Those of you that plan on stalking the Great Pumpkin Halloween night may be a tad bit confused if you decide
to wait in this pumpkin patch. These pumpkins are HUGE.
Students urged to
party responsibly
By Laura Allard
Staff Writer
Greenville City Police and
ECU Campus Police are planning
a regular weekend for this Hal-
loween.
Students are encouraged to
go out Saturday night instead of
Sunday, although extra police will
be on duty both nights.
Major Simonowich, Green-
ville City police officer said, "We
have planned i normal Saturday
night only with extra man power
to compensate for the extra
people
"The streets will not be
blocked off unless the sidewalks
get too crowded and the situation
becomes unsafe
Simonowich reminds stu-
dents that all la ws will be enforced
and all students drinking in pub-
lic will be asked to hand over their
drinks and may be asked to leave.
Officers will also be patrol-
ling the areas leading to down-
town to check students on their
way downtown.
Public Safety officer Keith
Knox said, "We'll prepare for the
worst and hope for the best, like
last year
The ECU Major Events Com-
mittee is planning Midnight Mad-
ness including free food, karioke,
movies and games as an alcohol-
free alternative on Saturday night.
Admission is free from 9 p.m. until
2a.m. at Mendenhall Student Cen-
ter.
Knox "encourage(s) all stu-
dents to drink responsibly, go
about in groups of three or more,
avoid isolated areas and plan ac-
tivities in advance so you don't
end up anywhere by yourself
The Student Government
Association is also encouraging
students to celebrate on Saturday
night instead of Sunday because
at 12 a.m. Sunday morning, it's
Oct. 31 anyway.
SGA President Keith Dyer
reminds students that "if this
Halloween goes well, that's two
years in a row we will have had a
safe Halloween. That's the key to
keeping Halloween here. Students
need to remember this and try to
party responsibly
The SGA will be providing
extra security downtown. Stu-
dents will be patrolling the area
and informing police of emergen-
cies, in order to prevent fights
from escalating to the level of the
fight at the Syracuse game, and to
get help to emergencies faster.
Most of the clubs and bars
downtown are planning regular
weekends as well. They will be
open and serving alcohol, but they
are not necessarily catering to
Halloween.
By Maureen Rich
Assistant News Editor
In an effort to alleviate
problems of past years, ECU's
Student Government Associa-
tion (SGA), ECU administrators
and Greenville officials have
joined forces to provide a safe,
happy, Halloween weekend for
the entire community.
"I know we can rely on
students as we have in the past
Greenville Mayor Nancy
Jenkins said at a city hall meet-
ing Wednesday. "And, with the
cooperation between the stu-
dents, the downtown owners
and the police departments, it's
going to be a happy, joyous
Halloween. We don't anticipate
anything but a safe Halloween
However, police officials
are prepared to handle unreli-
able students, and are collabo-
rating with members of Down-
town Area Restaurants and Tav-
erns (DART) to ensure safe con-
ditions. According to the head
of DART and owner of The Elbo,
Kirby Bryson, downtcwn will
hold its Halloween festivities
Saturday night, rather than Sun-
day. Restaurants and taverns
will hold normal hours Sunday.
Jenkins said the only nega-
tive feeling she received from
the community was the thought
that perhaps such a large num-
ber of police officers was in-
timidating.
"I don't think the students
see it that way. I think they see
it as safety to protect everyone
Jenkins said.
SGA plans to have a 10-
member student patrol for both
Saturday and Sunday nights.
These individuals will be
dressed in black T-shirts with
white SGA lettering. Their job
will be to summon police in the
event of an emergency, such as
a fight or vandalism.
"We're afraid that these
people will be seen as 'tattle-
tales but they're not said SGA
president Keith Dyer. "The fo-
cus is not to reprimand but
to come and inform police
SGA recently conducted
campus speaking engage-
ments by each SGA officer re-
garding Halloween and cam-
pus safety. Dyer said these
seemed to fare successfully,
and students exhibited posi-
tive attitudes.
"We've got the best po-
lice department around, and
I think they've done an excel-
lent job in planning said
Greenville City Manager Ron
Kimball. "We've got a great
university and a great student
body and an excellent asso-
ciation downtown. We've got
some great cooperation here.
"But we don't want to
get complacent about the
situation, and we don't want
to think that just because
we've done all this planning
that everything is going to go
beautifully Kimball said.

Student attacked Monday near Joyner
My books are WHERE?
By Maureen Rich
Assistant News Editor
Picture this: Greenville,
1954. A lonely ECU student wan-
ders the dusty, yellowed stacks of
Joyner Library searching for that
one book that will give her paper
the A grade (or even a B-) it
deserves. Alas, no luck. Destroyed
and frustrated, she works with
what her meager library can af-
ford her�a few books published
in 1902, an occasional newspaper
dipping, but everyone knows how
unreliable fzose can be
Takthis article, for ex-
ample. Already, we have a typo.
The first line should read the year
7993, not f?54. Although the cir-
cumstancis can be applied to both
time periods, it seems.
In 1954, when Joyner Library
opened its doors for the first time,
the library was thought to be in-
adequate for its 2,400 students. A
few touch-ups here and there have
done little to change that consen-
sus. The difference now is that
ECU students have the opportu-
nity to demand a change.
"If a person is willing to ac-
cept that a library is the heart of
any university or college, and if
we have a growing institution that
is working very hard at getting
better and better, then it means a
heart that's going to be capable of
supporting those activities said
Joyner Library Director Dr. Ken-

For the fourth time this
month, an ECU student was as-
saulted and robbed on campus
while walking alone in an iso-
lated area Monday night. This
time, assailants attacked a female
at 11:35 p.m. This is the earliest
attack so far, and the first assault
on a female.
ECU police continue to urge
students to use common sense, as
the assailants have not been
caught yet. Walking alone, or even
in pairs, is a great risk to personal
safety. Despite repeated warn-
ings, however, students continue
to believe themselves to be invin-
cible.
"I had one student ask me,
'What if I don't want to give up
my property? said ECU police
Lt. Keith Knox. "It's that attitude
that might result in further harm
to the student. You have to ask
yourself, what's more important,
my life or my property?"
The fifth victim was accosted
while walking alone from the
parking lotbehind Joyner Library
to her residence hall. The alleged
incident took place near the out-
side stairwell located at the south-
east comer of the Joyner Library
building.
The victim was slightly in-
jured in the facial area when
thrown to the ground during a
struggle for her wallet. Her wal-
let, containing $30, was stolen,
according to police reports.
The assailants were de-
scribed as two black males, who
were last seen running toward
Slay and Umstead residence halls.
"Safety and security is an
issue that will benefit students,
faculty and visitors � everyone
on campus Knox said. "We're
doing everything we can, but
some students have the mentality
that these individuals have guns
only to scare people. It's an atti-
tude like that that leads to some-
one getting seriously hurt
ECU police continue to cau-
tion individuals about walking
alone or taking shortcuts across
campus.
"Walk in groups of three or
more, and don't let someone stray
from your group Knox said.
Police advise staying in well-lit
areas, and along well-traveled
streets. "Plan as few trips as pos-
sible Knox said. "And use Pirate
Ride
Knox said plans to put up
signs indicating Pirate Ride stops
are a possibility for the future.
Unfortunately, some indi-
viduals have abused the extra
security measures that ECU
police have provided students.
Security escorts should be re-
quested for emergencies only,
and should not be considered a
taxi service.
Frivolous calls made by
students who simply do not
want to walk in poor weather
conditions inconvenience offic-
ers who could be providing se-
curity for others in real need,
Knox said.
When patrol cars are un-
available, officers will escort in-
dividuals on-foot, Knox said.
ECU police ask that any-
one with information regard-
ing the past assaults and rob-
beries call Crime Stoppers at
758-7777 or the ECU police at
757-6787.
McDonalds' helpers
light the world
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
ECU students have filled
10,000 bags of sand during this
month. No, they were not try-
ing to stop a flood. The students
were participating in the Ronald
McDonald House's annual
"Light A Luminary" fund-
raiser.
The project involves fill-
ing white paper bags with sand
and candles. The bags, to be lit
on Christmas Eve, will be sold
to neighborhoods, churches and
individuals. Generally, the lit
candles will burn throughout
the night.
Last year, the Ronald
McDonald House sold 3,400
kits. This year, they intend to
sell 10,000 kits.
"We hope to sell three
times as many kits as last year
said Stephanie Roberson, pub-
lic relations director.
Due to the huge number of
bags that needed to be filled,
there was a tremendous need
for volunteers. Many of the vol-
unteers came from ECU and
from the Student Volunteer Pro-
gram headed by Judy Baker.
"The volunteers have been
a tremendous help said Joylyn
Hannahs, Ronald McDonald
House public relations intern
and ECU student. "We are well
ahead of schedule, thanks to
their efforts
According to Baker, the
volunteers from her program
were primarily responsible for
filling the bags. The volunteer
program set up workdays on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Be-
tween 30-40 volunteers showed
up for each of the sessions
throughout this month.
"It's always one of our fa-
vorite projects Baker said.
"We never have trouble finding
volunteers
Baker said the volunteer
program always brings stu-
dents, who don't know one an-
other closer together in "accom-
plishing an important mission
Hannahs said that stu-
dents from Alpha Delti Pi, I
Gamma Sigma Sigma, Delta p
Zeta, Pi Lambda Phi, ECU
health classes, as well as stu-
dents from the volunteer pro-
gram, have played important
roles in helping with the project. �
"The students have rallied
behind the project to assemble
the kits said Hannahs.

