Charles B. Alford, an ECU
graduate student in business, re-
ceived a 1993 National Black MBA
Association Scholarship Award
this weekend in Atlanta.
"I am honored to be recog-
nized in this way with students at
these other fine universities
Alford said. Winners represent
many top-ranked schools includ-
ing UCLA, Harvard and Califor-
nia-Berkeley.
Alford, who will graduate
from the master's program in De-
cember, received $3,000 to be ap-
plied towards his education.
Over 400 students in Master's
of Business Administration pro-
grams across the United States
applied for the scholarship. Alford
was one of the 25 who were
awarded the scholarship based on
his academic accomplishments.
Alford also wrote an essay,

Committees and was appointed
to the position of assistant chair
of the Elections Committee.
Howard feels that her good
communication and leadership
skills will help her achieve her
goals of "getting more students
involved in campus activities and
helping to insure that people's
views can be expressed

While many Americans
anxiously focus on the Clinton
administration's proposed so-
lutions to health care, one indi-
vidual is focusing on specific
health problems; where they
originate, and why there are so
many medical differences be-
tween blacks and whites.
The Minority Presence Ini-
tiative recently presented a lec-
ture on African-American health
issues, which was sponsored by
the ECU Department of Child
Developmental and Family Re-
lations.
Dr. Norman B. Anderson,
a professor of psychiatry and
psychology at Duke University,
was the guest speaker for the
evening.
He has devoted 10 years
to the study of health issues re-
lated to African-Americans.
His research includes hy-
pertension, cardiovascular dis-
ease, autonomic nervous system
response, cancer and interven-
tion strategies to improve the
health of the African-American
population.
Dr. Anderson, a native of
Greensboro, received his Bach-
elor of Arts degree in psychol-
ogy from North Carolina Cen-
tral University and received his
masters and doctorate degrees
from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.
He is a member of several
organizations?the American
Psychological Association, the
Society of Behavioral Medicine,
the Gerontological Society of
America and the Association of
Black Psychologists, just to name
a few.
Anderson is involved in
the behavioral medicine and
health psychology fields of
study.

Funding campaign
begins for ResearchINC

Staff Writer
"Research cures. Research
saves lives This is the motto of
ResearcWNorth Carolina, as ech-
oed by Dr. Alvin Volkman, Asso-
ciate Dean for Research and
Graduate Studies at the ECU
School of Medicine.
Dr. Volkman and others
were on hand Thursday afternoon
in the Brody Medical Sciences
Building to kickoff a new fund-
raising ? campaign for
ResearchlNorth Carolina, a non-
profit alliance promoting new dis-
coveries in health.
Mayor Nancy Jenkins and
Dr. Thomas Irons, Senior Associ-
ate Dean of the School of Medi-
cine, gave the welcome. Irons de-
scribed the role the medical school
will play in the health research
field.
"We here at ECU have a
unique position to be able to do
something about the lack of medi-
cal research. We have significant
research strengths even though
our primary goal is not to be a
research institution
Irons also pointed out that
more money is spent on Nintendo
games by the public than is spent
on medical research. Volkman
said that only three percent of the
$900 billion spent on health care
goes toward research.
Mary Wooley, President of
ResearchlAmerica, the parent
group of ResearchlNorth Caro-
lina, presented an overview of the
campaign. She asked for more
government spending on health
research.
"Nine out of 10 people be-
lieve more should be done by gov-
ernment. Citizens at the 70 per-
cent level are willing to be taxed
to increase medical research. How
come elected representatives
aren't making sure, as President
Clinton said, that medical research
is truly safeguarded?"
After Wooley spoke, three
professors gave presentations on
their research work accomplished
through grants from the National
Institutes of Health.
Dr. D. Kirk Ways, associate
Professor of Medicine and Direc-

Anderson said. "Behavioral
medicine is basically an inter-
disciplinary field, it's a phi-
losophy where you accept that
medical problems aren't just
due to biological factors, but
involve psychological, behav-
ioral, social and cultural fac-
tors, and those factors can be
used in treat-ment
Dr. Anderson's lecture
covered factors that contrib-
ute to the large variation be-
tween black and white death
rates.
Life expectancy, accord-
ing to race and sex, is seven
years shorter for the black
male than the white male, and
life expectancy for the black
female is five years shorter
than the white female.
"Homicide rates are
higher for the black male,
which is primarily true for the
young black male between the
ages of fifteen and thirty-
four Anderson said.
"Are genetic factors re-
sponsible for black and white
differences in health?" Ander-
son said. "I answer that ques-
tion very simply, no
According to Anderson,
we are too mixed up geneti-
cally, and the individual dif-
ferences are more important
than group differences.
Anderson discussed sev-
eral factors that explained the
health differences between
blacks and whites, such as the
socioeconomic status of blacks
and whites compared to their
residential area.
"Living in an impover-
ished area carries with it in-
creased risk for all-cause mor-
tality Anderson said.
Anderson explained that
poor whites don't generally
live in an impoverished area
compared to the number of
poor blacks who generally do.

