College Democrats chosen for local posts
By Jason Williams
Staff Writer
Several ECU College
Democrats recently won leader-
ship posts in the Democratic
Party's annual precinct meetings
held on March 4.
Local Democrats chose
ECU junior David Reid III to be-
come the next chairman of Green-
ville Precinct Seven. Reid will
replace outgoing chairman Pat
Dunn, who vacated her seat to
serve on the Pitt County Board
of Elections.
Although Precinct Seven
includes most of the ECU cam-
pus, Reid became the first stu-
dent to be elected to the chair
position.
In Greenville Precinct Five,
Democrats selected another ECU
student, Julie Robertson, to be-
come First Vice Chairman.
Robertson is the first student to
be elected to a vice chair position
in that precinct.
Both Reid and Robertson
will gain a vote on the Pitt County
Democratic Executive Commit-
tee, the ruling body of the local
party.
President of the ECU Col-
lege Democrats Thomas Blue
said that eight other students
were elected to positions within
the local Democratic Party. Blue
was elected Secretary in Green-
ville Precinct Seven.
"ECU students were elected
to leadership posts in over a third
of the precincts in Greenville
Blue said. "This is the most rep-
resentation our university has
ever had in local politics
A total of 17 students will
attend the county convention on
behalf of their local precincts on
April 17. ECU freshman Scarlette
Gardner will be a candidate for a
vice chair position in the county
party.
Bluesaid thatanotherseven
students were selected to repre-
sent Pitt County at the Third Dis-
trict Convention in May.
Mendenhall Student Center will
host the event, the first such con-
vention held on the ECU cam-
pus.
Also at the precinct meet-
ings, the College Democrats in-
troduced a resolution opposing
Senate Bill 394, the tuition in-
creasing bill currently being con-
sidered in the North Carolina
General Assembly. The resolu-
tion passed in four Greenville
precincts unanimously.
ECU students are now
represented more than
ever before in local politics
Julie Robertson (shown with Rep. Martin Lancaster) and David Reid were the first
students ever chosen to serve in the local positions they were recently elected to.
The resolution will now be
considered in the Pitt County
Convention by the entire county
party. If passed, it will then go
before the Third DistrictConven-
tion for a vote.Blue said that over
400 Democrats from eastern
North Carolina including many
state legislators will attend this
convention. "We hope this issue
does not come to a vote in the
General Assembly before we gain
the visible support of the higher
echelons of the Democratic
Party Blue said.
Steve Benzkofer, another
College Democrat elected to a lo-
cal post, and information coordi-
nator of the Committee On Stu-
dent Tuition (COST), spoke on
the meaning of the resolution. "It
will be a powerful tool if we can
get this resolution passed by the
District Convention before the

Career Day planned for hospitality students
By Sharon Anderson
Staff Writer
The hospitality department, along
with Career and Placement Services is hav-
ing a Career Day at the Human Resources
Building on March 23 from 10 a.m. to 12
p.m.
The event is open to students inter-
ested in hotel management, restaurant man-
agement, corpora teoffice management and
marketing are invited to attend.
Twelve representatives will have
booths to answer any questions students
mightfor futureemployment. Lisa Pittman,
an assistant manager at career services, said
that these representatives will give students
initial contact with corporations all over the
country.
These representatives will be mostly
from North Carolina, but there will also be
some from as far away as Florida or Kansas.
The hospitality career day gives stu-
dents opportunity to pick up information
on the companies and to give possible em-
ployers a chance to talk one-on-one with
students that are interested in management
careers.
Students, other than those majoring
in hotel, restaurant or corpora teoffice man-

Assistant News Editor
This summer an ocean study off the
coast of New Jersey, called Leg 150, will
attempt to discover how the sea level has
changed over the past 37 million years.
An ECU scientist, Dr. Scott W.
Snyder, has been invited to take part in a
study that is to depart from Lisbon, Por-
tugal, on May 30 and return to port in St.
John's, Newfoundland, on July 25.
"There is great interest now in this
subject said Snyder.
Leg 150, a scientific project for the
Ocean Drilling Program, is sponsored by
the National Science Foundation.
"What we are going to try to do on
this leg is carefully select the sites to get
the most detailed picture of global sea
level change during this critical interval
when modern glaciation is believed to
have begun said Snyder.
Snyder is an expert on marine ani-
mal fossils. He will spend two months
aboard a research vessel working in the
New Jersey Margin. The Margin lies along
the Continental Slope where the rela-
tively shallow bottom of the shelf begins
its descent into the deep reaches of the
ocean.
"We know sea level has risen and
fallen repeatedly he said. "We know it
is related to glacial changes-the melting
and freezing of polar ice. But we don't
know precisely when the whole cycle of
glacial activity started or the exact causes
of it
Snyder was invited to work on Leg
150 by Dr. Jack G. Baldauf, manager of
Science Operations for the program based
at Texas A&M University.
Dr. Kenneth Miller of Rutgers Uni-
versity in New Brunswick, N.J. and Dr.
Gregory Mountain of Lamont-Doherty
Geological Observatory in Palisades, N .Y.
will direct the project.
The JOIDES Resolution, one of the
world's best designed and equipped sci-
entific drilling vessels, will be used for
the stud y. The vessel and i ts d ril I ing tower
will allow the scientists to penetrate deep
into the sea floor to collect samples of
fossil-rich sediment.
The 470-foot research vessel uses a
computer-controlled positioning system,
featuring 12 powerful thrusters, to hold
the ship over a specific location. It can
suspend a drilling pipe in water 5 miles
deep and can drill into the sea floor an-
other 3,000 feet.
The vessel's drill rig will recover
long tubes of sediment from the sea bed
to serve as "yardsticks" on which tojudge
ocean changes over millions of years,
Snyder said. Analysis of the sediment
layers will focus on the time span from
the beginning of the Oligocene Epoch 37
million years ago through the more re-
cent Miocene Epoch ending about five
and a half million years ago. The Miocene
Epoch may include the start of the most
recent period of glacial activity when the
world was considered an "icehouse
"There is a lot of discussion now
over when glaciation began Snyder said.
"Some peop le don't believe it goes back a
far as the Oligocene Epoch
Snyder will comb through the sedi-
ment to find the fossil remains of micro-
scopic single-celled animalscalled "Fora-
minifera He said he will examine the
skeletons of the tiny fossils to interpret
the age of the different sediment layers.
The Leg 150 project is unusual be-
cause drill sites are in relatively shallow
water. The depth at some proposed sites
is only several hundred feet. Drilling in
shallow water is more risky for the ship
and its equipment, according to Snyder,
because the pipe that extends from the
ship to the ocean bottom is too short to
provide much flexibility at shallow
depths.
The overall planning for the pro-
gram is managed by The Joint Oceano-
graphic Institutions for Deep Earth Sam-
pling (JOIDES), an international group of
scientists.
The scientists represent research
institutions in the U.S Canada, Austra-
lia, England, France, Germany, Russia,
Japan and 12 other countries.
"Top scientists around the world
are invited to participate, so Scott's invi-
tation placeshimamonga select group of
world-class researchers he said.
Scientific offshore drilling began as
the Deep Sea Drilling Project in 1968. In
1983, the project was restructured as the
Ocean Drilling Project. Earlier studies
documented major geological events in-
cluding the evolution of the Atlantic and
other ocean basins.

