bush said to one news-
man. A few minutes later, he told
another: "I think the Congress should
be blamed
Over a three-month period,
Bush made the following statements
about his emotions: "I'm just not an
emotional kind of guy "If I show
some emotion, that's just the way 1
am" "I'm not too good at the emo-
tional side " "We Bushes cry easily '
And, last but least: "If occasionally 1
do go up in smoke, it's not related to
this line of work His series of com-
ments about the recession was only
slightly less hilarious.
Listen in on this exchange, as
Bush defended breaking his "no new
taxes" promise:
Bush: "Let me be clear, I'm not
in favor of new taxes I'll repeat that
over and over and over again. And
this one compromise that ? where
we begrudgingly had to accept rev-
enues, revenue increa ses, is the excep-
tion that proves the rule
Reporter: "The exception that
proves the rule?"
Bush: "Therukthatl'rn strongly
opposed to raising taxes
Well, that clears that up. His
agreement to raise taxes proves that
he opposes raising taxes.
If these were isolated incidents,
mere occasional slips of the tongue by
a man otherwise noted for his clarity
and precision, they would not be es-
pecially troubling, and making fun of
them would be both unfair and child-
ish.
But they're absolutely typical
of Bush. You wouldn't know it from
listening to his speeches, which are
about all mat most people ever hear
from him, but his speeches don't re-
veal anything about how he thinks.
He doesn't write them.
Listen, instead, to a press con-
ference with the president ? not just
the ten-second ex jerpt on the evening
news, but the whole sorry affair, start
to finish. I've done it more than once,
and I usually have to lie down after-
wards until the headache goes away.
He speaks, but he does not communi-
cate, and he thereby cheapens the
value of language.
The same day I read Bushisms, I
read that the Bush Administration is-
sued an executive order permitting
the CoastCuard to return Haitian boat
people to Haiti. The White House de-
fended the action by saying it was
protecting thelives of Haitians, whose
boats aren't equipped to make the
600-mile sea journey to this country.
If it was anyone other than Bush
who came up with that transparently
false justification for the policy shift,
I'd be surprised. Or perhaps I should
be worried: it would mean his disease
is spreading.
Letters to the Editor
Students support
Enrighf s view
To the Editor:
We would like to commend Dr.
Enright for his insightful May 20th
letter regarding abortion. In ithe states,
The toleration of such moral mon-
strosity diminishes us all noamount
of perfume poured on 'tissue' can dis-
guise the fact that we are killing our
own young As pro-life students on a
campus where pro-abortion attitudes
prevail, we found Dr. Enright's letter
encouraging.
Based on statistics obtained
from the U.S. Department of Health
andHumanServices.ninety-eightper-
cent of all abortions are done as a
means of birth control or to hide an
unexplained pregnancy. A mere two
percent are performed because of a
rape, incest or threat to the life of the
mother.
Studies by the Alan Cuttmacher
Institute, the research arm of Planned
Parenthood, have shown that forty
percent of all women who have had
an abortion will have two or more.
Furthermore, fifty percent of all abor-
tions are done on women who use
abortion as their only means of birth
control.
Many professors and students
consider the pro-life perspective to be
dose-minded and fanatical. Given the
above statistics, we have to wonder
who the cloee-umded really are. Many
pro-abortion professors perpetrate
their personal views on abortion in
their classes, influencing students who
have no preconceived ideas about
abortion. Many studentsare unaware
of the true facts behind the propa-
ganda.
Obviously, the issues surround-
ing abortion are not clear cut; how-
ever, abortion is dearly the taking of
human life, not just the removal of
unwanted "medical tissue

Style divide
By Jim Shamlin
Staff Writer
On the alternative scene, it's not
unusual for a band to surround itself
in the exotic babble-vomit of Onental
mysticism, vegetarianism and mass
consciousness?in fact, it'squite com-
mon ? but the same practice is un-
conscionable in the heavy metal mar-
ket ?or, at least, it was, until Course of
Empire.
The hype s urrounding this band' s
debut album bills it as "a group with
a philosophical and moral agenda"
and unabashedly latches on to every-
thing from mass consciousness to trib-
alism in a pretentious show of pseudo-
intellecrualism.
Course of Empire gets off to a bad
start with "PtahAsoft musical mur-
mur creates a background for a poetry
reading, which is as cheap a rip-off of
the Moody Blues as "Thriller" and
twice as hokey. There is a moment of
silence, and then music ? in the loos-
est sense of the term.
The style is a mutant offspring of
heavy metal. Chad Ijovell hammers
the drums like a spastic orangutan,
playing simplistic rhythms at break-
neck speeds; bassist Paul Semrad saws

