Questions surround student's death
The murder of a Middle Tennessee State University stu-
dent and the beating of her fiance has left officials with nothing
butquestions. Senior Heather Urfelmanaccompanied her fiance,
Jeremy Rolfs, to Marietta, Ga to meet with a prospective busi-
ness client. Rolfs was to meet the client in a hotel room on behalf
of his employer, Halsey International of Nashville. Rolfs was
beaten and hospitalized with head injuries, requiring 40 stitches,
but was able to attend Uffelman's funeral. "Heather was just
tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time said Capt.
Walter Parker of the Marietta Police Department.
Student sues Chili Peppers
A former George Mason University student has filed a $4
million dollar lawsuit against the Red Hot Chili Peppers for
damages as a result of a 1989 sexual assault. The woman was
assisting band members outside their dressing room when lead
singer Anthony Kiedis asked whether she would have sex with
him and thrust his penis in her face. Kiedis was convicted of
sexual assault and indecent exposure in 1990 in Fairfax County,
Va. He was fined and sentenced to one day in jail. Kiedis
appealed the case, but the appeals court upheld the conviction.
Blacks push for change in UNC system
Black student leaders from three North Carolina universi-
ties gathered recently on the Brickyard at North Carolina State
University and denounced a system that they said is stacked
against them. About 100 students represented the UNC-CH
Black Awareness Council, N.C. Central University and NCSU.
Thabiti Anyabwile, a student from NCSU said cultural integra-
tion efforts are unacceptable because they are governed by
whites. "The problem with multi-culturalism is has been taught
from European prejudiced perspective Anyabwile said. All of
the students asked for a change in the treatment of minority
students in the UNC system.
Students graduate 50 years later
It was 50 years late, but 19 Japanese-American classmates,
clad in caps and gowns, finally held formal commencement
exercises at the University of California at Berkeley. The 1942
graduates had received their original diplomas by mail while
imprisoned at a World War II internment camp. About 90 mem-
bers of the class were located and attended the fall convocation.

WHY A NURSE

The reasons are quite clear.
? Leadership. Working with

Such opportunities in the Army
Reserve are an important part
of a nurse's career path.

The Hanover Band was formed in 1980 by its Artistic Director,
Caroline Brown. The band uses authentic instruments of the Hanoverian
period. It also follows the principles of interpretation that were in use
during that time.
In order to create a classical orchestra which could revitalize
and expand the listener's musical awareness of the rich repertoire of the
period, research has been made into playing techniques, tempo, pitch,
set-up of the instruments, and use of the original or exact replicas of the
instruments of the period. This ensemble often consults original manu-
scripts and first editions of compositions in order to replicate music as the
composers would have scored them.