OPEC agrees to put a cap on production
GENEVA (AP)?Desperate
to force oil prices higher, OPEC
nations agreed today to cap their
surging crude production at 24.5
million barrels a day in the coming
months.
But OPEC Secretary-General
Subroto said the ministers have yet
to set individual pumping limits
for each of the dozen member coun-
tries.
"We have now solved 50 per-
cent of the problem he told re-
porters after a morning meeting of
the Organization of Petroleum Ex-
porting Countries.
The decision to set a new out-
put ceiling for the OctDec. quarter
came after reports that President
Hashemi Rafsanjani of Iran con-
ferred by phone with King Fahd of
Saudi Arabia and stressed the need
for cooperation to drive up prices.
OPEC's excess production
has helped force oil prices to their
lowest levels in three years, with
prices running about $6 a barrel
below the $21 target.
Negotiations had focused on
a new production ceiling of 24.3
million to24.5millionbarrelsof oil
a day for the final three months of
the year. The group now pumps
about24.7 million barrelsaday?
a million barrels over the cap set
for the July-Sept, quarter.
With demand expected to
rise ahead of the winter heating
season in the United States and
Europe, the ministers hope pro-
duction restraint will lift prices.
In the past, thecartelhashad
trouble getting all members to
honor commitments on pumping
levels.

Students walk in silence
students and faculty members silently marched
sity campus in memory of a student
. four years ago. The silent marchhasbeen
held eni Gray, an Appalachian student, was ab-
ducted and murdered in the fall of 1989. The crowd, which included
a student who was abducted and sexually assaulted bv the man who
murdered Gray, converged on the student center in early September,
w here they listened to speeches they hope will raise awareness and
dispel fears. The Boone, .C, campus has a history of violence.
Gray's abduction took place a block from the campus, and last year
a highly publicized rape took place in a central part of the campus.
While Gray's murderer is on death row, the perpetrator of the rape
remains free.
Heisman Trophy winner returns
After 20 years, a Heisman Trophy winner is back in the classroom at
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln working toward a degree thathe
never received, according to The Nebraskan, the UNL newspaper.
Former Cornhusker wingbacker Johnny Rogers, 42, who was awarded
the Heisman Trophy in 1972, said he regrets not completing the
coursework for his degree, and this time he'll stay in school until he
completes his education. Rogers, a Lincoln resident, is president of
the Omaha-based Malcolm X Memorial Foundation. His education
is being paid for by the Northeastern University Center for the Study
of Sport in Society.
No means no at Antioch University
At Antioch University you better believe it if someone says they don't
want to kiss you. Or hug you. Or go to bed with you. It could mean
your college career. The small liberal arts school, in Yellow Springs,
Ohio, has a sexual offense policy that requires students to give and
receive verbal consent for every act of affection, from touching to
kissing to sexual intercourse. In addition, if an Antioch student ?
male or female ? fails to disclose having a sexually-transmitted
disease and has intercourse with another student, it could mean a
suspension of three months or more. "Some say we are too strin-
gent said Marian Jensen, dean of students at the college. "But all we
are asking for is that students use respect and common sense The
13-page policy, which was recently revised, covers issues such as
rape, sexual assault, insistent or persistent sexual harassment, non-
disclosure of a known positive HIV status, and non-disclosure of a
known sexually-transmitted disease.

ECU's Interfraternity Council will hold a meeting tonight at 5

votes from any attending fraternity presidents.