English professor focuses on Dracula
Defacing, propaganda upset students
Anti-semitic fliers stuffed in textbooks about Nazi war
criminals and the defacing of a black theology textbook tempo-
rarily put students and professors on edge at Cleveland State
University. Both incidents took place in late September at the
university bookstore. Someone slipped fliers containing "anti-
Holocaust" propaganda into copies of Prosecuting Nazi War Crimi-
nals, which was written by a faculty member, Alan Rosenbaum,
and used in a philosophy course, reported the Campus Marketplace,
a newsletter of the National Association of College Stores. In the
other incident, the only copy of For All My People, a textbook for a
black theology class, had three chapters cut out and a dark liquid
stained the top edges of the pages. The liquid reportedly looked
like blood, although it was not officially identified as such.
First Amendment focus of conference
Concerned about political correctness? First Amendment
issues on college campuses was scheduled to be the subject of an
Oct. 21 interactive videoconf erence at the State University of New
York at Albany. Panel members talked about hate speech, diver-
sity and controversial newspaper articles in a debate moderated
by Charlayne Hunter-Gault, national correspondent for "The
MacNeilLehrer News Hour Almost 100 colleges and universi-
ties subscribed to the videoconference, sponsored by the Public
Broadcasting Service's Adult Learning Satellite Service (ALSS)
and SUNY. The videoconference was beamed via satellite di rectly
to participating colleges for a $350 fee for non-ALSS members and
$250 for ALSS members.
Low SAT scores, 'simplified' school books linked
Declining verbal scores in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
can be attributed to simplified language in school books, a study
by a Cornell University sociologist has found. SAT verbal scores
began to fall in the 1960s, when the first Baby Boomers began
taking SATs, dropped for 16 years and have remained low ever
since. "The major 'simplifications' of American school books
came in the 1950s � not because the average American child had
suddenly become dumber, but because of changes in educational
philosophy said Donald Hayes, who developed a computer
system for measuring the difficulty of texts. "Texts were simpli-
fied to increase 'success' in reading, recognizing that this would
be at the expense of a text's 'challenge Hayes analyzed 766 texts
from 1860 to 1991. The National Enquirer and Sports Illustrated
ranked minus 10.3.

He strikes fear in the hearts
of moviegoers everywhere. He
suck?, blood, sleeps in a casket
and is afraid of crosses. He is
Dracula, Prince of Darkness, and
he is the subject of an upcoming
book by an ECU English profes-
sor.
Dr. James Holte is watch-
ing Dracula movies, not to get
into the Halloween spirit, but to
gather information for his forth-
coming book, Dracula in the Dark.
The book will be a study of film
adaptations of the legendary
vampire first popularized by
Irish novelist Bram Stoker nearly
a century ago.
Stoker's novel Dracula is
based largely on the legend of
Vlad the Impaler, Holte said.
Dracula differs, however, from
Vlad in that Dracula takes place
in a Victorian setting and the
historical Vlad lived in medieval
times.
Holte selected Dracula as
his subject because of the popu-
larity of the vampire in movies.
Dracula is central in many of the
known 500 vampire movies and
is always a favorite with his stu-
dents in his film courses.
"Whereas Frankenstein
and the Mummy come and go,
Dracula is always popular. Each
generation creates characters
that appeal to its own needs.
Dracula features eroticism and
sex appeal. He differs from the
mechanistic monster that is Fran-
kenstein Holte said.
Dracula was first seen in
silent films of the 1910s. Bela
Lugosi's immortal portrayal in
the 1930s popularized the char-
acter, creating the image of the
vampire that is still copied to-
day.
Other Draculas range from
the British series starring Chris-
topher Lee, two German
Nosferatu films, a Japanese ver-
sion with Mori Kishida, an Afri-
can-American Blacula and even
an Abbot and Costello parody.
"The Dracula character has
a very long film history, dating
back to the beginning of the me-
dium Holte said. Perhaps the
best known recent screen
Dracula is that of Francis Ford
Coppola's 1992 version.
Holte said Coppola's
Dracula lost some of the edge
that earlier films had because the
character was sexy and debonair
instead of frightening. "He's
more romantic than the Victo-
rian original and much less ter-
rifying. He gets the girl and
goes to heaven in the end.
"The main problem with
the film is that it turns Dracula
into a kind of 'Beauty and the
Beast' rather than a film of ter-
ror. I guess I'm more interested
in the scary Dracula than the
lover Dracula Holte said.
Holte has written two pre-
vious books, The Ethnic I, ana-
lyzing autobiographies of im-
migrants to America, and The
Conversion Experience in
America, dealing with recollec-
tions of dramatic religious epi-
sodes. Both were published by
Greenwood Press, which will
also publish Dracula in the Dark.
The book is scheduled for
release in 1997, to coincide with
the 100th anniversary of the
publication of Stoker's novel.

Chapter 9
I was in Burt's, downing a few
brews when the kid walked in. It
didn't really surprise me when he
walked through that door � like
father, like son, right? That is if you
believed the kid's story, which the
�jury was still out on.
The kid looked like a ghost had
�walked over his grave � or maybe
.like the ghost himself. For a 22-year-
old, he looked not a day under forty.
He was as pale as a mid-moming
3iaze, his eyes were bloodshot and
!he walked with a distinct slump in
his shoulders. .s he passed through
the red neon of the Bud sign over the
pool table, he instantly reminded
me of Al. I shook my head, trying to
dear it like a dog tries to dry itself off.
He planted himself on the stool
beside me with a thud like a stack of
newspapers hitting the sidewalk.
"Gimme a beer" he said, never look-
ing up from the cigarette and glass-
strewn floor. Burt looked at me, not
making a move until I nodded my
head. Kid looked like he could use a
beer � hell, it sure couldn't hurt
him, not in his condition.
As Burt slid the beer in front of
the kid, he moved a couple cf feet
down the bar. Burt knew I was look-
ing for Al and couldn't help but be
interested. I didn't blame him � Al
had done a lot for Burt's. That that
wasn't important, only the kid mat-
tered now.
"What's up, kid?" I said, down-
ing another swallow of beer. He
didn't answer me right away, just
kept staring into his glass like it
would tell his fortune like some side-
show gypsy. I'd had enough nights
with Al to know that it wouldn't
work; the problems only got deeper
and deeper. I'd almost thought he
hadn't heard me when he spoke in a
voice as low as the foghorn that kept
the boats off the rocks of Scotch Har-
bor.
"I don't understand it, Mick
This was the first time the kid had
used my first name, so I knew he was
in trouble. "Why'd he leave? Was it
because of me? Sometimes I wish I'd
never found out he was my father.
My life was so much simpler�now
it's turned upside-down and I don't
know what to do The kid downed
The Brewery.
A place where dreams are made and unmade, lives are turned upside
down and a drink is a drink. A place where you kept one hand on your wallet
and one eye on the guy across the street. Basically, a place
where a man can forget his troubles and drown his
sorrows for a ivhile.
Mick Hammered liad sworn never to set foot
in the Brewery again. Setting out to find his old
friend Al Cohol, Mick finds himself up to his neck
?V� in the seedy and fermented world of the Brewery.
Ss & EveryTfiursdayinTlie East Carolinian, Mick
unll meet a character who will expose Al in a whole neiv light. When it'sfinally
over and done with, Mick�and the reader�will be faced with one of the most
important questions either lias rverfaced.

his beer in one swallow and mo-
tioned for another. I nodded for Burt
to go ahead � the kid might need
one.
"Johnny Red, let me tell you a
few things about Al I figured if he
was drinking that fast, maybe I
should use his first name too. It might
make things go a little easier for him.
"First of all, it's not your fault. Blam-
ing yourself is only gonna make it
worse. Al was the way he is long
before you came along. Take my
word for it
The kid was looking at me with
a wet look in his eyes. What I didn't
need was him causing a scene so I
kept going to keep his attention.
"You're not alone, either, kid. From
what I hear, about 12-15 percent of
all kids your age go through this
same thing. Letmeguesswhatyou're
feeling. How about anger? Guilt?
Shame? Ring any bells?"
The kid whipped his head up,
looking at me like a deer looks at a
pair of headlights. He'd stopped feel-
ing sorry for himself, that was one
thing. "That's right, kid, I know
what's it like. You think that if you
behave a certain way, everything
will turn out all right. Hate to break
it to you, kid, but you got no control
over it. Al's gonna do what he's
gonna do
"Heck, I've even heard that kids
like you are more likely to use other
drugs. They're more apt to attempt
and commit suicide, more likely to
have complusive behavior � this is
no small thing, Red. Don'teven think
you're alone in this
The kid sighed and stood up
from the bar stool. "Maybe you're
right, Hammered. I guess I still got a
lot of thinking to do. I'm gonna go
home for a little bit
"Good idea, kid I threw my
arm around his shoulder and led
him out of Burt's. As I watched him
walk down the street, I lit a cigarette
just as a huge 18-wheeler pulled up.
This burly guy wearing jeans, a
denim shirt and a baseball cap with
Budweiser stenciled on it jumped
out from the cab.
"Hey, buddy. Where the hops
am I?" he bellowed.

de funds with which ECU
re the library that has
gradually faded from the campus
'Pride and Joy" list.
A significant improvement
would he to rescue about 75,000
volumes of library material from a
local warehouse commonly occu-
pied by "an occasional bird, an
occasional snake and manv hun-
gry termites, Marks said.
Those vol u mes ha ve resided
off-campus since the summer of
1990, and this year alone will cost
the university 546,000.
With a yearly cost such as
that, $184,000 has been spent stor-
ing books in a facility that has
already seen one visit from an ex-
terminator.
According to Marks, this
money comes from loyner's bud-
get, which may explain some of
the problems Joyner is currently
facing. As far as the warehoused
books are concerned, students
may request their retrieval at the
circulation desk, if they know
enough to ask.
"We have a courier go to the
warehouse twice a day Marks
said. "They identify the material,
tiring it back, and it's kept on the
hold shelf
The exiled material was not
chosen randomly, Marks said.
"What we identified, in some in-
stances, were materials that were
duplicate copies of items that we
have in our collection he said.
"In some instances it's material
that we have on Microfilm or Mi-
crofiche.
"In other cases, it's material
that has demonstrated little use
over an extended period of time
Marks said. However, students,
faculty and others often request
material from the warehouse.
! Marks said, as Murphy's
Law suggests will happen, those
books thought to be of little use
have become popular since they
were banished from campus.
Using Mark's approxima-
tions, 7.5 percent of the entire
joyner collection is in storage.
Marks said it is undetermined how
said the library can
nother study area.
i i v quite limited, and
the close quarters result in many
noi-e complaints. Marks said such
problems occur largely because of
students' inconsiderations.
While a passed bond refer-
endum does not mean the extinc-
tion of all and any gripes, it will
mean several vital changes and
improvements for a library that is
current.lv filing its university.
What exactly is wrong with
Joyner? (Taken from pamphlets
distributed at Joyner Library)
� Space allows for only
500,000 volumes, and on June 30,
Joyner's collection totaled 955,391.
� Building use exceeds 4,000
people a day, more than 500,000
people per year.
� There are only 1,184 seats
for public use.
� There are no group study
facilities.
� ECU's student body is at
nearly 18,000.
� There are only 75 graduate
student carrels, and 24 faculty
studies.
� Existing electrical and
HVAC systems available to Joyner
are inadequate to support the
growing number of personal com-
puters available for student use.
� The single elevator in the
building is often inoperable, mak-
ing collections and services un-
available to persons with disabili-
ties.
What exactly could the bond
provide?
� $28,900,000 for an addi-
tion to Joyner.
� Shelving space for more
than 1.5 million volumes of mate-
rial.
� Seats for 2,000 patfons.

tion of television programming.