Opinion

Rock the Vote urges more voters
On Nov. 3, a significant increase of people in
the age group of 18 to 24-year-olds showed up at
the polls to voice their opinions.
Since 1971, the year when 18-year-olds were
given the right ? and privilege ? to vote,
participation by young people has declined ev-
ery year. In 1988, a whopping 36 percent of
voters that age took the time to make a differ-
ence in their country's future. So members of the
recording industry decided to encourage this
group to become involved in democracy and
politics.
Thus Rock the Vote was born.
Rock the Vote is a non-profit organization
who recognized that 18 to 24-year-olds have
shown a massive indifference to civic participa-
tion. Rock the Vote believes that young people
can make a difference in their society by electing
politicians, passing laws and implementing
policies.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported that out of
a total of 25,569,000 18 to 24-year-olds in the
United States, 12,321,000 were registered to vote
and 9,255,00 voted in the 1988 election. This
means that 36.1 percent of the total 18-24 popu-
lation voted and that 75.1 percent of registered
voters voted in 1988.
In the 1992 election, 11,440,000 young people
voted out of a total of 26,392,000. This raised the
figure from 36.1 percent to 43.3 percent. This
A VIEW FROM ABOVE
Clinton's schemes will destroy industries
may not seem a large increase (7.2 percentage
points); but when figured, the voter turnout has
been raised by 20 percent over the last four
years.
Also, when looked at in conjunction with
the population increase of young people (that of
3.2 percent), statistics show that only a small
part of that 20 percent came from population
growth. Statistics also show that the overall
population increased by only 8.9 percent, cut-
ting in half the 18 to 24-year-olds' percentage.
An increase of this size can only be ap-
plauded. The statistics show that young people
are more concerned with their country and how
it is run. They want a say in who gets elected and
what laws are passed; the years of sitting idly
by, zapping that remote control are over. Voices
are being heard.
Efforts by Music Television and Rock the
Vote should be applauded also. Through con-
stant reminders, the youth of today can see their
effect and know that their one, lone vote does
count. If enough lone votes are tallied, then
things will change.
Apathy towards our society and its changes
could possibly be the biggest challenge that we,
as college students, face. By showing that we are
concerned with what happens in our futures,
students show the politicians that they just can't
disregard us.
By T. Scott Batchelor
Election day has finally come
and gone. Dustfrom the campaign
trail and the confetti from Gover-
nor Clinton's victory party has
settled, so now we can take a clear,
comprehensive look at the presi-
dent-elect's pet policies.
Let's start with theConstitu-
tion, specifically the Second
Amendment to that document.
You know, the one that says op-
pressive government-can't strip a
citizen of the right to bear arms.
Well, Governor Clinton doesn't
agree with that tenet. He is in fa-
vor of banning a certain class of
guns loosely termed "assault
weapons According to this clas-
sification, an "assault weapon" is
just about any weapon that doesn't
look like the shotgun your grand-
father used to go bird hunting
with, or just about any semi-auto-
matic rifle that holds more than
one bullet in the magazine at a
time. Ignorance and unreasonable
fear of firearms are the impetus
for this policy.
Remember Clinton's pledge
tocreate more jobs? President Bush
said Clinton would create jobs,
but that they would be mostly
makeshift work. Not so, said
Clinton. Yet one of the main items
on his legislative agenda is a $20-
billion-a-year spending plan for
highways and bridges to create
jobs ? ones that are just more
taxpayer sustained government
jobs. Read as "makeshift work"?
at our expense.
Clinton also favors a law
which would prohibit companies
from hiring permanent replace-
ments for striking workers. This
policy exposes the president-
elect's affinity for labor unions and
his disfavor of business (which,
by the way, creates real jobs, not
just taxpayer supported busy-
work). It's this kind of mindset
mat cost Clinton 60 percent of the
vote.
In a truly free democracy,
citizens should be free to decide
whether or not to vote. Forcing a
person to voteisan ironic concept.
Similarly, if a person doesn't want
to regis ter to vote, he or she should
have mat right also. Those who
complain that they don't have the
time or the gumption to register
probably wouldn't vote anyway.
Clinton, however, is in favor of
forcing people to register to vote.
He proposes a system in which
states would automatically regis-
ter people to vote when they ap-
ply for adrivers' license. Of course,
aside from the erroneous govern-
mental implications of this plan,
another big, federal government
bureaucracy would be created (a
completely needless one), and
guess who'd foot the bill for it?
You got it. You would.
President-elect Clinton also
has grand (and expensive)
schemes for stopping crime in our
country. He wants to hire and de-
ploy 100,000 new police officers
through what he terms a national
police corps. A national police
corps. Scary, isn't it?
So far J haven't mentioned
one Clinton policy on the environ-
ment. Fear not, gentle readers, the
governor isn't wanting in that de-
partmenteither. He wishes to limit
carbon dioxide emissions to 1990
levels by the year 2000. (Clinton
and his vice president-elect Al
Gore, a.k.a. Ozone, have a theory
about there being global warm-
ing, but this theory hasn't gained
much acceptance among the sci-
entific community.) Manufactur-
ing industries produce carbon di-
oxide. Clinton vowed to increase
the industrial base in the U.S. and
step up manufacturing. Yet he
wants to strangle industry by lim-
iting carbon dioxide emissions.
Interesting concept, that.
Along these same lines,
while campaigning for president
up around Michigan, Clinton
pledged his support for the auto-
motive industry. Yet one of his
goals is to set a 40-mile-per-gallon
efficiency standard within the next
eight years. Do you know what
this would do to automobile mak-
ers like Ford, Chevrolet and
Chrysler? Cripple them, that's
what. (By the way, another blow
to industry by Clinton.) Fortu-
nately for Detroit, the governor
has remained true to form and has
waffled on whether he will ag-
gressively pursue this standard.
One of governor Clinton's
big selling points during the cam-
paign was his plan to set a two
year cap on welfare payments at
the end of which those who could
work would have to. What would
happen to those who sHll hadn't
found employment after the two
years expired was not answered.
But Clinton did say that he would
implementeducation training and
childcare programs (Federal
babysitting) for welfare recipients
during those years. In other words,
although Clinton says he'll cut
welfare expenditures, they will
probably increase disguised as
new "training" and "childcare"
programs.
And finally, our next presi-
dent supports a policy of favoring
the welfare of animals above that
of displaced workers in determin-
ing whether animals should be
protected under the Endangered
Species Act. If there's a choice be-
tween whether a human and his
family survives and the preserva-
tion of a habitat for an owl ? the
owl wins, talons down. Another
blow to industry and private sec-
tor employment. Amazing.