It has been shown that more

Anderson explained that
this may be true because ciga-

Clinton's health-care plan
Proposed reform designed to
insure all Americen citizens, offer
more secure coverage
Even if vou don't agree with all of the nuances
and small print featured in Clinton's American
Health Security Act, vou have to admit that the man
has really got it goin' on in terms of focusing on the
issues.
Yes, he started out very badly. Yes, the fight for
gays in the military was embarrassing. And we
can't forget about the North American trade agree-
ment, can we? But last week, President Clinton
presented to America a plausible, workable plan
that could very well improve the country and ben-
efit everyone.
In his speech to Congress last Wednesday night,
Clinton laid out in clear terms what he wanted ?
guaranteed health care for all by the end of 1997
without regard to their income or medical status.
And he did this by giving the opposition a choice:
they can either join him in reforming health care or
opt for the status quo.
There are currently an estimated 37 million
uninsured people in this country and the system is
heading for bankruptcy faster than you can say
"Medicare Certainly it isn't too much to ask that
every citizen in a country as advanced technologi-
cally and medically as America receive health care.
Lately, though, you may wonder.
All too obvious is that in an election year, there
isn't a politician alive who wants to look bad. De-
spite deep divisions, two factors lead most lawmak-
ers to predict passage by next fall: Republicans
have an equal stake in seeing something enacted
and lawmakers of both parties fear facing the voters
in 1994 without a final product.
Included in the plan is coverage for treatment
in hospitals or doctors' offices, prescription drugs,
dental work for children, mental health and sub-
stance abuse treatment, outpatient exams, eye-
glasses for children, ambulances, pregnancy ser-
vices (including abortion) hospice and home care,
rehabilitation services and medical devices.
This protects consumer choice and sustains the
quality of care, something often lacking in many
areas of the country. The plan does this by creating
regional health "alliances" that will license a vari-
ety of insurance plans. Washington will dictate the
basic health care package and pay the premiums for
the poor and unemployed.
Clinton pledged to enact the health-care plan
without any new broad-based taxes and he called
for a new tax on tobacco to help foot the bill. Clinton
also acknowledged that his $700 billion, 5-year plan
will be a tough sell. "There can't be any something
fornothingThisisnota free system he said. And
he's right, you know.
The pian is not perfect. And perhaps it isn't
even everyone's first choice. But at least the presi-
dent has skillfully woven a compromise that pro-
vides the blueprint we need to move ahead in the
right direction. It would be ridiculous to think that
the plan that Clinton has proposed will make it ?
unchanged? to Congress and then passed into law.
but it's a start.
Under the current system, a person is discrimi-
nated against if they are sick or a have a disease that
they never asked for in the first place. And looking
at it that way, there is something dreadfully wrong
with this country. Kudos to Clinton for bringing a
little humanism back into the American fibre.

Why ask why?" prompts philosophical thoughts
You know those Bud Dry
commercials? Tin? ones where the
speaker says " why ask whv?" af-
ter asking some prettv intriguing
questions about relationships,
politics, life and so forth? I like
those commercials. They make me
laugh: thev get me thinking.
Nevermind the fact that the un-
derlying message is, "get drunk
and vou won't care why any:
more I still like them.
Why is that?
I've tried that "why ask why"
approach to curiosity; 1 drank a
Bud but for some reason or other,
I was still asking why. For ex-
ample, why was I drinking an
unfamiliar brand of beer? I even
came up with an answer: 1 had
been suckered by a commercial.
After all, I think that it's probably
human nature to ask why when
things don't make sense or when
things don't seem right. So, to the
beer people, I may trv Bud Dry
and still ask why.
The truth of the matter is
that, drunk or sober, there always
seems to be plenty to ask why
about. And not only is it impor-
tant to ask why, it is more impor-
tant to figure out an answer in
order to deal with problematic
situations. Knowing why is the
first step toward change. So pop
open a brewski and let's ponder a
few of ECU's mysteries.
Why is the phone always
busy at the Financial Aid office?
My theory is that it is really off of
the hook. I even dreamed one night
(you can only imagine how many
times I had tried to call there dur-
ing the day) that 1 walked into the
office, leaned over the counter and
saw for myself that the receiver
was hanging from the
receptionist's desk. But to give the
Financial Aid folks their due, they
have always been very nice to me.
I haven't seen my loan yet, but
that's beside the point.
Why is this campus being
covered with concrete and as-
phalt? I think that it has some-
thing to do with those aggressive
squirrels that live on the mall and
shamelessly beg for scraps of my
lunch. The administration has de-
cided that since the squirrels aren't
paying fees, buying books or pur-
chasing parking stickers, grass and
trees should be turned into more
useful things like rec centers. (You
should see those parking ticket
people try to ticket the squirrels
for munching acorns in staff
spaces?it's scarv. No one ben-
efits.)
Why do I think that I've seen
squirrels being ticketed? Because
I'm not feeling well. I think that
I'm running a fever but I don't
own a thermometer so I can't
check. Here's why I think that I'm
sick: germs float around in Gen-
eral Classroom Building?where
I spend about 40 hours a week?
because the ventilation system
doesn't work properly. The win-
dows don't open. The same air
that was in GCB when it was first
built is probably still there now.
Does the phrase "sick building"
mean anything to you?
I'd take a Tylenol but I'm
out. Could I bum a buck so that I
can buv some from Student
Health?"
I'll end by asking: why don't
things change if there is so much
obvious dissatisfaction with the
wav things are? Let's face it, we,
as a student body, are a very tran-
sitory and not-at-all unified en-
tity. Students tend to exist on a
college campus for a while before
they even become aware that thev
are the victims of someone else's
political agenda.
Usually by the time we real-
ize that things smell fishy, we're
about ready to graduate. In theory
at least, those of you that have
beenhereforsix yea rsorsoshould
be pretty ticked off by now. Or
maybe you've gotten the hang of
the "drink, don't think" policy. I
used to think that it was ridicu-
lous that it took students so long
to graduate but now I think that
maybe we should hang out until
the rec center opens since we'll be
paying for it anyway. After all,
1995 is just around the corner.
Or maybe the squirrels will
form a unified front and fight for
their rightsI'm delirious. Time
for a Tylenol.