Admitted murderer set for release from prison
HILLSBOROUGH, N.C.
(AP)�After more than six years
of facing first-degree murder
charges, admitted killer Robert
Lewis Gravette will go free.
Superior Court Judge
Knox Jenkins decided Tuesday
to dismiss two 1987 charges be-
cause of doctors' reports that
Gravette would never be fit to
stand trial because of irrevers-
ible brain damage, according to
The Herald-Sun of Durham.
The families of the victims
were stunned.
"I can't believe there's just
nothing we can do Dot Whicker,
mother of victim Curtis Ray
Whicker Jr 22, as she wiped tears
from her eyes after the short court
hearing.
Beverly Burch has traveled
to the Orange County Courthouse
almost every third month since
her son, William Melton, 23, was
killed. Gravette, Burch's ex-hus-
band, has had many competency
and custody hearings.
"They've got to make people
pay for what they've done Mrs.
Burch told the Raleigh News &
Observer.
Gravette was not in court
Tuesday. His attorney, Kirk
Osborn, said he had been unable
to contact him by phone Tuesday
afternoon.
Osborn said he was sure
Gravette would be relieved.
Over the years, judges have
placed Gravette under the super-
vision of relatives or Durham pro-
bation officers.
Osborn said he did not
know where Gravette would live
now.
Gravette was charged Feb.
1,1987, with the shooting deaths
ofhis stepson, Melton, and Curtis
Ray Whicker, a family friend.
He told authorities then
that the men had come to his
home to talk and drink liquor.
But Melton and Gravette began
arguing about a divorce settle-
ment between Mrs. Burch and
Gravette.
Both men were shot sev-
eral times and died instantly, au-
thorities have said.

Cost of cardiac revival up, patient survival down
The East Carolinian 3
ANAHEIM,CaIif.(AP)�The
routine hospital practice of reviving
patients whose hearts stop beating
costs more than $150,000 per survi-
vor, because most victims never re-
cover enough to go home, a study
found.
In fact, the research found that
most of those gi ven CPR in hospital
wards never regain the ability to
breathe on their own. Instead, they
spend their final days on respirators
in intensive care units, often running
up astronomical bills.
Doctors from Duke Univer-
sity watched what happened to 146
patients who were given CPR �
cardiopulmonary resuscitation �
after they suffered cardiac arrest in
the general medical and surgical
wards between 1988 and 1991.
Doctors and nurses were able
to revive 58 percent of the patients.
But only seven patients, or five per-
cent, got well enough to leave the
hospital.
The researchers added up the
costsof taking careof all these people
when they were pulled back from
deathandfoundittotaledabout$l.l
million, or more than $150,000 per
discharged patient.
Nationally, CPR is attempted
on about one-third of all patients
who die in hospitals. Many are eld-
erly and in the final stages of heart
failure, cancer and other diseases.
When they are revived, how-
ever, their medical bills shoot up
drama ticaIly,becausemostare trans-
ferred to intensive care and put on
highly expensive life-support sys-
tems.
"It'sa medical avalanche. You
trigger everything said Dr. Chris-
topher CConnor, one of the Duke
resarchers.
O'Connor and Dr. Mark Thel
presented the findings Tuesday at a
meeting of the American College of
Cardiology.
O'Connor said that CPR first
gained routine use during opera-
tions, when itciften worked well.But
it has since spread to all parts of the
hospital with little thought given to
the cost of interrupting death.
"We're not saying, Don't do
something. Juststandtherehe said.
Instead,OConnorurged doc-
tors to ask their patients how they
would like to be treated if theirhearts
stop beating. While hospitals are re-
quired to ask such questions, it is
usually done by clerks rather than
doctors. And when doctors bring up
the subject, he said, they shou Id keep
the price in mind.
"We feel that the cost of CPR
should be considered .vhen the doc-
tor counsels patients about whether
they should get it he said.
The researchers said doctors
should be reluctant to recommend
CPR to people who are gravely ill,
such as elderly patients suffering
from multiple diseases.
Typically, hospitals by to re-
vive all patients after cardiac arrest
unlessa sped fic"donot resuscitate"
�orDNR�order hasbeen posted.
The cost of caring for patients
in the last months of life has become
a matter of concern, especially as
health economists look for ways to
slow medical inflationWhen you
look at the way we treat patients at
the extremes of life, it's plain there is
no reason why we doctors can't al-