Cavedogs rej
Alternative: "It mainly si

By Mark Brett
Staff Writer
The Cavedogs want us all to know
that, despite their fun-loving image,
they are not pleasant people. "In real
life guitarist Todd Spahr said, "we
suck If that is the case, they hid it
remarkably well in a recent telephone
interview. In fact, one would guess
that the above statement is just an-
other facet of the band's dislike of
labels.
One of their least favorite labels,
apparently, is "alternative This par-
ticular label was slapped on their most
recent album, Soul Martini, before the
shrink wrap could cool. "Alternative
is just a label made up by somebody. It
mainly seems to mean a band that
hasn't had any major success Spahr
said.
When such a label can be applied
to as diverse a range of sounds as the
Cavedogs' twisted basic rock chords,
the Dead Milkmen's grunge-punk in-
sanity and the Smithereens' Motown
smoothness, he has a good point.
Soul Martini is a collection of solid
rock and roll tunes (remember those?) deal-
ing with various personal and social con-
cepts. "Love Grenade" takes a look at the
explosion of the offs generation and their
Weals of peace. "Sorrow (Boots of Pain) is an
unrequited love song addressed to a death-
rock girl "Murder" delves into the sickening
spectacle of televised wars as a source of
entertainmentSong-writing is the Cavedogs
greatest strength, and on Soul Martini, while
every song might not be an instant classic
they are well-constructed and deal with most
subjects in an intelligent manner.
With all this very special emphasis on
topic and craftsmanship, the band's reputa-
tion as a -whacky bunch of guys" seems a bit
out of place.