Letters to the Editor
Women play large part in their own oppression
To the Editor:
Amen to Laura
Wright's editorial about pag-
eants and the roles women
plav in them. It's about time
that women realize the part
thev plav in their own op-
pression. We'll continue to
be exploited in pageants, as
topless dancers, prostitutes,
in music videos, etc etc.
Women, realize that we must
take a stand and prove to the
world that our brains work
just as well as our bodies.
Women that fall within
a low economic status may
feel the only roads open to
them are prostitution or top-
less dancing. Understand
that you can afford a college
education with government
assistance. Nobody adver-
tises all of the financial help
you can get. But nobody's
stopping you from search-
ing for the answers yourself.
I'm a single parent and
full-time ECU student. No-
body knows better than I that
Clinton is dying to put me
through school so that I can
get off of public assistance
and can become financially
independent.
Unfortunately, women
will probably never be paid
millions to play football.
However, we can go to col-
lege and get a diploma,
which is a woman's best de-
fense against poverty and
the discrimir ation and ha-
rassment tnat come along
with it.

Insecurity sighted as cause of "Pageant" article
To the Editor:
I'm not positive, but I
think maybe the author of the
articleon "PageantGirls"may
be just a little insecure about
herself to be attacking other
people the way she did.
Whatever the case, she
definitely did not know what
she was talking about nor did
she get her facts straight. First
of all, she mentioned two pag-
eants, the Miss USA Pageants
and the Miss America Pag-
eants. They are two different
pageants (I bet she didn't even
know that). I am only person-
ally familiar with the Miss
America system, so I will fo-
cus on that.
The Miss America Schol-
arship Program is a program
which awards millions of dol-
lars of scholarship money to
voung women every year.
Four areas of competition are
judged: Talent, which counts
for 40 of the total judging,
Interviewing, 30, Evening
Gown and Swimsuit, both
15 respectively. The partici-
pants must also be highly in-
volved in community service
and a platform issue aimed at
improving society. Some will
tackle (to use another football
analogy) domestic violence,
teen pregnancy, illiteracy,
drug abuse, and the list goes
on.
Leanza Cornett, Miss
America of this past year, trav-
eled all over the nation to
speak about AIDS education.
She touched the lives of many
people. Now if you want to
call her a beauty queen, I'll
agree. But I call it inner beauty.
1 know that the actions
of a few can hurt the whole
group, but your generaliza-
tions of "Pageant Girls" are
way off base, and your com-
parison of them to prostitutes
is not only inaccurate but very
rude. I am appalled that such
a story, with such downgrad-
ing comments, was even pub-
lished by a staff person. What
are you, The East Enquirer?
ECU is full of intelligent,
motivated, beautiful and de-
termined young women.
Many of these women have
already been, will be, or are
currently involved in the Miss
North Carolina Scholarship
Program. Maybe next time,
you should get the facts from
the source before you write
such an article.
So whenever vou are
ready for an intelligent, infor-
mative, and factual conversa-
tion, give me a call.

Senior
Business Administration
By T. Scott Batchelor
Health plan
presented on
emotional level
It seems, according to President Clinton
and his nattering nabobs of negativism, that
we are in the midst of yet another national
crisis. One wonders how we ever got along
without the president to identify these fester-
ing problems in our society. The crisis du jour
concerns health care in this country, an issue
Clinton eloquently defined and prescribed a
cure for in his speech to Congress last week.
Clinton acknowledged that the United
States health care system, aside from being
"costliest and most wasteful system on the
face of the earth is the best in the world. He
pulled heart strings (the purse strings come
later) with the story of an unfortunate busi-
nessman who has seen his health care pre-
mium "skyrocket" over the last several years.
"And last year Clinton said, "he painfully
discovered he could no longer afford to pro-
vide coverage for all his workers, because his
insurance company told him that two of his
workers had become high risks because of
their advanced age
Laying the groundwork for this kind of
democracy, one network prefaced its broad-
cast of the president's speech with a man who
said his wife had advanced arthritis requir-
ing expensive medical treatments, but com-
plained that insurance for her is either non-
existent or cost prohibitive.
Both of these anecdotes work on an
emotional level to advance the argument for
socializing our health care system; under the
scrutiny of logic, however, they both crumble.
When a person purchases health insur-
ance, or any kind of insurance for that ma tter,
he is insuring against future loss. The risk of
this loss is computed by actuaries working
for insurance companies. Premiums are set
according to the level of risk involved. The
Academic American Encyclopedia says "the
premium charged on the risk must be low
enough to attract a sufficient number of in-
sured people, vet high enough to support the
numbers of probable losses For this reason,
very logically, when the risk of loss increases?
for example, with certain types of dangerous
occupations, lifestyles and, yes, even in-
creased age?premiums can sometimes go
up. Looking at it this way, it seems ludicrous
for a person with a pre-existing, costly health
problem to rebuke the insurance industry for
refusing to insure him. This person doesn't
want insurance; he wants charity.
Trying to purchase health insurance
after you've become sick or injured is like
trying to buy collision insurance on your car
after you've run into a tree. Or, taken to its
logical (and absurd) conclusion, it's like at-
tempting to ta ke out a life insurance policy on
your dead spouse.
If risk elements didn't play a part in
setting insurance premiums or in deciding
who can reasonably be insured, the president
wouldn't be so bent on the idea of partially
funding the new system with a huge tax on
cigarettes. However, if the president is going
to target items that are linked to disease, then
we can look forward to increased prices on a
wide range of items. Big Macs, for example.
Since heart disease is the number one killer in
the country today, and since high-fat. high
cholesterol diets are linked to heart disease,
then we should see a special tax on
McDonald's.Burger King, KFC, Parker's Bar-
becue, Cubbie's the list goes on and on.