mented Dr. Adolph Hutter of Mas-

Wiretap tapes used in Sudafed trial
SEATTLE (AP) � Federal
prosecutors contend that secretly
taped conversations show relatives
of Sudafed-tampering defendant
Joseph Meling entereda "familycon-
spiracy" toprotecthimfromthelaw.
But the defense dismisses much of
what is on the tapes as hearsay.
Prosecutors have boiled down
about 90 days worth of conversa-
tions recorded through hidden mi-
crophones and wiretaps into four
hours of tapes. Selected conversa-
tions were made into a composite
tape for Meling's trial in U.S. District
Court.
Judge Barbara Rothstein sent
jurors home early on Tuesday after
defense lawyer Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
saidplayingl5orl6segmentswould
violate hearsay or other rules on ad-
mission of evidence. Legal argu-
ments on the issue must be resolved
before the jury begins hearing the
tape, Rothstein said.
Meling31,aformerTumwater
insurance agent, is charged with six
counts of product tampering, twoof
perjury and three of insurancefraud.
Product tampering carries a maxi-
mum penalty of life in prison.
Meling is accused of giving his
wife a cyanide capsule to collect
$700,000 in life insurance benefits
and placing other capsules in
Sudafed packages on store shelves
around Tacoma and Olympia to
make the tamperingappear random.
Jennifer Meling, 30, survived
cyanide poisoning Feb. 2,1991. Two
others died later that month after
taking poisoned capsules from
Sudafed packages.
Two tampered Sudafed pack-
ages were found in private homes
and one was recovered from a store
during a $17 million nationwide re-
call by Burroughs Wellcome Co. of
Research Triangle Park, N.C.
Sudafed eventually was reintro-
duced as a coated tablet.
Most of the conversations on
the composite tape are between
Meling and members of his family,
but about half a dozen involve rela-
tives and others talkingamong them-
selves, lawyers said after the jury
was excused in US. District Court
Tuesday.
"We have a tightly knit family
conspiracy where peopleare actively
talking about it on a day-to-day ba-
sis assistant US. attorney Joanne
Y. Maida said.
Before the trial, U S. Attorney
Mike McKay said the recordings
were the most important part of the
government's case, which lacks fin-
gerprints, fiber samples, traces of
sodium cyanide, eyewitness reports
of tampering or other direct evidence
against Meling.
FBI agent Ronald T. Stankye,
who supervised the electronic sur-
veillance, told the jury the telephone
of Meling's parents, Gifford W.
"Sonny" and Velma Meling, was
tapped from April 11 to June 10,
1991, and their home was bugged
from May 22 to June 22 that year.
During those periods, Meling
was living at his parents' home in
Vancouver, Wash and was sepa-
rated from his wife, who had filed
for divorce.
They were reconciled that
summer, and she has voiced her
support of him since then.
Under court orders allowing
surveillance, monitors listened and

Investigators also learned
Sonny and Velma Meling wanted
"to see their son reconciled to Jenni-
fer, whom they intenselydisliked,as
a means of preventing his prosecu-
tion the affidavit said.
Vance said that in one conver-
sation hechallenged as inadmissible,
Joseph Meling's uncles Gordon Lee
Meling and Keith Jerome Meling
discussed comments by the
defendant s mother.

observed.
The judge said she also was
concerned about playing "one sen-
tence from a whole day's conversa-
tion" or "a sentence a day from a
whole string of days.
Taken on their face, some of
them don't make any sense at all
she said.

Convention center
will bring in funds
to better city
Benefits far outweigh the risks in
endeavor that will put Greenville
on statewide map
More money, more money, more money.
That's what the city of Greenville can expect if it
approves plans for the construction of a new conven-
tion center. Studies have shown that the convention
center would generate an average of $8.6 million annu-
ally for its first three years of operation.
Hotels and motels would experience the biggest
gains from this new building. Though the convention
center would promote an increase in the present occu-
pancy tax, managers around Greenville have voiced no
opposition to the increase. They have been quoted as
saying that if the new convention center goes through,
the added tax could be handled.
Along with motels and hotels, entertainment busi-
nesses such as restaurants or bars would also benefit
greatly from the center. Advertising, photography and
construction all rank up with these two leaders in the
potential revenues that would be accrued if the center
is opened. Benefits would be shown even as far down
as the common laborer, with the estimated 180 new
jobs that would be available � directly or indirectly �
from the center's operation.
Another benefit garnered from the convention
center would be the increase of trade shows and con-
ventions that would frequent the Greenville area. Ac-
cording to a study conducted by the Greenville-Pitt
County Con-
vention and
Visitors Bureau,
32 conventions
and trade
shows ex-
pressed an in-
terest in coming
to Greenville.
Lack of available space and accommodations deterred
these conventions from using Greenville as their base,
though.
The city of Greenville should make this conven-
tion center their top priority, if it is not already. Oppo-
nents who quibble about the high cost of land purchase
or development would do well to look at the benefits
that would come about. When you have more pros
than cons in a situation, go with the pros.
This convention center would put Greenville as
one of the top contenders in the North Carolina race for
tourism. Currently, only Charlotte has the top five-star
rating for a convention center, with Raliegh, Winston-
Salem and Greensboro running a close second. Green-
ville is now rated with two stars, and the new center
would boost the rating to four, putting the city in
viable contention with the rest of the state.
Arguments about the cost of land purchasing are
invalid, also. Currently, the city is looking at purchas-
ing the site of the abandoned Nichols discount store to
use for this center. This site would put the center in an
advantageous geographical position, virtually centered
between Carolina East Mall and The Plaza Mall on
Greenville Boulevard. All of the businesses on Green-
ville Boulevard � which houses the majority of busi-
nesses in Greenville � would benefit from this con-
struction and placement.
Twenty years have gone by, with hot air being
blown around enough to heat the center itself if it could
be harnessed. The time for action is now. More time
discussing possible concerns or benefits would only be
redundant � start building as soon as possible.