Clinton delivers revamped health care plan
WASHINGTON (AP) �In-
sisting the "bottom line" on
health-care reform has not
changed, President Clinton
Wednesday released a retooled
version of his plan that puts off
the guarantee of universal cov-
erage for a year and sets limits
on federal subsidies for medical
care.
The president and his wife
and adviser, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, delivered their 1,300-
page Health Security Plan to a
cheering crowd of legislators in
the Capitol's historic Statuary
Hall Wednesday.
Clinton laid down a
straightforward challenge: "Just
one simple request: I ask that
before the Congress finishes its
work next year, you pass and I
sign a bill that will actually guar-
antee health security to every
citizen of this great country
He said his basic goal re-
mains unchanged � guarantee-
ing a standard set of benefits to
every American, calling it "my
bottom line
"When it is over, we must
have achieved comprehensive
health care security for all Ameri-
cans or the endeavor will not
have been worth the effort
Clinton said.
Still, bowing to the politi-
cal reality of the long debate
ahead, Clinton now hopes to
ensure every American is guar-
anteed a standard set of benefits
by the start of 1998.
And trying to balance com-
peting demands for more gener-
ous health coverage against calls
for tighter cost controls, Clinton
is proposing to expand benefits
in some areas while slowing the
phase-in of others. He also has
agreed to cap subsidies for small
businesses and low-income
workers.
Mrs. Clinton, signaling the
long road ahead, called the leg-
islation "a framework off of
which to work" and urged legis-
lators to subject all competing
health proposals before Congress
to the "highest level of scrutiny
She expressed hope for a
"vigorous, honest debate that
sheds light and not just heat
"This will be, for the next
month, an opportunity for all of
us to work together to go beyond
politics as usual, to make it clear
to the American people that this
president and this Congress hear
them and are committed to solv-
ing their problems in a very real
way Mrs. Clinton said.
House Speaker Thomas
Foley, D-Wash said Statuary
Hall, where five presidents were
inaugurated, "is a fitting place
for the inauguration of the
Clinton Health Security Act
Offering a preview of the
battles ahead, however, House
Minority Leader Bob Michel,
D-Ill cautioned that there are
"substantive and profound
policy differences" over how
to proceed and that today's cer-
emony was "just the beginning
of a long, tortuous process
"What we owe the people
is a promise that we will not
worry about authorship and
that we will work together on
a bipartisan basis for what is
good for Americans said Sen-
ate Republican Leader Bob
Dole.
Clinton hopes to use the
launch of his revised plan to
regain some of the momentum
he lost amid a flurry of criticism
and foreign-policy distractions
over the past month.
Doctor used untested drug
NEW YORK (AP) � A can-
cer researcher supplied an experi-
mental drug that was clandestinely
used on 16 terminally ill brain can-
cer patients, The Daily News re-
ported today.
Dr. Peter Wienvk allowed
"leftover" interleukin 2, a drug ap-
proved for treating kidney cancer
patients, to be injected into 16 pa-
tients' brain tumors at Montefiore
Hospital in 1987, The Neivs said.
Wierruk, 54, had been chair-
man of the hospital's oncology de-
partment, but was demoted when
his illicit research was exposed by
a federal investigation.
At the time of the brain ex-
periment, Wierruk had approval
from the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration only to use the drug
on kidney cancer patients, the pa-
per said.
Wierruk "knew these termi-
nally ill patients would die soon
without treatment, and that this
promising experimental treatment
was their last hope the doctor
said in court papers.
Hospital lawyer Nadia AdJer
said Montefiore was unaware of
the experiment and emphasized
there was no evidence the drug
hurt the terminally ill patients.
She said all 16 patients prob-
ably have died, but conceded the
hospital had lost track of them.
The patients had consented
to the experimental drug, TheNews
said. But they were not told that
the FDA had not approved of the
drug for brain cancers.
Wierruk finally confessed to
his illicit experiment in May 1992,
but struck a deal with prosecutors
last June. The charges are to be
dropped in December if he gave
full details of the testing and
coverup.
Weirnik refused to be inter-
viewed by Tlte News. He is still
associate director of the Albert
Einstein Cancer Center, the paper
said.

Gunman angry over Bosnia
Bos
� i amed and cowered
under tables as the man opened fire
wildly with a pistol Tuesday night
in the hotel coffee shop overlooking
the Nile River. He also wounded an
American, an Italian and a Svriah.
The shooting came as Egyp-
tian tourism was beginning to re-
cover from losses as high as 80 per-
cent brought on by a bloody cam-
paign by Islamic extremists to topple
the secular government.
An Interior Ministry state-
ment said the gunman, identified as
Saber Farhat Abu el-Ela of Cairo,
confessed to firing with a gun that
belonged to his father. It made no
mention of a motive but said Abu
el-fci was dismissed from the army
as mentally unfit.
The government-run daily Al
Gomhuria said Abu el-Ela told po-
lice that he was avenging the kill-
ings of Muslim children, the rape of
women and the destruction of
mosques in Bosnia.
Al-Ahram, also a government
paper, quoted witnesses as saying
he shouted "God is great and slo-
gans about Bosnia. If true, it could
suggest a link with the wave of
Muslim extremist violence that has
plagued Egypt.
But 1st Lt. Hany Fawzi of the
nearby Garden City police station
said the report that he shouted slo-
gans was unconfirmed.
Some of the victims were law-
yers attending a convention on pe-
nal law at the Semiramis Inter-Con-
tinental Hotel, where the shooting
occurred about 1 p.m.
The U.S. Embassy identified
the dead Americans as Coby
Hoffman, in his 40s, and Robert
Guidi. Embassy officials said both
men were from New Jersey but had
no further details.
They refused to identify the
wounded American, citing U.S. pri-
vacy laws. He reportedly was shot
in the hip.
In Paris, the French victim was
identified as Fernand Boulan, 54, a
former dean of law and political
science at the University of Aix-en-
Provence.
Boulan, mayor of
Chateauneuf-le-Rouge near
Marseille, was said to be attending
the convention.
The wounded Italian, identi-
fied as Luigi Daga, 46, an Italian
Justice Ministry official attending
the conference, was in a coma with
a head wound.
TheSyrian, whose namecould
not be confirmed, was in serious
condition.

Bryson said. "Everyone's ready

Bryson emphasized.
"That's what we've told

rather than going downtown
Bryson said.
Bryson said there are no
costume parties or contests
downtown this weekend.
Greenville police plan to
contact area apartment manag-
ers, also.
This was done in the past,
as a precautionary measure to
assure open communication and
cooperation with Greenville po-
lice.
Daylight Savings Time pre-
sents Greenville with a unique
situation.
The normal closing time for
taverns downtown is 2 a.m but
Daylight Savings Time pushes
the clocks back one hour at ex-
actly 2 a.m. This circumstance
will ultimately prevent every-
one from emptying into the
streets of Greenville at the same
time. While Taverns will remain
Continued from page 1
open for that extra hour,
people are encouraged to
gradually move on.
Mendenhall's Midnight
Madness will remain open
until 3 a.m which actually
means an extra hour provided
by Daylight Savings.
The SGA, ECU and
Greenville officials remind
students that responsible be-
havior will result in contin-
ued yearly Halloween festivi-
ties, but this is a privilege stu-
dents and visitors have not
always enjoyed. Prior to last
year, the downtown area was
closed for three years because
of increased violence and van-
dalism.
Students are also re-
minded of the several assaults
and robberies that have re-
cently occurred on campus.
Students should use
common sense, and always
stay in groups of three or more
for their protection.

And it's sad, in a way, because adults

Lefties accident-prone, backward geeks
Just recently, a friend of
mine brought a problem to my
attention. He said that it is dis-
criminatory that there are so few
desks in GCB for left-handed
students. I told him that I had
never really thought about it
and I asked him if he was left-
handed. In fact, this friend is
right-handed but he still feels
that this lack of lefty desks is
unfair. So, here's the article that,
apparently, I should have writ-
ten last week.
I am left-handed and, until
my friend mentioned it, I didn't
feel slighted in the least by the
right-handed world in which I
live. Since our conversation, I
have thought a lot about how
left-handedness is more than a
matter of which hand a person
writes with; it is also a hindrance
in a world that unconsciously
discriminates against lefties.
Left-handers or, as my fa-
ther says, southpaws, make up
10 percent of the population.
According to a 1991 issue of
Health magazine, left-handers
are more prone to autoimmune
diseases and are more likely to
have been born prematurely. In
fact, a 1991 study provided evi-
dence that lefties die an average
of nine years earlier than right-
handers. This nine-year dispar-
ity has been questioned but evi-
dence does seem to support find-
ings that left-handed people
don't live as long as right-
handers.
One of the reasons for this
variation in mortality rates is
that left-handers tend to be more
accident prone. In a world that
is designed primarily for the
right of hand, left-handedness
can sometimes be a health haz-
ard. If this sounds strange to
you, as it did to me�I am in a
state of denial because I simply
don't want to admit that my left-
handedness might lead to my
ultimate demise�then think
about this: Automobiles, espe-
cially stick shifts, are designed
for right-handers. There's a se-
rious potential for accidents
here. I drive a stick shift and just
ask anyone who's ever ridden
with me; I can't stay off of those
curbs.
Until my friend, we'll call
him Rob, told me that he was
troubled by the lack of left-
handed desks, I had been living
in a state of denial. I had sup-
pressed the oppression that I
have suffered all of my left-
handed life at the hands of the
rights.
Up until the early twenti-
eth century, left-handedness
was considered abnormal and
evil. Children who showed a
tendency towards leftiness were
"educated out of it they were
forced to use their right hands.
After it became apparent that
this use of force could be psy-
chologically damaging, it was
discontinued, but the implica-
tions are still with us today.
When I first learned to
write, I wrote backwards. My
name looked like this:
" ARUAL It took me a long time
to learn to write "correctly" and
my family thought that I had
dyslexia. The truth of the matter
is that I was writing in a way
that is natural for lefties�from
right to left instead of from left
to right. I had to learn to write
unnaturally in order to write
"right
I had to quit taking ballet
because I always did the steps
with the wrong feet. I moved
in the wrong direction. The
same was true of tennis; I was
impossible to teach because the
instructor couldn't understand
why, out of 10 students, I was
the only one who did every-
thing backwards. I held the
racquet in the wrong hand.
Even now I can't follow direc-
tions and I get lost on my way
home from campus. I really
can't find my way out of a pa-
per bag�I have no sense of
direction.
While these things may
not send me to an early grave
(I'm not going to kill myself
because I never learned how to
play tennis), I'm sure that
they've had an effect on my
psychological make- up. I think
that I internalized those no-
tions of "backwardness" and
"wrongness" that are linked to
left-handedness. I think that
using those green left-handed
scissors in kindergarten pre-
pared me to suffer.
While I'm still not too of-
fended that there aren't a whole
lot of left-handed desks in GCB
(I don't mind knocking elbows
with the right-handed major-
ity), I hope that at least this
column will provide support
to an accident prone minority.
Remember, you may be a lefty,
but you have rights. You may
not get much respect, but at
least you can buy left-handed
notebooks.