Arrested Development
provides moral healing
Not just another album of problems

By incorporating distinctly different styles, Course of the Empire is an album that suffers from a split personality
complex. The album offers listeners the best of both worlds ? rock and progressive.
Style divides 'Empire'
By Jim Shamlin
Staff Writer
On the alternative scene, it's not
unusual for a band to surround itself
in the exotic babble-vomit of Oriental
mvsticism, vegetarianism and mass
consciousness?in fact,it'squite com-
mon ? but the same practice is un-
conscionable in the heavy metal mar-
ket ?or, at least, it was, until Course of
Empire.
The hype surrounding this band s
debut album bills it as "a group with
a philosophical and moral agenda"
and unabashedly latches on to every-
thing from massconsciousness to trib-
alism in a pretentious show of pseudo-
intellectualism.
Course of Empire gets off to a bad
start with "Ptah A soft musical mur-
mur creates a background for a poetry
reading, which is as cheap a rip-off of
the M(xxfv Blues as "Thriller" and
twice as hokey. There is a moment of
silence, and then music ? in the loos-
est sense of the term.
The stvle is a mutant offspring of
heavy metal: Chad Lovell hammers
the drums like a spastic orangutan,
playing simplistic rhythms at break-
neck speed s; bassist Paul Semrad saws
at a single string, machine-gunning
eighth-notes while relaxing his fret
hand; Mike Graff tosses in a handful of
power chords from some beginner
guitar book; and, above the cacophony,
Vaughn Stevenson tries to sing, but
endsupwhiningandscreaminga nau-
seous imitation of Alice Cooper or
Ozzy Osbourne.
The first six bracks, over half the
album, aredone in the same style, with
only dead air in-between to let the
listener know when one number is
finished and the next begins. In time,
even the lyrics begin to sound the same
? a collage of cliches, repetitive and
melodramatic.
The last half of their album, with
the exception of "Thrust is some-
thing entirely different. "PeaceChild"
is a simple tune, melodic and almost
soothing, in which the musicians be-
gin to make something other than noise
with their instruments and Stevenson
actually sings. Next, "Sins of the Fa-
thers" allows Graff to set aside the
electric guitar and do some admirable
work with an a: uistk. The piece is
light and sonon is, the antipode of
some of the earlier tracks.
The album closes with "Dawn of
the Great Eastern Sun an instrumen-
tal with an Oriental flavor ? smooth,
serene and airy. The peaceful sound is
reminiscent of Kitaro's work, complete
with the interplay of guitar and synthe-
sizer. Although the piece fills the bestsix
minutes of the album, it seems dread-
fully outofplaceamong the other tracks.
Course of Empire's range of styles
suggest that the band ishopingtoachieve
a broad appeal, drawing in profits from
both the heavy metal and alternative
markets. The logic of this is question-
able and the viability is doubtful. The
two audiences are greatly dissimilar.
The metal hordes will probably miss
the point behind all the noise and will
definitely reach for the "stop" button
when the music begins to mellow. The
altemabvecrowd, meanwhile, will prob-
ably appreciate Course of Empire's at-
tention to trendy political issues, but
will probably be alienated by the under-
tone of patricide and incest, if not the
general sound, that putrefies the first
half of the album.
All the same, Course of Empire of-
fers something worthwhile to both au-
diences, and it's a pity that a CD can't be
split in half and each piece given to an
audience that will beappreciative. Hope-
fully, the debut album won't be their
last. Should the band decide to define
their audience more clearly and tailor
their sound accordingly, they may find
success in the future.
Public Enemy has provided the strongest
voice for the issues that confront contemporary
urban society ? without providing any real
answers or remedies.
Arrested Development's album, 3 years, 5
months and 2 days in theLifeof (the time ittook
from the formation of the group to the release
of the album) concisely addresses the issues
that plague the urban community in terms any
child, black or white, is able to understand.
Their window to the issues is as clear as glass.
Speech, the group's writer and producer,
believes that the human spiritual development
proceeds from the beastly to the angelic. He is
trying to open the eyes of his community ?
eyes that have been shut by greed, materialism
and violence.
"Too many black youth have taken on a
destructive mentality Speech said of the black
community. "Sheer materialism, low self-es-
teem, individualism,a lack of respect for elders
and life in general, have plagued the 20th cen-
tury African in hisher community
Rather than echoing the revolutionary cli-
mate that has a grip on this country, Arrested
Development offers solutions ? rather than
simply restating the problems.
Nearly every word on the album is an
indictment of this country's problems and lack
of religion ?even the name of the group speaks
of the frustration they have felt in the strangle-
hold of American society.
Music is not just politics and Arrested De-
velopment takes care of all the rest. Their "cul-
tural-southern-hiphop-folk-ethnic-funk" de-
scribes the group's music perfectly. It is all that
and then some.
In a wonderful twist from the usual Dread
Head style of rap, they incorporate the har-
monica, banjo and guitar to add a blues feeling
no other group in their genre has yet to achieve
However, they are not just another De la Soul
or Tribe Called Quest.
The music they create, as a whole, is very
laid back, yet they hype up the tempo on sev-
eral tracks.
"Mama's Always on Stage" attacks the
problem of single parent families being headed
by teenage women and the lack of responsibil-
ity felt by men today.
A harmonica, incorporated with the unison
calling of "Heyy strikes the listener and cre-
ates a feeling of melancholy and hopelessness
while the driving beat and hard rhythms keep
the words moving at an excited pace.
The story-like quality of the third brack,
"People Everyday adds to the atmosphere of
the confrontation of "a nigger and an African
The song is a modern day spin-off of the Sly
Stone anthem, "Everyday People
Arrested Development attacks America's
black Baptist churches for preaching passive
resistance in the song, "Fishin' 4 Religion
However, expressing the group's attitude
towards the violence of revolution, Speech, with
help from group-member Headliner, writes on
the track "Give a Man a Fish "You can't be
passive, you gota be active ? Can't go with
what looks attractive Poor whites and blacks
bumrushmg the system Raise your fist, but
also raise your children Direct your anger.

leased off the album, is an open letter to God

Many more hits are sure to follow.
Even if you do not see the veins of truth
found throughout the album, the music is easy
to appreciate. The amount of wisdom and en-
joyment a person can buy for about $12 is in-
credible.
In addition to Speech's chores with the
group, he and a friend from college have co-
authored a column in the Milwaukee Community
Journal titled "20th Century African" also known
as the "black by black rundown so you don't get
gunned down
For the past year and a half, Speech has
expressed his concerns in the column and re-
ceived praise from writer Roderick Shaeffer in
the May 1991 issue of Thf Source.

