Women abducted from local parking lot
By Tammy Carter
Staff Writer
Two women were abducted
from Chico's parking lot at gun
point at approximately 12:30 Sat-
urday night, August 14.

Students should remember that even in open areas downtown, such as this parking lot, crimes can fake
place. Two women were abducted around this area Saturday, August 14.
women, in
their mid-
twenties,
were leaving
the restau-
rant when a
white male
entered their
vehicle. He
forced one
victim to
drive around mmmmmmm?
town, while
he got into the back seat with the
other woman.
According to" Green ville De-
tectiveSergeant Janice Harris, the
suspect made some type of ges-
ture towards his clothing, but at
that point did not attempt to as-
sault either one of the women.
The woman in the back seat
jumped out of the moving vehicle,
and the woman driving soon fol-
lowed. Neither woman was
physically injured.
The man fled with the ve-
hicle, which was later recovered
on Porter Town Road, approxi-
m a t e I y
one mile
away.
The
suspect is
described
as a white
male, me-
d i u m
built, pos-
sibly in his
thirties or
, forties.
No ar-
rests have been made in this inci-
dent.
Although the victims were
not ECU students, the incident is
a reminder to all students to be
alert to possible danger. While
women may be more vulnerable
to assaults, men are not exempt
from violent attacks.
" Trust your instincts.
If people look
suspicious, be
careful.

Staff Reports
The East Carolinian
ECU students can expect
another tuition bill soon because
of an increase passed by the
General Assembly of North
Carolina.
While the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate were
divided on the actual increase
amount, they finally reached a
decision based upon a compro-
mise.
This year, in-state students
will be charged an additional 3
percenton theiroriginal tuition
bill. Next year, the increase will
be 3.5 percent.
Out-of-state students will
be expected to pay a 6.5 percent
increase both this and next year.
Jim Johnson of the Appro-
priations Committee, Fiscal Re-
search Division, located in Ra-
leigh, said that although there
will be an increase, North Caro-
lina still ranks low in tuition
costs with only a few states of-
fering cheaper tuition.
Enrollment for fall
estimated at 18,000
By Molly Perkins
Special to The East Carolinian
The Admissions Office at
ECU expects fall 1993 enrollment
to be around 18,000 students.
Enrollment figures project that
2400 new freshmen and nearly
1700 transfer students will be
attending ECU in the fall. The
figures are only projections and
actual numbers will not be avail-
able until all students have ar-
rived and paid fees.
SAT scores of incoming
freshmen will climb for the fifth
straight year, reaching a 20-year
high for the university. The av-
erage SAT score of this year's
freshman class is 923, whereas
last year's average was 900. The
23 point increase from 1992 is
ECU's largest single-year in-
crease in SAT scores ever. Since
1988, ECU's average SAT score
has jumped 60 points.
Gerry Clayton, assistant d i -
rector of admissions at ECU, says
that the university has been rnak-
ing an effort to improve the qual-
ity of students attending ECU.
Increased applications allow the
university to be more selective
in the admissions process.
ECU has grown from
14,878 students in 1987 to the
r projected 18,000 for 1993. Uni-
versity officials say the growth
spurt over the past five years
will slow considerably through-
out the decade, as admissions
tries to bring expansion under
control.
The university will try to
level off expansion over the next
eieht vears bv keeoine erowth
to about two percent annually
until the year 2000, when ECU
should have 20,000 students.
Dr. Ronny Van Sant, direc-
tor of the North Carolina Teach-
ing Fellows Program at ECU, re-
ports that 44 students chose to
attend ECU under the Teaching
Fellows Program. The average
GPA for this class is 3.6 and the
average SAT score is 1080.
Among the 33 females and 11
males are 37 whites, four blacks,
two Asians and one Native
American.
One of the main objectives
of university officials over the
last few years has been to in-
crease the number of minorities
enrolling in the university. The
number of minority applicants
has increased 12 percent over
the past two years, although the
number of this year's applicants,
906, is very close to last year's
numberof912. Minority admits
represent 8.2 percent of all ad-
mits, just as they did last year.
The May 20, 1993 edition
of Black Issues in Education lists
ECU as 26th among all the
nation's predominantly white
schools in the number of bacca-
laureate degrees conferred upon
African Americans. Also, East
Carolina is 15th in conferral of
education degrees upon African
Americans and 10th in conferral
of health sciences baccalaure-
ates.
The crime analyst for the
Greenville Police Department,
Cheryl Tafoya, offered some
precautions when people are
out, especially in the down-
townarea: Do not go out alone!
There should be at least two
people in your group, prefer-
ably more. Be sure to stay in
well-lit areas. Make sure that
your keys are ready so that
you do not have to fumble for
them when you reach your car.
The most important
thing you can do is to be con-
scious of the people around
you, especially if you do not
know them.
"Always be alert
Tafoya said. "Trust your in-
stincts. If people look suspi-
cious, be careful
Tafoya also offered a good
driving safety tip. When you
stop at a red light, leave some
space between your vehicle and
theoneinfrontofyou. If some-
one approaches your vehicle,
you have room to move for-
ward to avoid the person.
Student store renovations complete
Months of hard work finally pay off
By Greg Sember
Staff Writer
Photo by Codrlc Van Buren
This pirate, a vinyl-tiled mosaic,
was unveiled at the reopening.
After months of hard
work, renovations to the Stu-
dent Store are virtually com-
plete. The result of this hard
work is a new and exciting place
where everyone can shop for
school supplies and Pirate mer-
chandise.
The manager of the Stu-
dent Store, Michael Coston, said
that the main reason for the
renovation was simply because
the store had not been reno-
vated for 20 years.
He also wanted students
to be able to walk in and realize
that this is their store. To this
end, students were surveyed to
determine what they wanted in
a "new" store before any con-
struction began.
The cost of the renovation
was $354,000, but none of this
will be passed on to the stu-
dents at anytime in the future.
"All of our revenue goes
back to the students in the store
or for scholarships Coston
said. "We have saved money
for five years to do this and we
will not have to raise prices
In fact, his feeling was that
a modern and exciting store
would generate more interest
and sales; therefore, prices
would go down.
The Student Store also
plans to expand its selection
of merchandise.
While school supplies
and required readings are
currently well stocked, look
for a larger selection of books
in the general reading sec-
tion, more, magazines, news-
papers and Greek merchan-
dise in the future. By theend
of the fall, videos may be
available for renting.
Almost all students are
pleased with the renovation
and the new variety.
"I think it is splendid
said Dennis Wilhem, a phi-
losophy graduate. "I only
wish it could have been reno-
vated sooner
Bookstore holds reopening for faculty
By Karen Hassell
News Editor
ECU Student Store held
its grand-reopening for faculty
and staff on August 19. During
the ceremony, Chancellor Ri-
chard Eakin cut the yellow rib-
bon donning the entrance to
the bookstore
During the ceremony, stu-
dent store employees unveiled
an inlaid vinyl-tiled mosaic Pi-
rate on the floor in front of the
door.
"I'm excited to see the new
store open and to see all the
students coming back said
Mike Coston, director of retail
services at the Student Stores.
Coston said the store has
expanded its clothing depart-
ment, added a few novelty
items such as a stuffed Pirate,
and greatly developed its gen-
eral reading section. The store
will also resume carrying peri-
odicals and is currently look-
ing into offering more of the
nation's major newspapers such
as The Neiv York Times.
"I love it said Eakin. "I
said to someone, it looks like a
real honest-to-goodness colle-
giate bookstore now! It has a
wonderful pattern, the way it's
laid out. It's so attractive and
easy to use.
"I hope the students ap-
preciate what we've done here,
because it's for them, obviously.
It's a much improved facility.

It's much brighter, lighter. It
feels good here. I watched this
process sort of day by day dur-
ing the summer. It was kind of
fun to see
The bookstore remained
open during the renovations,
which, for the most part, took
place over the summer.
The store will con-
tinue to operate with the
same hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Monday through Thursday,
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday
and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sat-

Recycling programs increase cleanup of Greenville and ECU
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
With the help of ECU stu-
dents and Greenville residents,
the grass may soon begin to
grow greener in Greenville.
Groups across town are
implementing various recycling
programs in an effort to clean
up Greenville and control pol-
lution and excess trash prob-
lems.
"The citizens participating
are the key said Joy Hudson,
county recycling coordinator.
Those who live off-cam-
pus may have noticed an addi-
tional "Refuse Fee" on their util-
ity bill. Off-campus residents
can expect to pay $3-$4 a month
for residential recycling which
will begin this month. Tradi-
tional trash bins will be replaced
with adequate recycling con-
tainers.
Once again this year, cam-
pus dorms will promote alumi-
num can recycling. In addition
to recycling in the dorms, stu-
dents are encouraged to use re-
cycling sites across campus.
There has been some discussion
of moving to a one-container
site whereall recyclablescan be
dumped, but an adequate facil-
ity has yet to be discovered.
"No one container will sat-
isfy every area said George
Armistead, hazardous waste
manager and recycling coordi-
nator for ECU.
Armistead also men-
tioned a concern for safety in
the halls, especially with bro-
ken glass.
"We are looking at a
way to move more materials,
and maintain safety in the
dorms Armistead said.
Again this year, recy-
cling facilities will be located
on College Hill (Monday 8
a.mTuesday 4 p.m.) outside

Campus paper cites administrator for censorship
Sidelines, the campus newspaper for Middle Tennessee
State University, has been on the warpath against an administra-
tor for removing papers from a news rack in an apparent attempt
at censorship. The Sidelines staff charged the associate dean of
students with removing newspapers from a special table set forth
to showcase the paper to orientation students. Smith admitted to
removing the papers citing problems with an article about a
Customs Student Orientation Ambassador who allegedly robbed
a local bank. Smith said the article was "embarrassing to the
university Several national legal leaders have dubbed Smith's
actions as criminal. " State schools are prohibited from censoring
student expression said Mark Goodman, the executive director
of the Student Press Law Center in Washington, DC. " Confisca-
tion of papers is something that does not occur in free societies
Students award $10,000 in grants
Graduate; udent at the' niversity of California-Berkeley
were assigned to give $10,000 in grant funds to three California
non-profit groups. In a class project, students taking "Topics in
the Management of Non-Profit Organizations" reviewed 37
grant proposals from non-profit groups and determined which
should receive grant funding provided by the San Francisco
Foundation. One of the recipients uses computer technology to
help disabled children learn to play like non-handicapped chil-
dren; another is a mentoring and tutoring program lor minority
children. The third program chosen wasa student-run volunteer
medical clinic that serves the homeless.

was also made available. Since

The project has 18 certified

consultants are conveying a new
philosophy of teaching which pro-
vokes thought processing in chil-
dren instead of memorization.
"Rather than having kids

thing new the next day, these are

C urrontlv. 12 other field test sites
are till experimenting by using
the reform project in a portion of
classes.
Dr. Charles Coble, dean of
ECU School of Education and
project director, has taken an active
role in pushing the project forward.
Eisenhower grants, targeted for
teacher development, have funded
thesuccessof thisprogram. SERVE,
based in Tallahassee, Florida, also
awarded ECU $3,000 along with a
commendation of excellence.
The division of SERVE lo-
cated at the University of Greens-
boro has been active in evaluating

the North Carolina Project for Re-
form in Science Education. By stay-
ing in close contact with the teach-
ers who are using this new philoso-
phy in their classrooms, SERVE is
able to monitor student test scores;
the results have been positive. Stu-
dents in the pilot and field sites
have been meeting and exceeding
evnectations.
The idea for a reform in sci-
ence education began in 1988 with
an article written by the executive
director of the National Science
Teachers Association. Thisassocia-
tion, funded by the National Sci-
ence Foundation, provided a grant
to North Carolina as well as five
other states for the purpose of a
grade school science reform. The
need for a reform in science, accord-
ing to Everhart, is because of a lack
of effective science teaching in the
'60s and 70s.

According to biology pro-
fessor Dr. Roger Rulifson, ECU is
in the process of signing a Memo-
randum of Understanding with
the Fish and Wildlife Service to
cohabitate the building under the
Partnership for the Sounds pro-
gram.
"The Partnership for the
Sounds is a private-state enter-
prise to foster eco-tourism and
environmental education in the
region Rulifson said. "The
Mattamuskeet Lodge will be one
of three core facilities from which
this program will be based
The Lodge itself will be used
for the pursuit of higher educa-
tion as well as a tourist display
area and environmental education
programs.
"The state's thrust toward
environmental education and eco-
tourism fits in very well with the
long term goals for ECU Coastal
Studies Rulifsonsaid. "ECU will
develop a program to blend in
with what is already there
Restoring the old lodge will
take both time and money, as well
as a bit of hard work.
"It needs a major face-lift, in
addition to various minor repairs
and cleaning up Temple said. "It
definitely needs new wiring; the
wiring there now7 is really ancient.
Also in the plans are heating and
air to make it more tolerable on
hot August nights
Long-term plans include re-
placing some of the steel support
bea ms and some of the brick work.
This work will have to wait until
some of the $3 million requested
from Congress is delivered.

The Mattamuskeet Lodge
was originally built as a pumping
station in 1914-15 in an effort to
drain the lake for farming. The
last owner sold the station along
with almost 50 thousand acres of
land to the federal government in
1934 for use as a refuge for water-
fowl. The Civilian Conservation
Corps converted the pump sta-
tion into a lodge and contracted it
out for hunting and fishing. The
lodge closed in 1974 for economic
reasons and remains unoccupied.
"We eventually hope for the
Albemarle-Pamlico ecosystem to
be a place much like the Ever-
glades. The Lodge will make an
excellent place to go and study, to
do research or to write Rulifson
said.