explores dim world
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
In 1950, a musical debuted in
New York City and blew the minds
of theater-goers everywhere. Ithad
everything?a great story, catchv
show runes and a cast of memorable
and exciting characters. Fort)' years
later, Frank Loesser and Damon
Runyon's smash success graces the
stage here at East Carolina.
"Guys and Dolls in director
John Shearin's words, is "one of the
best musicals ever written. This is
one of my top favorite musicals, in
the top two or three. It offers every-
thing you 'd ever want?grea t score,
great tunes, delightful characters
and a perfect story that carries all of
this along
Shearin's notalone in his praise
of this musical that still packs crowds
in wherever it plays. Perhaps the
only true way to do this show jus-
tice is toquote an excerpt from Time
magazine:
"No American musical ever
had a better book or funnier and
more truthful lyrics. And few had
so many catchv, jubilant tunes in
one score. Only a handful have
mined a literary vein as rich as
Damon Runyon's wry stories that
transmuted thugs into thinkers, and
louts into Lochinvars 'Guys and
Dolls' is a fable that romanticizes
hoods and hustlers, touts and
troublemakers into cuddlesome
comicdelights. It rums mean streets,
back alleys and even subway tun-
nels into

When asked the difference be-
tween a musical and a "straight

logistical problems is where it's re-

Striking Distance' casts ray of shame
By Ike Shibley

Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Staff Writer
The first 50 pages of Jeff
Putnam's Litest m nel, Bottoms Up.
would be a hying experience for
any self-respecting female reader.
Every five pages or so, I had to
suppress the urge toslam the book
shut and throw it across the room.
ou see, the novel's protago-
nist, Gordon Bancroft, an opera
singer fumed raging alcoholic, is
presented asa self-serving lout who
exploits and degrades women in
order to sustain his addiction. And
thataddiction ishuge. This guy can
drink like nobody's business?hide
thecoughmedicineifairdoncomes
over for dinner?yet he can still
seduce anything with breasts be-
cause he looks like a movie star
athlete. Women love him and he
could care less as long as they pro-
vide wine in return for his sexual
expertise. I,onfheotherhand,hated
him. At first, rhatis.
Bancroftsleepson a mattress in
his friend Hilliard'saparfmentand
he latches on to Alice, a divorced
woman with a young son, who
lives upstairs. Gordon assumes that
she is searching for a husband and
he plays upon this "need" in the
hopes that she will feed and care for
him. Alice is only one of seven other
useful females.
.And Gordon drinks. He goes
to work drunk, drinks on breaks
and frits tosed ucea blind co-worker
becauseheb. s" I could stare at her
all I wanted hancroft goes from
job b i job, blowing all of his money
onalcoholandovsterslof all things).
Finally, however, he hits rock-bot-
tom and decides to stop drinking.
At this point, Gordon Bancroft
shows the reader that, yes, he too is
a human being. After Bancroft real-
izes that he is unable to continue at
his present rateof intake, he admits
thathistreatmentof the people that
care about him is deplorable. The
novel proceeds beyond the light-
hearted raunchy antics of a rollick-
ing lush into Bancroft's genuine
struggle to stay dry and to find
some meaning in a world of sobri-
ety.
f It is desperately afraid that
existence is meaningless without
alcohol. With booze, he has some-
thing in which to believe. He says,
even though he feels completely
hollow, "thealcoholsloshesaround
and it sounds like an idea
The man that struggles be-
tiveenplasteredoblivionand mean-
ingJesssobrietyis transformed from
the complete moochjerk that ex-
ists at the beginning of the novel
intoa vulnerableand atfimes lonely-
shell of his former "fun- loving"
self. Itis possible to care about him,
it is possible to forgive him. It is'
even possible to wish him luck in
finding meaning in a world with-
out drink.
But he doubts verv seriously
thatany meaning exists. He begins
to feel "virruous"because "I wasn't
dehumanizing women, I wasn't
sponging" yet at the same time his
suspicions about sobriety are con-
firmed and he says, "I was a cog in
a machineI had come to realize I
could do nothing to stop the ma-
chine
In the end, well, Gordon's life
can t be fixed in a mere 320 pages.
Jeff Putnam even makes the reader
wonder, when Gordon plunges (tf