The Cavedogs want us all to know
that, despite their fun-loving image,
they are not pleasant people. "In real

The Cavedogs refuse to allow themselves to be labelled into any group of music. The same refusal
can be heard in their music, which refuses to conform to any set standard.
"One year my wife gave me a
really great Christmas present, a
divorce. So I wrote her this song
With this statement, John Prine
opened his concert on April 9 at
die Mosque in Richmond, Va. The
comment captured perfectly the
witty and comical mood of the
famous rhymster's almost two-
hour set Prine filled about half
mat time with songs from his new
Grammy-winning album. The
Missing Years. However, he took
no chance of alienating long-time
tans whom he gave a wide assort-
ment of his classic tunes from his
entire 20-year career.
During much of his sold-out
show, he was accompanied by
the three-mart unit Sins of
Memphisto, which embellished
the voice of the contemporary folk
singer with a multitude of instru-
ments, including strings, accor-
dion, harmonica, mandocello,
keyboards and flute. The other
half featured Prine playing alone
rjnacoustfcguitar.Switehingback
and forth between the two gave
the show more dimension and
spontaneity.
Between songs, he told brief
anecdotes about how he wrote
certain tongs, one of which was
written after he nustakeruy moved
in with a woman and another
which "was so good" the follow-
ing celebration caused him to
spendanightinjail-SoIjustsat
there in the cell thinking about
how cool the song was Prine
said.
With a smile, Prine captured
the hearts of his audience who
sartg afongwrm songs they recog-
ittitd and tried to follow with the
ones they didn't His songs deal
with many simple, yet serious
themes, Hke war, freedom, old
age and love. However, he wraps
these issues up in ironic and en-
dearing tunes with various lines:
"You may see me tonight with an
illegal smile. It don't cost very
much, but it lasts a long while
Prine also sang classics like "I Wish
You All the Best "Far From Me"
and "Sam Stone which offered
his feelings on heartbreak, loneli-
ness and death, but never without
"his tongue in cheek His unique
mixture of silliness and happiness
made his story-songs seem honest
and genuine.
His new batch of songs seemed
to come alive with the old, often
because of their simple yet honest
motifs. One particularly notewor-
thy song from the new album was
"Big, Old, Goofy World" where
Prine takes a slow, wistful and de-
tached look at the goofiness of the
world we live in.
The opening band, the Cow-
boy Junkies, offered a more sedate
and detached show. Their lead
singer, Margo Timmins' shy, sul-
try demeanor and the band's light
barely audible, bluesy style began
weU,ptoymgsongsfrom their three
albums including three tunes off
their now classic album, The Trin-
ity Sessions. They opened their hour
set with Timmins alone on stage
for the slow, beautiful chant, "Min-
ing for Gold
However, Timmins' trade-
mark breatWess singing and mum-
bling, which seems very provoca-
tive on recordings, came off artifi-
cial and forced during the show.
The audience's enthusiasm
soon shrank to a neutral, light ap-
plause by the end of the Junkies'
show.
The true highlight of their set
was when Prine joined Timmins
ber, If You Were the Woman and
I Was the Man a song from his
new album.

"One year my wife gave me a
really great Christmas present, a
divorce. So 1 wrote her this song
With this statement, John Prine
opened his concert on April 9 at
the Mosque in Richmond, Va. The
comment captured perfectly the
witty and comical mood of the
famous rhymster's almost two-
hour set. Prine filled about half
that time with songs f rom his new
Grammy-winning album, The
Missing Years. However, he took
no chance of alienating long-time
fans whom he gave a wide assort-
ment of his classic tunes from his
entire 20-year career.
During much of his sold-out
show, he was accompanied by
the three-man unit Sins of
Memphisto, which embellished
thevoiceof the contemporary folk
singer with a multitude of instru-
ments, including strings, accor-
dion, harmonica, mandocello,
keyboards and flute. The other
half featured Prine playing alone
on acoustic guitar. Switchingback
and forth between the two gave
the show more dimension and
spontaneity.
Between songs, he told brief
anecdotes about how he wrote
certain songs, one of which was
written after he mistakenly moved
in with a woman and another
which "was so good" the follow-
ing celebration caused him to
spend a night in jail. "So 1 just sat
there in the cell thinking about
how cool the song was Prine
said.
With a smile, Prine captured
the hearts of his audience who
sang along with songs they recog-
nized and tried to follow with the
ones they didn't His songs deal
with many simple, yet serious
themes, like war, freedom, old
age and love. However, he wraps
these issues up in ironic and en-
dearing tunes with various lines:
"You may see me tonight with an
illegal smile. It don't cost very
much, but it lasts a long while
Prinealsosangclassicslike"IWish
You All the Best "Far From Me"
and "Sam Stone which offered
his feelings on heartbreak, loneli-
ness and death, but never without
"his tongue in cheek His unique
mixture of silliness and happiness
made his story-songs seem honest
and genuine.
His new batch of songs seemed
to come alive with the old, often
because of their simple yet honest
motifs. One particularly notewor-
thy song from the new album was
"Big, Old, Goofy World" where
Prine takes a slow, wistful and de-
tached look at the goofiness of the
world we live in.
The opening band, the Cow-
boy junkies, offered a more sedate
and detached show. Their lead
singer, Margo Timmins' shy, sul-
try demeanor and the band's light,
barely audible, bluesy style began
well, playing songs from their three
albums including three tunes off
their now classic album, The Trin-
ity Sessions. They opened their hour
set with Timmins alone on stage
for the slow, beautiful chant, "Min-
ing for Gold
However, Timmins' trade-
mark breathless singing and mum-
bling, which seems very provoca-
tive on recordings, came off artifi-
cial and forced during the show.
The audience's enthusiasm
soon shrank to a neutral, light ap-
plause by the end of the Junkies'
show.
The true highlight of their set
was when Prine joined Timmins
and the Junkies for their final num
ber, "If You Were the Woman and
I Was the Man a song from his
new album.