Staff Writer
Are you new in town and
looking for a way to get involved,
or have you been here a while and
realized there's a lot going on at
East Carolina that you are miss-
ing?
It's never too late to find the
organization for you at ECU. The
university offers programs for
politicians, athletes, those look-
ing to meet new people, serve the
community or learn more about
their major.
The Student Government
Association is the governing body
for students. Simply by becom-
ing a student at ECU, you have
become a member of the SGA.
For students who prefer a
more active political voice, the
SGA will hold elections on Sep-
tember 22. Each class chooses two
representatives, except for the se-
nior class, which elects four rep-
resentatives.
One representative will also
be elected by each dorm of under
350 students and two from each
dorm with more than 350 stu-
dents. Elections for approxi-
mately 45 day-student represen-
tatives will also be held at this
time.
Students may also apply for
appointed positions on the Hon-
ors Review Board and the Fac-
ulty Senate. All interested stu-
dents must fill out an application
at the SGA office in room 255 in
the Mendenhall Student Center.
Recreational Services will
conduct intramurals throughout
the fall semester. Students may
register for wiffle ball and flag
football on August 31 at 4:30 and
5 p.m. respectively. Registration
will be held throughout Septem-
ber for two-player golf, co-rec
volleyball and co-rec basketball.
Register is in room 103 of the
Biology building.
Recreational Services is also

TODAY IN HISTORY
(AP) Today is Wednesday, Aug. 25, the 237th day of 1993.
There are 128 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Aug. 25,1944, Allied forces liberated Paris, ending four
years of German occupation. The surrender of Major General
Dietrich von Choi titz?who had disobeyed Adolf Hitler's order
to level the city ? set off wild celebrations.
On this date:
In 1718, hundreds of French colonists arrived in Louisiana,
with some of them settling in present-day New Orleans.
In 1825, Uruguay declared its independence from Brazil.
In 1835, Ann Rutledge, said by some to have been the early
true love of Abraham Lincoln, died in Illinois at age 22.
In 1875, Captain Matthew Webb became the first person to
swim across the English Channel, traveling from Dover, En-
gland, to Calais, France, in 22 hours.
In 1900, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche died in Weimar,
Germany.
In 1916, the National Park Service was established within
the Department of the Interior.
In 1921, the United States signed a peace treaty with
Germany.
In 1943, 50 years ago, U.S. forces overran New Georgia in
the Solomon Islands during World War II.
In 1950, President Harry Truman ordered the Army to
seize control of the nation's railroads to avert a strike.
In 1985, Samantha Smith, the schoolgirl whose letter to
Yuri V. Andropov resulted in her famous peace tour of the Soviet
Union, was killed with her father in an airliner crash in Maine.
Ten years ago: The United States and the Soviet Union
signed a $10 billion grain pact under which the Soviets were
required to buy at least 9 million metric tons of American grain
each year for five years.
Five years ago: In his sharpest attack yet on the Reagan
administration's drug policies, Democratic presidential nomi-
nee Michael Dukakis criticized U.S. dealings with Panama's
military leader, Gen. Manuel Noriega, saying they were crimi-
nal.
One year ago: Hurricane Andrew thrashed the Louisiana
coast. President George Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton ap-
peared separately before the American Legion in Chicago; Bush
cited his World War II military service while Clinton sought to
bury the controversy over his Vietnam-era draft status.
Today's Birthdays: Former U.S. arms control director Eu-
gene Rostow is 80. Actor Van Johnson is 77. Actor-producer Mel
Ferrer is 76. Actor Don DeFore is 76. Former Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace is 74. Actor Sean Connery is 63. Actor Tom
Skerritt is 60. Actress Anne Archer is 46. Rock singer-actor Gene

The East Carolinian 5
ilty gathers for fall convocation
ed the annua lunmi
Awards to
two tacultv honorees. Chancellor
Richard Eakin addressed the
group.
Newly-elected chair of the
faculty, Dr. Patricia Anderson,
opened the event by expressing
thanks to her predecessor, Dr. John
C. Moskop, for "a job well done
She presented Moskop with a
plaque commemorating his two
years as chair.
Vice Chancellor for Aca-
demic Affairs Marlene Springer
then spoke about the budget and
the curriculum.
"The budget picture is look-
ing up she said, and she pledged
a "thorough review" of under-
graduate curriculum. "We haven't
done that in 19 years she said.
After reading aloud a want
ad from The Wall Street Journal that
detailed a long list of requirements
for a job applicant, Springer talked
of the mission of the university.
"We try to provide people
with a modern liberal education
with modern skills. We need to
break the poverty cycle in eastern
North Carolina, and we must
break the cycle of intolerance
Dr. James Hallock, Vice
Chancellor and Dean of Health
Sciences and the School of Medi-
cine, spoke next about current is-
sues facing his department and
the medical profession.
"We will have health care
reform soon. The Clinton health
care plan will be a straw man for
the states. It will not pass Con-
gress. Oh, bits and pieces of it will
pass, but it will be left up to the
states to use the Clinton plan and
then form their own.

Chancellor Eakin then con-
cluded the awards by announcing
the recipients of the Outstanding
Academic Advisor Awards. Pro-
fessor Judy B. Baker of the School
of Health and Human Perfor-
mance and Associate Professor of
Biology Dr. Susan T. McDaniel
were named Outstanding General
College Advisors. Assistant Pro-

ceived a $250 stipend to be used
toward educational research.
Dean interacts with students on their turf
Eakin concluded the convo-
cation by reporting the success of
the previous year and issuing a
challenge for the coming year.
He said that ECU will re-
ceive $7.1 million from the Gen-
eral Assemblv and money for 58.6
new faculty positions as well.
Eakin also reported success
forhisShared Visionsfundraising
campaign. He said the university
has raised $29 million towards the
$50 million goal, with $24.5 mil-
lion allocated for endowments in-
cluding scholarships and profes-
sorships.
The largestcontributorso far
is Wachovia Bank which gave $667
thousand. Eakin also noted that
Burroughs Wellcome had contrib-
uted $390 thousand to create fel-
lowships in chemistry.
According to Eakin, SAT
scores are up for ECU students.
"In 1988, the average SAT score
for incoming freshmen was 857.
This fall it is 920, a 20 point in-
crease from last year
Eakin closed by stressing the
importance of the statewide bond
issue for the renovation of Joyner
Library and the acquisition of the
formerj.H. Rose High School. "We
must educate the public of the
vital importance of these bonds to
higher education in general and
ECU in particular

Relax, that wasn't your dad at
the Elbo Sunday night. While he
does have two children who call
him Dad, his official title is Dean.
ECU Dean of Students, that is.
" I have counterparts who say,
Tou couldn't pay me enough to go
to the Elbo but I respond by say-
ing I think it's a part of my job
Ronald Speier said.
Speier began his position as
Dean of Students during the sum-
mer of '84, and since thenhasestab-
lished a practiceof keeping in touch
with his students, staying aware of
their needs, and making himself
available to help out in any way he
can.
"My prioritv time is spent with
person contact Speier said. "Nota
day goes by that I don't leave my
office and walk over in front of the
Student Stores and see students
Despitea latenightattheElbo,
a popular dub downtown, Speier
will consistently appear between 9
and 10 a.m. each morning to keep
up with student life on campus.
"That's very important to me
I have a unique way of working
with students. Students appreciate
it, and it works well if I can help a
student, that's what's important to
me
Speier hasn't always worked
withsomanystudents. Beforecom-
ing to ECU, Speier was Dean of
Studentsat LaRocheCollege in Pitts-
burgh, Pennsylvania. At ECU,
Speier monitors 5,400 students liv-
ing on campus. At LaRoche, that
number was considerably smaller.
Size isn't the only difference be-
tween the two schools.
"ECUisastateschool,sowe
get a very diverse population be-
cause of our admissions process and
our commitment to Eastern Caro-
lina Speier said. "There's some-
thing happening here every day"
Speier sounds like a proud
father when he speaks of watching
a student graduate whom he has
somehow helped along the way.
However, Speier said that road to
graduation sometimes has sev-
eral obstacles.
The office of Student Ser-
vices, from which Speier works,
sees a variety of cases pass
through, ranging from students
looking for excused absences to
more serious disciplinary prob-
lems.

ECU receives face-lift
Riding the Mobius
By Jason Tremblay
Summer proves to be prime time
for renovations and additions to
many campus buildings
In the spirit of this entire, larger-than-life-sized
newspaper: WELCOME BACK! For those of you who
haven't been here, it has been a long, semi-productive
summer. Aren't they all? It's kind of been one of those
summers where you 're ready to start back to school, bu t
you'd really like to continue waking up late and worry-
ingabouta maximum of rwoclasses. News flash: WAKE
UP! SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY OVER! REAL LIFE
MUST BEGIN AGAIN!
Ahem. While some of you were in other areas of
the country or state (Oh, how we envied you), some of
us were attending classes and a handful of us were
working hard at putting out an edition of The East
Carolinian every week. As we look back, we find that
.quite a few things have happened at ECU in your
collective absence. Who better to fill you in on all that
you've missed than your faithful, friendly Opinion
Page?
As if anyone needs to be told this, enrollment is up.
It is evident in that walking to class is reminiscent of a
jaunt up Park Avenue at lunch hour (Park Avenue is a
street in New York City, folks. Put your imagination
caps on). Total enrollment this semester is estimated at
18,000. While this is very good for the university, it isn't
so great for the parking problem, class availability or for
just finding a quiet place to eat or talk. Having elbows
shoved into your side can get tiring awfully quickly. Is
this what they feel like at Chapel Hill?
Various buildings have been renovated or built.
The area around the Graham Building received a well-
deserved face-lift and some additional lighting. Todd
Dining Hall (on the Hill) has sprung up suddenly"and
is growing as fast as dandelions do (dandelions grow
Very fast). Not to be outdone, the Mendenhall Snack Bar
has also upgraded its food selections and its layout is a
little more aesthetically pleasing. The Student Store in
the Wright Building is more like a real bookstore and
carries a wider selection of extra-curricular reading
materials. So all in all, ECU looks better than ever.
To elaborate on the real issues, in the year's first
faculty meeting, Chancellor Richard Eakin spoke pas-
sionately on the greatest challenge of the university: the
passage of the bond referendum. It is scheduled to be on
the November 2 ballot and would provide $28.9 million
for additions and renovations to Joyner Library. Kudos
to Chancellor Eakin for keeping this very important
issue alive in the heads and hearts of the faculty and the
community. As students, this is imperative to our fu-
ture and for those who come after us.
However, most distressing of all is the fact that
tuition has been raised. Granted, it wasn't a very large
increase in comparsion to other schools, but there are
many people here who just scrape by. Any tuition
increase is bound to adversly affect someone. While we
at ECU have one of the lowest overall tuition rates in the
cpuntry, it would be nice if it could stay that way. Here's
to keeping it under $700.
l O.K so you didn't miss that much. ECU got along
fine without the 18,000 or so students that it has now
and Greenville once again proved that it isn't just a
college town.
It pains me to use this analogy but?it's like when
you miss a week of your favorite soap opera. For a
couple of days you have no idea what's going on, but
eventually you catch up.
Once again, welcome back! Be sure totune in to The
East Carolinian on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning
next week. Remember, a little stress never hurt anyone.

Government ignores importance of 'Home Sweet Home'
Have you over watched one
of those cheesy TV movies where
some old person's home is going to
be taken away for whatever rea-
son, and said old person comes
running out with a shotgun every
time someone steps on her prop-
erty? I've seen a few of them my-
self, and I always thought it was
kind of funny and really stupid.
"Just move and deal with it, lady
I would always think to myself,
"It's not that big of a deal
Now it's happening to my
family and I find that it really is a
big deal.
Is anyone out there familiar
with the words "imminent do-
main"? These are not cool words,
kids. Well, actually, they do sound
pretty cool together, but what they
stand for really sucks.
In a nutshell, imminent do-
main means that the government
has complete legal rights to swoop
down and seize my family's prop-
erty by paying us "fair market
value such as it is, to be deter-
mined by their appraisers.
Just like that, we're out of
house and home, whether we like
it or not. The house that three gen-
erations of my father's family has
lived, worked and played in, the
house where I grew up, will soon
be a pile of rubble to be quickly
covered with asphalt in the name
of the Route 222 Highway Expan-
sion Project. A highway is claim-
ing my house arid there's really
nothing we can do about it.
The thing that makes this so
very annoying and hopeless is the
fact that we have no control over
the situation. We can't decide that
we don't like the amount that
they're offering, because we are
literally in no position to negotiate;
whatever they feel like offering us,
we are forced to accept? and leave.
Such is my understanding of
this whole mess. There may be
other options hidden somewhere,
but no one seems to be pointing
them out to us. The legality of the
whole affair will be lost on me and
I really have no desire to under-
stand why they are able to force us
to sell our property.
Consider for a moment that
you own a 1968 Ford Mustang,
cheery red and in mintcondition. It
didn't start out that way, but you
spent long hours in the garage fix-
ing it up to get it to showroom
condition. Now, you get married,
you have a kid and you need some
extra cash. You decide to sell your
car. Some guy offers you $500 and
you laugh in his face and telling
him to try an AMC Pacer dealer for
that kind of money.
With the Mustang, you have
control over your property as well
as its selling price. With our house,
there is no such control.
Why, you ask? It's so the gov-
ernment can construct a hugely
expensive and wholly unnecessary
"loop" to alleviate a traffic prob-
lem that I never would have known
existed had they not told us that it
was there. When the government
ran crush the ultimate dream of
home ownership under its big,
ugly, bureaucratic heel and tell
you not to cry about it, it some-
how seems like a travesty of jus-
tice and a blemish on the Ameri-
can Way.
Many others in my neigh-
borhood feel the same way.
They've all lived here their whole
lives as well and none of us are
too hip to the idea of putting our
lives into U-Hauls and starting
over somewhere that isn't home.
Now we're biding our time until
the government finally feels like
giving us the money, because they
won't buy when we want to sell,
only when they're damn good
and ready.
Who knows. The next RtM
may come to you from the same
Smith-Corona sitting on the same
kitchen table,but it may also come
from a different kitchen in a house
that will never quite be Home.
Now stop reading, think
about it, go get a pizza and watch
some cartoons
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a
single step.