Freedom's Call
By Jim Shamlin
Majority of voters considered sleepwalkers
If government has become
oppressive, it is the people who
have made it that way, whether
through conscious or unconscious
support, sanction or tolerance. No
one can claim innocence.
In order to redeem ourselves
and to cease this oppression, we
must effect a revolution. It is not
yet time to resort to violent action
� history has proven violence to
be a radical cure, but it is only a
temporary solution. Since gov-
ernment derives its power from
the people and enforces the citi-
zens' demands, replacing one
body of rulers with another
changes nothing but the rulers'
names.
In other words: if the de-
mands of the people remain the
same, the "new" government will
enforce the same demands and
follow the same course as the pre-
vious one. In order for a revolu-
tion to hold, it is the people who
must change themselves � and
since government serves the
peoples' demands, government
will evolve in response to the de-
mands of its citizens. If govern-
ment fails to evolve with its
people, then it is time for vio-
lence, and only such violence as
is absolutely necessary to unseat
the public servants who, like ar-
rogant butlers, have forgotten
who signs their checks.
Effecting this change in the
citizenry is not as difficult as it
would seem. Oppression is by no
means a virtue in our society, and
few embrace it consciously �
many, however, embrace it un-
consciously. People wonderwhat
has happened to make the nation
run off-course when it is the
people, themselves, have fallen
asleep at the wheel. In order to
change the source of our nation,
to get it back on track, all we need
to do is sound an alarm to wake
the people. Once aware of what
they are doing, they will act to
correct their mistakes, to operate
the controls in such a way that
their actions will steer the nation
back on track.
The analogy fails, however,
by implying that it is within the
power of one person to take con-
trol. This country is not a bus in
which most of the people are pas-
sive riders � or it wouldn't be, if
the many "riders" would exer-
cise their right to vote � it is a
complex machine with a control
panel at each seat. It is not enough
to elect one man of vision and
expect him to do the job alone,
especially when that man is, at
best, half-blind; and the few of us
who are awake do not have the
combined strength needed to
steer the machine � but we do
have the power to wake the pas-
sengers and, at the same time,
remind them that they are the
crew, and that they are failing in
their duties.
This, however, is only half
the job�some of those who have
remained awake are frantically
pressing buttons and, more accu-
rately, pulling levers to steer this
country in the wrong direction.
Some of them have no idea what
they're doing � they will be the
easiest to recruit, because the des-
perately want to do something
effective. If given rational advice,
they will see the logic of it and act
accordingly.
Others, however, are far
more demented. They are half-
awake, like zombies, and al-
though they think they know how
to work the controls, they are
steering in the wrong direction,
toward the precipice that is rush-
ing toward us. These people think
they know the answers � they
act in accordance with false in-
structions such as Democratic or
Republican party propaganda,
the Communist Manifesto or,
worst of all, the Christian myth.
Each of these manuals is flawed
and inherently suicidal. All the
same, having a set of directives
that seems right at first glance
makes these people resolute in
steering the machine, and all of
us in it, toward certain death.
These citizens who are half-
awake are our greatest weakness.
They are casualties in the fight
for freedom, and not all of them
can be saved. Some of them are
firmly resolved to their perverse
and suicidal ideologies to con-
sider any alternative. We must
act to revive the ones we can and
accept our inability to affect the
ignorant and closed-minded.
Luckily, most of them are
salvageable. As for tne others,
the severely demented, there is
nothing we can do to stop them
from destroying themselves. Sui-
cide will always remain an in-
alienable right. However, we can,
and must, prevent them from
taking us along on their ride to
the slaughterhouse they call
"utopia to the butcher they call
"God
We, who know that free-
dom is the most important pos-
session; we, who are labeled
"revolutionaries" and "anar-
chists" in a country that has for-
saken its values; we, who remain
awake, have a duty to perform
for ourselves and for this fallen
nation. We must wake the sleep-
ing and bury the dead � our
only alternative is death.

Explore new diet in Great American Meat-Out
To the Editor:
Saturday, March 20, is
the eighth annual Great
American Meat-Out. On this
day, people are asked to " kick
the meat habit for a day and
to explore a less violent, more
wholesome diet The event
is coordinated nationally by
the Farm Animal Reform
Movement (FARM) with co-
chairs Doris Day, Casey
Kasem, Kevin Nealon and
River Phoenix.
ECU Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals
(SETA) will havean informa-
tion table in front of the Stu-
dent Stores on Thurs Mar.
18, and Fri Mar. 19, (from 9
until 3) to provide informa-
tion on the en vi ronmenta 1 de-
struction that animal agricul-
ture causes, the health haz-
ards of meat consumption
and the animal suffering in-
herent in meat production.
Here is a small sam-
pling:
� One acre of trees is
spared each year by each in-
dividual who switches to a
pure vegetarian diet.
� Up to 16 pounds of
grain must be fed to a cow to
make on pound of beef.
� 260 million acres of
forest have been cleared to
create cropland to produce
our meat-centered diet.
� 200 million pounds of
meat are imported annually
by the United States, from
Central America. Profits from
this are the primary incentive
for rainforest destruction.
� 55 percent of pesti-
cide residues in the U.S. diet
is supplied by meat.
� The risk of death from
heart attack for the average
American man is 50 percent,
while for the average Ameri-
can pure vegetarian man it is
four percent.
� Vegetarian diets eas-
ily provide all the nutrient s
necessary for optimum hu-
man health.
� After converting, most
vegetarians report having
more energy and greater re-
sistance to colds.
� Over five billion
warm-blooded animals are
killed annually in America
for meat.
� Today's "factory
farms" treat animals as meat-
producing machines rather
than sentient beings. Conse-
quently, the animals are
densely crowded and kept
under unnatural conditions
which frustrate many of their
instinctual drives.