Weak 'pen ol

By Robert S. Todd
Assistant Sports Editor
There an? very' few s hoob in
the country- where a w inning base-
ball season would be considered
dismal. ECU is one of them.
Head coach Gar.Krerton is
unaccustomed to losing he can
currently boast one of the best win-
ning percentages among active a 1-
lege baseball coaches (r r ECU
claimed the best record in the na-
tion at 47-9.

It would seem Overt r might
have a hard time dealing with the
Pirates posting the worst record in
school history, at 25-24, and the
school's first losing season within
theconference, finishing at 7-10. But
somehow, Overton seems to find a
way to shrug it off, knowing things
will get better.

A weak bullpen, poor fielding
and lack of offense hurt ECU
throughout the season.
The lack of a consistent closer
contributed to several losses, many
that the Pirates were leading until
late in the game. A strong man in
relief may have salvaged three of
the the biggest games of the season
for the Bucs. Twice the Wolfpack of
N.C State rallied to overcome defi-
cits late in the game. As if that were
not enough, a heart-breaking loss in
extra-innings to another Atlantic

JUCO transf
By Charles Mitchell
Senior Sports Writer
After a dismal 10-18 season
filled with sidelining injuries and
many losses- under five points. ECU
Head coach Eddie Payne has com-
pleted what is now considered the
best 1992-93 recruiting class in the
Colonial Athletic Association.
Payne's first signee was the 6-
foot-10-inch, Don Douglas from
Bishop OConnell High School in
Falls Church, Va.
Douglas, a 220-pound center,
begins onlv his fourth season of
competitive basketball after aver-
aging 12 points and 10 rebounds for
his 23-8 Knights last season. Also,
he was listed as honorable mention
All-America in Van Coteman's Fu-
ture Stars, plaved m the Washing-
torvD.C-Virgirua All-Star game last
year and played in a summer league
with several of this year's
Georgetown freshman.
Less than 48 hours later, Payne
inked yet another 6-foot-lO-inch
signee. Bernard Cooper of Bertie
High School agreed to take part in
the 1992-93 Pirate program.
Cooper, a 210-pound, three-
year letterman at Bertie, was All-
Colonial Conference last season af-
ter averaging 18.7 points and 12
rebounds per game for the league
champions. He was named Most
Valuable Flayer lastsumrneratN.C
State's basketball camp and was the
M.V.P. of the Ahoskie Christmas
Tournament held last season.