Letters to the Editor
SGA addresses keg ban, future of tailgating
To the Editor:
Over the summer, there
was a decision made by the
University to ban kegs during
tailgating activities. Over the
past two years, the university
has seen a rise in alcohol-re-
lated problems in the parking
lots before games. They have
attributed these problems to
kegs and subsequently, banned
them from ECU games. What
this means is that tailgaters can
still drinkalcohol, butnotfrom
a free-flowing source.
This rule applies to Pirate
Club members, young alumni,
etc not only to students. The
SGA has designated three
people to patrol around to
make sure the ban is not being
limited to students. If there are
any inconsistencies, the Uni-
versity will be informed.
In the past few years,
University administrators ha ve
strived to work closely with
the student leadership. How-
ever, the final decision to ban
kegs was made without stu-
dent representation. A commit-
tee met with student leaders in
late May to inform the students
of the new ban; however the
decision has already been
made. The keg topic had come
up before in meetings between
student leaders and university
officials, and the students made
good points on why a ban on
kegs would create a host of
other problems. These officials
took notice of the points and
said they kept them in mind
while creating the new rule, but
felt the decision to ban kegs
was the best decision under the
circumstances.
In reaction to the ban, the
SGA passed a resolution in op-
position of the new rule. Any
other actions, such as boycott-
ing games, was not taken sim-
ply because boycotting a foot-
ball game to protest a ban on
kegs would reflect badly on the
student body.
The main goal of the SGA
is to make sure this ban is not
the beginning of a series of
steps to be taken by the univer-
sity which will end tailgating
for students or move students
to a new tailgating area. These
ideas have been discussed by
University officials with stu-
dent leaders. These sugges-
tions have generally been ada-
mantly opposed by students,
but more student leaders need
to voice their opinions. An-
other important part of main-
taining the current tailgating
location and atmosphere is to
tailgate responsibly and work
with the Athletic department
and Public Safety to create a
safer atmosphere. This chal-
lenge to students is much like
the Halloween challenge. We
rose to the occasion last year
and guaranteed the Hallow-
een celebration for this year.
Let's do the same for tail-
gating next year.

Technology
essential to
daily existence
Before getting started, I wanted to say
that this is a story that reveals my own weak-
ness. Any moral or message that may be
perceived is because of the reader's discre-
tion and or the writer crossing his fingers in
a frantic effort to get a response.
As most stories do, this one started out
simple. In fact, it started with only two par-
ents and two words: "Get out No, better
make that five words: "Get out, you worth-
less bum See, already things are getting
complicated. So I got out. Yes, those words
were for me, and there were lots more after
that, but it's not nice to print ugly comments
on the Opinion Page (we leave those to the
News Department).
I also got an apartment and a job that
paid decent wages. Because I worked hard for
such serious goals (italicized ones at that), this
past week I got 'strep throat. So I'm at home
now. Cough. Feeling miserable. Sniff. Won-
dering how I can milk this illness for all it's
worth. Wheeze. When suddenlyPOP!
BEEEEYYEEeeww.Thepowergoesoff. Now,
I'm not alarmed, since Greenville is known
for it's occasional power outages. They usu-
ally happen at four in the morning to ensure
that no one's alarm clock goesoff. Ialsoknow
Greenville. So I give the utility people a call.
After a riotous bout of Telephone Tag
with Engineering, Control, Crisis Control,
Remote Control and some woman named
Wilma, I found out that: my power was
turned off. (Duh) By accident. (Ditto duh)
Sorry! Then the infamous, "Well have itback
on in no time
For those of you who are new to this
line, "back on in no time" means "whenever
we dam well feel like it They obviously
didn't feel like it for six hours. Within those
hours, I learned something mortifying. I am
a slave to technology, or more simply, elec-
tricity. There isn'tone area of my life that isn't
somehow affected by it.
For instance, I had to open all of my
shades and doors so that I could see to take a
shower, flashing the neighborhood in the
process. Scratch watching television. My ra-
dio was dead. No air conditioning either, but
couldn't I turn on a fan torats. Can't cook
anythingeither.MyGod,Iwas going to dieof
starvation, heat exhaustion and sheer bore-
dom before the day was over!
Then I stopped panicking and tried to
rationalize the situation. This was ridiculous!
I wascertainlynotgoingtodie. Humanshave
survived for thousands of years without the
aid of electricity. Why even Davy Crockett
(my childhood hero) carried on without a
fridge and CD player. I forget that what I
sometimes consider a godsend is nothing
more than a tool concocted by humankind.
So, when the utility manfinally dropped
by, I greeted him casually, in control. I was by
an open window, enjoying a cool breeze,
reading a book. Without the aid of electricity.
One small step for me. Of course, once my
modem conveniences were back on line, I
embraced them like an old friend presumed
dead. I'll still use them. But I'm wary of them,
too. Maybe modem conveniences have be-
come a bit too convenient.
Between you and me though, I'd like to
see just how fast Mister Crockett heads back
to the wild frontier after a day of basking in
our air conditioning.

example, the furor over one baby named Irma has renewed
media interest in Bosnia-Herzegovina when wHe-spread eth-
nic cleansing and mass rapes have affected hundreds of thou-
sands of people for over a year. The press attempts to curry
empathy for Somalia by showing not the deaths of our troops
or war correspondents, but the starvation of children despite
our presence there.
What is truly disturbing, however, is the use of children
here in the United States for recondite legal debates.
In the past months, a plethora of custody battles have
permeated the news in areas that redefine the rights not only
of parents, but of the children themselves. The infamous Baby
Jessica case in Michigan strengthened the claim of biological
parents to the children they entrust to adoption services (I'm
hesitant to say "give up" now, because parents apparently are
determined to keep privileges regarding the child). A Ver-
mont Family Court judge decided that a father is entitled to
broad visitation rights with his child, who is now adopted. In
Florida, Kimberly Mayes argued against her natural parents'
right to visitation after a highly-publicized baby swap 14 years
previous. Children's rights can be taken too far.
A 13-year-old legally divorced his mother, when a judge
decided that he had legal standing to do so. The same judge
blocked the adoption procedures by George Russ, the teenager's
lawyer.
More and more, the argument of liberalism versus con-
servatism is being waged not in Congress, but in the commu-
nity. Children are being exploited for the sake of civil liberty
disputes or aged traditionalism in an evolving society.
This has been a year of thorough concentration on child
welfare. A rash of reports on parents leaving their children
"home alone" while they worked led to accusations of im-
proper child care. Later, stories of child deaths?due to acci-
dents while being left alone?led to an investigation of local
social services. These agencies were established under the
auspices of "checking up" on who may or may not be fit
parents. A Wisconsin agency has determined that children
must be a minimum of nine years old to be left alone at home.
The inevitable reaction of parents is to insure their pro-
priety by attempting to strengthen their legal basis of claim
and choice of upbringing. Hence the adoption controversies.
When does the welfare of the child conflict with the rights of
the parent? Which is more important? Should biology super-
sede psychological well-being? Such decisions should not be
left up to a judicial system influenced by the personal morals
of individual judges.
A Pennsylvania judge prohibited the adoption of a baby
by two adults who were not married, even though the child
had lived with them for years. This same judge decided nearly
a decade ago that a teenage girl could not abort the pregnancy
caused by rape by her mother's live-in boyfriend.
These are not cases to be left to the luck of the draw for
judge- availability; nor should they be left to the whim of that
judge, where personal morality may be imposed on the life of
a child and the parents who will raise himher.
Between the fight for abortion (choosing whether or not
to bear a child, the most basic of parental decisions) and
multicultural and sex educations (what the child will learn
and when), parents are on slippery legal ground. The emotion-
less rhetoric and jargon of dust-covered la wbooks should not
be able to stifle the changing face of the American family.
Neither can legal abstraction be put on the shoulders of
children for what amounts to social experiments. We tend to
make examples out of the worst possible incidents and use
them as bases for specific law. The results oftentimes are
obsolete regulations or impossibly-achieved agendas. They
may be fine for Congress or organizations but not inside the
most necessary of institutions: the home.
Stress begins to permeate all facets of modern life
Stress.
Oh, that wonderful word
that means so much, while being
spelled so little. That time in your
life when you start to look long-
ingly at co-worker's necks, all the
while thinking how easy it would
be to break them. The time when
walls seem to just cry out to be
punched, when doors are just beg-
ging to be slammed.
Of course, this also the time
when others thank God that there
is a five-day waiting period to
purchase machine guns in this
country.
Contrary to popular belief, a
person does not experience stress
in a job that they hate. Stress is
what happens when a person takes
on too much work or responsibil-
ity.
Now, who do you know
takes on more work in a job they
hate? Au contraire, mon fraire, a
person experiences stress ? or
that other lovely word, burnout
? when they work too much on a
job they love. Irony, what bitter
taste thou hast!
Stress can be dealt with in a
variety of ways. Some people lis-
ten to relaxing music, some take
short walks to clear their head.
Others may resort to masochistic
practices like exercise or self-flag-
ellation (whipping oneself ?
thank you, Mr. Webster). A per-
son will pretty much'do anything
? short of getting arrested or
physically harming someone ?
to rid that monkey that clings so
tightly. You know the one, your
friend and mine ? (drum roll,
please) STRESS!
How might I, your humble
and lowly editorial columnist, deal
with stress, you might ask? Well,
to be perfectly honest with you (as
all journalists are, of course ?
HAHAHAHAHA sorry, I'm
alright now), I write. Yes, you
heard me, I write. How does that
combat stress, you ask, O gentle
reader? Well, it takes a certain
mindset to relieve stress this way.
You have to have a peculiar qual-
ity about your person, you need
that ye nc sais auoi that elevates you
above the rest. That quality, that
extra little quirk, what is it? It's a
bird, it's a plane, no, it's SAR-
CASM!
A mild-mannered reporter
by day turns into a fighter of evil,
the costumed crusader ? SAR-
CASM. With his trusty sidekick,
Cynical Man, SARCASM (yes, it
has to be in caps) swoops through
the night bashing the heads of idi-
ots and dullards everywhere in a
constant battle against stupidity
and for common sense.

Humans misdirect their obsessions
I heard on the radio the
other day that the world is
overcrowded and that if
something isn't done about
it soon, we could be in for a
serious food shortage. We are
simply running out of farm-
land. Hearing this didn't re-
ally surprise me. I mean, I
see signs of overcrowding in
my own little corner of the
world every day.
For example, as I write,
my downstairs neighbor's
stereo is causing the floor be-
neath my feet to vibrate and
I am having violent thoughts
about storming down there
and hurling a brick at his
woofers and tweeters.
You see, there is more
at risk here than simply run-
ning out of Big Macs ana bar-
becue sometime in the near
future.
People have spatial
needs which differ from cul-
ture to culture. Allow me to
pontificate. Have you ever
been talking to someone and
suddenly you notice that
you're backing away from
them and they are moving
toward you and you feel sort
of suffocated? Americans
usually are uncomfortable
talking at less than an arm's
length from others.
If you're new on cam-
pus, see if you don't feel like
there are people breathing
down your neck as you hurry
to class. See how many times
someone steps on your heel
before you take off your shoe
and fling it at them.
I don't know how much
space is needed between
apartment dwellers, but I
feel certain that the guy
downstairs must be too
close. He's got every right to
play his music (even if it is
Jimmy Buffet), but when I
can hear it, it invades my
space and I get angry. What's
really at stake here is the
frightening fact that being
too close causes violent
thoughts.
Rats will kill each other
when they are not given
enough space and human
beings seem to be prone to
do the same thing. Inner city
violence seems to be related
to the tension that results
when humans must live too
close to one another.
American culture is in-
credibly afraid of decrease.
While population growth is
much more severe and prob-
lematic in countries other
than America, Americans
have a phobia about their
own mortality.
O.K so what does this
have to do with running out
of food? Maybe nothing, but
the human desire to keep
producing life got me think-
ing about our reactions, as
human beings, towards
death. Again, like space re-
quirements, feelings about
death are culturally influ-
enced.
American medical re-
search has eliminated rrvany
diseases that were once fafll
and improvements in our di-
ets and work conditions
have caused us to live longer.
Abortion, euthanasia and
suicide are met with increas-
ing moral opposition (heck,
there are people out there
that are so opposed to these
forms of "death" that they'll
kill doctors to save lives. I
find this a bit confusing, how
about you?).
On top of these medical
and moral debates, we learn
that death is sad; funerals are
a time to wear black and cry
and there is often a lot of
pain involved.
To make things more
frightening, various reli-
gions teach that if we're
good, we will be rewarded
after we die. But if we're bad,
we will burn for eternity.
Burning doesn't sound so
great and there seems to be a
lot of ambiguity about what
must be done to avoid it. Fear
of what happens after death
makes the subject taboo.
Finally, we are con-
stantly presented with our
own state of denial: we see
movie heroes that are inde-
structible; plastic surgery
keeps us from aging; athletes
become godlike as they tower
above us (and even fly).
We believe that we are
immortal, because it's too
hard to admit that in spite of
all of our accomplishments,
we will cease to exist and
none of us are sure about
what happens afterwards.
Perhaps it is necessary
to rethink our views about
death in order to deal with
the abundance of life that
may pose a threat to our ex-
istence. Life is dependent
upondeath and neither is less
valuable than the other.

Meditation
provides
needed escape
Life is moving too fast.
For just a minute, forget about get-
ting fat, irunimum wage, technology, ul-
cers and where you will be in ten years.
Instead, take time to relax. Think about
yourself andor yourself?that's right?
meditate. Meditation with all of the con-
fusion that surrounds it can be a per-
sonal and non-harmful escape from the
pressures of daily life and it requires
only 10 minutes of your day.
Ah, the smell of brand new official
ECU shirts and baseball caps. The smell
of fall in Greenville. Is it just me, or did
this fall form like a frozen pond sliding
under our feet? Summer is getting tired,
but it gave in too early this year.
Today, as I attempted to perform
my own 10-minute mental hacking, I
could not help but think about how fast
life is living us. Go to class, go home and
change clothes, go to work (it definitely
is not the Eighties), study, find time to
eat (but prepare the right foods), exer-
cise (the Surgeon General said it is im-
portant) and if you are lucky?sleep.
Today our society expects more from
our generation than any other genera-
tion. Our generation will also be the first
generation in American history to earn
less than our parents. They call us slack-
ers.
By meditation, I do not mean fly-
ing off to India and hiring a personal
guru. Nor do I want to form a 1-900-
yoga-friends-network. I use the word to
refer to mental health. Mental health is
just as important, if not more important,
than physical health. The best aspect of
meditation is that no one can tell you
how to do it.
Some people choose to pray, some
choose to find a quiet time and concen-
trate on their favorite place. Others
choose to sit, relax and not think about
anything. The only way to meditate cor-
rectly is to make yourself happy. Even if
you live in a dorm (a place where quiet
can not be domesticated), you can use
the time in the shower to meditate.
After all, the bathroom has always
been a sanctuary away from intense
thought and illusion. The sound of the,
water can even drown out some of the:
noise. Imagination will live longer than
rock-n-roll.
Technology is also moving too fast. -
It seems that now, more than ever,
everyone needs a computer, but I can't
afford one. Even if I could buy a com-
puter, no one can guarantee that it will
not be obsolete tomorrow.
Do I really want to see who I am
talking to on the phone? Will phone com-
panies take over the cable industry and
the world along with it? Will we have to
use virtual reality to feel human emotion
in the year 2050?
If you are thoroughly confused at.
this point, do not be. These ideas are
merely ideas that our generation will
have to deal with. All of this rolled into
this ball we call Earth can cause enough
stress to grow grey hair on a bowling
ball.
Until technology can develop a way
to soak the brain in lukewarm salt water,
I will spend my 10 minutes a day in my
own personal escape from the swift
spanking hand of stress.
They call us slackers.