(Editor's note: Because of
space constraints, this column will
be run in two parts.)
I vaguely remember, almost
a decade ago, when America's fa-
vorite bimboappeared on the tele-
vision screen and pouted, "Don't
do drugs Six months later, the
country was a cleaner place. But
there was one at the time, a laugh-
ing cynic, who was dismayed.
What she had done was a good
thing, he conceded, but the power
she had distressed him. "I'm
afraid he said. "If that bimbo got
on the screen and said, 'Eat crap
daily America's breath would
reek for years
And now, years later, that
same bimbo popped up again,
wrapping herself up in a flag and
pouting, "Rock the vote and
many people did. This was, all in
all, a good thing. But at the same
time, she sold this country poison,
using all her smarm and sleaze to
disguise a cancer seed as a vitamin
pill ? and America ate it.
As a result, our breath will
remain clean, but for years ? for
the next four years, at least ? we
will be dying a slow, agonizing
death from a political cancer called
socialism.
On the surface, socialism
looks healthy enough ? it prom-
ises free food, free money, free
everything. The government, like
Santa Claus, gives presents to ev-
eryone ? pretty little packages of
health care services, economic
improvement and technological
progress.
People, by and large, are so
distracted by the gifts laid out be-
rove bane of mankind's existence
fore them that they don't realize
what's going on behind them:
Uncle Sam, with a gun in his
pocket, is takingmoney from their
wallets, money to pay for all the
presents,even those that they don't
want, and money to waste, and
money for himself ? for the fat
paychecks of congressmen, for
their disproportionate retirement
funds and expensive "business"
vacations and jets and limousines
and and so many things we, as
citizens, can't afford because our
money, money we earned, some-
how disappeared from our wal-
lets.
With the fall of Soviet Rus-
sia, the world should have learned
its lesson. In the early 1900s, the
Bolsheviks were mak'ng the same
promises our leaders are making
today ? everything the people
always wanted, at no charge. It
was supposed,to be free, but gen-
erations of Soviets have paid the
price. There are some who would
argue that the fall of Russia is be-
cause they took socialism too far,
to too extreme a degree ? but the
nature of socialism is like that of a
disease. It starts small and grows
as the politicians see how easy it is
to milk a socialist system. They
bring it in, little by little, until it
infects the entire system.
Still, people think a little so-
cialism couldn'thurt?they think
a small dose of it would actually
help. Even if this were true, how
would one define an acceptable
amount? What is an acceptable
amount of cancer in one's body
tissues? What is an acceptable
amount of HIV in one's blood-
stream? What is an acceptable
amount of socialism in one's po-
litical system? The answer to all
three is "None
The politicians present an
idyllic vision of what could hap-
pen if we used socialism in small
doses ? to improve our economy,
our healthcare system, our
country's industry. Rather than
listening to what they hope will
happen, we need to consider what
has happened. Look at history,
look at the citizens of countries
that adopted socialistic policies,
and ask questions:
? Ask any Soviet artist, who
spent half his life in a prison cell
because he dared glorify man
rather than the state, what his so-
cialist regime has done for the arts.
? Ask any Englishman, who
watched the best minds flee his
country during the "brain drain"
of the 1960s, what his socialist re-
gime has done for technology.
? Ask any Canadian, who
lies dying while his name is on a
two-year waiting list for a coro-
nary bypass operation, what his
socialist regime has done for health
care.
? Ask any Ethiopian, starv-
ing in the filthy ghettoes that once
were great cities, what his social-
ist regime has done for his stan-
dard of living.
History provides the an-
swers to these questions, and none
of them are as pretty as the politi-
cians paint them to be?but there
is still another question that Ameri-
cans must ask themselves: "Is this
what you want to happen in your
country?"

News has it we are building a
new cafeteria and eating estab-

would like to see bonds sold for a

With regard to the need for
more study areas, students on the

Dispute over condoms and AIDS rages on
To the Editor:
In recentissuesof your news-
paper, there has been a dispute
over the effectiveness of condoms
in deterring the risk of AIDS and
the credentials of John Harris.
First, published in AIDS Re-
search and Hutnan Retrovintses, the
Surgeon General of the United
States, Antonio C. Novello, ad-
dressed the annual meeting spon-
sored by the Laboratory of Tumor
Cell Biology and National Cancer
Institute. Novello states that a
study "concluded using scanning
electron microscopy on 50 samples
of stretched and unstretched latex
condoms; no pores were found in
any condoms even when viewed
at a magnification of 2000x With
even more supporting evidence,
she concluded that "these data
indicate latex condoms can serve
as an effective mechanical barrier
to HIV transmission
Now, in all my searching for
Harris' credentials, not one direc-
tory in the Health Science Library,
nor Joyner Library, had any men-
tion of him. Furthermore, it must
be acknowledged that Harris' ap-
pearance on this campus is be-
cause of a campus Christian orga-
nization. Harris'intentions in edu-
catingyoungpeopleareobviously
tainted by religious virtue.
It is a severe insult accusing
(L. Paige) Rider of consulting MTV
for her knowledge; she is a pre-
med student and has most cer-
tainly done her research. (Shane)
Deike's interest in Harris seems
capricious.