Pirates bowed out of this year's tour-
nament with two straight losses for
the first time in ECU's history in
Colonial Athletic Association play.
It would seem Overton might
have a hard time dealing with the
Tirates posting the worst record in
schixil history, at 25-24, and the
school's first losing season within
theconference,finishingat 7-10. But
somehow, Overton seems to find a
way to shrug it off, knowing things
wall get better.
"Let'sjustsayitwasdisappoint-
mg that our record was not as good
.is we had hoped Overton said.
'We knew it would be tough to win
a fourth consecutive CAA crown
Sophomore sensation, Johnnv
Beck, echoed the same feelings.
"We were expecting more he
said. "Some of the brakes didn't go
ourwav
A weak bullpen, poor fielding
and lack of offense hurt ECU
throughout the season.
The lack of a consistent closer
contributed to several losses, many
that the Tirates were leading until
late in the game. A strong man in
relief mav have salvaged three of
the the biggest games of the season
tor the Bucs. Twice the Wolfpack of
N.C. State rallied to overcome defi-
cits late in the game. As if that were
not enough, a heart-breaking loss in
extra-innings to another Atlantic
Coast Conference opponent, UNC-
Chapel Hill, exemplified the frus-
tration ECU felt all season trying to
hold onto a lead.
The shoddy glove work of in-
fielders Chad Triplett, Glynn Beck
and Pat Watiuns resulted in 59 of
ECU's 100 errors. Along with those
free passes, ECU catchers failed to
keep the opposition from running.
The Bucs let their opponents take
extrabases, almost at will. The men
wearing the tools of ignorance
gunned down 20 runners in 100
attempts.
"Our biggest disappointment
of the year was our offense
Overton said. "Not onlv did we fail
to produce runs, wed idn't generate
enough offense to get us in scoring
position. Our pitching was solid,
although our bullpen failed to hold
onto leads
The picture seems very bleak.
Success is usually expected from
the Bucs on the baseball diamond.
The Bucs were not only shixiting for
their fourth straightchampionship,
but their fifth in the last six seasons.
Fortunately, one bad season could
never tarnish such a sterling record.
For most of the Pirate faithful,
the expectations of another banner
slipped away before the start of the
season. Juniors Tommy Eason and
John Gast signed professional con-
tracts with the Philadelphia Phillies
and the Cincinnati Reds, respec-
tively.
Eason and Gast, the core of the
Pirate attack, were both named to
the All-CAA team in 1991. In addi-
tion, Gast took home Co-Player of
the Year honors.
"The loss of those two was great
in nature Overton said. "Both of
them had a chance to sign profes-
sional contracts, which is certainly
what we wish for all our players
One of the few bright spots for
the Bucs this past season was the
emergence of Lee Kushner, a trans-
fer from Rice University. Kushner
bettered both Eason and Gast with
the bat, but could not make up for
the loss of both.
"When we recruited Lee, we
were hoping for some power

UNC-Wilmington ended ECU's four-year reign on top of the Colonial Athletic Association's baseball charts by
handing the team a 9-7 loss in the 1992 tournament. The Pirates can only look to next year to regain the title.
Seahawks dump ECU in CAAs
By Robert S. Todd
Assistant Sports Editor
Games are impossible to win with a low-
octane offense, unless you have an impenetrable
defense. For ECU, leads have been a mixed bless-
ing. They have been as difficult to hold on to as a
greased pig and the bullpen does not have any
bulls.
ECU left the Colonial Athletic Association
tournament with a whimper. The Bucs failed to
win a CAA tournament game for the first time in
school history.
In game one of the tournament, held at
Harrington Field, the Pirates rolled over to the
Dukes of James Madison, 2-1.
Johnny Beck allowed only five hits while
striking out eight JMU players over eight innings.
The sixth inning provided the only scoring
for both teams. Lee "Mt. Krushner" Kushner led-
off the top half of the inning with a double to
right-center and advanced to third on a fly ball
to right field by Pat Watkins. Tom Moye drove
Kushner in with a single up the middle.
The bottom of the sixth was the only blem-
ish on Beck's performance. Beck has had prob-
lems with the big inning all season. With one
out, the Duke's Jeff Kaufman drew a walk.
After getting the second out of the inning, Beck
let Kevin Nehring send a shot to right-center
for a double. Kaufman crossed the plate easily.
With Beck rattled, Brian Morabito dialed eight,
sending the ball, again, to deep right-center for
a three-bagger. Beck tften settled down and
Chris Williams popped out to third. Neither
team had a baserunner during the remainder of
the game.
The Bucs found themselves in a must win
See CAA, page 8
Overton said. "He gave us more
than an ample amount (of offense)
from one person. Reluctantly, the
rest of the team did not comply
Unfortunately, Kushner may be
lost by tfie time players pull up their
stirrups and lace their cleats for the
start of next season.
"I would have to be drafted in
the first ten rounds and be guaran-
teed of education after I finish play-
ing Kushner said earlier in the
year. "I love Greenville, and they
would have to make me a hell of an
offer
Kushner placed eighth in the
conference in batting, at 353, sev-
enth in RBI with 42 and third in
home runs, launching 13 over fences