A day of gloom instead
of triumph for NASA
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) ?
On a day that was supposed to
mark NASA's triumphant return
to Martian skies, gloomy scientists
worried about the fate of the silent
Mars Observer spacecraft and its
$980 million mission.
"We're obviously disap-
pointed, but we still haven't given
up hope completely said Bill
Boynton, a University of Arizona
planetary scientist in charge of one
of the unruly spacecraft's instru-
ments.
Mars Observer was to be the
first U.S. robot explorer to reach
Mars since 1976. Since its radio
transmissions stopped on Satur-
day, no one knew for sure if the
craft would fire its thrusters and
start orbiting the Red Planet as
scheduled this afternoon, or sim-
ply go whizzing past on an expen-
sive trip to oblivion.

I v student's situation
poses a dilemma Speier said.
'When you're in this job, you're
making a decision on somebody's
future.
It tears my heart out to have
to send somebody home from
school in a disciplinary way, but
one thing I tell them is that they can
almost always come back and
we'll be happy to take them back,
once they've met all the conditions
of re-enrollment, and they'll get a
tresh start Speier said.
"It's a disappointment, it's
very difficult, but I try to approach
it from a positive standpoint, and
that is that they just need time outof
here, thev need to fix what's wrong,
and here's what it takes to fix it from
our standpoint
Although such student inter-
action is discouraging for Speier, he
has had a great number of reward-
ing experiences, and he manages to
uphold a positive attitude.
"One of my real satisfactions
here has been working with the
Greek system. I think we've grown
a lot, matured a lot Speier said.
Speier takes pride in the fact
that the number of fraternities and
sororities at ECU has risen and that
the system offers something for ev-
eryone.
"We pay a lot of attention to
our African-American group orga-
nizations, and I think that's differ-
ent than it is on most campuses.
Ours is an emerged system, a very
positive system
Speier attributed thestudent
faculty conflict at UNC-Chapel Hill
to a lack of communication. Stu-
dents there are trying to have a
multi-cultural center built, and the
administration is refusing this re-
quest.
"What they have over there is
like a Texas Stand-Off Speier said.
"Every day I go out and work the
streets. I see students every day,
and that's importantbecause when
there's a problem I've got to find
those same students
Speier strongly believes that
such stalemates can be overcome
positively by maintaining open
communication lines, and working
at improving studentfaculty rela-
tions.
"One of the biggest miscon-
ceptions of our students is that they
can't go and ask the faculty ques-
tions,and they can'tapproach them
for advice and help, and I've found
tha t our facul tv are more often avail-
able than at other schools I've been
at Speier said.
Speier stressed that the stu-
dents need to take advantage of
their advisors because, for the most
part, they are more than willing to
assist.
Outside of busy office hours
and frequent visits to the Student
Stores, Speier enjoys spending the
majority of his time with his family.
Speier and his son are very
active in the sports card ("and only-
sports cards, we're not interested in
that other stuff) collecting and
trading business.
A game of golf usually in-
cludes Speier's son, as his wife is
less enthusiastic about the sport.
" Bu t we'd be willing to include her
Speier added.
Speier attended both the
Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia, and
the NC AA Basketball Tournament
in Winston-Salem with his son, but
their loyalties extend beyond the
big-name sports.
"We try to go to all the home
games we go to the non-revenue
sports functions because I see those
students, too Speier said.
Speier'scommitmenttosports
carries on to commitment to the
new recreation center planned for
the future.
Speier enthusiastically pulled
out a recent USA Today front-page
story to support the need for this rec
center.
The article unveiled a new sta-
tistic that students looking at col-
leges now list physical facilities as
their 3 priority.
"I think we need a new rec
center desperately Speier said.

going out looking at centers, and
everywhere we went they were just
maxed out; the students were
packed in.
"It's a social thing ? that's
important, for students to have a

Speier dismissed the conten-
tion that the new rec center will
pose a parking problem.
"I think we have a parking
problem whether we build the rec-
reational center or not Speier said.
"We have to address the parking
situation differently than we have
Another issue Speier hopes
ECU will focus on in the near future
is the condition of Joyner library, an
apparent source of strife for Speier.
"I think we desperately need
to do something about our library. I
think our library is woefully inad-
equate for a school a third of our

Speier said.
"I think the addition of the

we value Speier said a top-
notch library where students can
do research, and a fitness center
where students can be fit and pre-
pared to be better academically

of ECU'senvironment, and easily
described ECU as offeringa small
school atmosphere with big school
opportunities.

The East Carolinian 9
h
ECU chancellor prepared to take school into the future
Nsistan! News Editor
The business of higher edu-
cation is a big one. To adapt to a
society driven by economies, ev-
ery college and university in the
United States must attempt to
achieve a "bottom line" that can
keep the university strong and
allow it to build for the future.
This "bottom line" forces the
university system to adopt eco-
nomic standards not terribly un-
like those which govern large cor-
porations. And like those busi-
nesses, there must be a "CEO" to
keep close watch of the successes
and failures of the university en-
terprise, someone to deny its cred-
its and bear the responsibility of
its failures.
EastCarolina University has
such a person in its chancellor, Dr.
Richard Eakin.
In his sixth year at the top of
the EastCarolina mountain, Eakin
has been witness to a great num-
ber of changes in the university.
He has bore the pressures inher-
ent to his position, attempting to
solidify the interests of the uni-
versity while simultaneously wag-
ing a public relations war to rally
support for those interests. To
Eakin, it is all part of the job.
"Public relations is an im-
portant part of what I do Eakin
said. "I bear an important respon-
sibility to be a spokesperson for
this university
The site of Eakin's latest pub-
-tne-
n'ted to
ittlefield is the
siontoaddastate-
irt recreation center pur-
est approximately S18
million. Ground-breaking for this
facility isexpected totakeplaceas
early as September or October of
this year, and the decision to con-
struct this facility has generated a
wave of fury from some elements
of the university community.
This anger stems from the
loss of parking spaces construc-
tion will require as well as the
center's high price tag. However,
Eakin takes this all in stride, de-
fending the worth the facility will
have to the university when stu-
dents are able to take advantage
of the recreational opportunities
the building will offer. (Plans for
the center include a large indoor
track, fully-equipped Nautilus
weight center, aerobics rooms,
basketball courts, a massive pool
and a nutrition center.) Eakin said
that he understands the concern
and takes the initial backlash as
part of being chancellor.
"You probably don't take
this job unless you realize that
decisions will have to be made
where there will be people who
will be less than happy about it.
Thatjustcomes with the territory
If the chancellor is anything,
he is prepared. In defending him-
self against his detractors, Eakin
said that part of the center's plan-
ning phases included a strategy to
revamp the deplorable parking
decisions the university is plagued
with, and a strategy for dealing
with the center's consumption of
space. He said the university had
consulted an engineering group'
from the Research Triangle Park
in Raleigh regarding the efficient
use of all of ECU's available space.
Eakin said the group found
that a concentration on fringe
parking and converting to a "pe-
destrian campus" would help
solve the parking dilemma.
Fresh from the "persuasion
battles Eakin has his facts to-
gether and is quick to answer even
the most controversial questions
about university policy.
Got a question about the ris-
ing cost of North Carolina educa-
tion?
"North Carolina citizens do
a great service to students by do-
nating a large amount of tax dol-
lars to the state for education. Only
the state of Texas has a lower tu-
ition rate
How about the amount of
funding the university contributes
to athletics?
"ECU is a member of the
College Football Association, an
organization that represents 63
member institutions. These 63 in-
stitutions represent most of col-
lege football. As compared to these
institutions, we are in the very,
Chancellor Richard Eakin
very bottom as to what we spend
on our football program (by far
the most expensive athletic pro-
gram at this university). It is a
credit to this institution that we
have been able to compete like we
have with a relatively modestbud-
get
The quality of ECU educa-
tion?
"Of the 13 institutions avail-
able to receive new academic pro-
grams from the state of North
Carolina, ECU received exactly
one-fourth of themWe have also
improved our overall SAT score
bv 50 points andhave collaborated
with a very fine faculty. We have
moved a great deal along the aca-
demic spectrum in the last
decadeWe have made signifi-
cant strides to reinforce the qual-
ity dimension of this university
The most powerful ammu-
nition Eakin has in his public rela-
tions arsenal is the university's
new fundraising campaign
"Shared Visions This attempt to
raise $50 million by 1995 for cam-
pus renovation is Eakin's biggest
time-consumer. The campaign has
been a tremendous success in its
early stages, as over $27 million
has been raised. Should the cam-
paign be successful, its implemen-
tation will produce significant
changes to the university's appear-
ance and academic quality.
When Eakin discusses the
campaign, it is simple to see the
passion he has for the program.
His eyes seem to radiate a light
akin to the beaming of a four-
year-old who has found a red
fire truck under the Christmas
tree. Eakin is not shy about shar-
ing his optimism for the uni-
versity and the changes "Shared
Visions" will make.
"I'm incredibly proud of
this school and community
Eakin said. "We should all take
great pride in the way this uni-
versity has interacted with east-
ern North Carolina. This uni-
versity has served very well and
has made an outstanding effort
to do things to benefit this re-
gion.
"The most exciting thing
about being here is that this
university and this region has
an incredible capacity to better
itself. That's one of the things
that brought me here

Walt Whitman once said,

found this motto to bo true of
ECU'S Crime Prevention Pubik
Information Officer Keith Knov
As Knox talked of his 20-some
years of service in various police
and sheriff organizations, what
struck me the greatest is his ded i-
cation to the students and faculty
at ECU.
It is no surprise that Green-
ville residents are close to Knox's
heart. He was born in Pitt County
and raised in Robersonville, a
short drive north from Greenville.
In fact, Knox liked Pitt County so
much that he only spent a few
years away. Today, he, his wife
and three children live in
Winterville.
After Knox graduated from
Robersonville High School, he
began school at Pitt Technical In-
stitute (now Pitt Community Col-
lege). During his two years of
Police Science education at Pitt,
Knox was the Vice-President of
SGA, worked full-time and be-
came active in other student or-
ganizations.
When he was 18 years old,
Knox was sworn in as Deputy
Sheriff in Martin County, which
borders Pitt County. Knox left
his position in his hometown for
Wake County where he stayed
with the Sheriff's Department for
18 months. When opportunity
knocked, Knox was back in town
at theCity Council Identification
Bureau of GreenvillePitt
County. There, in 1975, he intro-
duced a "Rape Kit" toPittCounty
Memorial Hospital. According to
Knox, the kit was used to collect
physical evidence from victims.
Police officials liked the idea of

the kit because it standardized
their procedures during rape in-
vestigation.
Knox started the Crime Pre-
vention Program in Farmvi lie af-
ter leaving the GreenvillePitt
County Identification Bureau.
"Crime Prevention is the antici-
pation, recognition and appraisal
of a crime risk and the initiation
of some type of action to reduce
or eliminate that particular risk
Knox said.
Most crimes on campuses
and communities are crimes of
opportunity. In the crime triangle,
there is criminal intent, a victim
and an opportunity. By remov-
ing the opportunity, the crime
can be prevented from occurring.
"It is being pro-active and
not reactive to criminal activity
he said.
Knox showed concern over
our current incarceration proce-
dures where prison is no longer
seen as a threat because many
times it is more pleasant than

Shared Visions, Easl Carolina
I m ersirj 's $50 million fund-rais-
ing campaign, was given a tremen-
dous boost last week when the
Wachovia Corporation endowed
the institution with a $667,01X1 gift.
The corporation's endowment will
be matched by state funding to ere
ate a $1 million gift and to help
create a teachers' program at the
school.
Wachov ia s endowment is the
largest corporate gift to Shared Vi-
sions to date, and the program
implemented by their funding will
teach leadership skills to public
school teachers. The corporate gift
pushes the level of Shared Visions
funding over the i29 million mark.
Chancellor Richard Eakin said that
the funds would have a great effect
on North Carolina public schools.
"We are indebted to Wachovia
Bank for its farsightedness and its
willingness to make such a signifi-
cant investment in the young people
of North Carolina Eakin said.
Wachovia's regional vice
president, William C. Baggett, said
that his corporation had a commit-
ment to the future of North Caro-
lina schools in mind when the deci-
sion was made to grant the school's
endowment.
"Wachovia is committed to
improving the quality of education
in North Carolina he said. "We
have repeatedlv witnessed the value
of empowering front-line associates
through the development of lead-
ership skills. That experience at-
tracted ustoEastCarolina'steacher-
leader concept
The Shared Visionscampaign,
announced on March 20, had al-
ready acq uired over half the needed
funding before its public unveiling
and is moving steadily towards its
goal of $50 million by December
1995. The campaign aims to im-
prove every facet of campus life
including an addition to Joyner Li-
brary, improvements to ECU's
medical complex, expansion and
renovation of Ficklen Stadium and
Minges Coliseum, implementation
of merit-based scholarships and
graduate grants, and campus beau-
fification.
Eakin, in a June interview
about the campaign, said he was
encouraged by theGreenville's will-
ingness to improve itself and was
optimistic about the future of Shared
Visions.
"The most exciting thing
about being here is that this univer-
sity and this region has an incred-
iblecapacity tobetteritself hesaid.
"That's one of the things that