After seemgwhatTfeFHfwdidfor Chicago
1 was hoping that Striking Distance, the new film
- starring Bruce Willis, might do the same for Pitts-
burgh. Rowdy Herrington, the film's director, comes
from Pittsburgh just as 77k Fugitive's Andrew Davis
comes from Chicago. Unlike Davis, Herrington con-
veys no artistic affection for his hometown
Herrington uses Pittsburgh the way a businessman
would use a prostitute-he extracts the desired
thrill, caring little about the city.
The story Herrington tells could have occurred
in any city. This director utilizes none of the special
attributes of Pittsburgh and leaves the viewer feel-
ing that Herrington has somehow cheapened his
hometown by misusing it so badly. The story in
Striking Distance takes place entirely in the Steel
City, but more of the film looks like it was shot on a
studio lot than on location.
Herrington not only embarrasses the city of
Pittsburgh, he also embarrasses the world of cin-
ema. To think that The Fugitive and Striking Distance
both fit into the action genre d isconcerts one's better
sensibilities. The films are no more alike than Duck
Soup and Forty's, the former being a masterpiece
and the latter a bastardization of an entire genre
Striking Distance concerns a Pittsburgh police-
man named Tom Hardy (Bruce Willis) who testifies
against hisPartner,JimmyDetillo(RobertPastorelli

seem to consider that Hardy probably
made an extremely courageous decision
by telling the truth. Only Hardy's father
(thesmall role?and theonly one played
with any credibility?is filled by John
Ma honey) believes that his son did the
correct thing. Hardy Sr. tells his son the
motto that he lives by, and the one used
on the father's tombstone when he dies
in the first five minutes of the film:

An interesting musical combi-
nation was featured atO'RocksSat-
urday night. Picasso Trigger, Gee-
zer Lake and Robot played minia-
ture sets.
Robot opened theshowat 11:40.
The crowd was just settling in at the
time. Enthusiasm among members
of the audience was just starting to
increase. On the wall behind the
band a film was shown.
I found myself staring at the
different scenes. It made me won-
der if people were paying more at-
tention to the film or to the music. A
lot of the music seemed to narrate
certain parts of the film.
11 was really hard to distinguish
one song from another. Their music
was very fast, and they fed off of
distortion. Some of the music was
kind of disturbing when it wascom-
bined with the film scenes. Robot
played for, at most, 30 minutes.
The only real complaint that
can be voiced about the show is that
none of the bands played extended
n , ?? ??ut uk uanospjayea extended sions w
Don't Run My Life: Campus Recreation Center
sets. The show started too late, and
the breaks between bands lasted an
av erageof 30minutesapiece. In fact,
between the three bands, only two
hours of music was played.
Geezer Lake, a band from
Greensboro, started playingatabout
12:30. They played longer than the
other two bands.
Theircrowdpresencewasvery
evident. The lead singer and saxo-
phonist were nestled back into the
corner of the stage. Most of their
songs consisted of drawn-out ses-
sions which gradually built up in
intensity. But then, when a song
would build up to a climax, the
band would pull back. Then they'd
break into a session that almost
seemed like jazz. In doing this,
they reflected a lot of variety and
covered a wide range of musical
taste.
AfterGeezer Lake, everybody
knew who was coming up next.
Picasso Trigger, a band out of
Chapel Hill, has a reputation for
putting on very enthusiastic per-
Hovv refreshing, how somulat

a large conglomeration, a nation, an
infrastructure has its priorities
straight. Life is good that way. It's a
beautiful tiling.
AndlthinkECUhasfmallycome
to its senses and got its act together. I
don't know about you, but an extra
S25 tacked on our tuition per semes-
ter for the next 30 years for a Rec
center is a damn gt x xi idea. Let's see,
that tomes to about oh, just about
19.5 million dollars And the thing
costs what? 18million.Hmm,whata
swell plan.
That, m friends, my babies, is a
thinking man's plan. And do vou
know why I like it? Because I don't
think it matters that our library leaks
and it's rundown and vou can't ever
find books and the on-line system is,
well, unique (but I hear they 're work-
ing on it). And the heck" with the
hundreds of parking spaces this rec
center is going to cost us, dammit' we
need a place to play!
I trust that my point is taken. I've
got a sneaking suspicion that IX I
might not really be a college, but a
business. I mean, how will a rec cen-
ter improve academic standards and
prepare our hearts and minds for the
rigors of that thing we call Ihe Real

And one more tiling. A truestory
from me to you. It's no secret I run
with the intellectual crowd, so let me
tell you what happened to a good
buddy o' mine in the EDepart-
ment. Well, he needed books for his
students to read. But he didn't know
which books until the semester be-
gan.So,inordertoexpedite things for
his students and hisself, he ordered
the books through a kxral indepen-
dent outlet where the books would
be in in about three or four days. No
problem.
Now, what did our valiant hero
do wrong? He went outside the uni-
versity! He didn't bow down to that
paragonofcapitalistavarice,theECU