Fiddle Puppets clog happiness into kids
By Marjorie McKinstry
Staff Writer
Most other groups would have
run?theiraudiencewasamassof
giggling, bubbling and spastic chil-
dren, and a few tormented adultsas
well.
Saturday these children were
to witness a small group of people
with more contained (and some-
times uncontained) energy than a
classroom of kindergarteners on
Hershey bars and Jolt soda.
The Fiddle Puppet Dancers,
clothed in brightly colored Appala-
chian style d ress and wearing large,
clod hopper shoes, smiled energeti-
cally from the stage toward the au-
dience.
The dancers started off with a
thundering rendition of Appala-
chian clogging, and the purpose for
the ungainly shoes was soon ap-
parent. As each foot and heal
slammed against the wooden floor,
it was possible to see how this rhy th-
micdancing eventually evolved into
a.more polished and less heartfelt
style of dance called tap.
The Fiddle Puppets also dem-
onstrated forms of perc ussive danc-
ing from Ireland, Canada and Af-
rica. The group explained to the
audiencehow working-class people
on different continents developed
similar styles of dance. They told
the children how the protective
shoes from coal mining in England
and diamond mining in Africa in-
spired the miners to produce music
with their feet.
More than simple entertainers,
the Fiddle Puppets requested the
lights be raised so the children and
adults in the peanut gallery could

their feet in a country style of

were taught various forms of body

riffs from the chest and a mouth

The Fiddle Puppets continued
theaudience's ed ucation by request-

completed, the lesson became more
advanced and many people ran to
the aisles for foot-stomping room.

this step to a more difficult cross-
over step that baffled some of the
adults. Hands tucked into armpits
as the Fiddle Puppets encouraged
the new dancers to emanate chick-
ens ? the barnyard expanded as
roosters and bulls emerged from
the various dances.
But sadly, the afternoon had to
end; seated once more, moms, dads
and munchkins, cheeks flushed
from dancing, watched the Fiddle
Puppets conclude their perfor-
mance. As the fiddle twanged, the
dancers stomped, clogged and even
did a little tap in synchronicity, but
they also jumped into spontaneous
solos expressive of their individual
talents and personalities. For the
first time, thedancers cavorted with
spins and leaps as weli as the tradi-
tional dancing.
This final dance was actually
more indicative of the art of Ameri-
can clogging because it showcased
the joy and spontaneity of barn-

Musiclistenerswhoweren'tsit-

night missed a Broadway musical
that was nothing short of spectacu-

"The Buddy Holly Story"
chronicled toe short career of rock
'n' roll's legendary singer and
songwriter of the '50s.
The plot was easygoing, never
complicated and, unlike other mu-
sicals, it was never disjointed by the
high-energy musical numbers that
continuously popped up.
The play began by showing
Holly trying to reject his country
music background that he and a
friend had established for them-
selves.
A bass player joined toe duo in
1953, ultimately changing toe name
from "Buddy and Bob" to "Buddy
Holly and The Crickets" and bring-
ing Holly to change the sound of the
group to Rhythm and Blues.
However, R & B was seen by
'50s America as being "black mu-
sic'Themusicindustry'sreluctance
to accept an all-white R & B group
was a major obstacle to overcome.
The group performed on radio
stationK-DAV.Theysoonrecorded
somedemo albums, became a sup-
port band for Bill Haley and His
Comets, opened a show for Elvis
Presley and finally went on tour.
Fame swept through the lives
of toe band players as their tunes
climbed record charts in the United
States and United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, rising conflicts be-
tween himand The Crickets,as well
as his manager,caused himtobreak

The group traveled by bus but

everyone aboard.
Doing a play in which the au-

inevitable tragic ending had to be
noeasy task. Morbidity and a sense
of impending doom would have
seemed to dominate the entire pro-

'Terminal Power"

Abraham Lincoln once wrote in

The same idea applies to Termi-

The songs are dark, with pain-

At other times, the lyrics fail
to achieve any substantiality:
"Caughtina trapNo wayback
The fire and the gateMy altered