ago, Knox spent three ears
as the W LntervilleC hiei of Police.
l hen he came to ECU, Knn said
he wore three hats: c rime Pre-
vention Officer, Investigator and
Trainer. Today, ECU Police have
separated the three positions to
allow for more specialization.
While Knox was enthused by the
growth of the Crime Prevention
Program, he was discouraged by
the budget for the program. "I
have had tp obtain funds from
other places to get things accom-
plished he said. Although the
budget is limited, the funds have
covered a third of the university's
total lighting project and have
doubled the number of emer-
gency blue-lights on campus.
Knox spoke of several goals
he has for ECU. Included in his
goal, is a Residence Hall-Liaison
program where specific officers
will be assigned to residence halls
so the residents can get to know
their officers and feel comfort-
ith prob-
u ouid like t
rstt) become a one-card
us i ike Duke University,
ouid have a single com-
I ird which would be
? meal card, residence
hall ki and could be used to gain
. ess io buildings after hours (if
permissible).
I le showed some concern
over the large shrubbery on cam-
pus because it poses a security
problem. He also said he would
like the Beaurification Commit-
tee to take security into consider-
ation when devising landscape
plans.
We discussed the hazards
of his line of work and whether
he wanted to get out before it got
anymore dangerous. "No, I have
chosen this as my profession and
could make a lot more money
doing other things, but I feel I can
make the biggest contribution in
the area of Crime Prevention he
said. He added that over the years
he has been hurt while working.
WTe talked about the deci-
sion by the Football Safety Task
Force to ban kegs from all univer-
sity locations, including fields
where tailgating takes place.
Knoxsaidhewas the person who
instigated the ban because he has
seen the effects from students so-
cializing around kegs.
"The keg situation has
grown out of control to the point
where we were having numer-
ous fights almost every game, all
revolving around kegs Knox
said.
In addition to fighting, Knox
was concerned about alcohol poi-
soning because kegs promote con-
tinuous drinking.
"We won't have the 'buffet-
line'drinking, "he said. "The kegs
is I ike ana ll-you-can-drink situa-
tion He feels that banning kegs
would create additional trash
problems. We can always clean
up parking lots. We can't replace
lives
In addition to numerous
other organizations, he has been
a member of the Pitt County Law
Enforcement Officers Association
in 1986, was 1991 Law Enforce-
ment Officer of the Year, and in
August he will be installed into
the Board of Directors of the N.C.
Crime Prevention Officers Asso-
ciation. In his personal time, Knox
enjoys fishing and coaching com-
munity basketball
Knox says he is very con-
tent at ECU and plans to see his
goals for the university followed
through. "Right now, there are
some things I want to see happen
at ECU
Campus renovations continue into fall
By Richard Elkins
Staff Writer
The summer months at
ECU were a busy time for con-
struction and renovation crews
on campus. Numerous projects
were undertaken and completed,
while others continued on to-
wards completion.
"The summer period may
be slow for some on college cam-
puses, but here at East Carolina,
it's a busy time in preparing our
facilities for the following year
Vice Chancellor for Business Af-
fairs, Richard Brown said. Many
residence halls, unoccupied dur-
ing the summer, underwent
renovations, and several trans-
portation projects which re-
quired road closings inconve-
nienced fewer students than they
would have if they had been done
during the fall or spring.
One very noticeable
change on campus is the area
around Graham Hall, home of
the Department of Geology. Gra-
ham hall itself received a face lift
with cosmetic repairs done
mainly to the windows. The front
and sides were re-landscaped
with additional lighting and a
place for a clock paid for largely
by a donation from the senior
class of 1993.
The green barn between
the General Classroom Building
and Tenth Street was torn down
because it was an eyesore. Auto-
mobile repair operations were
moved to the Auto Repair Shop
of the old J.H. Rose High School.
The University is leasing these
facilities from the Pitt County
Schools for $1 per year.
The Wright Building's
Student Bookstore renovations
which were begun in the spring
were completed over the sum-
mer. Its last update was between
15 and 20 years ago.
The original section of
bleachers on the south side of
Ficklen Stadium was replaced
becauseof decay to the structure
which dates to approximately 30
years ago. The rest of the sta-
dium underwent cosmetic refur-
bishments. Total cost of stadium
repair was S2.2 million.
The culvert at the bot-
tom of College Hill Drive had to
be replaced over the summer af-
ter heavy rains last spring caused
the entire structure to be washed
away. This replacement has been
on the University's list of projects
for several years.
A new lot on Reade St. is
adding 157 new parking spaces.
Like other parking on Reade, ad-
jacent to downtown, this lot will
not be paved in the near future.
Todd Dining Hall on
College Hill continued construc-
tion over the summer, with the
current projected date for open-
ing being either the summer or

fall of next year. Plans had for-
merly been to have the facility
open by January.
Bidding has begun on
the renovation of Umstead and
Slay Residence Halls. The build-
ings will be linked to each other
providing handicap access to all
floors. The buildings will be air
conditioned and are scheduled
to reopen by Fall 1995.
According to Inez
Fridley, all of the residence halls
underwent or are about to soon
undergo some form of renova-
tion. Asbestos ceiling and floor
tiles were removed from four
residence halls. Aycock received
new pipe fittings to make clear-
ing them easier. More than 20,000
square yards of carpet were laid
down in hallways and rooms.
1,370 locks were replaced in
seven halls. Roofs on three high-
rises were weatherproofed, and
Clement's was replaced.
In total, over 5,000 new
pieces of furniture were placed
in the residence halls, and close
to $1.5 million was spent. Most
of the work was completed by
in-house maintenance crews and
student staff.
Projects were not only
completed on the University's
main campus, but also at the
School of Medicine Complex. A
new surface parking lot was
added to ease parking conges-
tion.

77f East Carolinian 13
ining hall namesake leaves legacy
fessor emeritus of histoiy al
for 27" years and an active mem-
ber of the Greenville community
tor 43 years held that position in
the hearts oi students, faculty,
family and friends.
Dr. "odd, who passed away
July IS, at 78, possessed charac-
teristics that individually might
be found in many people, but to-
gether, belong to a precious mi-
nority.
His unselfish concern for
others, his devotion to helping
whomever he could, and his ado-
ration for his family, especially
his wife, affectionately called
"Sweetheart" by family and close
friends, set Dr. Todd apart from
many.
Todd looked upon life and
people with an inspiring, genu-
ine optimism. Todd did not
merely shake your hand in greet-
ing, he welcomed you with a
heartv hug and more than one
encouraging, kind word.
I was privileged enough to
meet the Todds, and spent two
evenings talking with them about
their lives, his career and the spe-
cial bond they formed with ECU
students and faculty. The men
and women affiliated with Phi
Sigma Pi were especially dear to
the Todds. Todd held the honor
fraternity's faculty adviser posi-
tion for the entirety of his teach-
ing career at ECU.
This story is meant to pro-
file the man for whom the new
dining hall on College Hill Drive
is named, but the challenge is that
so many students will never have
the opportunity to meet him or
listen to him speak. He was filled
with life lessons from years of
experiencing life to the fullest.
When you meet a person
such as Dr. Todd, you tend to re-
evaluate vour own life and your
own priorities. Witnessing such
generosity and unselfish presence
invokes great ideas in people, in-
spires dreams that might be ful-
filled and coaxes bravery to try
new things.
Perhaps a mini-series could
adequately illustrate Dr. Todd's
accomplishments, goals and
dreams. He touched many stu-
dents' lives. In the four short
hours I spent listening to the
Todds reflect on the best and
worst times in their lives, I learned
a lesson about human potential,
the capabilities of generosity and
consideration that we can all con-

tion, but would lack their person-
alities, both beingvery individual
and strong.
Dr. Iodd's desire to help
others was born long before he
was financially capable to carry
out tiis dreams.
Born in 1 ancaster, Pa,Todd
grew up the youngest in a family
of 12 children. Taught to work
hard, 1 odd's high school accom-
plishments earned him a position
in the freshman class of
Millersville State University in
Pennsylvania. Quickly becoming
a basketball star, Todd admitted
he wondered when he had time
to pick up a book, but that whirl-
wind college life came to a som-
ber halt.
In his second year at
Millersville, Todd's father died.
Unable to pay the tuition, Todd
went to his basketball coach to let
him know that college was no
longer in his future.
That coach sat Todd down,
gave him a little talking to about
life lessons and moving on His
coach then found him a job ad-
equate enough in salary to keep
Todd dribbling up-court and
studying hard.
That experience stayed in
Todd's mind and he vowed to
himself that he would always re-
member how one person helped
him pursue an education, and that
one day he would offer that same
assistance to as many students as
he could.
Soon after that, Todd met
the woman he would one dav
many. One afternoon, young
Clauda Pennockand her brother,
on their way home, strolled by
the Todd residence. Young Dick
waved a hello, and commented
on the weather.
Sweetheart reflected: "I said
to my brother, Who is this fel-
low7' and my brother said, 'Oh,
that's Dick Todd ? everyone
knows him 'Well, I don't said,
'But I want to And that's how it
started.
The Todds shared the same
generous concern for others, and
made sure they followed with ac-
tion.
"We made a commitment

ing in his vintage desered me to

ers, Todd said.
"And we never forgot that
we just enjoy giving so much
Todd explained, "it's a joy. It's
just -o gratifying to see what you
can do with young people
The Todds always held the
utmost respect for each other, and
together made decisions that
would affect their lives, and ulti-
mately so many others.
While pursuing his Ph.D. at
Duke University, Todd received
an offer to become president at
another school.
" We had seen so many other
graduates leave their almost-
completed dissertations for posi-
tions at other schools, and al-
though they said they would re-
turn to finish, they never did
Sweetheart said.
The Todds decided to re-
main at Duke until Mr. Todd be-
came Dr. Todd. That decision left
them open to East Carolina Uni-
versity in 1950.
Refusing the life of a profes-
sor who would rarely see a class-
room in order to work at being
published. Dr. Todd eagerly ac-
cepted the professorship at ECU.
"I knew ECU would even-
tually grow and be such an im-
portant school Todd asserted,
and patting my knee added, "This
is what I wanted to work with
So the Todds became mem-
bers of the ECU community, at
first living in a dorm on campus
with eight other families and only
one bathroom!
"1 don't know how we all
could have become closer the
Todds laughed.
At that time, a tragedy oc-
curred that would forever change
the value of the Todds' loyalty to
the Greenville community.

nately, the hos
the needed blood, and Pr rodd 's
only chance to save his wife's life
was to approach his own stu-
dents, and hope that someone
would donate blood.
What transpired was
termed by one hospital nurse as
the most exciting thing to ever
happen at the Greenville hospi-
tal.
"Students stretched from
5th Street down to the old hospi-
tal off of 3rd Todd remembered,
as tears filled his eyes. ECU stu-
dents saved Sweetheart's life, and
this was a deed not soon to be
forgotten.
Denied their own children,
the Todds immediately adopted
the ECU students as their own, as
well as the Greenville commu-
nity that had given them so much.
"I have always tried, in my
own mind's eye, to bring us closer
together as a family Todd said.
Family is what the group quickly
became.
Teaching led to Todd's po-
sition as faculty adviser for the
Tau chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi
honor fraternity, and the Todds
wholeheartedly delved into the
task of surrounding their lives
with the lives of ECU students.
In 1977, Sweetheart became
the first woman in the nation to
be initiated as a member of Phi
Sigma Pi.
"We held a rninimum of two
meetings a month in our home
rid in due time girls
dthi cture. Always, two-
the way through the
ing, there would be a rap at
the kitchen door
Whoever sat closest to the
door would open it to
Sweetheart's apple pie a la mode,
cherry pie or special fudge pie.
"Anything I made, they
liked Sweetheart beamed.
"Yes, those kids were
smart Todd laughed. "Smart,
smart kids mmammmmmmm
"It's been a good
life he said quietly.
"I'm just so sorry it's
coming to an end
The
Todds were
equally
popular
with their
family and
friends from
home in
Pennsylva-
nia, and of-
ten joked
that a sign ??????i??????
reading 'This Way to the Todds
hung at both the Rocky Mount
and Wilson turn-offs.
"Families showed up all the
time Sweetheart said and
stayed until they were tired of
us
No one ever found them-
selves turned away from the
Todds' front door, and rarely was
their front stoop vacant of stu-
dents, faculty, and neighbors
stopping by to say hello.
Devoted to those students,
Dr. Todd remained firm in his
opinion of just how professors
should treat their positions, and
wi 11 inglv offered them strong ad-
vice.
"If you don't like the chil-
dren, and you don't want to teach
them, get off the campus. You
don't belong here Todd em-
phatically insisted.
"So many of the professors
didn't want students to contact
them, call them at home
Sweetheart said with an aston-
ished tone.
"We are a fast-moving Uni-
HHMHH e r s i t y , "
Todd said
proudly.
"There are a
lot of good
people, and if
you look for
the best in
people, you'll
get the best
out of them
Indeed,
he Greenville
Dr. Richard Cecil Todd
community received the best of
everything from the Todds. No
task appeared too big, no obstacle
in the path of any student too
monstrous for the couple to help
in some way.
Responding to the Todds'
years of strife and service, ECU
honored the couple in several
ways.
In 1976 the Richard Cecil
Todd, Phi Alpha Theta Room,
with a portrait, was dedicated by
the Phi Alpha Theta International
Honor Society in History. The
room is located in the D wing of
the Brewster Building.
In 1977 the Richard Cecil
Todd , East Carolina University
Flag Pole, with a marble marker,
was presented and dedicated by
friends and members of the Tau
Chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi Na-
tional Honor Fraternity.
On October 15,1992, ground
was broken for the new Richard
Cecil Todd and Clauda Pennock
Todd Dining Hall on College Hill
drive. .
Dr. Todd last traveled to
Millersville State University for
the naming of a new Admissions
Building in honor of Dr. and Mrs.
Todd.
Watching Greenville and
the ECU campus transform into a
developed city surrounding a
full-fledged University brought
great pride to the couple, al-
though in some ways they missed
the simpler way things used to
be, when people took more time
to share their lives with others,
but this hardly dimmed the glow
in Dr. Todd's eyes as he remi-
nisced.
"It's been a good life he
said quietly. "I'm just so sorry it's
coming to an end Touching
thousands of lives throughout his
lifetime, his focus on students
never faltered, and he missed onlv
four days from his 27-year teach-
ing career.
Dr. Todd's fantasy world?
"A community filled with love
but let everyone do their own
thing, regardless of color, race,
creed, gender
The Todds' commitment to
student lives on through the Ri-
chard Cecil Todd and Clauda
Pennock Todd Endowment, which
the couple established for ECU in
1984. Ultimately, this endowment
will contribute to every aspect of
ECU's curriculum, and will gen-
erate a minimum of $1 million
each year.
Dr. Todd's death came as a
shock to many, and the empti-
ness will be felt across the cam-
pus, across the city and down the
east coast for many long days
to come. While a memorial ser-
vice held July 21, 1993
prompted an opportunity for
many to express their love and
appreciation for all that Dr.
Todd added to each life, Dr.
Todd's life and work will far
outlive the memories of fond
words.
"The best thing a teacher
can do is be a role model Todd
said. "A positive role model to
encourage and inspire, and
show interest ? sincere inter-
est, and they will go far. And
they'll never forget you
Truly, we will never for-
get. As this story goes to print,
Sweetheart remains hospital-
ized at Pitt County Memorial
Hospital with a broken collar
bone, after a recent fall. Our
best wishes and hopes for a
quick recovery are with her.