Well, the plot thickens. A memo

by jumping off a bridge. Every-
one manages to show up at the
bridge?you would think that
Jimmy sent invitations. Jimmy's
dad (Dennis Farina), a cop, is there
as is Jimmy's brother Danny
(Tommy Seizmore), another cop.
Jimmv's dad also happens to be
Hardy's uncle, because, the best 1
could figure, almost everyone on
the Pittsburgh police force is re-
lated. Of course Hardy also shows
up at the suicide scene and tries to
help Jimmy. But Jimmyjumps any-
way.
To heighten the tension,
Herrington shoots the scene in the
rain to accentuate the dreariness
that surrounds Hardy. The rain
only makes an already flimsy film
soggy.
The ending perfectly fits this
contrived, cliche-filed, overblown,
idiotic film. When the confronta-
tion occurs between Hardy and
the murderer, the killer almost dies
several times and then miracu-
lously arises again to terrorize
Hardy. The killer gets shot, barely

avoids crashing his boat into a
bridge piling, barely avoids get-

drowning in a ridiculous under-
water battle, and finally gets elec-
trocuted.
This climactic fight drags on
forever as Hardy and the killer
go from a cabin, to a boat, to a
factory and to the bottom of the
river.
Striking Distance stinks. The
film is mired with viciously use-
less violence and unusually bad
taste. This movie comes nowhere

Buc offense drowns in 'Purple Reign'

Quarterback Chris Hester (8), played well in the first half of Saturday's game connecting on 11 of 20 passes
in the first half. However, he only threw the ball three more times and finished with 99 yards in the air.

SEATTLE ? ECU'S best de-
fensive performance in two years
was squandered by their worst of-
fensive output since 1980 in a 35-0
loss to Washington.
The Pirates' 103 total yards was
their lowest output since totaling
102 against Florida State 10 years
ago.
It was also 96 percent passing.
Washington's "Purple Reign" de-
fense held ECU to a school record-
low of four yards rushing, prompt-
ing ECU head coach Steve Logan to
call the Huskies' defense the best
he's seen since joining the Pirate
coaching staff. The loss also ended
a 55-game scoring streak dating
back toSept. 17,1988,againstSouth
Carolina.
Washington's offense, spear-
headed by running back Napoleon
Kaufman's 142-yards rushing, to-
taled 288 net yards. ECU had not
held an opponent to under 300
yards since Southern Miss totaled
196 on Nov. 9,1991.
Pirate ruggers win
second straight
By W.W.Ellis
Staff Writer
The Pirate Rugby team con-
tinued its winning ways with a
difficult 19-0 win over the UNC-
Wilmington Seahawks. For the
fourth straight game the Pirates
have shut down their opposition,
but this match was not as easy as
the score indicates.
Bolstered by new coaches and
several British ex-patriots, the
Seahawks threatened the Pirate
goal line constantly. When an
early Pirate score was nullified,
the Seahawks rallied and stormed
back. Again, as they had against
NC State and Carolina, the ECU
ruggers bent, but did not break.
Eventually, the Pirates wore
down their smaller opponents
and began to dominate the game.
"The ECU backs tackled us
in back of the gain line UNC-W
coach JackEvanssaid. "Thentheir
forwards stripped the ball and
started to roll. We did not react as
quickly as they did
The first Pirate score came
when Kevin Loftus found a seam
through the Wilmington defense.
His try was converted bv Richard
"Opie" Moss. Later, Jay Keller
thundered across for a second try
which Moss converted. Up 14-6,
the Pirates had the game well in
hand, but the Seahawks did not
fade away.
The second half proved more
of the same as the Pirates turned
away threats to their linebut could
not finish off the opposition. Af-
ter a series of tackles and short
kicks, wing Chris Patterson
charged downa Wilmington kick
and had it bounce into his hands
with the way clear to the goal line.
Patterson's try gave the Pirates
their final margin of victory.
As part of their new squad
concept, five players moved up
and performed crediblv for the
first XV. Mark Fairchild and Jor-
dan Ashburn had good days at
flanker while Chris Patterson got
his first A side try. On the wing,
Todd Ward covered well and
came close to scoring on several
long kick and chase moves.
After the NC State game,
some ietdown was expected.
UNC-W does not have the man-

match was a crucial league game
to determine the eastern slot for
the Carolina championship.
"We were flat said Keller.
"There will be some changes
made for the Duke game. The
backs have to make the ball avail-
able. The forwards can't run all
the way across the field to see a
back die with the ball
"It was not a spectacular
win ECU head coach Larry
Babits said. "We had problems
on offense but the defense worked
well again. I'm not completely
certain how we manage to shut
down the opposition, but we al-
ways try to pressure them. The
guys know they have to win to
stay in the running for the cham-
pionship . The parts are all in place;
we just need to fine tune them