Scrap NASA to
pave way for new
space agency
If we want to cut the budget, we must
think big. Eliminate NASA and put our ener-
gies into an international scientific agency.
It's a step that, while bandied about, has
never been taken seriously by the majority.
Doing so will save the United States trillions of
dollars,orreduceour financial "sacrificeThe
only proposal onCapitol Hill concerning NASA
concerns downsizing the space station Free-
dom which has been in development since
1984. I'm not suggesting eliminating just the
station that will cost $101 billion over the next
30 years, but all of NASA.
Since 1986, with the Challenger explo-
sion, our space agency has been scrutinized as
being the largest money pit this side of the
Pentagon. Repeated reports of workers under
the influence of drugs while at work, the em-
barrassmentof unsuccessful rocket experiments
along with the Hubble Telescope snafu have
led to incremental restructuring.
We as a nation have lost our vigor about
space exploration. When Kennedy proposed
putting a man on the moon by the end of the
'60s, the United States went ballistic for the
idea of beating the Russians to our natural
satellite. Especiallyafter the Soviets had beaten
us with Sputnik. The Cold War was given a
new battleground that was politically popular,
considered valid by the military withoutbeing
inherently violent and socially popular from
sci-fi enthusiasts to the scientific community.
However, shuttle flights now seem to be
mundane and of concern only to communica-
tions companies. The information NASA seeks
can easily and less-expensively be gathered by
probes such as Voyager and Galileo without
risking human life. This modem manifest des-
tiny can be set aside by practical and ever-
increasing technology.
Such a move can fit the criteria Congress
uses to refine the budget.
Streamlining NASA will shaveoff money
that can be used to bail out an Savings and
Loan; whoever backs the move will be seen as
frugal and decisive. Intergrating existing tech-
nologies into a global effort that may incorpo-
rate environmental and agricultural interests
will no doubt be supported by the increas-
ingly-aware populace.
The military can adapt its efforts from
defense and utilize them in research programs.
The major contractors that have been sweating
about layoffs can save jobs without changing
their output; more-efficient engines, better fu-
els and stronger construction materials will be
the crux of further space research if we are to
keep putting humans outside our atmosphere.
An international agency would prevent
redundancies. In our efforts to have a grand
space station to represent America, we seem to
be unaware of the Soviet space station in use for
about a decade. If we were to work with the
developed nations that can adapt their defense
technologies as well, we may have the poten-
tial for a powerful scientific effort.
Far-fetched? I prefer far-reaching. Might
as well shoot for the moon.

'Falling Down' reveals explosive city frustrations
By Gresory Dickens
Staff Writer
There comesadayin each of our
lives when we just can't take any-
more. Daily stress mingles with re-
curring frustrations in a way that
cripples the psyche and impairs
tamp le logic. Entropy and impotence
prevents any progress. In such situa-
tions, you just want to throw your
head back, scream, gnash your teeth,
pummel sorneonetodust or giveup.
Warner Brothers' Falling Down
begins with Michael Douglas giving
up. He's fed up with the atrophy in
the city, work and home to the point
where he abandons his car in Los
Angeles morning traffic to go home
for his daughter's birthday.
"dear a path. I'm going home

The story revolves around his

detective who pieces together Dou-
g'identitywhiletryingtoguesshis
' destination. Barbara Hershey plays
Douglas' ex-wife terrified of her

The theme behind Falling Down
is deterioration. The tide refers to a
descent both specific and far-reach-
ing. Man, the dry and the American
ideal are revealed to be in a vicious
�� cycle of decay and intolerance. The
white mkidledass which Douglas
representsispresentedasrheincreas-
inglyvokriessandpowenssminor-
ity in the melange of Los Angeles
social and ethnic levels His name is
withheld from theaudienoe until the
last 14 of the movie to add to the
generic aspect of his role.
As Douglas makes his way
i through the less-glamorous sections
of LA he grows more and more
incensed by what he sees as perver-
sions of the ideals he grew up with
Each obstruction gives him another
opportunityforvituperativetangents
of how things should be. High prices,
prejudiceand unnecessary diversions
from the normal routine takeiton the

EbbeRoeSmith'sscreenplayhas
its merits. Itbecomes obvious lateron
in the film that Douglas'anger stems
from his failed marriage and his vari-
ous ccrifrontations and are merely
examples of misdirected anger in the
faceof powerlessness. Hecaresforhis
family but his frustration in the rela-
tionshipisfooisedcritohissurround-
ings. It is a dever observation of hu-
mannaturethatwas last witnessed in
Do the Right Thing.
However, Spike Lee's movie al-
lowed us familiarity with the charac-
ters before they exploded in rage in
the dimax. Douglas is an Everyman
to the audience until his personal life
is revealed. As a result the shock erf
seeing a sympathetic character re-
duced to base reflex is lost. It would
havebeen much more affecting tobe
given theopportunitytosecond-guess
him before he "falls down
Smith's script dabbles in absur-
dity with the icon-like appearance of
conservative life that Douglas con-
veys. His short-sleeved button-up
shirt, horrid tie and H. Ross Perot

archetypical nerd. And toseefhisstiff

scenes between Duvall and Douglas

becomes less liked as his acts of ag-

where the sporadic attention paid to

Dashboard Saviors save

Saviors from the rampaging hordes of coun-

Unlikemost country acts, they don'tplay

don'tmythologize life in the American South
(unless they make it into a sort of hell).
Another thing keeping this group from
the country ranks is its point of origin. The