Gun bans fail to focus on real problems
We all know about the ter-
rible rash of crimes on our cam-
pus in the past few weeks. By
the time that you read this, hope-
fully these criminals will have
been arrested. These incidents
bring home the point that our
criminal justice system is in need
of urgent reform.
The only solution to the
crime problem is to get the crimi-
nals off the street. We need more
police, more prisons and more
courts to handle the increased
caseload.
Too many dangerous fel-
ons, like the young man accused
of killing James Jordan, are be-
ing released due to overcrowd-
ing.
This individual served less
than two years after perma-
nently disabling someone with
an ax blow to the head. People
this violent should never see the
streets again.
We need to recognize
crime for what it is: a war
against society. In war you do
not disarm your allies; instead,
you attack your enemy.
No other solution will
work. Simply banning guns will
not stop crime. We already have
gun control here; it is illegal to
have guns on campus. But for
some reason, even with the law,
these darn criminals just will
not obey the law.
Americans use guns almost
a million times a year to protect
themselves, their homes and
their loved ones from criminals.
Over 2,000 felons are killed and
8,000 to 16,000 wounded every
year by private citizens in self
defense (more than three times
as many as by the police).
Polls of criminals have re-
peatedly shown that most
avoided people they had con-
sidered robbing, because they
knew, or feared, that their vic-
tims were armed.
While gun control advo-
cates can point to studies which
suggest that gun control would
be effective, they cannot point
to a case where it has ever
brought about a reduction in
crime.
Instead, gun control has
often resulted in an increase in
crime, as criminals are give
free reign to prey upon a help-
less populace.
In 1976 Washington, D.C.
passed one of the most restric-
tive gun control laws in the
country; by 1982, violent crime
had risen 43, murders 14.
The national average for the
same period were 20 and 3,
respectively.
One measure that has
worked is mandatory penal-
ties for using firearms during
a crime. In 1975, both Virginia
and South Carolina passed
such laws. In the next 11 years
Virginia's murder rate
dropped 38, South
Carolina's 41.
The fact of the matter is
that absolute gun control is
impossible. We cannot control
the flow of drugs in our coun-
try.
If we completely banned
guns, does anybody really be-
lieve that we could keep them
out of the hands of the en-
emies of society?

all aglow at the idea of stripping away
layers of clothes and lying in flower-cov-
ered fields and absorbing sunlight like a
solar battery. They head toward the beach
in their convertibles, radios blasting away,
bodies covered in gunk to keep their skin
from drying up, and they, kids especially,
generally create lots of noise. The seasons
of sunshine are noisy and busy and they
love it.
I think they're all nuts, myself.
Fall isn't about all that commotion,
all that activity. The period from October

a lack of motion. Animals sleep, and we as
humans rightfully should but, with the
scheduling of professional and college
football, who can sleep?

Well, Vincent paved the way for all

To the Editor
I was troubled to read the Oct. 21 letter by Lee
Judge, program manager of the campus radio station
because Mr. Judge seems to strike out angrily and even
vindictively at several targets: The East Carolinian, Mark
Brett's Oct. 19 letter about ZMB, and previous coverage
of ZMB.
He claims that he was slandered he really means
libelled, I assume by The East Carolinian. If he can show
where the EC says anything that defames his character,
he should certainly point it out. He seems most upset at
Mr. Brett for having expressed an opposing viewpoint;
there is no libel involved in arguingforalternativemusic.
He claims that the EC ran this without having
interviewed anyone at ZMB. This is simply not true: if
you'll go back to the Oct. 7 article, you'll find it full of
quotes from Beth Arthur, manager of ZMB. Mr. Brett's
letter responds very specifically to her sta tements in tha t
article.
On the question of alternative music, Mr. Judge is
confusing. To start, he defensively states that he has
several alternative pieces in his personal music collec-
tion. I fail to see what this has to do with programming
policy. And then he closes by hintingatsomethingto the
effect that he thinks ZMB should cater to popular taste.
So, is he for a popular format or not?
Traditionally, college radio stations have played
alternative music, so much so that "college music" has
become synonymous with "alternative BillboardMaga-
zine even carries a special chart for it, and, closer to
home, it's in the sta tion charter tha t it not compete with
commercial stations. In other words, it's not a question
of "what ECU students want to hear if most people
listen to WRDU, that doesn't mean that ZMB should
suddenly imita te RDU. They both have different func-
tions and survive because they fit thex niches.
Beyond this manifest confusion�which I find
troubling in itself for anyone who has taken composi-
tion, not to mention is program manager at a radio
station�I am deeply disturbed by the vindictiveness
Mr. Judge expresses toward Mr. Brett. This vindictive-
ness is perhaps best exemplified by a quick parentheti-
cal comment by Mr. Judge: "First of all Mr. Brett is (and

I believe that Mr. Judge has gone beyond the pale,

LAURA You don't look, you
know? But you said you liked
conversation. You are tired of
pantomime? Dialogues seen but
not heard. An action will speak
for a word. Arbitrary remarks
that keep you in the dark. Ges-
tures of the hand and face that
make you wonder are you or are
you not commanding up close
and from a distance. Would you
like to go out? Well, people in
situations can be true and real,
fake and ideal. Be different ar-
chetypes and forms, can go in
and out of standards and norms.
Be plain and sane, can change
and be strange. You approached
and it did not seem you wanted
to flee almost simultaneously.
Are you tired of breaking apart?
You hate being a dart? You don't
seem to be seeking hard targets.
I don't know. I am for cool run-
ning, not the clever and cunning.
Would you like to go out, sit and
drink, talk and think? Pool? We
could talk about this and that,
but because both can appear like
each we must strive for clarity.
Let me know. Mr. Jones.

"The artist has a special task and
dutv: the task of reminding men
andwomen of their humanity and
the promise of their creativity
�Lewis Mumford
In the past 30 years, a revolution
has swept over America.
No, it has nothing to do with
politics, world affairs or evensports�
itis magazines. Although these maga-
zines deal with many political ideas,
this is not to suggest that these are
widely accepted thoughts that use
the "small press" as a vehicle for
expression
According to the World of
ZiHcs,(written as shown) there are
about 10,000 underground zines, and
the combined readership is over a
million people.
"A revolution in technology has
inspired an amazing surge of free
expression and cultural ferment cre-
ating the world of zines: thousandsof
small publications which are pro-
duced primarily for love ;ather than
money said Mike Gunderloy, edi-
tor of tlie World of Zines.
Greenville nas made its way into
the "zine world with about eight
(known)publicationsforsale.Aquick
glance into these magazines gives
you insight into a world the mass
media refuses to adequately cover.
Perhaps it is best that these publica-
tions stay somewhat underground,
because mass media tends to exploit
whatthey report and tumitintoafad.
Eponymous Bookstore (located
downtown), carries an entire rack of
local expression. Each magazine has
a differentemphasis,anditoften takes
a couple of hours to digest all of the
literature and art.
"If a publication is visually ap-
pealing, people tend to buy it, or at
least pick it up and explore it said
Rebecca Ives, owner of Eponymous
Bookstore. "Also if people know the
individuals behind the publications,
they will come in looking for-so-and
so's latest release
Here is a quick sampling of the
zines that can be found at Epony-
mous: Hot Flash, larks Tongueln Fluke
Juke, M. Kat, Trill, Scratch Yourself and
W: Times, tlmarea clwngin Most of
the publications are put together by
ECU students and Greenville resi-
dents.
Each zine has a different focus.
Some of them rely solely on text and
art, while others use magazine clip-
pings,comics,satiricaladvertisements
and prose. There is something for
everyone in free-expression that is
anyone.
If youhavesomething tosay and
you don't mind not making any
money, the best way to speak your
mind is to submit to a zine or start one
of your own.
NC State Zoo
opens new exhibit
By Stephanie Tullo
Staff Writer
The ECU Video Yearbookis
a great idea; it demonstrates a change
from the print year book Although it
lacks some of the detail the print year
book would have, it exemplifies the
technology that is breaking through
into society. This year's yearbook will
be rather different from its predeces-
sor, as it will be altered in a variety of
ways.
This year it consists of three
main sections: Pirate Life, Pirate Or-
ganizations and Pirate Sports. Each
main section will include subsections
focusing on many things that occur
onrheECUCampus-Themainrheme
is "Reflections of ECU Treasures
The yearbook staff studied other
schools'ideasfortheiryearbooksand
came up with many new ideas.
All the events covered in the
yearbook will be shown in chrono-
logical order, starting from thebegin-
ningdaysofschoolasshownin Pirate
Life, which is the day in the life of a
student, to the brilliant finale of the
school year. Pirate Life will show
events such as, registration, the won-
derfuUy admired parking tickets,aca-
demics, intramurals and let's not for-
get the downtown scene.
The next section is Pirate
Organizations. It will include social
organizations such as theGreekStaca-
demics and organizations associated
with one's major. This year there will
be an equalfocusonall of these differ-
ent organizations. The last section,
Pirate Sports, will cover the vast num-
ber of sports that take place here on
campus.
The tape this year runsabout
an hour in length, and instead of
music, natural sound will be used,
such as students talking, quotes and
much, much more. A character gen-
erator will also be used to display
words on the screen throughout the
video.
Stephen Lewis, the Execu-
tive Producer of the yearbook, has
many hopes for this year's Video
Yearbook. "We leam from our expe-
riences,andlexpect this Year's Video
Yearbooktobebetterthanlastyears
says Lewis. The yearbookstaff wants
to be able to tape as many events as
possible throughout the school year.
So if any organization has upcoming
events, please feel free to contact the
yearbookstaff.They canbe contacted
either by calling r1-e Communication
Office in RagsdJ ! or by leaving a
message at the Treasure ChestOffice,