Richards shines as soph
Team wins conference opener
By Brad Oidham
Staff Writer
If there is one thing fha t ma tters to sophomore
Melanie Richards, it's taking the East Carolina
women's volleyball team to a new level. The task
is not necessarily an easy one, considering the
team's 1-11 record, but make no matter of that for
now. Because as long as the ball is in Melanie's
court, the changes will come.
The role of being a leader is not new to Melanie
(who prefers to be called "Mel") because she has
been there before. While growing up in West
Henrietta, New York, she lettered in two sports,
playing both soccer and volleyball. It was Mel who
led her high school volleyball squad to a 21-0
record and the county championship title her se-
nior year.
But it was not always an easy ride for her. She
originally started playing volleyball in seventh
grade gym class, and found an interest in the game
from her gym teacher, who was coaching the
school's team. She tried out for the school team
that season, but was cut. Practice and hard work
paid off during the try-outs from that season to the
next. Mel made the team the following season,
went on to play all four years in high school and
has finally ended up here at East Carolina, under
head coach of the volleyball team, Martha
McCaskill.
Mel's reasons for choosing ECU were simple.
First of all, it was located in the South, and second,
she knew that she could make an impact on the
volleyball program. It was always her own desire
that led to her success, and she felt tha t this was the
place for her.
Mel came into this season off an impressive
first year in which she won the ECU Rookie of the
Year a ward for playing outside hitter for the team.
Coach McCaskill assigned her the responsibility of
co-captain this season along with junior Sarah
Laurent. Individual stats are not of importance to
Mel, however, because she chooses to focus on
team goals. One of these goals is to play better as a
team than they did last season. She feels that the
team gets along better this season off of the court,
probablv because of the similarity in age amongst
Melanie Richards
the players, who consist of mainly freshmen and sopho-
mores. This, in turn, produces better chemistry and
knowledge of each other's game on the court. Another
goal for Mel and her teammates is to win the Colonial
ConferencCVChampionship. She feels that every team
on their schedule is beatable. Mel knows that the talent is
there, but feels that the team needs to find a way to make
it click.
Mel wants to pursue a career in child development.
"I figure that since I love kids, and the fact that there will
always be kids around, there will always be jobs some-
where out there for me But, as of now, the priority is
bringing the team back up to a winning record. Mel feels
that the students can help the team achieve this goal by
coming out to cheer them on. For once Melanie Richards
and this young Pirate team become older and better, the
future is sure to look brighter.
Ladies looking good Women runners miss first-place finish
By Chip Hudson
Staff Writer
The East Carolina women's
soccer club began its conference
season on Sunday bv defeating
Fayettevillle 2-1. The two teams
played to a 0-0 tie last season,
and both teams were looking for
a victory to start the season. ECU
was a little slow out of the box,
and Fayetteville had a couple of
early scoring opportunities that
goalkeeper Jaime Pierce turned
away.
The first score came with 26
minutes gone in the first half.
Junior forward Jill Metzger
headed a Toni DeRose cross into
the back of the net to give the
Pirates a 1-0 lead. ECU mounted
another good attack, but were
unable to finish it, and at the half
the score remained 1-0.
The Pirates began the second
half very lethargically, and
Fayetteville capitalized on a de-
fensive mishap to tie the score at
1-1. ECU made a substitution,
and the new players' energy was
contagious as the Pirates began
to get back on track. With just
over 10 minutes left in the game,
sweeper Jodi Rittenhouse made
a quick run, and crossed the ball
to Jennie Haines who fired a shot
on goal. The shot was denied, but
Amy Warren was there to put the
rebound awav and put ECU up
2-1.
For the remaining 10 min-
utes, ECU was able to keep the
play in Fayetteville's half of the
field, largely due to solid plav in
the middle of the field from
Maureen Corcoran and Kerri
Griffiths.
"This is a good win for us to
start the season ECU coach
Doug Silver commented. "I think
the league play will be a lot more
competitive than it was last year,
and I hope that our team is readv
to respond to the challenge

ington this Sunday at 2:00.

East Carolina's cross country
teams continued their season last
Saturday afternoon inGreensboro.
The women finished just four
points out of first place versus
Georgia University, and the men
placed a more-than-respectable
fifth place.
"It was a great race with three
teams having a chance to win it
assistant coach Charles Justice said.
"Georgia has a strong team, as does
Furman and once again our girls ran
extremely hard
Three Lady Pirates ran their
personalbestsduring the meet. Dava
and Tara Rhodes continued to pace
the team with times of 18:15 and
18:17, respectively, good for fourth
and fifth place. Meanwhile, senior
Catherine Norstrand was putting
together her all time best with a
19:31, bringing home 17th place for
ECU.
Not to be outdone, Stacy Green
ran Saturday afternoon despite a
nagging injury that just won't seem
togoaway. Shecameinat 12thplace
in the meet with a time of 19:12.
"Stacy showed her courage

The rest of the Lady Pirates