'Amos and Andrew' leaves terrible aftertaste
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
The next time anyone asks
why I don't want to become a film
critic when I grow up, I will cite
Amos and Andrew as the perfect
reason why I like keeping film
criticism as an avocation.
Amos and Andrew, a new film
starring Nicholas Cage and
Samue' L Jackson, left such a bit-
ter aftertaste in my mouth that it
may be a while before I volunteer
to review a marginal movie again.
I define a marginal film as
one that possesses no admirable
qualities in its credits. After being
around film for a long enough
time,one begins togetacquainted
with many of the artists respon-
sible for the film, mostly directors
and writers.
If neither the writer nor direc-
tor looks familiar, one can look at
the stars and sometimes a like-
able star can sell a film (Ground-
hogDay isan example.) Lastly, the
title may catch one's eye, perhaps
the film is a remake or maybe an
adaptation of a good novel. A
marginal film contains unremark-
able actors and no familiar artists
associated with it.
The last marginal film I re-
viewed was Hexed. If not for hav-
ing seen that piece of tripe I could
say that Amos and Andrew is the
worst film of the year. Since I have
seen both, that dubious distinc-
tion will have to be shared.
Amos and Andrew chronicles
the trials of a black professor
named Andrew Sterling (Samuel
L. Jackson)and a small time hood,
AmosO'Dell (Nicholas Cage.) The
story unfolds during one long
night on an exclusive island off
Massachusetts, which could not
have lasted any longer than the
fiH -eemed to.
during the evening Andrew
' -ling is mistaken for a thief. As
me islander (Michael Lemer) puts
it: "When you see a black man on
this island with his arms full of
stereo equipment, you know
damn good and well what he's
doing
The entire film tries to poke
fun at stereotypes yet the overall
result is a trivialization of racism
without any humor. The treat-
ment of the rich is no better. The
rich on the island all fall into the
snobbish, self-centered cliches.
One man says he won't give
Amos the keys to his car because
it was an anniversary present
from his wife. When Amos turns
to the wife to say he's sorry but
that he still needs the keys she
says, "Don't look at me, that car
was a present from his second
wife Lines like this fell sicken-
ingly flat. They sound pathetic
not witty. Rather than lampoon-
ing the stereotypes the fihn mak-
ers unwittingly accentuate them.
During the course of the
evening Amos and And rew (note
tnat even the title tries pitifully to
be creative to no avai 1) learn more
about each other and become un-
likely friends. One similarity,
which the writer and director E.
Max Frye, that they share is hay
fever. In one scene that is meant
to be touching Amos admits,
while Andrew is sneezing, that
he too suffers from the affliction,
especially fresh cut grass.
Later in the story, in an ap-
parent attempt to provide conti-
nuity, Amos falls on fresh cut
grass and begins a sneezing fit.
"See he says, "fresh cut grass
Like everything else that happens
in the film the viewer is left
scratching his head and wonder-
ing: What is the point?
Not only does the central
story fail but the minor stories are
even worse. Dabney Coleman's
police chief running for a govern-
ment office plays the bumbling
officer cum politician in a manner
reminiscent of the later Police

Payne preparing for confrontation with North Carolina
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
ECU basketball coach Eddie Payne is
preparing for what may be the most difficul t
game of his career. After leading the Pirates
to the CAA championship and earning a
coveted berth in the NCAA tournament,
Payne has been "rewarded" with facing the
top team in the country, the North Carolina
Tar Heels. The Tar Heels, always a national
power, are once again loaded with All-
American talent and a desire to hang an-
othernabonal championship banner in their
gym.
The Pirates have received tremendous
exposure from the sports media, as well as a
fair amountofcriticismforentering the tour-
nament with a 13-16 record. East Carolina, a
virtual unknown to national basketball com-
petition, is competing in "the Big Dance" for
the first time since 1972.
Payne said the media exposure ECU
basketball has received from ESPN and other
outlets will tremendously affect the market-
ability of the school, but facing North Caro-
lina in the first round may prove to be a little
daunting to his team.
'It's good for the program, but hard for
the team Payne said. "It's important to get
this kind of exrxsure,butit'sdifficultcri this
teamtoplaysuchagreatteam thematchups
for NorthCarolina are probably worse than
any other team, plus they have so much
depth
Payne said that facing UNC would be
difficult in many different aspects, espe-
cially penetrating their aggressive traps and
overplaying defense.
"Their style of play, the way they trap,
makes things very difficult he said. "It's
not just that they trap you, it's that they trap
you from so many different angles, most
people don't play that way North Caro-
lina traps you everywhere so it's a tough,
tough deal You gotta make plays against
athletic guys who are also big. How to attack
and handle their defense is the biggest con-
cern
Payne said he hopes his team's defen-
sive effort will be able to force UNC to shoot
from the outside, but even though he is
concerned with the Tarheels' inside game,
he is more concerned with their team phi-
losophy.
"The system, the things they do, that's
the focus. You can't really worry about one
person Payne said.
The Heels have been suspect from the
perimeter in past games and this has worked
against them. Payne's Pirates must attempt
to contain the inside production of Tar Heel
center EricMontrosswhilehoping Carolina's
guards are inconsistent from the perimeter.
"(Defensively)you havetogiveup some
things, you can't play mem straight up.
You're going to have to make some conces-
sions and hope that maybe they won't ex-
ecute as well or have a bad night shooting.
You gotta give up something
Payne said the incredible CAA victory
over James Madison toenter the tournament
has done wonders for the team's self-es-
teem, but doesnot believe thattheunderdog
statusprovidedtothembytheirlosingrecord
willgivethemanyadvantagesin Thursday's
game against the Tar Heels.
"We definitely don't mink of ourselves
as losers, we won the championship, so that
image is something that's been wiped out.
That's something we've been trying to do
with this program for quite some time. But I
can't see us having any kind of advantages
against North Carolina. What we've accom-
Eddie Payne, head
coach of the ECU
men's basketball
team, prepares his
troops for possibly
the toughest game
since the end of
the Duke-ECU
series.
plished does create some advantages and
some positive effects on us
Competing against Dean Smith, the
legendary coach of the Tar Heels, is not a
new experience for Payne. As a player at
Wake Forest University and an assistant
coach at South Carolina, Payne has com-
peted against Smith before, experiences that
have brought him a deep respect for the
coach. Payne said, despite this respect, he
will approach this game like he does any
other.
"It is an honor (to coach against Smith)
cause I have a great deal of respect for him,
but it'snot somethingyou really think about.
As a player people used to ask me what I
thought about playing against ('70s N.C.
State star) David Thompson, who in that era
was like Michael Jordan in this era, the best
player in the country. I remember telling
them 'If I sit there and wonder about how
great he is, how will that help me?' You
respect people but you don't hold them in
awe, otherwise you Tl get paralyzed and not
be able to do anything
Payne doesn't see this "Big Dance" ap-
pearanceasaone-shotdeal,andisoptimistic
about the future success of Pirate basketball.