X-Men turn 30, don't age well
By Cliff Coffey
Staff Writer
TheX-Men have turned 30 (Holy
Cow!) and Marvel is making a big
deal about it, as they do with every-
thing anymore.
When Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
started the book, it had limited suc-
cess�just enough to keep it going.
The replacements came in just as the
comic was on it's last leg, living only
as a reprint title. Marvel had begun
reprinting old issues of the X-Men in
the new issues. Along came Len
Wein, Chris Claremont and Dave
Cockrum to save it. They were re-
sponsible for Giant Sized X-Men 7
,which introduced a new set of X-
Men. They wanted to replace the
comy,outdatedX-Men,andthatwas
the spark they needed.
QaremontandCockrum began
their stay on the X-Men with issue
94, the first new material to appear
on the title in a few years. Cockrum
left and John Byrne signed on as the
artist. Soon, the X-Men became the X-
Men, the comic renowned for not
only dramatic storylines, (such as
the infamous "Dark Phoenix" arc)
but also for a new standard of comic
art, crafted by Byrne and inker Terry
Austin. Byrne and Claremont took
the title from fledgling status to make
it the Lest-selling comic in the na-
tion.
ThesourceoftheX-Men'spopu-
larity lay in the continual sub-plot
concerning "mutanthysteria a race-
relations allegory wherein normal
humans feel threatened by stereo-
types of mutants as destructive and
evil. This hysteria was reinforced by
the actions of the X-Men's enemies,
particularly Magneto and the Broth-
erhood of Evil Mutants. In fact, a
popular facet of The X-Men is that of
a future wherein our heroes are
hunted and mutants in general are
killed through whatmaybedeemed
"ethnic (or genetic) cleansing.
Though Byrne left after 32 is-
sues, Claremont stayed on, taking
the book to new heights with such
fan-favorite artists as John Romita,
Jr, Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee. Until
issue279,Claremontstee'ed the lives
ofthewaywardmutantswithmonu-
mental success. After brief writing
stints by Lee, Byrne and Fabian
Nacienza, the title was taken over by
Scott Lobdell, who currently scripts
their adventures.

The North Carolina Zoo has
its first new exhibit in almost a
decade. It is called the Sonora
Desert exhibit, and it features all
the animals and the habitats of the
desert in the
Southwestern
United States.
All of the ani-
mals were trans-
ported right from
the Sonora
Desert, and spe-
cies include
rattlesnakes, liz-
ards, road run-
ners and many
more. The 14,000
square foot facil-
ity cost 4.1 mil-
lion dollars and
took years of
planning. The
exhibit is covered
by a domed roof
made up of hun-
dreds of glass
panels to filter sunlight. The Sonora
exhibit features many different
habitats. Inhabitantsof the Sonoran
flatlands include animals such as
igaunas and roadrunners. The
Sagauro uplands areas feature the
tall Sagauro cactus and many other
types of cacti. One of the most in-
teresting animals seen in this habi-
tat is the gila monster, a grey and
pink poisonous foot-long lizard
that should be a crowd favorite.
Flying around the dome are
many different species of birds
common to the Sonoran desert. The
exhibit also has an area showing
the desert at night because many
popular species, including scor-
pions and bats, come out at night.
The zoo used a special computer-
ized lighting system that can re-
verse day and night for animals.
This was done since most desert
animals are only active at night
because of high
daytime tern
peratures.
The zoo -
gives you a good
chance to enjoy
the new
Sonoran Desert
exhibit along
with the week-
end events of
"BooattheZoo"
on Oct. 30 and
31. "Boo at the
Zoo" is a
halloween cel-
ebration with
many different
events for chil-
dren and adults.
For children,
there is a
halloween costume contest and
trick or treating around the zoo.
For adults, "Boo" will feature an
African storyteller who will per-
form tales about African animals,
spirits and tribal rituals. "Boo at
the Zoo" starts at noon and runs
until 6 p.m. in the zoo plaza. The
storyteller begins at 7 p.m.
All the events are free with
zoo admission of $6 for adults and
$4 for children. The zoo is located
onZooParkwayinAsheboro,N.C.
Go and see the only desert inNorth
Carolina at the new Sonora desert
exhibit at the zoo.

No Biting
�
You know how a lot of girls look
sexy when they wear men's clothes?
Thaf s cool. But what about when
men wear women's clothes? My
nephew calls them sissies. Anyway,
Paul Plagens, singer for Greta, wears
dresses on stage. I think it makes a
swell statement
Greta's debut album, No Biting,
isanalbumthatunleashesthegroup's
many facets. The group mashes to-
gether 50s, 60s and 70s pop with the
metal edge of the 80s and gets a
unique sound that changes, not un-
like a chameleon, on every track. That
sound�Plagens'precisevocals,Kyle
Baer's power chords, Josh Gordon's
thumpamaniac bass and Scott
Carneghiontheskins�isdestined to
become known as the Greta sound!
Let me tell you, I was listening to
this album outside while playing
some roundball, and do you know
what I was able to do? I stood at the
foul line, threw the ball off the
backboard, caught it in mid-air and
BOOM! I slammed it! Now, it ain't
every CD that makes you do that! Of
course, my rim is only nine feet high.

our world, is the first track, and what

thunders with its fast, heavy self; in

with "Off the Slug a hot number
that utilizes dirty-wordies to talk
about the angst, the drama, the psy-
chosis thatdrives the American male:
"Nobody can call him a queerHe's
got abig fat belly and it's full of beer
He's going to prove to the world that
he's not afraid You're not a real true
man unless you're getting laid So
sad, so true in this image-laden ma-
cho man's world.
Greta jams. I jam. If you jam, we
can jam together to Greta. It's about
being a man, man, and I think that's
why he wears a dress, because even
though the album is loaded with the
hypocrisies forced upon us by the
white patriarchal society, it addresses
the duality of humanity; Greta
adresses both sides of sexuality. We
are all Yin and Yang and we are
Greta's message.

Annette: A Musical
Reunion
mm m m
Look here. If I open up a boxed
set and the CD jewel boxes are pink
and green, I know I'm in for a good
time. Sure! Anyway, what are the
firstrhreelettersinAnnetteFunioello's
last name? Right! F-U-N! And fun is
what the Annette Funicelio boxed
set, Annette: A Musical Reunion with
America's Girl Next Door, is all about
Ithinkweallknowwho Annette
is. She's the only Mouseketeer per-
sonally signed by Walt Disney. She
was the essence of the Mickey Mouse
Club, receiving more fan mail than
Cubby, Darlene, Jimmy, Bobby and
Spanky combined! Wow! And guys
even proposed to her through the
mail! Wowsers!
But you can get all that swell
information and more in the nifty 44-
page book that comes in the two-CD
set. I know what you care about the
music. And boy howdy, whatneato-
keeno m usic it is! The songs are about
lifeandloveandhappiness and youth
and golly! They're so optimistic! I'm
OK, you're OK
The first track is "Tall Paul a
nutty little wholesome love song
about this really cool guy that all the
gals dig. The duo-tracking
synthesization used on Annette's
voice really achieves an unparalleled
height here as Annette hits the high
notes. You'll justflipfor"I.ucky Lucky
LuckyMe'Youll recognize this track
I think, andit'sone rhatreally touches
the nucleus of the human condition.
"Don't Jump to Conclusions
my favorite cut in the whole set, is a
song rhatbelongs ineverybody's col-
lection The title says it all, as Annette
warns us of the folly of our ways and
admonishes us to think twice before
wegetall riled up aboutthangs. Very
catchy tune.
Now, don't get me wrong, there
are some silly little ditties in hre, but
don't they pop up in all the boxed
sets? Like "It Took Dreams a num-
ber that practically gushes the pre-
adolescent Disney ideology. But
there's too many gems to let the occa-
sional bad apple spoil the whole
bunch.