Senior Sports Writer
At the start of the 1992 Lady
Pirate fast pitch sof tball season,Head
coach Sue Manahan was sitting
pretty. Not only did she return with
each player from the 1991 Colonial
Athletic Association championship
team, she added anadditionaJ player
(Sherri Allen) to help fill thecathing
duties behind the plate.
As the season began, senior co-
captains Chanel Hooker and Laura
Crowder led the Lady Bucs into a
year which would place ECU fast
pitch in the spotlight of the nation.
Pitchers Jenny Parsons (38-13),
Georgeann Wilke (4-3) and Tammy
Newman (3 appearances) turned in
outstanding pitching performances.
While seniors Christy Kee and
Mechelle Jones added to the defen-
sive scheme with their aggressive
style play.
The Pirates jumped to a quick
11-0 start averaging seven runs a
game while only allowing the oppo-
sition to one run a game.
Defense played a crucial part in
the Pirate winning style. Withsopho-
mores Stephanie Hobson, Lisa
Coreprew, Laume Farrington and
Michelle Ward stepping up with
caliber defense. The pitching staff
was able to keep the heat on the
opposition.
After a few minor adjustments,
the Lady Pirates were on track with
their 19-6 record. Finishing fourth in
the South Florida tournament and
second in the Lady Pirate Classic.
Manahan and her "Girls of Sum-
mer" were slowly beginning to re-
ceive the local and state attention
they deserved.
Juniors Camrnie Smith and
Cherry Hobson sparked the Pirate
offense, as ECU picked up big wins
against Wright State, Drake Univer-
sity and North Carolina.

Pirates ink key recruits in basketball off-season
Payne gets 'twin towers
JUCO transfer
By Charles Mitchell
Senior Sports Writer
After a dismal 10-18 season
filled with sidelining injuries and
many losses under five points, ECU
Head coach Eddie Payne has com-
pleted what is now considered the
best 1992-93 recruiting class in the
Colonial Athletic Association.
Payne's first signee was the 6-
foot-10-inch, Don Douglas from
Bishop OConnell High School in
Falls Church, Va.
Douglas, a 220-pound center,
begins only his fourth season of
competitive basketball after aver-
aging 12 points and 10 rebounds for
his 23-8 Knights last season. Also,
he was listed as honorable mention
All-America in Van Coleman's Fu-
ture Stars, played in the Washing-
ton,D.C-Virginia All-Stargamelast
year and played in a summer league
with several of this year's
Georgetown freshman.
Less than 48 hours later, Payne
inked yet another 6-foot-10-inch
signee. Bernard Cooper of Bertie
High School agreed to take part in
the 1992-93 Pirate program.
Cooper, a 210-pound, three-
year letterrnan at Bertie, was All-
Colonial Conference last season af-
ter averaging 18.7 points and 12
rebounds per game for the league
champions. He was named Most
Valuable Player lastsummeratNC.
State's basketball camp and was the
M.V.P. of the Ahoskie Christmas
Tournament held last season.
"Right now, we're real pleased
with the two players we got Payne
said. "As we ?et on into our pro-
gram and people get more familiar
with us, that can't do anything but
help
Quickly being dubbed as the
"twin towers Dunbar and Cooper
are expected to pay immediatedivi-
dends for the Pirates.
"We kxjked for guys with some
height, some size and some
strength Payne said. "We found
two young men who are legitimate
big men with strong bodies and
good frames so that they can put on
some weight. We think each can be
a physical force for us
After inking the " twin towers
Cooper and Douglas, Payne added
a premier guard to the Pirate pro-
gram. Kareem Richardson offered
his oral commitment to ECU in
April. Richardson wanted to sign in
the presence of his coach, who was
out of town on vacation.
The 5-fbot-l 1 -inch point guard
from Rantoul, 111 was named the
area Player of the Year. He aver-
aged 245 points per game, hitting
30 percent of his 3-point attempts
and shooting 70 percent from the
free throw line. He led his team in
rebounds, assists, steals and scor-
ing. While being named as the top
player in his area, Richardson was
also named to the Illinois All-State
team. He is expected to assist the
currentback court ball handlers and
may even work as the wing.
With three prospective recruits,
Payne set his sights on a South Caro-
lina "little big man Greg James, a
6-foot-4 and one-half-inch forward
from EauClair High School in Co-
lumbia, S.C, became the fourth
sienee for the 1992 Pirate recruiting
r
Pierson finds players to fill
holes left by graduation
class.
"Greg is a young man who is a
proven winner Payne said. "He is
competitive and tough. I think hell
bring a lot to our program
James will bring a lot to the
ECU program. He averaged 18.9
points and 4.8 boards per game last
season for the Shamrocks, who fin-
ished 23-5 for Coach George
Gryrnph. He was named honorable
mention All-America in several
publications, includingHoop Scoop
and Cage Scope.
With four outstanding recruits
in hand and the spring signing pe-
riod about to end (May 15,1992),
Payne was sitting pretty. However,
his smile gleamed a little brighter
after the announcement of two ad-
ditional signees.
Wilber Hunter, a 66 forward
tromChowanCoUegeand Simpson
"Bump" Toliver of Hargrave Mili-
tary prep school in Chatham, Va
were the final prospects to sign their
rational letters of intent to play bas-
ketball for coach Eddie Payne.
Hunter average 16.4pointsand
67 rebounds per game for Chowan
last season. The Raleigh, N.C, na-
tive, was voted Chowan'sMVPand
named All-Carolinas Conference
last season. Hunter is often com-