Payne said he hopes this tournament ap-
pearance, regardless of the outcome, will
create new student excitement about the
program.
"I just hope that this is the beginning of
a process to create a terrific basketball atmo-
sphere here at East Carolina. Basketball
games and the atmosphere they create are a
lot of fun and the students have an awful lot
to do with that I'd just like to get this pro-
gramtobe an exciting event, and something
for everyone to really get involved in. If
students turn out, we'll be a lot better as a
team and a program

who threw 118 pitches on the day.

Bloom surrounds himself
with success at East Carolina
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
Charles Bloom, ECU's sports
information director, is a man who
likes to surround himself with suc-
cess. A glance at his office walls,
lined with service awards and
plaques, reveals a shrine con-
structed to remind
him of the value of
hard work and self-
motivation.
Bloom, in his
fifth year as sports
information direc-
tor, is the
university's liaison
to the media for
ECU's many ath-
letic programs. He
is in charge of set-
ting up media in-
terviews with play-
ers and coaches, keeping statisti-
cal data on Pirate games, and keep-
ing the media informed of ECU
athletic events. Given the size and
emphasis of East Carolina's ath-
letic department, Bloom's job is
no easy task.
Charles Bloom
His office's decor includes a
merit award for work at the 1984
Olympics in Los Angeles, a book-
case filled with the biographies of
successful business figures and
sports personalities,and textbooks
on the art of public relations and
media management. There is a
"Young Man of the Year" award
on one side of his
desk, balanced by
photographs of
Bloom standing next
to Robert Jones and
Tom Scott on the
other. Directly across
from his aesk, next
to his degree from the
University of South
Carolina, is a script
of Bear Bryant's
speech, "What It
Takes to be Number
One
Bloom entered his field while
in college at the University of Ne-
vadaat Las Vegas,wnere he served
as editor of his college newspa-
per. When a friend told him of an
opening in the sports information
department, Bloom began work
there as a student assistant. Bloom
participated through his sophorj
more year until he transferred to'
South Carolina and entered theiC,N,
department. i
When his superior at South I
Carolina moved to Louisiana State i
to head the sports information pro-
gram there, he drafted Bloom asj
his assistant. Bloom left LSU 18"
months later to become an associ- 1
ate sports information director a�a
Ole Miss, where he prepared for"
13 months to gain the head posi- j
tion at ECU.
Bloom's professional life is a
world of numbers and statistics.
In media conferences, when re-
porters need to know who played
second base on the 1973 all-star
team, Bloom is quick with a name,
and sometimes even a batting av
erage to go with it. Bloom smile
at this ability, to him it is all in a
day's work.
"I'm a historian Bloom said!
"My job says that I'm the histOr
rian. I look at my job as: I service

See BLOOM page 12
Hoosier may take the title once more
NCAA tournament might copy
preseason NIT
(AP) � Plenty of people will feel foolish after
spending three weeks filling in those too-small
NCAA tournament grids only to arrive at a result
that appeared in newspapers last Nov. 27.
That was when Indiana beat Seton Hall 78-74 in
New York to win the Preseason NIT champion-
ship. The Hoosiers will turn the trick again April 5
in New Orleans, this time to secure the postseason
national championship. The score might even be
the same. But present on the stage this time, al-
though well in the background, will be Georgia
Tech and North Carolina.
We're getting ahead of ourselves.
It was only Sunday that the NCAA tournament
selection committee, after much scratching of its
collective scalp, came up with the 64-team field.
Exactly what caused the members so much discom-
fort isn't clear, since 30 teams from various confer-
ences are automatic qualifiers and the committee
claims to have an 84-step process that enables it to
determine the 34 other worthies.
That sounds like 83 steps too many. Because
any time Bob Knight has one hand guiding a very
good basketball team and the other free to keep his
foot a good distance from his mouth, it can only
mean one thing: the man expects to hang another
championship banner at Assembly Hall. Meaning
this will be a year when whoever the NCAA invites
to fill out the backdrop doesn't much matter.
That's not to say it will be easy � even though
Knight himself should find the going much easier
than last year. Some people you worry about when
they get loud; with Knight you worry about when
he is quiet. And to get this team to play well, he
won't have to resort to bul 1 whips, cerebral reversal,
Anticipatory Muscular-Visual Conditioning, or any
of the other bizarre training regimens he rambled
on about needing to prepare last year's team. And
unless he plans to do the surgery on Alan
Henderson's knee, there isn't even much tinkering
left for Knight to do.
Much like the famous scene from the movie "El
Cid the Hoosiers will have to figure out a way to
prop up Henderson to make it look like he's ready
for battle. They will need at least the threat of his
defensive presence � mainly as a shot-blocking
threat � on a few occasions to get through the.
Midwest. But that's about it.