The East Carolinian 15
Troops sent to Somalia
Ihe
Clinton administration is sending
at least 400 additional American
membersofaneliteranger
unit, into Somalia to reinforce L S.
troops there, administration officials
say
A defense official said late
Monday the soldiers from the
Armv's75th Ranger Regiment were
being sent to help deal with "the
level of violence in Mogadishu" af-
ter three separate attacks on U.S.
soldiers this month and an attack
on a U.S. troop convoy Sunday.
A mine exploded beneath a
truck carrying American soldiers,
but none of the six was seriously
injured, officials said.
The troop reinforcement sym-
bolizes the dramatic change in the
U.S. military's role in recent months
as fightingbetweenU.N. forces and
a Somali warlord has persisted in
the East African nation's capital.
Last week, U.N. Secretary
General Boutros Boutros-Ghali re-
quested 3,000 more troops for So-
malia and vowed to press military
operations to disarm fugitive So-
mali warlord Mohamed Farrah
Aidid.
The Army rangers join a 1,200-
member U.S. quick-response force
that is under U.S. command in So-
malia.
There also are 4,000 Ameri-
can support troops under U.N. com-
mand in the country.
Administration officials,
speaking on the condition of ano-
nvmitv said the additional rangers
would be sent later this week.
One official, who spoke on
the condition of anonymity, denied
that the additional troops were be-
ing deployed asa result of Sunday's
incident, saying the decision to send
the troops had been in the works for
several weeks.
The decision to send more
troops is likely to draw fire from
congressional critics of President
Clinton's policy in Somalia.
Senate Minority Leader Bob
Dole, R-Kan has said it may be
time to reassess the U.S. role there,
and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va the
Appropriations Committee chair-
man, last month called for with-
drawal of U.S. troops from Somalia.
When thousands of Ameri-
can troops landed in Somalia last
Dec. 9 as part of "Restore Hope it
was for humanitarian assistance.
The Pentagon stressed their
job was to secure relief supplies to
feed the starving nation and get out.
Care was taken to avoid military
confrontations.
The U.S. contingent grew to
nearly 26,000 in mid-January, but
by early May most of the Ameri-
cans had departed and all.N. force
took over officially.
Since then Aidid's forces have
waged a series of hit-and-run am-
bushes against U.N. troops, often
appearing to target Americans.
At least 39 U.N. soldiers, in-
cluding four Americans, have been
killed and more than 165 wounded.

Bosnian Muslims and Croats learn to share a room
SPLIT, Croatia (AP) ?
Bosnian Croats and Muslims, al-
lies turned foes, are having trouble
sharing a country. In this Adriatic
city's main hospital, far from the
frontlines, their wounded are
learning how to share a room.
Asim Fetic and Elmin G. are
Muslims wounded by Muslim fire
while digging trenches for Croat
captors.
Their roommates, Naned
Rajic and Stipe M are Croats
wounded when Muslim forces
took over part of central Bosnia.
Like many in war-torn
former Yugoslavia, they were re-
luctant to give their full names.
Hospital director Goran
Dodig proudly stressed that there
is no ethnic discrimination in his
hospital, which he said at one point
housed 70 percent Muslim pa-
tients.
There was clearly bitterness
in the ethnically mixed rooms. The
Croats were especially upset over
what they perceive as intema tional
indifference to the plight of tens of
thousands of Croats pressed for
months by government forces in
central Bosnia.
The Muslims "lie here with
us, and our people are suffering in
central Bosnia because Muslims
do not want to allow anyone to
help them said Rajic, who was
wounded in fighting near his na-
tive Kiseljak.
Rajic was one of some 30
Bosnian Croat patients who were
on their fourth day of a hunger
strike aimed at pressing interna-
tional organizations to evacuate
wounded Croats from central
Bosnia.
"I can stand being without
food said Rajic, 26. "In central
Bosnia, Croats are (also) forced to
live withoutfood and needed medi-
cal treatment by a Muslim siege
The tension in the hospital
room reflects the about-face by
Bosnia's Croats, who until recent
months were allied with Muslims
in opposing Bosnian Serb plans to
create a "Greater Serbia" at the
expense of both Croatia and Bosnia.
Now Bosnia's Croats, sup-
ported by Croatia, favor the ethnic
division of the republic sought by
the Serbs.
World attention is focused
on Muslim suffering in the south-
western Bosnian city of Mostar,
which the Bosnian Croats want as
the capital of their mini-state.

two months are in desperate straits,
and the United Nations is pressing
the Croats to allow aid convoys
through.
The Croa ts here claim an even
greater number of their people are
at the mercy of government forces
in central Bosnia.
Wi th the shock of war behind
them, somecivility appeared. Rajic,
attempting to help Elmin G. get
out ofbed, explained, almost apolo-
getically, "He's Muslim, but
wounded is wounded
Most thoughts appeared to
dwell on past wrongs.
Elmin, who lived all his 23
years in Mostar, recalled how he
was captured in June by Croat
forces who said they were protect-
ing him from vigilante attacks by
individual Croats.
He was wounded by Mus-
lim schrapnel while being forced
to dig trenches for the Croats in
Mostar. The long time needed
for recovery "suits me, because I
do not know what to do after-
ward he said.
Fetic, 44, wounded under
similar circumstances in central
Bosnia, said he understands why
fellow Muslims shot him despite
being aware of the situation: "We
were fortifying Croat positions,
which(theMuslims)didnotwant
? this is the war
Stipe M 30, who surren-
dered to Muslim troops after be-
ing wounded four months ago,
said he saw prisoners being
beaten and taken to work on the
frontlines by Muslims, too.

Militaiy drinking remains high
failed, iind alcohol abuse remains
a serious problem, says a studv
of American service personnel.
The prevalence of heavy
d nnking is down to about 15 per-
cent from 22 percent in 1980. But
virtuallv all of the drop is due to
an influx of older, better-edu-
cated recruits who are more
likely to be married, said Robert
Bray, who directed the research
project for the Pentagon.
Such people are less prone
to heavy drinking, he said. Once
their impact is removed, heavy
drinking rates stayed almost the
same since 1980, he said.
Heavy drinking was de-
fined as having five or more
drinks on a single occasion at
least once a week during the prior
30 days.
Bray, of the Research Tri-
angle Institute in Research Tri-
angle Park, N.C presented the
work Monday at the annual
meeting of the American Psy-
chological Association with col-
leagues from the institute and
Brandeis University in Waltham,
Mass.
The data shows th mili-
tar) has been unsuccessful in
fighting heavy drinking, said
Cmdr. Ralph Balls, senior policy
analyst for alcoholism and men-
tal health issues in the on. :e of
the assistant secretary of defense
for health affairs.
"Where we're at right now
is getting military leadership
aware of this continuing prob-
lem, so we can then devise more
specific intervention programs"
targeting heavv drinkers, he
added in an interview.
The new study included
16,395 active duty personnel
serving around the world who
filled out anonvmous question-
naires in April and May of 1992.
Participants were chosen to give
a representative sample of per-
sonnel in the Army, Navy, Ma-
rine Corps and Air Force.
Results were compared
with the outcome of similar stud-
ies done in 1980,1982,1985 and
1988.
The new study found 7.6
percent of personnel had experi-
enced serious consequences of
heavy drinking within the prior
year. These included being court-
martialed, kept of f duty at least a
week because of illness, hurt in
an accident or arrested for driv-
ing while intoxicated.
The number was down
from 17.3 percent in 1980, said
James Luckey of the institute.
In addition, 16.4 percent of
personnel said their job perfor-
mance had suffered because of
alcohol, down from 26.7 percent
in 1980.
The military rate of heavy
drinking could not be compared
directly with civilian rates be-
cause of differences in demo-
graphic makeup between the two
populations.
But when statistical analy-
sis was done to take that into
account, heavy drinking by per-
sonnel stationed in the United
States was shown to be substan-
tially higher than the corre-
sponding figure for civilians,
said Mary Ellen Marsden of
Brandeis.
The overall study also
found that rates of illicit drug
use in the military within the
preceding 30 days had fallen to
about 3 percent from 27 percent
in 1980. Smoking rates had de-
creased to around 35 percent
from 51 percent in 1980.
Schools face dismissal from loan
Overall defaults decreasing because of tough collection methods
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
More than 900 colleges and trade
schools stand to lose their eligibil-
ity to participate in the federal stu-
dent loan program because too
many of their students have de-
faulted.
The Education Department
was releasing figures today show-
ing the default rates for every school
in the United States that partici-
pates in the Federal Family Educa-
tion Loan program, formerly called
the Guaranteed Student Loan pro-
gram.
Most of the schools in danger
of losing their eligibility are one-or
two-year, profit-making career
schools. They commonly have
much higher default rates than
more traditional academic institu-
tions.
The Education Department,
armed with a 1989 law designed to
drivedown the numberof defaults,
has been dropping schools with
default rates of at least 30 percent
for three consecutive years from
federal aid programs, including the
Pell Grant program. The cutoff de-
fault rate drops to 25 percent next
year.
In 1991, taxpayers lost an es-
timated $3.6 billion on bad student
loans.
The department announced
last month that overall default rates
were decreasing because of the
tougher collection methods.
The number of defaults de-
clined from 22.4 percent in the 1990
fiscal year to 17.5 percent in 1991,
the latest year for which figures are
available.
Last year,about 1,000 schools
were handed sur oensions, which
can last a year or more depending
on the school's corrective actions.
The government bases a
school's default rate for a particu-
lar year on the number of borrow-
ers scheduled to begin paying on
their loans who defaulted either in
that year or the following year.
Students apply for loans
through the schools, which verify
the student's eligibility.
The government pays the in-
terest on the loan while the student
is in school. If the student defaults,
one of 47 guarantor agencies re-
pays the lender and then tries to
collect. If they are unsuccessful, the
government pays off the loan.
Schools, faced with the loss
of a major ? sometimes primary
? source of revenue, have been
using collection agencies to go af-
ter the delinquents.
It is the stuffing of history
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
What Is Past Is Prologue says the
chiseled legend at the National
Archives, which received some
800,000 pages of documents on the
assassination of John F. Kennedy,
thanks la "gely to the exertions of
film maker Oliver Stone.
Maybe so, but in this case
what is past is prologue to a whole
lot more bewilderment on the who-
killed-KennedyquestionthatStone
answered his way and that others
answer other ways.
Primarily as a result of Stone's
sensational movie, "JFK and the
theory it propounded ? that
Kennedy's killing in 1963 was gen-
erated by a massive conspiracy
within the U.S. government ?
Congress passed the JFK Assassi-
nation Records Collection Act of
1992.
The law requires every gov-
ernment agency with a relevant
scrap of paper to ship it to the
Archives building on Pennsylva-
nia Avenue, excepting only those
needed to conceal the identities of
intelligence agents or sources.
At first glance, what was re-
leased Monday, in a chilly research
room filled with 90 assassination
buffs, historians, tourists and jour-
nalists, was unlikely to change
many minds or shed much light.
If, going in, you believed that
the murder was the work of the
CIA, or the Mafia, or the Team-
sters, or Fidel Castro, or the Mar-
tians, your belief would not be
shaken by this new salvo of raw
material.
If you thought that a psy-
chopathic Lee Harvey Oswald,
acting alone on instruction of his
inner voices, killed Kennedy, you
will find here no reason to think
otherwise.
The Archives got a hodge-
podge.
Here was a biographical
sketch of Oswald's mother. Here
was a CIA analysis of Soviet press
reaction to the shooting. Here

Murder suspect
kills himself
one uj art him-
; in the head, a hospital spokes-
woman said
The airman, Douglas Albert
Terek, 24, died at Pitt Memorial
Hospital in Greenville. He shot
himself in the side of his head with
a .22-caliber handgun Monday as
officers tried to arrest him, police
said.
Terek is the only suspect in
the death of Michelle L. Terek, 21,
Maj.J.M. Warrickof the Goldsboro
Police Department said Monday.
Warrick described the case
as "the worst I've seen in 25 years
Mrs. Terek's remains were
found in several garbage bags
stuffed inside the refrigerator of
the couple's duplex at the Air Force
base, said Goldsboro Police Chief
Chester Hill. Her body was sent to
the state medical examiner's office
in Chapel Hill, but the cause of
death was not disclosed.
Police said they found a three-
page letter describing some of the
events surrounding the dea th taped
to the refrigerator door after base
police received a call Sunday night
from a man they believe to be Terek.
"He directed them to his on-
base residence and told them his
wife's body would be in the
kitchen said Maj. Wes Davis, the
base public affairs officer.
Police say the Tereks were
last seen together Saturday night

Mill -aid the reader
tkiy and apparently had beencare-
tuilv cleaned after the body was
dismembered. Police found some
knives that might have been used
in the dismemberment, Warrick
said.
Local police and sheriff's
deputies began looking for Terek
shortly after discovering his wife's
body. The airman called base po-
lice Monday morning and arranged
to meet officers, Davis said.
Base investigators, citv po-
lice and Wayne County sheriff's
deputies metTerekatthearranged
site on U.S. 70 at Walnut Creek,
about 10 miles east of Goldsboro,
Davis said.
Terek was sitting in his
parked pick-up truck when offic-
ers arrived.
After a depu ty told Terek him
to put his hands out the window,
"he took his pistol and shot him-
self in the head Warrick said.
The Tereks were from Norti i
Huntingdon, Pa and had moved
to Goldsboro from Texas, Hill said.
Terek was a maintenance
specialist with 344th Air Refueling
Squadron. He does not have a
criminal record and there is no in-
dication the Tereks had a historv of
domestic problems, Warrick said.
Warrick said shooting deaths
on the Air Force base are so rare he
can't remember the last one.