Beverly Hillbillies' overextends TV sitcom
films
im the popular televi-
and puts them i:
minute story that serves as nothing
more than a platform horn which
jokes can spring.
The Clampett clan, for those
who may not have ever seen the
long-running television show, con-
sists of Jed (Jim Varney of Ernest
fame), Granny (Cloris Leachman
of Rhoda" fame), Elly May (Erika
Eleniak of "Bayzvatch " and Playboy
fame) and cousin Jethro Bodine,
(Diedrich Bader, a Hollywood new-
comer).
The story can be paraphrased
from the song that used to open
each television episode. One dav,
while Jed was shooting at some
food, bubbling crude arose from
the ground. The crude turned out
to be oil, and Jed became a billion-
aire. He decided, on the advice of
his kinfolk, to move his family to
-Beverly Hills, so that his daughter,
Efly May, could learn how to be a
"refined lady.
The Clampetts put their money
in Milburn Drysdale's bank
(Dabney Coleman). Drysdale al-
lows his secretary, Jane Hathaway
(Lily Tomlin), to take care or the
Clampetts. The rest of the film de-
tails the scheming of two shysters
Lea I homp-
. mar-
ike -ill his
is subplot, like the vain
attempt of the Uncle Fester sub-
s n DieAddamsFamily,rapidly
� ars thin and then wears on the
viewer's nerves. Considering that
the characters were already in
place, m mind could not compre-
hend whv four screenwriters were
unable to create anything more
original or interesting than this stu-
pid subplot.
Hillbilly jokes abound in this
film and make the experience of
watching The Beverly Hillbillies less
disagreeable. One especially funny-
gag has a hillbilly wondering if
"cousin Bill" will attend Jed's wed-
ding. The next shot shows the White
House, and a voice says: "Hillary,
where did we put that invitation?"
Still the few good jokes in this tired
film cannot lead to a recommenda-
tion.
Despite the stale story, some
positive aspects of the film should
be noted. Dolly Parton, singing a
song for Jed's birthday, makes a
' pleasant cameo. Lily Tomlin steals
the show from the other actors by
infusing a great deal of warmth
and humor into her role as Jane
Hathaway. This character, thanks
to Tomlin, is the only participant in
the story who seems to rise above
the cardboard caricatures from the
series. A cameo by Buddy Ebsen
(Jed in the television series) as
Barnaby Jones also adds a nice
touch.
Penelope Spheeris, the director
of Wayne's World, tries her hand at
d irecting another movie-from-tele-
vision. She handles 77k Broerly Hill-
billies in much the same way that
she didWayne'sWorld. She uses
many of the same limited camera
a ngles beca use o f the confined space
of a television screen. Thus the film
looks staged and more like a televi-
sion show than a grand Hollywood
production.
The trouble with this approach
is that Spheeris ignores the possi-
bilities of film. She disregards all
the wonderful aspects of cinema
that make it superior to television.
She uses only the center portion of
the screen thus ensuring an easy
transfer to video (shrewd thinking
if your only concern is money).
Though some special effects are
used, the stunts and sets look no
different from the ones employed
for the television show. Perhaps this
was intentional, but the choice was
surely made for financial reasons
rather than artistic ones.
Spheeris keeps her characters
ardently modeled after the televi-
sion show and thus permits no
growth throughout the film.
Though character gi owth certainly
need not occur in a light-weight
comedy like this one, keeping the
characters so confined makes them
appear as blown-up, small screen
images. Tomlin's exuberant
Hathaway only exaggerates just
how stale and small the other char-
acters are.
All these complaints center
around artistic intentions. Surely
the filmakers knew they had a
sure-fire hit if only they did not
tamper with a proven formula.
This same thinking ruins most
sequels. In the case of a televi-
sion show, the reason the show
aired on small screens instead of
large ones is that the ideas were
suited to the small screen. The
trend to try to elevate low-brow
entertainment to attract a high-
brow audience is deplorable. If I
want to see old television shows
I can watch Nick at Nite.
Where have all the screen-
writers gone? Gone to sequels
and television remakes, every-
one.
This holiday season The
Flinstones is sla ted for release, and
Wayne's World II is in production.
Will this trend ever stop? Only if
the movie-going crowd wants it
to stop. So all civic-minded, level-
headed cinematic aficionados
stay clear of television series on
the silver screen. A message needs
to be sent to Hollywood that,
though film industry minds may
be turning to oatmeal, film fans'
minds are definitely not.
As far as The Beverly Hillbil-
lies is concerned and most other
movies culled from the buried
remains of dead television
shows�JUST SAY NO!
On a scale of one to 10, The
Beverly Hillbillies rates a four.

Halloween at Mendenhall
By Laura Jackman
Staff Writer
If you're looking for something
different to do this Halloween, then
you'll find the perfect alternative
at Mendenhall Student Center.
The ECU Major Events Com-
mittee is sponsoring its second an-
nual Midnight Madness to offer
students a safe, nonalcoholic Hal-
loween, free of charge.

According to the Recreation
Services Marketing Director,
Jeanette Roth, over 3,000 students
attended last year's Halloween
bash. "It was such a great time
last year that we're expecting an
even bigger turnout this year
Roth said. "There's so much go-
ing on that it's almost like a fair
Admission to the Midnight
Madness is free with a valid ECU
ID, and each student is allowed to
bring one guest. There is no re-

loween, make it fun and safe.
Get psyched for Fountain
By Steve Griffin
Staff Writer
The band Fountain of Youth is
back in Greenville for back to back
nights at the Attic on Thursday and
O'Rock's on Friday.
The band has been busy tour-
ing around N.C. and outside the
state. Recently they played at Club
Zero in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and
Radford, V. A which the band said
was one of their favorite shows.
Fountain Of Youth has also
been busy recording a new CD
with their new guitarist Robin Smith
from the band Kill Kids. The CD
will come out before the end of the
fall semester and lead singer Troy
Yarborough said the big reason for
doing a 7" CD is to send it around
jhe country for radio play.
I One of Fountain of Youth's
.songs was recently played on a top
25 list by a popular N.Y. radio sta-
tion. The two new songs on the CD
will be a song called "Velocity Girl"
and "Rainbow "Velocity Girl" is
about a girl coming to Greenville
and making the best out of it, so it
should hit home with a lot of locals.
Both songs have a good drive to
them and the band said their music
has matured since the last album,
A Moody Groove Fo You
I Many havedescribed Fountain
of Youth as "funk music" but thev
vould like to change that image.
"We listened to and are influence
by old funk music, but we are out to
make our own sound now
lYarbourough said.
Fountain of Youth has been to-
ge ther for two years (ever since they
got to Greenville). They have be-
come very well known in Green-
ville and other parts of North Caro-
lina with their trademark t-shirts
and daisy stickers posted every-
where.
"Greenville has been really
good to us with people, record stores
and WZMBbacking us all the way
Yarbourough said.
Fountain of Youth has been so
successful is their addition of a little
bit of groove to their alternative
sound. The drummer Billy Cuthrell
said they "do not want to overplay
in Greenville so they have been
able to travel around and write new
material. Now they should be ready
to put on two big shows on Thurs-
day and Friday in Greenville with all
this added experience and maturity.
The band will be playing with two
bandsattheAtticonThursdaynight,
Blunt and Rockhouse from New
Fountain of Youth
York City and a hip-hop band Not So
Dandelions, from Raleigh, NC
Make sure you go check out the
new and improved sounds of Foun-
tain of Youth this weekend.

IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS
EXPENSIVE, TRY PUTTING YOURSELF
THROUGH RETIREMENT.
Think about supporting yourself for
twenty-five, thirty years or longer
in retirement. It might be the greatest
financial test you'll ever face. Fortunately,
you have one valuable asset in your
favor. Time.
Time to take advantage of tax-deferral.
Time for your money to grow.
But starting early is key. Consider this:
if you begin saving just $100 a month at
age thirty, you can accumulate $154,031
by the time you reach age sixty-five.
Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside
$211 a month to reach the same goal.
At TIAA-CREF we not only under-
stand the value of starting early, we
can help make it possible�with flexible
retirement and tax-deferred annuity
plans, a diverse portfolio of investment
choices, and a record of personal
service that spans 75 years.
Over a million people in education
and research are already enrolled in
America's largest retirement system.

Miiner opened rus shop inQcto-
berl991 with students in mind. Even
in high school, he knew th.it his goal
in life w.is to own his own business.
He wanted to "give customers the
best products and sen. ice, for the
best price" He believes that is why
students are his best customers.
Miiner bases his philosophy on
past experiences. At the time he was
planning on opening his shop, there
was only one other t'ul-service tan-
ning salon in GreenvUle, and he felt
the staff was unfriendly and that the
prices were too high. Miiner and his
staff go out of their way to be per-
sonal with all their customers, and to
otter competitive prices to tit every
budget.
Miiner also believes the secret
to his success is that people these
days are being ca reful not to overex-
pose themselves to too much radia-
tion. Tanning beds provide a con-
trolled amount ot iignt which the
sun does not. Because the sun gives
Zone
rates birthday
th L A and L B rays in in-
tent amounts, people often
d damage their skin. What
ibout tanning beds is that
ej balance these two types of rays
to prevent burning and skin dam-
age.
The fanning Zone is certified
with the state of North Carolina,
which means it must comply with
certain regulations It provides ev-
ery customer with a clean pair of
goggles, a fresh towel and a steril-
ized bed beforeeach use. Each room
is equipped with fans, deodorant,
tissues and a mirror. Miiner warns
that only a full-service salon has to
follow these requirements. Gyms
with beds usually do not.
Miiner attends an annual con-
ference to learn the latest in technol-
ogy, products, trends and regula-
tions. "1 go the extra mile for my
customers by keeping them con-
stantly updated on any changes
Miiner said.
Like many other things, tan-
ning should be done with modera-
tion, and damage will only occur
with repeated overexposure.
"You can tan anywhere, but
nothing compares to'our service,
friendliness and cleanliness said
Miiner, with a smile.
With that in mind, the Tanning
Zone will probably see many more
birthdavs.

LOS ANGELES (AP) �
Vincent Price, whose gaunt face
and creepy voice put chills in such
thrillers as 77k Room and House of
Wax, was a modern-day Renais-
sanceman who dedicated his life to
the arts, friends and relatives say.
Price died Monday night at his
Hollywood Hills home after a five-
year struggle with lung cancer. He
was 82.
"I think it's going to be a big
loss because he gave so much
through all the characters he
played said comedian Milton
Berle, who knew Price from the
actor's appearances on Berle's
Texaco Star Theater in the 1950s.
"He was one of the finest ac-
tors, besides being one of the most
charming gentlemen I ever met
Berle said.
Price was amused by his repu-
tation as the perfect villain.
"I'm not the least bit disap-
pointed that I'm remembered pri-
marily for my horror roles he
said in 1985.
From the beginning of his film
career in 1938, Price appeared in a
variety of films, from the sublime
(Laura, The Ten Commandments) to
the ridiculous (Dr. Goldfootand the
Bikini Machine).
Priceexploited his reputation
as a villain by contributing a
ghostly voice to Michael Jackson's
hit record, Thriller, playing the
creator of Edward Scissorlwmls in
the 1990 film and hosting the PBS
series "Mystery" during the 1980s.
But family members and
friends remembered Price as a
warm man who cared passion-
ately about the arts.
"Some people remember him
for the horror movies or the tele-
vision shows, but his mission in
life and the thing he believed in
was the power of the arts the

Price performed in several

I heater In 1938 he married his first
wife, actress Edith Barrett, on the
theater's stage.
That same year, Price moved
to Hollywood, where remained
thereafter. Under contract to 20th
Century Fox, he proved a valuable
cha racter actor in such films as Song
of Bcmadette, Wilson, The Eve of St.
Mark, Leave Her to Heaven and
Dragonwyck.
As a free-lance actor, he ap-
peared in a wide variety of films,
including Up in Central Park, Abbott

As when Lee and Kirby left, the
X-Men has been lacking a captive
storytellingessence. Instead of well-
planned plots that are thought-pro-
voking and compelling, there are
only quick flashes of stories with a
lot of action thrown in. The charac-
ters that readers grew to love are
now unrecognizable to long time
readers, and the nostalgic memo-
ries of the X-Men aren't enough to
continue reading the title.