Charles Bloom
keeping the easy facet of his job,
but not the part he enjoys most.
Bloom said it is working with the
student-athletes at the university
that makes him happiest, despite
the difficulties he faces while ECU
strives for a higher profile in ath-
letic circles.
"We'vejustgot so many great
people in our organization in
terms of our student athletes. It's
such a pleasure to work for them.
When Robert
Jones was here,
his freshman
year was mv
first year here,
when it became
known that he
was going to be
pretty good I
worked with
him very
closely for four
years and Jeff
Blake; what a
super human
being. Success
reallydidn'tgo
to his head like
it would have
for a lot of
people. . . here
at East Caro-
lina, we have to do so much more
for our student athletes than a
Florida State or a Miami. . . we
have to make more phone calls
and send more letters because
people just don't know about us.
To me Jeff Blake was the best
plaver in college football his se-
nioryear.ltwasjustdifficulttoget
people to see that
Bloom said he feelsone aspect
of the work his office does with
ECU's student-athletes is just as
important to their careers as what
they do academically: teaching
them communication skills.
"When recruits come here, I
talk to them and tell them that
through my office you do one of
the most important things in your
life, and that's communicate. You
could be the best scientist, the best
writer, the best golfer; but if you
can't communicate with other
people you're going to fail
Bloom said he has faced frus-
tration over seeing ECU players
lose awards to other players solely
from their school's bigger football
reputations. He lists Robert Jones'
loss of the Lombardi award to a
Michigan player as a prime ex-
ample.
"It's real tough to break this

because you've got people out
there who have never heard of
East Carol ina. In my office we have
to do a hard sell, we have to send
all the personal letters and make
all the phone calls, that a Miami
may not have to. We have to do
anything we can. But it's getting a
little easier
Bloom lists possible confer-
ence affiliation as an important
development for ECU's national
publicity.
He feels that a future expan-
sion of the Big East may include
East Carolina, which would pro-
vide the football program with
schedulingsecuri ty, improved re-
cruiting and better opportunities
for bowl appearances.
Bloom said that basketball, the
other high-revenue sport at this
university, must pick up the pace
to keep track.
"We need the student body to
come toour home games, we need
Continued from page 11
alumni to follow us around to away
games. If people want a big-time
basketball program its going to
take a commitment from every-
body I think the commitments
already been made in football, but
basketball just needs to step it upa
notch (This interview was con-
ducted before the Pirates' CAA
championship and resulting
NCAA berth). 6
Bloom said the exciting na-
ture of ECU athletics makes sell-
ingtheuniversity'sathleticsmuch
easier, particularly the football
program. He said he believes this
dramatic tendency, combined with
the loyalty of local fans will push
ECU into a higher level of success.
"Last year we were 5-6 and we
still brokeattendance records. You
can always bring them in when
you win, but what are you going
to do when you stumble? It's easy
to follow a winner, it's easy to
stand in line to buy Peach Bowl
tickets, butwill people waitin line
to buy rickets to see a 5-6 football
team? I hope that our fans will
continue to answer the call

TOURNAMENT
MARCH 18, 1993
Continued from page 11
Indiana's strongest challenge
figures to come from two-time
defending champion Duke in the
regional finals at St. Louis. Given
Knight's considtrable history
with former disciple Mike
Krzyzewski, the game will fea-
ture two teams that are mirror-
images of one another � motion
offense and man-to-man defense
� and two coaches who could be
� if you used a funhouse mirror.
Knight will still like what he sees
when it's over. And from there,
it's just a short ride down the Mis-
sissippi River to New Orleans,
where Indiana will dispose of East
region winner North Ca rolina and
then Seton Hall.
But we're getting ahead of
ourselves again. To recap:
North Carolina will win the
anemic East and the only person
bruised will be Dean Smith. The
North Carolina coach will have
reached another Final Four only
to be turned awav again � and
this yea r not even on the ballot for
coach of the vear. Again.
In the VVest, all the hand-
wringing about making Michigan
the top seed in Arizona's back-
yard will turn out to have been
wasted energy. Late-charging
Georgia Tech will overtake what-
ever Michigan's collection of
young roosters is calling itself
these days, then crawl past
Vanderbilt.
No doubt, Seton Hall will
have the hardest road to the Final
Four. The Hall will have to muffle
AnferneeHardaway of Memphis
State and then sedate frenetic
Florida State, no easy duet. Then
comes Kentucky. Then goes Ken-
tucky. Then Georgia Tech.
Thescenario Knight is dream-
ing up, except for the trophv pre-
sentation at the end, might be very
different. No matter. He's appar-
ently been dreaming up a lot of
scenarios.
Ashis team left the floor Sun-
day after beating Wisconsin 87-80
in the final Big Ten Conference
game of the season, Knight
stopped to talk with Wisconsin
coach Stu Jackson.
"Coach Knight came over to
me and sa id he knew the NIT was
going to invite us Jackson re-
called, "so that's a reliable
source
At this time of year, there's
none better.
TEC would like to thank senior center Ike
Copeland, point guard Ronnell Peterson,
and forward James Lewis for their efforts at
ECU. Good luck against the Tarheels.