Hogs infect workers
NTON.NX P)?MosJ
? orkers w ho slaughter pit;s

? have been exposed to a rare
- thata mies from freshly killed
animals, federal health investiga-
tors said.
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol hasalso informed 47workersat
the "kill floor" of Lundy's Packing
that blood tests indicate they may
have contracted brucellosis, 77k
XcrcscVO'SiVi'tTof Raleigh reported
yesterday. The illness causes se-
vere flu-like symptoms that can lin-
ger for years.
In all, 129 of the 156 slaughter-
floor workers have been exposed to
the brucellosis bacteria, the CDC
said. The study is continuing.
The state previously had iden-
tified 23 Lundy workers diagnosed
withthediseasesincejanuary 1992.
Those cases alone made up nearly
one-third of the swine brucellosis
case reported nationwide during
that time.
"The brucellosis occurring
among the workers at Lundy's is
unfortunatesaid Lee Hunter,state
public health veterinarian. "We are
doing our absolute best to try and
stop this
Lundy's president, Annabelle
Fetterman, was unavailable for com-
ment Monday. She has said she is
cooperating with investigators, but
that she could not fill her orders if
she had to limit her buying to herds
certified as brucellosis-free.
The A ttomey General's office
has begun investigating whether
the state can force the huge pig
slaughtering opera tion to takestron-
ger steps to protect employees, the
newspaper reported.
A state Department of Labor
investigation into possible viola-
tions of worker safety laws also is
under way.
Officials of a union trying to
organize the plant have faulted the
state for failing to take stronger ac-
tion against Lundy's. The possible
new cases detected by the CDC
prove the disease was not the result
of an isolated shipment of infected
hogs, said Jackie .Nowell of the
United Food and Commercial
Workers Union.
"They continue to slaughter
infected hogs she said. "This is
notjusta bad batch of hogs from last
summer
The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture is trying to determine why
so many cases of the illness have
turned up at the plant, which pro-
cesses 8,000 animals each day.
In June, staff members from
the CDC's National Institute for
OccupationalSafetyand Health vis-
ited Clinton and took blood samples
from slaughter-floor workers, said
Douglas Trout, a CDC investigator
in charge of the study.
The blood tests, which are not
100 percent conclusive, indicated
that 129 of the workers had been
exposed to the brucellosis bacteria.
Not everyone who is exposed de-
velops the illness, Trout said.
"Some people will beexposed
and not get it he said. "Some
people will be exposed to a lesser
extent and get it
The agency notified the ex-
posed workers last week and sug-
gested that they seeadoctar togeta
definitive diagnosis, Trout said.
Prosecutor alleges murder
planned for profit
GREENSBORO (AP) ? A
prosecutor depicted a Gaston fit-
ness entrepreneur as a ruthless
businessman who grew para-
noid, then lethal, during a
struggle for control of a sports
drink.
"This defendant coldlv
planned, carried through and
collected on this diabolical
scheme Prosecutor Rick Glaser
told a federal jury Monday.
Joey Caldwell planned the
murder of the man who bought
his business with "diabolical"
precision, Glaser said on the
opening day of the trial.
Glaser said Caldwell
waited until the second of two
"key man" life insurance poli-
cies worth a total of $2 million
kicked in, then drove to Ham-
let and shot Maceo McEachern
and his 83-year-old mother
Vela to death.
The money went to pay
off court judgments against a
business owned by Caldwell
and his wife and to start a
new company, Nutrin Labs,

Prosecutors won a key stra-
tegic victory Monday when U.S.
District Judge William Osteen
ruled that Joey Caldwell
couldn't block his wife from tes-
tifying.
Knowing that she is the key
to the case, authorities decided
against charging her husband
with murder.
Murder cases are almost
always tried in state courts, and
under state law, spouses usu-
ally can prevent each other from
testifying.
In federal courts, there is
pulsion Laboratory have worked
around-the-clock trying to raise
Mars Observer. They sent new
computer commands telling it to
switch to a backup clock and make
suie its antennas were hooked up
and pointed the right way, among
other things. Attempt after attempt
failed.
Nobody really could be cer-
tain that the spacecraft even ex-
isted.
The loss of contact started as
the fuel tanks were being pressur-
ized, and there was a possibility
they might have blown up. Project
manager Glenn Cunningham
called that higrV orst-
case scenario.
"We go on the presumption
these kinds of problems are caused
by simple little things, probably
not a whole conglomeration of ex-
otic problems, but one simple little
problem Cunningham said.
"What we need to do is figure out
what that simple little problem is
If the spacecraft is lost, it
"would be a greatblow to the plan-
etary science community he said.
Also Monday, controllers at
the National Oceanic and Atmo
spheric Administration were try-
ing to re-establish contact with the
nation's newest weather satellite.
The satellite was launched Aug. 9
and had worked fine until commu-
nication was lost Saturday, offi-
cials said. Two older weather satel-
lites remain in operation.
Mars Observer was launched
Sept. 25 to start its 11-month, 450-
million-mile voyage. It was de-
signed to give scientists their best
look yet at the terrain, seasonal
change and weather on a planet
that has long inspired human
imagination.
Boynton tried to find a bright
side to the possibility of mission
failure.
"People should realize the
reason NASA spends nearly $1 bil-
lion for a mission like this is not just
so I can understand what Mars is
made of, but to develop technol-

taking at least 687 Earth days, or
one Martian year, to study the
planet.
Four U .S. Mariner spacecraft
reached Mars in the 1960s and
1970s. Two others failed, as did
most of the 15 to 17 Soviet Mars
missions. Twin Viking orbiters

landing craft to the red-orange sur-
face, where they scooped up soil
but failed to find life.

an exception to that rule ? if the
spouses were involved in a con-
spiracy together, one can't be
stopped from testifying about
their joint involvement.
Eecause of that difference,
Caldvvell was charged with
breaking federal laws, includ-
ing six counts of mail fraud, two
weapons charges, one count of
obstructingjusticeand 50counts
of money laundering.
That's enough to send
Caldwell to prison for the rest
of his life, if he is convicted.

Muslims established a bridgehead
there last month.
U.N. peacekeepers who
reached the Muslim area Satur-
day said residents were on the
verge of starvation and hospital
conditions were desperate.
Some operations were being
performed without anesthesia,
and 60 percent of the buildings
were uninhabitable, they said.
Croats and Muslims each
made up some 42 percent of
Mostar's pre-war population of
130,000, and lived in peace. They
united earlier this year to oppose
E . ' n Serbs, but their alliance
disintegrated a few months ago.
Bosnia's Croats want Mostar
to be the capital of a Croat-domi-
nated republic. Fighting between
the city's Muslim and Croat com-
munities broke out in May.
There were different ac-
counts of fighting Monday be-
tween Muslims and Croats in
Mostar.
The Belgrade-based Tanjug
news agency, citing reports by Serb
commanders on hills around the
city, said heavy fighting raged,
and many buildings were on fire.

New Batman comic grips uncertain future
By Cliff Coffey
DC Comics
unveiled the
new Batman
costume last
week, finishing
lhe21 -part
storyline called
"Knightfall
Staff Writer
DC Comics pulled off a mar-
keting gem last year by killing
Superman. This year's DCs sales
tactic includes a revamping of
Batman.
DC started its rumors of "kill-
ing" Batman on the heels of the
death of the Man of Steel in Feb-
ruary. In April, the "Knightfall"
story line was started in the pages
of Batman and Detective Comics.
The final is-
his arch enemies. Bane, a new
nemesis for the Dark Knight, freed
Batman's foes from their prison
in Arkham Asylum, including the
Joker, the Riddler, Killer Croc,
Zsasz, Two-Face, Firebug, Scare-
crow, Scarface and the Mad Hat-
ter. Batman felt that it was his
responsibility to bring the crimi-
nals back into police custody, and
so he did, without ever stopping
for a break. This resulted in a
very tired Bruce Wayne. That's
when Bane decided to face
Batman.

sue of
"Knightfall"
was said to
be Batman
500, with 21
parts in be-
tween.
Like the
Superman
story, the
Batman
story
started with
little interest, but now that it only
has a two issues left it has a lot of
momentum and everybody that
became a Batman fan after seeing
the movie (then losing interest in
Batman after the second movie)
is once again a fan.
The story so far has carried
Batman through many battles of

Batman 497. This issue is only a
month old, but is bringing in a
$10?$15 dollar price tag. Earlier
issues in the "Knightfall" story-
range from $15?$4.
So, is DC going to kill
Batman? NO. That'd be too
"trendy They like the contro-
versy, but they don't want to kill
Bruce Wayne off. DC wants to
bring in a new Batman, Valley.
Jean Paul was introduced a year
ago in a Batman related limited
series called Batman: Sxvord of
Azreal. Vally is Azreal, who is
going to debut as the new
Batman wi th a new Batman cos-
tume in Batman 500. The Sword
of Azreal issues (there are four)
can cost $50?$65 dollars now,
once Vally becomes Batman, the
price could double.
Azreal will mix his costu me
with Batman's for a new cos-
tume. Both Azreal's and the
new Batman suit were designed
by Joe Quesada, artist on the
Azreal limited series.
This is the first time the
Dark Knight's costume has
been radically changed, ever.
What the future holds for
Gotham's newest guardian is
uncertain, what will happen to
Bruce Wayne is anybody's
guess, how the new Batman
will interact with Robin is an-
other of the unanswerable
questions that will be asked.
The answers will come in fu-
ture issues of Batman, snudow

Porno for Pyros charms Raleigh
By Julie Totten
Lifestyle Editor
Around 9:45, the lights went out
and the fireworks began (literally).
Sparkles skidded across the stage
and yellow lights came up on Porno
for Pyros.
the show began on a theatrical
note with a ballerina dancing around
to the tune " Orgasm " and Civic Cen-
ter security going absolutely crazy.
For the rest of the show, Perry
(vocals), Peter DiStefano (guitars),
Martvn Le Noble (bass), and Stephen
Perkins (drums), bombarded theau-
dience with smiles, dancing and the
sound of alternative music (from an
essential creator).
The band shows their political
views through their music, but it is
essential to see Perry and the
showgirls and guys to fully under-
stand.
"Cursed Female the fourth cut
of their CD, was reenacted by two of
the showgirls. They were up on a
platform in thong lingerie, touching
and seductivly dancing around one
another. The band does not use this
tacticinadistasteful way, it's used as
a slice of reality.
Farell would probably be the
nrstto tell anyone how he teelsabout
homosexuality and interracial rela-
tionships.
The live show created an atmo-
sphere of tolerance and a little un-
derstanding on the part of all hu-
manity.
About halfway through the
show, I noticed about a fourth of the
crowd was not really moving (in-
cluding myself). 1 looked around
and all I could do was smile.
So many people were com-
pletely in awe
"You know I think Perry Farell
looked each and every one of us in
the eves tonight. It doesn' t seem hu-
manly possible, but somehow I think
it is. I was very touched said
Catherine Whiticker, a UNC gradu-
ate.
The intro to "Black Girlfriend"
was vocally delivered by Perry. He
began his little "talk" by explaining
that it hasn't been "that long since
the black man wasn't free in
America
A strange silence filled the Civic
Center, and he went on, "But you
know that's one of the beautiful
thingsabout thiscountry. Wechange
things. The world follows us. Ablack
man and a white woman can be
together nowand they make the
most beautiful children. The world
will change? America will lead
Wow.
Not even two seconds after he
finished talking, the song began and
he dug into the first three lines with
"Farrell passion "Ever since the

The encore performance of
"Porno for Pyros" left the audience
hungering for more and more and
more.
One showgirl breathed fire and
tossed around burning sticks. Fire-
works began shooting off again and
Perry frantically jumped all around
the band.
After four minutes of giddy
chaos, they said "goodnight" and
took their well deserved bows. On

'Heart and Souls' creates mini treasure
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
Heart and Souls, the newest film
by director Ron Underwood City
Slickers), exemplifies the better as-
pects of Hollywood.
Like It's a Wonderful Life and
Heaven Can Wait, this supernatural
melodramatic comedy blends sly
humor with grand moments of
emotional power. If these moments
seem just slightly too coincidental
and contrived, it could hamper the
emotional payoff in most films but
in a drama like Heart and Souls,
these moments add a certain
charming touch. After all, the oc-
currences are supposedly guided
by a divine hand so that even the
most improbable circumstances
can be rationalized.
Heart and Souls begins with a
survey of five lives, four of which
are about to end and one which is
set to begin. Thomas Reilly is born
in a car only minutes after a bus
crashes in front of it. The bus crash
ends the lives of four people before
they were slated to die.
Harrison Winslow (Charles
Grodin) aspires to sing profession-
ally, yet he gets stage fright when-
ever he confronts a listening audi-
ence.
Julia (Kyra Sedgewick)
struggles with a critical decision:
She enjoys living and working in
the city yet, she loves a man whose
only desire is to own a ranch.
Penny (Alfre Woodard) works
tirelessly to raise three children
single-handedly while working
nights as an operator.
Milo (Tom Sizemore) steals for
two-bit hoods, yet he feels com-
pelled to go straight after he steals
valuable stamps from a child.
Each of the four victims leaves
unresolved issues in their lives. De-

Alfredo's celebrates fourth anniversary in August
By Kris Hoffler
Staff Writer
On August 29, 1989, Alfredo
Coughlin decided to move his pizza
business from The Plaza to Down-
town on Fifth Street, a brilliant busi-
ness move. This week will mark the
fourth anniversary of hisdowntown
location.
According to Alfredo, he was
the firstpizza eatery tosurvivedown-
town for any extended period of
time. "Boli's, Milano' s, and so many
others came after me, but it never
hurt my business says Alfredo. His
motto is "ECU's Favorite Pizza and
if you were to go for a slice about 2
o'clock on a Friday night, you would
see that the slogan rings true.
Alfredohails from Staton Island,
New York; he is a displaced Yankee
but has grown quite fond of Green-
ville and the ECU scene in general.
He is a big fan of the football pro-
gram and attends all thehomegames.
Alfredo attributes his delicious
success to the pizza expertise of his
mother, who taught him everything
he knows.
He glowed with pride in trying
to describe his method, an amalgam
of secret spices that was handed
do wn by his mother and her mother
before her and soon, laying his claim
to fame.
He continued to describe the
aspects of his pizza that make it su-
perior: The Neapolitan crust, the
gargantuan size of each slice, the
special recipe, the pure mozzarella
cheese, and, of course, the authentic
New York taste.
You will probably find very little
advertisement for Alfredo's outside
of ECU students; he really doesn't
need it, the students alone are busi-
ness enough. On good nights, he
will serve 1100 people between the
hours of 10pm and 3pm, and that is
a lot of pizza.
Most of the time you can find an
art student or two working behind
the counter, or if you are lucky,
Alfredo himself will serve you with
a smile that was handed down from
hLs mother along with the special
spice recipe.
Next time you visit the late night
festivities of downtown Greenville,
take notice of the numerous white
paper plates scattered about; you
will know that many people have
gone home drunk and well fed.