After a 21-8 season and the
graduation of five seniors, Head
coach Pat Pierson had her basket-
ball recruiting goals set.
First she took a road trip to
Northwest High School in Georgia
to pay a visit to Belinda Cagle.
Cagle, a 5-foot-10-inch guard,
who averaged 20 points a game
along with seven rebounds and six
assists, was the first recruit in the
Pierson stable.
"Belinda is the type of student-
athlete we were looking for to fur-
ther the success of Lady Pirate bas-
ketball said Pierson. "She excels
in athletic competition and is also
an outstanding student
Cagle, as team captain, helped
lead her high school squad to a 19-
8 record and to die Georgia 2A
Regional Championship. In addi-
tion, she was named to the Georgia
State Athletic All-Star Team and to
the Georgia-Tennessee All-Star
team.
"She is a strong perimeter
shooter and, most of all, a very
versatile athlete Pierson said of
her first recruit
Next, Pierson was on her way
to the state of Virginia. There she
had her eyes set on a jewel of a
player. Kisha (pronounced quteh-
a) Redcross would be the next
signee for the 1992-93 Lady Pirates
team.
Redcross, a 5-foot-ll-inch,
four-year starting forward at
Gloucester High School, plays
Plsrson's style of basketball.
"Kisha plays a similar game to
Tonya Hargrove and is the type of
recruit we were looking for to re-
place her Pierson commented.
Hargrove was a two-time Lady Pi-
rate MVP & the 1990-91 Colonial
Athletic Association Player of the
Year. She graduated this past
school year.
Redcross averaged 15.2 points
a game, nine boards and shot 52
percent from the field. She was
also named to the Virginia High
School Ail-Star team and the All-
District unit
As to style and ability, coach
Pierson said this of her second re-
cruit: "She is very physical and
goes hard to the basket. She defi-
nitely fits thedescriptionof a power
forward
With two recruits signed,
Pierson was still working on an-
other. As expected she signed her
third recruit in 19 days.
Latesha Sutton from Green
Central High School, here in East-
em North Carolina, signed her let-
ter of intent In her senior year,
Sutton was second in the eastern
Plains Conference in scoring (185
per game), first in rebounding (12.9
per game) and fifth in steals (2.7
per game). Asa 5-foot-9-inch guard,
she was a Daily Reflector All-Area
and East-West All Star selection.
"Latesha is an exceptional ath-
lete who can do a variety of things
on the basketball court" Pierson
ssidof their Utestsignee. "Sheisan

"1 would be surprised if Lee
Kushner does not get a chance to
play professional baseball
Overton said. "He's certainly a hit-
ter the professional peopleare look-
ing for ? he has a knack for setting
pitchers up. He's an intelligent hit-
ter
Kushner is spending his sum-
mer with the North East Collegiate
League ? a wood bat league spon-
sored by Major League Baseball.
Scouts will have an eye on him
while he plays in New York and
may choose him high enough in the
draft to lure him away from
Harrington Field.

season should fadeaway with real-
ization of the potential next year's
team has. The possible return of
Kushner, the return of the staff's
ace, Beck,outfielder David Leisten,
who finished fifth in the conference

Beck will be sharpening his
tools in the Cape Cod League this
summer.

ally helps a pitcher a lot Beck said.
"You can pitch inside more - there

Beck may already haveenough

league in strike outs, with 91. Beck
was only eight off the lead despite
pitching 15 less innings than league
leader Stephen Lyons of Old Do-
minion University.
Playing in the summer leagues,
Beck said, will give him a chance to
work on his pitching and get expe-
rience against players from all over
the country.
"(Next season) I expect to be a

"We haven't released our re-
cruiting list yet, but we have signed
a freshman who can hut and prob-
ably play rightaway Overton said.
"We've also signed a JUCO transfer
who was a pretty high draft choice
out of high school. The reason I'd
rather not release his name, is be-
cause next Monday (June 25) is the

seems dismal, as well as being the
worst in school history, says a lot