Songs like "Burning

these depressing images of a

Despite the small crowd, the Style Monkeez, led by singer Greg
Spearick, gave an enthusiastic performance Friday night
By Bobbi Perfetti .
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Greenville, mislabeled "popu-
lar" for its party atmosphere this
weekend, hosted a disappointed
.band Friday night at the Attic. The
Style Monkeez played for a handful
of people, most of whom had left by
the end of the show.
The whole town missed out by
not attending the concert. The
Monkeez played light thrash and
their songs were hill of spastic en-
ergy. Their concerts are definitely
not something you could sleep
through.
From their opening song to the
last set, the band rocked hard, un-
fortunately only to a barely existent
audience. Their remake of
Madonna's "Justify My Love"
brought down what house there
was. Vocalist Greg Spearick had a
hard time singing over the excel-
lent, hard-hitting drum talent of
Shawn Walker. Bassist Brent Alwin
and guitaristTroy Sennettkepttime
with cool riffs and strange bass
sounds.
The Style Monkeez is a unique
group of guys. Not only is their
music style off-beat, so is their style
of dress?the lead singer wore sweat
shorts covering sweat pants with a
tee shirt and ragged suit coat. Sitting
by the drummer was a lighted plas-
tic Joseph from a nativity set. This
Joseph wore a dredlock wig and a
cowboy hat.
The Style Monkeez played all of
the songs on their only album en-
titled Schmelt Fry in Antigo. The al-
bum contains 13 tracks which will
keep you on your toes, even the
narcoleptic. Though the words are
unintelligible at times, the lyrics have
meaning.
"Style Lord" complains of the
trendy fashion-conscious people
who only wear designer clothing.
The Style Monkeez relived the
70s nightlife in "Disco Man "I've
got a satin shirt leisure suit and plat-
formshoes And with my gold chains
you know I can't loseAnd cause of

Hats off to the guys who drove
from Minnesota to Greenville and
gave the tiny audience their best If