Hendrix Theatre
gets needed facelift
Machines of Loving Grace release 'Concentration'
By Laura Wri3ht
Assistant ' :festyle Editor
I Cl s one campus movie
theater has no seats.
In fact, it doesn't even have a
movie screen. Hendrix Theater, in
the Mendenhall Student Union, has
been closed since May for remodel-
ing and will reopen (new seats,
screen andall)sometime in the latter
half of September. At present, the
new seats are in boxes and the floor
is without carpet, but workers are
busily making repairs so that stu-
dents will be able to see movies in
October.
"We are totally refurbishing the
entire theater said Betty Hardee,
Associate Director of Operations. She
is very excited about the changes
that are being made and she has
fabric samples on hand.
This is the theater's first renova-
tion since it opened in 1974. Hardee
claims that the theater appeared to
be in pretty good shape for its age
and she attributes this to the house-
keeping staff and to the fact that
repairs have been made as they have
been needed. Repairing individual
seats as they break has helped to
reduce theamountof apparent wear
and tear on the theater.
Snacks are available in the Stu-
dent Union, but food and drink are
not permitted in the theater. This
has also helped to preserve the the-
ater and has "added to the life of it
said Hardee.
In spite of its appearance, age
has taken a toll on the theater. Dry
rojthadruinedthecurtainsand when
wprkers pulled them down, "they
fell all to pieces Hardee said. Also,
Walls in the theater's entranceways
were carpeted and fire codes no
longer allow this. The orange carpet,
which also covered the walkways,
has been removed and the walls
have been papered. A new more
"mellow" colored carpet will cover
the walkways.
rhecolorschemeinl lendrix,
which consisted mainly of yellow,
orange, and gold has been up-
dated to match other renovations
in Mendenhall. Hie theater w ill be
redone in more subtle blues,bur-
gundies and grays. New wine col-
ored curtains have already been
hung on the walls. Along with the
new upholstery, seats and cur-
tains, the theaterhasbeen painted,
the stage has been refinished and
a new completely retractable
screen will be installed to replace a
stationary one. According to
Hardee, the old screen was in re-
ally bad shape. The new screen
will allow for more stage space to
be available to speakers and other
non-movie programs that take
place hi Hendrix.
Hendrix Theater serves ECU
primarily asa movie facility where
popular movies are shown for stu-
dents during the academic year,
but it is also used by community
organizations and summercamps.
Its stage space is not large enough
fortheatricalpnxluctions and even
with the new retractable screen,
there will not be enough room for
stage sets. ECU has a auditorium
that is used for theatrical produc-
tions so Hendrix is free to show
movies. The theater is also used
forspeakerswhenlargeaudiences
are anticipated.
Inpastsummers,movieshave
been shown to freshman orienta-
tion groups, but remodeling made
summer movies impossible this
year. Students will have to wait
until October to use Hendrix The-
ater, but judging from the renova-
tions that are being made, it will
definitely be worth the wait.
October's movies include Vie
Lost Boys,Uist Action Hero and Sliver
to name a few. Admission is free
withcurrentECU I.D.and all films
start and 8 pm. For more informa-
tion, call Mendenhall Student
Union at 757-6004.

H.O.R.D.E. Festival swings
through Walnut Creek
Allgood, Blues Traveler and others play to
small, but dedicated crowd.
By Julie Totten
llifestyle Editor
The second annual
H.O.R.D.E festival brought its
bandwagon of bands to a cozy
crowd on Thursday, August 12.
Media hype and MTV cov-
erage have given this tour phe-
nomenal reviews, but in Raleigh
only a few thousand turned out
for the festivities.
Dave Matthews and
Georgia's own Allgood opened
the show to a few dedicated fans.
The mood was beginning to
take shape for the festival around
- 3:30. Clothes began disappear-
ing, yellow flowers from the
J Creeks mini gardens began deco-
1 rating bags and hair, and finally
la little dancing began.
Aquarium Rescue Unit took
- the stage around this time and
- pleased the audience with tunes
: from their debut album, Mirrors
? of Embarrassment.
Bighead Todd and The
Samples offered the crowd long
(almost sinister) jams. Semi-
drunk people walked around
only when their beers were al-
most empty.
Someone next to me began
talking about this festival and
comparing it to Woodstock. This
tour and Lollapalooza have both
been labeled "the Woodstock of
the '90s
A larger group of people
joined into this young girls' con-
versation and soon we were hav-
ing a panel discussion on this
music.
"1 don't like to think our
generation is back tracking,

nior.

was definatly Widespread Panic.

ists taunted the very drugged

Everyday.
Festivities began to slow at
this point for me. Every song
seemed too long and flighty, but
there was still a cool magic in
the air for Blues Traveler.

Answer: I lu' risk of acquir-
ing HIV or nx other
sexually transmit- 1
ted disease ?
(STD) i-
greater when 4,
people mix w
alcohol with
sexual activ- m
ity.
This is
true tor several
reasons. When
people have had
too much to drink,
judgment is impaired
which leads to poor decision
making. For example, a person
who is reallv intoxicated may en-
gage in a sexual situation that
she or he might later regret. Most
col lege students are familiar with
the term "beer goggles"?when
a person drinks to a point where
anyone looks sexually appealing.
The basic premise of beer gog-
gling is best summed up by the
popular phrase, "Go to bed at 2
o'clock with a 10 and wake up at
10 o'clock with a 2" (this phrase
applies for both genders). The
problem with beer goggles is that
people may end up in a sexual
situation with someone who is
unfamiliar and of an unknown
STD status. Acquaintance rape
is also more likely to occur when
one or both of the partners has
been drinking.
Secondly, when people are
reallv drunk, it is less likely that
contraceptive de-
vices such as con-
doms will be
f used
correctlyif
at all. Ab-
sence of con-
traceptives
puts both
parties at risk
forpregnancy
and STDs. Here
is a sobering sta-
tistic: Women stand a
1 in 5 chance of encounter-
ing a sexual partner infected with
genital warts or chlamydia
(source: Student Insurance Di-
vision, Health News, May 1993).
When alcohol is used in ex-
cess, it compromises the immune
system. A compromised im-
mune system makes the human
body more vulnerable to dis-
eases, including HIV disease.
Finally, alcohol is a depres-
sant that hinders sexual perfor-
mance. Some people report that
they feel more of a desire to par-
ticipate in sexual activities when
they are drunk. The reality is
that alcohol impairs the ability
to reach orgasm for both men
and women.

Volunteer program offers rewarding experiences
Judy Baker, volunteer coordinator, encourages ECU students to get invovled.
By Danial Willis
Staff Writer
ECU has a very successful vol-
unteer program which is headed
by Judy Baker.
Manv people throughout this
community are interested in vol-
unteer work. Often, they have no
idea what they want to do or how
to get invoked.
"I understand that a lot of
peopledon't know how togoabout
volunteering, but anybody is free
to give me a call or come by my
office. I'd be glad to tell them about
the many opportunities that are
available inGreenville'Bakersaid.
Shestarted the program in 1988
with four agencies and no volun-
teers. Now she has 700 volunteers
and is in contact with 43 agencies.
The program has been funded
by various grants. The first two
years a federal grant provided sup-
port. Last year, funding was pro-
vided by a grant from RJ. Reynolds.
The most recent request is for
the university to finance the project.
Baker speaks very optimisti-
cally about the future of the pro-
gram with or without the financial
support of the university.
"We'll absorb the cost of the
program even if the university can't
provide funding she said. "Our
volunteers just mean so much to
our community. Certain Commu-
nity service agencies in Greenville
wouldn't be available if it wasn't
for the support of our volunteers
One of the major things that
Baker emphasizes is that volun-
teers benefit . "Peopledon't under-
stand how much the actual volun-
teers benefit she said. "If some-
body can gain a certain degree of
self-respect, or practical experience
in, a field they are interested in
then everybody benefits

Baker has received numerous
awards on the behalf of her volun-
teer program. Some are national
awards such as the Points of Light
Award and the Most Outstanding
Collegiate Award.
Baker sits in her small office
wihtoutairconditioningon thesec-
ond floor of Christenbury and says,
"Now I have all these awards, and
there's nowhere to put them. It's
kind of funny, but that's hardly a
problem
When asked what motivated
her to get involved in volunteer
work Baker was very quick to an-
swer: "I've raised two children in
this community and I feel very close
to the vouth around this area so it
really does bother me when
people try to project the younger
people as negative figures be-
cause they do so much for the
city of Greenville. These pro-
grams are essential to the com-
munity and they represent the
youth positively

ing volunteer work, don't hesi-
tate to get in contact with Baker.

No film this summer

H avis
c o m -
bines his impressive skill with a
top-notch screenplay by JebStua.t
and Da id Twohy.
Davis has been called an un-
compromising director and one
scene in his current film bears
this out. Davis needed to stage a
train crash and refused to use
models to do it. He took an old
bus and retired train cars and
staged one of the most exciting
crash scenes ever seen on cellu-
loid. It the crash looks real, these
exists a good reason for that real-
ism?Andrew Davis demands it
One of the most refreshing
aspects of The Fugitive is its real-
ism. Rarely does the screen fade
to black as Kimble wanders
around after his escape. The cam-
era makes sure to capture every
d l a n a
ones to
John Book
(in Wit-
ness, his
onlyOscai
nominated
p e r to r-
ma nee) to
mammmmmmmammm Jack Ryan
(in one of
last
summer's best films, Patriot
Game).
Though the script has sparse
dialogue for Kimble, Ford can tell
more with his eyes and gestures
than many lesser actors can with
an entire page of oration. Ford
anchors the film and gives The
Fugitive its heart.
Tommy Lee Jones gives the
film its soul. His Deputy Gerard
elicits nearly as much compas-
sion as Kimble. The audience
conies to respect his professional-
ism and his calm in the face of
adversity. Jones brings life to a
role that could have quickly be-
come staid. With many fine per-
formances on his resume, Jones
could now become a major star.
One scene involving the death
"58$sm$?
of another fugitive exemplifies
ones'ability. Gerard has to shoot
a felon while the criminal holds
one of Gerard's men hostage.
When the agent later tells Gerard
that he could have killed him,
Gerard asks to see his ear He
says: "Can you hear this?" The
agent slowly nods. Then Gerard
punctuates each word and tersely,
quietly says: "I don't, bargain.
Did you hear that1 I don't bar-
gain
Jones' demeanor throughout
the scene raises the scene and the
entire film above the tired con-
ventions of the thriller. Deputy
Gera rd is green a I i fe by Jones and
is remox ed from the trappings of
conventional law enforcement of-
ficers.
The big films this summer
have been remarkably good, ex-
cepting Jurassic Park which was a
dino-disappointme.u. I he Firm
riveted audiences and In the Line
of Fire provided a well-crafted
Hollywood cliche. Still, The Fugi-
tive outshines them all.
No film this summer pos-
sesses the artistic sensibility dis-
played in The Fugitive. From dark
tunnels where shadows loom to
dizzving overhead shots of Chi-
cago to remarkably taut chase se-
quences, not one aspect of this
film lets the viewer down.
No film this summer warrants
the repeated viewings that Tlie
Fugitive does.
Knowing the story only di-
minishes part of the fun. Just
watching the cat and mouse
games in which Kimble and
Gerard engage provides reason
enough for another viewing.
On a scale of one to HI, The
Fugitive rates a nine.

ECU students bid
Greenville goodbye
Staff Reports
The East Carolinian
While most of students will
spend the fall and spring semes-
ters in the flatlands of the coastal
plain, another group of ECL stu-
dents will study in places far, far
away.
Twenty-one students from
ECU will participate in the Na-
tional Student Exchange (NSE)
and the International Student Ex-
change Program (ISEP) beginning
next fall. An equal number of stu-
dents from other United States
and foreign schools will also at-
tend classes at ECU.
Students in the NSE program
will go to other U.S. campuses as
close as Raleigh and as far away
as Manoa, Hawaii. Students in
the international program will live
on campuses in such places as
Australia and Togo in western
Africa.
"The advantage is in expand-
ing the student's horizons and get-
ting access to courses that may
not be taught a t their regular cam-
puses said Stephanie Evancho
of the ECU International Pro-
gram
Under the terms of the pro-
gram, the students pay an applica-
tion fee and their regular tuition at
home. 1 hey pay room and hoard
kvs charged by the schools thev
attend.
The ECL students get credit
for the hours they complete at the
other campuses and the credit
counts towards their graduation.
An equal number of students
from other campuses ha . e selected
ECU for studv next year. Some of
the U.S. schools sending students
to ECU include the University of
Maine, the University of Wiscon-
sin, Illinois State and the State Uni-
versity of New York (SUNY). For-
eignstudentsexpected on campus
next fall will represent Vaxjo Uni-
versity in Sweden, LUISS in Italy,
University of Salvador in Argen-
tina, MSTI Angers in France and
the University of Marburg in Ger-
many.
ECU became a member of the
NSE in 1989. More than 90 other
U.S. campusesare participating in
the program by encouraging stu-
dents to exchange places with stu-
dents at other member campuses.
Wilmington artist colors movie screen
U 11 MINGTOR N.C. (AP)?

Mitchell's father, Alfred, thinks his
son has talent and brags about his
earliest efforts. His supervisors on
theset of the film Inkwell must agree.
Mi tchell's a rtwork is being used
throughout the movie; and he was
commissioned to paint a portrait of
BookerT. Washington, blackeduca-
tor and leader, for the film. Inkwell,
directed by Matty Rich (Straight Out
of Brooklyn), is the storv of a black
boy coming of age during the sum-
mer of 1976 in Martha's Vineyard.
The movie is being filmed in
Wilmingtonand the Fort Fisher area.
Mitchell, 34, of Wilmington
started his production career spack-
ling sets. He has worked in the fiber-
glass, construction and paint depart-
ments on Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, Billy Bathgate, Houscheld
Saints and Simple Justice.
He decided he wanted to be a
scenic artist and has worked toward
that goal.
"I paid close attention to what