The History of the Citibank
Classic Visa card and the Age of Credit
Card SeClinty. In the 67th year of the 20th Century A.D Citibank introduced a credit
card aptly titled the Citibank Classic Visa� card. Established on the premise that a credit card should
offer�24 hours a day�warm, personal service, the Citibank Classic Visa card marked the end of the
Ice Age. And it ushered in a new era. With the introduction of the first Photocard, the credit card
bearing one's own photo and signature on the front, it soon became
evident that Man was entering the Post Paleolithic Period. First,
Man was no longer looking like a Neanderthal, as one often does on
more primitive cards such as the Student ID. He or she could now
choose his or her own photo. Second, by deterring other anthropoids
from using the card, Man was helping to prevent fraud. Surely this
was a sign of advanced intelligence. H The subsequent rise of services was nothing less than an
American Revolution. So as you might expect, Citibank would be there for you, even if your card
was stolen, or perhaps lost. The Lost Walletsm Service could have a new card in your hands Monarch Notes� Version:
usually within 24 hours. (You can almost hear Paul Revere crying, "The card is coming! The With the Citibank Classic Visa caid

By Brian Olson
Assistant Sports Editor
The Pirates will head back on
the road this weekend and travel to
takeonarch-rival Virginia Tech. This
year's Hokie squad is much more
improved and is on the verge of
breaking in on the top 25 list.
The Big East team has a record
of 5-2, the opposite of ECU's. The
Bucs are coming off a tough loss to
Southern Miss, 24-16. The Hokies
are coming off a high shoot out con-
test with New Jersey powerhouse
Rutgers, 49-42.
Last year in Ficklen Stadium
the Pirates pulled out the stops and
quarterback Michael Anderson hit
Carlester Crumpler on a 21 -yard TD
pass with 42 seconds remaining for
a 30-27 win. The Hokies finished
with a 2-8-1 record last season.
When these two teams get to-
getheritalwaysseemstocomedown
to the final seconds. In the last four
match-ups the average win has been
only 3.75 points.
This will beacontestofVirginia
Tech's high octane offense versus
theyoungpowerfuldefenseofECU.
Tech brings in the 7th- rated offense
in the country agains.t ECU's 32nd-
ranked defense. The Hokies have
and it will play into the strength of
the Buc defense.
Tech's running game is led by
17th-ranked running back Dwayne
Thomas(1374avg. yards per game).
They ha ve not missed star back Von
Hebron, who is now tearing up de-
fenses in the NFL with the Philadel-
phia Eagles. The man at the helm of
the offense is QB Maurice DeShazo.
He is second in the nation in pass
efficiency. He might be able to pick
apart the Buc secondary.
ThePiratesplayedgreatdefense
lastweekagainstUSM and this week
will be a real test for the young
squad.
The Hokies made some drastic
changes during the off-season.
"You're fired was heard sev-
eral times from Head Coach Frank
Beamer and now VT has a new cast
of assistant coaches. And new de-
fensive schemes.
The Hokies have converted to a
standard 4-3defense from their wide
tackle-six formation, forcing outside
linebackers Kevin Brown and P.J.
Preston to new positions.
Brown, who recorded 82 tack-
les (5 for losses) last season, moved
to inside linebacker. Preston, the
team's returning leader in tackles
with 89 (5 for losses) last seasonwill

The Hokie offensive line re-
turned all five starters and is giv-
ing DeShazo the protection he
needs.
"Maurice got better every
game he played last season
Beamersaid. "Withexperience,he
made better decisions and called
audibles that put us in positions
for big gains
Through the air, DeShazo
found widereceiver Antonio Free-
man 32 times last year for an aver-
age of 22 yards per catch. Freeman
is a deep threat the Pirates will
have to play close attention to.
The Pirates should stand a
good chance at running the ball
this Saturday.
The Hokies have allowed
147.6 yards a game on the ground.
The combination of Junior Smith
running and Jerris McPhail catch-
ing the ball out of the backfield
should work well again. Smith is
currently ranked 13th in rushing
and is averaging 110 yards per
game.
The Pirates have hopefully
found a cure for these illnesses that
havebeennaggingaroundallsea-
son: Bad penalties, weak special
teams and drowsiness in the third
quarter.

Ev eryone who has left home
for college know of the difficult
transition that takes place during
your first year away from home.
One day you're a popular high
school senior, the next day, you're
a lowly freshman geek.
It takes time to meet
new people, remember their
faces and consider them
your friends. If only there
was someone already here
to help you through these
most awkward of times. A
brother perhaps, or maybe,
a twin sister? Certainly, that
would make things easier.
Well, the East Carolina cross
country men's and women's team
both share something in
common, family. Taraand
Dava Rhodes are identical
twins who joined the
women's squad as true
freshmen with promising
careers. And what better
way to ease into college life
than with your sister and
best friend from home?
"Having Dava here makes the
transition from high school to col-
lege a lot easier than if I were start-
ingallbymyself'Tarasaid. "She's
my best friend
"With Tara here, it just made
things seem just like we were back
in Pennsylvania running in high
school Dava said. "It was the
same old thing
The two come to ECU as highly

recruited runners with impressive
statistics. Dava placed 12th in
Pennsylvania her senior year
where competition is extremely
competitive. She also represented
the Pennsylvania Ail-Star team
after her senior season and holds
the school record with a time of
18:59.
Tara finished 19th in Pennsyl-
vania and also medaled in
the 3200 meters in track at
the state championships.
Both girls lettered every
year while in high school
and come to ECU on schol-
arships.
As for the men, broth-
ers do exist. However,
they're not twin Eric
Adamski is a senior for the Pirates,
while younger brother Jason is
beginning his sophomore
year at ECU.
They too have similar
thoughts that the twins share
about being in school with
family. "It helps me to have
Eric here, he's always been
an athletic rival for me while
we were growing up Jason
said. "And since he's my
brother, he'll tell me if I'm screw-
ing up, whether it has to do with
school or cross country
"We're quite a long ways from
home, so having Jason here is like
having a piece of home here with
me Eric said. "We're really kind
of different, but running cross
country gives us a common inter-
est that brings us closer together,
which is kind of nice
CHARLOTTE (AP) �
Howard Jones hasn' t been enjoy-
ing his favorite National Foot-
ball League team lately, but
Tuesday's decision to award a
franchise to Charlotte may sway
his allegiance.
Jones, 69, is a Washington
Redskins fan discouraged by
their 1-5 start this year.
"I've always watched the
games until the end said Jones,
a retired marketing consultant.
"But I've been cutting them off at
the half lately
Jones may be changing his
tune now that he'll be watching
the Carolina Panthers. For many,
Sunday tailgate parties will re-
place the old tradition of Sunday
afternoon buffets at the local
steakhouse.
Joe Estwanik, a Charlotte
physician specializing in sports
medicine, bought four perma-
nent seat licenses. His dd held
season tickets for the Cleveland
Browns for years, and he remem-
bers well the weekly ritual of
heading out to the stadium to
watch running back Jim Brown
run over opposing defenses.
Season tickets were so prized
that, when his father died, strang-
ers called the family wanting to
know if the family tickets might
be for sale.
"Having grown up in an NFL
city, I know the depth of feeling a
team creates Estwanik said. "If
you end up becoming hooked as
a season ticket holder, you will
be occupied by those Sunday
away games and Monday night
games as well as the home
games
Since the team will play its
first season at Clemson, home
Sundays would also mean load-
ing up the family for the two-
hour trek to Death Valley.
Ronnie Farmer, owner of the
Gentlemen's Quarters barber-
shop in the Charlotte YMC A, said
his family is ready to rearrange
their Sunday rituals of leisurely
lunches and visits to the in-laws
around the Panthers' schedule.
But he's not sure if he's ready for
the trips to Clemson.
"I probably won't get
highly involved in it until it is
in Charlotte he said. He
thought about that a second.
"Then again, I'll probably be
there for every game
Howard Jones proudly re-
ports that even his son in Bal-
timore was rooting for Char-
lotte to get a team so he can
come down and watch Pan-
ther games with his dad.
"He's a native Carolin-
ian Jones said with a laugh

(RS)�They call themselves the
"Super Ho's" arid they are this year's

champs. After their 7-0 victory over
Sigma Phi Epsilon last weekend, the
champs rejoiced in victory.
"Itwas thetoughestgameforus,

team captain, Brandon Taylor.
With a single elimination rule,
both teams successfully defeated a
series of teams which led them to the
final game played October 24th on
ECU's intramural grounds.
According to Brandon, the key
player of the qualifying game was
the entire team (Kevin
Hollingswortri,LeviBeckwith,Gerad
Jenkins, Rodney Young, Tom Moye,
Doug Talbert, Steve Marshburn,
Bryon Lyons and Dave Campbell).
"Defense was the key tonight. We
had to force their quarter back to
throw the ball because we knew he
couldn't explained Brandon.
Despite their loss, Sigma Phi
Epsilon's quarter back, Scott Gagain
and the rest of the Sigma Phi Epsilon
team showed great enthusiasm and
sportsmanship. With Scott's mobil-
ity and speed, the "Super Ho's" de-
fense definitely had a tough time
breaking it down.

ond in both tournaments this year.