Assistant Sports Editor
The East Carolina football
team, plagued by turnovers and
missed opportunities, lost a piv-
otal game Saturday against West
Virginia. They also severely jeop-
ardized their chance at a winning
season. Despite hard-nosed play
by the Pirate defense, the team
could not overcome turnovers at
key times in the contest with quar-
terbacks McConnell and Ander-
son throwing three interceptions,
combined.
The Pirates, unable to contain
the Mountaineers' high powered
rushing game, fell 41-28 in a loss
that was much closer than the ac-
tual score.
The ECU defensive unit
started the game playing exces-
sively stingy, blocking a W.Va.
field goal attempt and shutting
out the Mountaineer offense in
the first quarter. A 97 yard punt
return by freshman Derek Batson
put the Pirates ahead by a touch-
down mid-way through the first
quarter, and the Pirates ended the
first period
in the lead.
According
to Head
Coach
Steve
Logan, the
trick play
run by
Batson and
Morris
Letcher
had becomeajokeamongtheplay-
ers, as they felt it would never be
called during a game.
Logan said he was extremely
pleased with the execution of the
play.
"It really felt good to see the
team set up that wall for Derek
he said. "It just proves the coach-
ing success we have had this sea-
son
However, the Mountaineers
soon exploded into a rushing
frenzy that never stopped.
Led by running backs Rodney
Morris Letcher
Woodard and Adrian Murrell,
W.Va. gained 389 yards on the
ground, mostly in the last three
quarters of play. Mountaineer
quarterback Darren Studstill
helped keep the Pirate defense
honest, connecting with Moun-
taineer receivers for 142yardsand
one touchdown. The Mountain-
eers led 17-7 at halftime, after the
Pirate offense stalled late in the
second quarter.
The Pirate offense, feeling
pressure to score quickly in the
third quarter, went "three downs
and out" with quarterback
Michael Anderson's passes fall-
ing incomplete. The Pirate defense
failed to stop Woodard and
Murrell as they marched deep into
Pirate territory. Darren Studstill's
6-yard scramble into the endzone
and the resulting extra point by
Mountaineer kicker Mike
Vanderjagt set the deficit at 24-7.
The Pi rate offense rebounded
with a much-needed drive and
resulting score by Charles Miles
for a touchdown. Miles put the
Pirates back into the game.
However, the Pirate defense
was once again unable to stop the
Mountaineers, with a 31-yard
touchdown run by Woodard, late
in the quarter.
The fourth quarter brought
back memories of last year's car-
diac comeback tradition, with
Ernie Lewis recovering a Moun-
taineer fumble at the Pirate goal
line, and returning the ball 99
yards for a touchdown.
The fired-up Pirate defense
held the Mountaineers to a field
goal, but Anderson wasonceagain
picked off by the W.Va. second-
ary.
The Pirates regained posses-
sion and drove 80 yards for a score,
putting a win in reach, but Deke
Owen's botched onside kick drove
the final nail in the Pirate coffin,
as the Mountaineers' resulting
score put their hopes of a win to
rest.
The Pirates must win their two
remaining games to achieve a win-
ning season.
Biomechanics a new realm in athletics
By Jason Tremblay
Staff Writer
Biomechanics. Uh, yeah. If you,
gentle reader, are like me ? one of the
uneducated masses?you likely have no
idea what the word biomechmics means.
For some (myself included), the mention
of the word conjures up the image of Lee
Majors portraying the Six Million Dollar
Man, running in slow motion that was
somehowsupposed to convey incredible
speed. Uh no.
Trescienceofbbrnedianicshasnoth-
ing to do with super strong, artificial
limbs or catching bad guys every week
within a half hour period (minus ten
minutes for commercials).
Dr. John Stevenson, head of East
Carolina's bionedhanics department, of-
fered this explanation of the science: "Basi-
cally, what biewnechanics is about, is the
application of physics and engineering to
biological systems. What we do is take a
k?kathuniannx)tionconcernsandwedo
workacross three areas: (athletics),medi-
cine and ergonomics. In medicine we've
done some work with . . . the effects of
walker design on children with (cerebral
palsy)
Though the lab does some indus-
trial work, the main focus is on athletic
application.
"We do stuff with US. track and
field throwers and I went to theOlympic
games this summer on a project to inves-
tigate (the) shot putting technique of
Olympic throwers He said.
ECU's biomechanics staff will sort
out the information, then merge their
data with information collected by a
biomechanist from William & Mary
University, who has been concurrently
analyzing the men's throwers. The final
information package will then be pre-
sented to the Olympic Games Commit-
tee for further study.
Karen Mustian, a master's student,
as well as the only graduate assistant in
the lab, was also helpful in filling in the
enormous information gaps about bio-
mechanics.
Mustian does nearly all of the digi-
tizing work in the lab, a process that
boilsdowntoconvertingvideotaped
footage intocomputerdata.Through
the use of high grade video equip-
ment, plus an arsenal of expensive
twoand threedimensional software,
practically any physical action may
fall prey to analysis in the East Caro-
lina biomech lab.
The process by which Mustian
converts the action from real life
footage to usable computer data is
very time consuming and tedious.
The video image is transferred to a
powerful computer ? two frames
ata time?wherea "frame grabber
board" holds these images until she
plots specific points on the image of
the body using a mouse.
The computer pictu res are then
encoded with a sequential number,
and played back in sequence, pro-
ducing the effect of a stick figure
animation, performing the action
that is being studied. Once the stick
figure image has been stored in the
computer, it can be studied from
virtually any angle, which opens
new realms of analysis.
"I designed the program (so)
that my calf and my shin is red and
my upper leg is purple, my feet are
yellow, some of the trunk segments
on the body are green and blue, and
the head is red?That way, I can tell
where everything is at Mustian
said. "It's just like looking at a stick
figure that you would draw your-
self on a piece of paper. It's pretty
easy to tell that you've drawn a
person
However, it is not quite as easy
to prepare the data that leads to the
animated image. Mustian has logged
in countless hours at the keyboard
just preparing the data so that it
could be studied.
E.en more frightening is the
prospect of digitizing film shotat 200
frames per second, such as the foot-
age taken in Ba rcelona. Higher speeds
are neasary for actions that take
place rapidly, which is why high
speed recordingis used frequently in
sporting events. Fast images recorded
at sixty frames per second often appear
choppy and may "warp" from one
point to the next when viewed in the
slow motion necessary for analysis.
Mustian also explained that the
simple collection of data is not always
simple. Problems with accuracy dur-
ing collection can be a problem, butthe
biomech crew has tools tohelpcombat
erroneous data.
"We havea force plate that's been
embedded over in the fkxir in Minges
that measures the anterior and
posterior motion and forces in walking
or ninning or anything that you could
do Mustian said. "I mean, you could
stand still and hita golf ball off that and
it would measure the torquing force
that occurs in your knee
The plate iscapableof interacting
with other systems, allowing an enor-
mousamountof data tobecollected on
one action.
There are also several methods of
spatial measurement available to the
biomech staff to aid in the proper pro-
portioning of compu ter images in rela-
tion to the real world. A large calibra-
tion frame resembling an atomic dia-
gram, as well as simple survey poles,
act as a scaling factor when the com-
puter data is entered into the system,
much in the same way that a key on a
map helps travellers gauge the dis-
tance from one point to another.
While there is no biomechanics
degreeprogramavailableatEastCaro-
lina, Mustian says that it is possible
to tailor a physical education ma-
jor to focus on biomechanics, which
is the route she took.
So, to all you physical educa-
tion majors, forget becominga gym
teacher or a trainer ? biomechan-
ics is the wave of the future. Put on
your Computer Whiz hat, and join
a fast growing field that has limit-
less expansion potential. At any
rate, you'll be able to understand
the physics behind that parental
kick in the ass you'll likely receive
when report cards are mailed
home.
Driver
on cruise
control
By Jason Tremblay
Staff Writer
Clayton Driver, East Ca rolina's
premier wide receiver, has been the
recipientofa slew of well-deserved
media attention during the 1992
Pirateseason. Ina somewhat disap-
pointing football year, Driver has
left more than a mark in collegiate
football, he's left a dent.
The recipient of numerous ath-
letic awards, Driver has attracted
the attention of more than just le-
gions of loyal Pirate fans. Driver has
already been contacted by several
agents representing the National
Football League and has high aspi-
rations of someday playing profes-
sional football.
"I'm definitely going to make a
serious effort (to go pro) Driver
said. "1 mean, the game films will
speak for themselves, and what
they're tellingme rightnow isgame
wise, you're great. Good hands,
good game speed, make plays, but
rightnow, you 're a total reject in the
40 (yard dash). The way I think
about it, that if I run a four point
five I could go in the first three
rounds. That's the way I'm looking
at it
With Driver's statistics, his vi-
sion of the future doesn't seem too
unlikely. In fact, Driver has already
made up his mind what he will do
with his money if he gets drafted.
"When I get drafted, my first
acquisition will be a black Saab, trim
in gold, gold triangle rims and it'll
be a convertible said Driver ea-
gerly. "Hopefully, my insurance
won't be so high, because I have
been the victim of tickets. Three
While he is confident that he
will indeed be drafted, Driver is
unsure of where he will be playing
and does not seem to be very wor-
ried about it
"Itdoesn'tmatteraslongasthe
home stadium's not cold Driver
explained. "I don't like playing in
cold weather, and I don't like play-
ing on turf. But, most of the NFL is
turf now anyway, so maybe it
doesn't matter. I'll just put that out
of my mind. As long as it's not too
cold. I hate playing in cold weather,
because you don't want to hit no-
body and you don't want to be hit

Driver will be in attendance for his father's final home game.
When asked about his indi-
vidual performance in comparison
to thatof the team as a whole, Driver
is modest about his own success,
and optimistic about Pirate football
in'93.
All things go in cycles, and
right now, it's like the year 1990,
when we were so close, yet so far
said Driver. "A lot of games we did
some things thatwe really shotour-
selves in the foot, kept ourselves
from winning the games. I think
next year, they're going to be good.
1 really thought we were going to a
bowl in my heart. I really wanted to,
and I thought we had the ability to
as a team to go to a bow! this year,
but we shot ourselves in the foot
one too many times
Aside from the football ma-
chine that is Clayton Driver,healso
has many other interests. Driver
enjoys cooking, listening to almost
any type of music, with the em-
phatic exception of country music,
and surprisingly, cites basket-
ball as his favorite sport. When
asked why he was not playing
basketball for ECU instead of
football, Dri vergrinssheepishly
and explains it like this.
"Because I'm not a little bit
taller than I am. I tell the guys all
the ti me tha t if I was 6-foot4, I'd
probably be somewhere play-
ing basketball right now, but it
turned out to be I'm 6-feet-l-
inch
Perhaps the most impor-
tant thing to happen thus far in
Driver's young life was the birth
of his son, Vicentae Niquay
Driver, who will turn three in
December. Vicentae was born
to Driver's high school sweet-
heart, who is no longerromanti-
cally involved with Driver.
However, both Driver and
Vicentae's motherwork together

Atkinson gives ECU tennis team European flavor
By Brent St. Pierre
Staff Writer
It is approximately 4,000 miles
from his hometown of Sheffield En-
gland to the campus of East Caro-
lina; yet somehow, sophomore ten-
nis star Ben Atkinson found Green-
ville.
For years the United States has
robbed Europeofherfinestathlet.es,
offering them scholarships coach-
ing and a better climate. Thousands
of European athletes havedone this.
Now Atkinson is ECU's.
"When I was a senior I was ap-
proached by a coach who recruited
European athletes for schools in the
United States Atkinson said. "In
England most quality athletes go to
the States if they want to improve. 1
was one of those who was willing to
make that commitment. I had to
choose between 30differentschools.
In the end I chose ECU
Atkinson chose ECU over the
other schools, he said, because of the
quality of the coaches and the com-
petition.
"The coaches seemed very in-
terested in making me a better
player he said. "But, it's the play-
ers on the team that make the deci-
sion I made easier to accept. Every-
one i s so nice and hospitable, it was a
pleasant surprise
Talented is a word that fits
Atkinson to a "T How many people
do you know that have played at
Wimbledon? While in High School
his team in Yorkshire County was a
finalistintheEnglandJuniorNational
Championships. The finals were
played at the famed Lawn and Tennis
Cluboutsideof London. Even though
his team fell short in their quest for a
Junior National Championship,
"the experience of playing at
Wimbledon is something that I
will have for the rest of my life
Atkinson said.
A Hanson hopes to travel the
world when he gets out of school
and wants his tennis ability to pay
the air-fare. "1 would like to move
to Australia and try to play on the
Professional circuit Atkinson
said, "if that does not work out I
would like to at least coach young
tennis players.
But my im-
mediate goal is
to make it as a
Professional
tennis player
First things
first, though.
Atkinson is
only a sopho-
more and,
counting this
year, has three
yearsof eligibil-
ity left at ECU.
"I expect to
improvea great
deal before I graduate, the compe-
tition here is so much better than in
England, it seems that everyone in
the states that I have played is very
good
This is the rationale tha t Euro-
peans give to explain for the exo-
dusof Europe's bestathletes to the
universities of the United States.
As for life in eastern North
Carolina, in comparison to north-
ern England, Atkinson admits
he did not want to stereotype
North Carolina. But, he could
only picture tobacco and farm-
land before he cane.
"IloveGreenvilleand North
Carolina. Everyone in the South
is sonice. Nobody has any preju-
dices towards me being from
England. I had visited the New
England area and (found) that
the people here are much more
pleasant Atkinson said.
The ECU tennis season
starts in early spring and they
play between 27 to 30 matches a
year. They are also expected to
be very good this year, vying for
a conference crown. As for
Atkinson, his im-
mediate goals are
modest.
"I just want
to remain on the
traveling squad
(the top seven
, . - . i travel), continue
SOmethltlg that I myrehabilitation
and hopefully
"the experience
of playing at
Wimbledon is
will have for the
rest of my life
graduate with
honors
Atkinson
Ben Atkinson, gives ECU more
ECU tennis tenm than just an ath-
lete with a
golden forehand. He is a repre-
sentative and a spokesman for
ECU in Europe.
Like it or not, ECU is still
not well received by most of
the United States, even in North
Carolina. As trivial as it may
sound for a European athlete
like Atkinson, who chooses
ECU over another school, it im-
proves the university's reputa-
tion as much as any football
victory.
It is people like Atkinson
that make a university re-
nowned.

Driver
to take good care of their son.
"That's my heart Driver said of his
son. "He's the reason why I do a lot of the
stuff I do, and the reason why I don't do
a lot of the stuff that I have the opportu-
nity to do.
"He'll be here for our last game.
There are one or two things in life that are
really important, all the rest are just step-
ping stones.
"Myson being born was oneof those
twothingsthatareimportantHavingthe
responsibility of taking care of another
individual really makes you think and
really makes you put all the B.S. aside that
you do in college, you kind of say, 'well,
later on, is this going to help me put food
on the table?
Vicentae spent a month with Driver
during the last summer school session,
and Clayton found that it was a challeng-
ing situation to care for a child on a
"twenty-fbur-seven" basis.
"It rea lly gave me a better respect
for single mothers, because they do
this a whole lot of time when the
fathers aren't there working he said.
"I just have a tremendous respect for
his mother and for all single mothers
out there, because they really do have
to struggle
With his son is expected toattend
the final home game, Driver rums to
the subject of the Pirate fans, and their
recently shifting attitudes toward the
team.
"That's what (the fans) are sup-
posed to do. They're supposed to be
there to get on you when you upand
cheer you when you do well.
"We play hard for 60 minutes
and I just wish the fans would stick
around for 60 minutes instead of jettin'
on us When you're in the third quar-
ter and you 're down and you look up
and you see the fans leaving, you're
DISCOVER
like 'Damn, they just really don't
care
Drivermightloveforusallto
showVicentaewhatPurplePride
. is all about and stay to cheer our
fighting Pirates on up until the verv
last second at our final home game
They have given their all for us this
sedsorvind the least vvecan do as fans
is stick around until the very end.