(RS)�ECU's club sports have
been an active part of the Recre-
ational Services Department since
1979. Initially, club sports origi-
nated with only three active sports
including Karate, football and the
rugby. Today, however, ECU club
sports have expanded to a total of
20 active clubs.
According to Pat Cox, the co-
ordinator of all club sports at
ECU, there has been major addi-
tions to the program since 1985.
For instance, in 1985 there were
only 10 active club sports that
fluctuated in numbers because
of limited funding. However
since then and under Pat's man-
agement, the club sports were
able to progress successfully and
remain consistent up to today. "I
think it's a great opportunity for
students to participate in any
sport of their choice and I en-
courage everyone to get in-
volved explained Pat. "I feel
these programs provide recre-
ation, instructional, competitive
opportunities, and fun for all par-

Nixon shopping

a full-time job.
Nixon, who stole 47 bases
working part-time for the Atlanta
Braves, exercised his S2.5 million
option Monday and filed tor free
agency.
"1 feel real good about it, al:
though some said 1 should take
what 1 had Nixon said. "I had to
feel comfortable with the decision
and I do
Nixon, 34, was platooned in
center field with Deion Sanders
for part of the year. Nixon batted
.331 after regaining the starting
position Aug. 18, when Sanders
went on the disabled list with a
respiratory problem.
There is expected to be con-
siderable interest in Nixon, who
has hit .286, scored 237 runs and
stolen 160 bases in the last three
years.
"He's going to be looking for
an opportunity to play said
Nixon's agent, Joe Sroba. "We're
not looking for the highest bidder,
either. When Otis finds a situation
he considers reasonable and ap-
pealing, he'll take it
Nixon now may talk with
other teams, but can't talk money
with any club except the Braves
until Nov. 8.
"Otis would stay in Atlanta
for not necessarily the highest bid,
but certainly they would have to
ward and make an oner

lanta, we don't anticipate that
He had the right to become a
tree agent if he chose to and he
chose to Atlanta general man-
ager John Schuerholz said. "I'm
sure that after Otis and his repre-
sentative have had a chance to
talk to others in the marketplace,
they'll contact us
Sroba said he got no response
when he approached the Braves
at midseason.
"The last time they were mak-
ing contract decisions and com-
mitments was in July Sroba said.
"We stepped forward and asked
for a career commitment, a finan-
cial commitment or some kind of
feedback as to what their inten-
tions were with Otis.
"They told us that, atthattime,
he was under contract with the
Braves and they expected him to
do his job. That's what he did.
There have been no negotiations
with Atlanta since then
Atlanta acquired Nixon, along
with Boi Rodriguez, from
Montreal for Jimmy Kremers and
Keith Morrison on April 1,1991.
Nixon declared free agency
after the 1991 season but ended up
back with the Braves, signing a
two-year contract with the player
option for 1994 which would have
paid him $2.5 million.
Nixon has stolen at least 40
bases for four straight vears and
for six of the last seven seasons.

World Series ratings
second-lowest in history
NEW YORK (AP) � Ratings
for this year's World Series were
the second-lowest ever and
slipped below the NBA Finals for
the first time.
Toronto's six-game victory
over the Philadelphia Phillies got
a 17.3 rating and a 30 share, ac-
cording to figures released today
by A.C. Nielsen Co. The rating
was down 14 percent from the
20.2 rating for the Blue Jays' six-
game victory over the Atlanta
Braves last year.
The only lower-rated World
Series since records began in 1959
was Oakland's earthquake-inter-
rupted sweep of San Francisco in
1989, which got a 16.4 rating.
In 1989, the NBA Finals got a
15.1 rating. The Chicago Bulls' six-
game victory over the Phoenix
Suns in June got a 17.9 rating, the
league's record high. The Dallas
Cowboys' 52-17 rout of Buffalo in
the Super Bowl on Jan. 31 got a
40.3 rating.
Toronto 'sdramatic8-6 victory
Saturday night got a 19.0 rating,
the lowest ever for a sixth game,
and a 35 share. That was down 16
percent from the 22.7 rating and
41 share for Toronto's 4-3, 11-in-
ning victory at Atlanta in Game 6
last year.
Ratings increased throughout
the game, which included a five-
run Philadelphia comeback in the
eighth and Joe Carter's game-win-
ning homer off Mitch Williams in
the ninth, only the second home
run to end a World Series.
The rating was 13.6 from the
game's start to 8:30 p.m. EDT, and
15.6 for the next half hour. It in-
creased to 16.9 from 9-9:30 p.m
17.7 for the following 30 minutes,
20.2 from 10-10:30 p.m. and 21.1
for the next half hour.
By 11-11:30 p.m the rating
was 24.2. It peaked at 26.8 for the
game's conclusion.
The rating represents the per-
centage of television households
in the nation and each point equals
942,000 homes. The share is the
percentage of televisions on at the
time.

triotte "1 lopefully, that will be
IH- iH-gii,iling of the season. By
d ten, I should know if my future is
with tins team or not
Homacek, a holdout since the
start of training camp, was not with
the team for a 105-103 overtime ex-
hibition victory Sunday over the
Washington Bullets.
The guard and his agent, Peter
Johnson, are seeking a balloon ex-

about 58 million in the 1997-98 sea-
son, when he will be 34, according
to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The 76ers have already said
they consider his demands to be out

In June 1992, Phoenix traded
Homacek, Andrew Lang and Tim
Perrv to Philadelphia for last
season's MVP Charles Barkley.
The 76ers have offered
Homacek a one-year extension be-
lieved to be worth about $4 million,
or half the amount sought by
Johnson.
In his first season with Phila-
delphia, Homacek averaged 19.1
points. Sean Green had been start-
ing at shooting guard in Hornacek's
absence, making just 32.6 percent of
his shots.
Homacek could help stabilize
a young team rebuilding around 7-
foot-6 rookie center Shawn Brad-
ley, taking some of the pressure off
his inexperienced teammates.
Wake Forest prepared for
Florida State Seminoles
UINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
(AP) � Wake Forest coach Jim
Caldwell says his team isn't in-
timidated by Florida State's domi-
nation of opponents this season.
"I think everybody knows
how well they can score. That just
shows you what kind of ball club
they are Caldwell said Tuesday
at his weekly news conference.
"But it does not affect us as far as
our preparation, and it will not
affect our kids either. The kids
won't go in there scared to death
because they're facing a potent
offense and a great defense
Florida State (7-0,5-0 Atlantic
Coast Conference) has shut out
three teams this year, including
Clemson 57-0 and Georgia Tech
51-0. The top-ranked Seminoles
are also averaging 554 yards per
game in total offense compared to
their opponents' 250 yards per
game.
Caldwell said he likes the at-
tention the program will get play-
ing the No. 1 team in the country.
It's just the fourth time Wake For-
est has played a No. 1 in its his-
tory.
"Very rarely do you have an
opportunity to play the No. 1 team
in the country. It's something
we're going to take full advantage
of he said.
The Demon Deacons (2-5,1-3)
have been inconsistent this year.
After bea ting Clemson two weeks
ago, they lost 21-13 at home to
Duke last week, blowing a 13-0
lead.
Wake Forest suffered a num-
ber of injuries in the game,
Caldwell said, and is beat up head-
ing into Saturday's contest. Wide
receiver Travis Johns is out for the
season after rupturing his spleen,
and backup Mark Stisser injured
ankle and is questionable. Earlier,
the Demon Deacons lost first-team
receiver Marlon Estes to an aca-
demic suspension.

Coach fired for sexual misconduct
GAINESVILLE,Fln.(AP)�
The University of Florida tired
women's swim coach Mitch

report alleging sexual miscon-
duct with his swimmers.
fvey denied the charges af-
ter his firing Monday night, sav-
ing the university would rather
avoid bad publicity than stand
behind its coach.
"It's real unfortunate Ivev

deemed reason enough
" Ra ther than saying they 're pleased
with my performance and standing

that all of that talk about Team Florida

The ECU Student Government Report
� News and Information about SGA that concerns YOU �
Vol. 1 No. 1
East Carolina University
Greenville, North Carolina
SGA President gives State
of the Campus address
Thursday, October 28,1993
By A. Keith Dyer
SGA President
Hello, fellow students. I
hope everyone is having a
good fall semester. What you
are reading is the Student
Government's attempt to bet-
ter inform students on what
is going on behind the scenes
at ECU and what the SGA
actually does for students.
The information page is de-
signed to highlight issues
which have been dealt with
by the SGA since the last edi-
tion. Since this is the first edi-
tion, we will begin with the
period from April 27 to
October 27.
The SGA Executive
Council acts as the legisla-
ture during the summer.
The council is made up of
the President, Vice Presi-
dent and Treasurer of the
SGA. The summer is pretty ��
laid-back, with most stu-
dents gone, and the execu-
tive council uses the summer
to get acclimated to their po-
sitions.
However, the summer
legislature created some im-
portant legislation. A new
appropriations procedure
was adopted which will end
the long-time problem of
double funding. Also, a reso-
lution was passed requiring
residence hall representa-
tives to give bi-weekly re-
ports to their respective hall
council meetings. These bi-
weekly reports are designed
to get more students in-
volved in SGA.
Perhaps the most impor-
tant summer appropriation
made was to ECU Campus
Police to purchase two bi-
cycles for a campus bike pa-
trol. These bikes will be used
to escort women between
campus buildings and enable
the campus police to better
serve the students and the
faculty. When the current
SGA Executive Council was
elected in April, we made it a
priority to curb campus
crime and the bike patrol is
the first step in that direc-
tion.
As the summer ended
and fall semester began, the
SGA Executive Council be-
gan to see other goals form-
u
we made it a
priority to curb
campus crime
A. Keith Dyer
ing. On October 7, we began
deliberation with the Faculty
Senate to enact a grade re-
placement policy which will
allow (if passed) a student to
repeat a course and only the
replacement grade will be
factored into the GPA. As of
now, this new policy stands
a very good chance of pass-
ing and will counter some of
the negative effects of the
new Drop-Add policy.
The fall at ECU immedi-
ately brings to mind Hallow-
een. Since September 29, the
SGA has met with city and
university officials three
times to talk about the stu-
dents' role in making Hal-
loween safer for everyone.
After last year's success-
ful Halloween, the SGA is
doubling its efforts to inform
students to party responsi-
bly once again and make Hal-
loween a continuing tradi-
tion in Greenville. (See our
half page ad on page 17 in
this edition for more details
on Halloween.)
On November 2, the citi-
zens of North Carolina will
vote on a 310 million dollar
bond referendum. If the ref-
erendum passes, ECU will be
appropriated funds to con-
struct a badly needed addi-
tion to Joyner Library. From
August 23 to October 11, the
SGA has made register-
ing voters to vote for the
bond referendum its top
priority.
A massive advertise-
ment campaign and voter
registration drive was
completed with much
�� success. Currently, the
SGA is continuing the ad-
vertisement campaign, fo-
cusing on more voter mobili-
zation. It is obvious how im-
portant passage of this bond
referendum is to the students
of ECU and we hope our ef-
forts will make a significant
difference.
The ECU SGA hopes this
information page is "infor-
mative There are often
complaints that SGA really
does nothing for students,
and this information page is
especially ior those people.
Just remember that the SGA
is working hard for students
and it is our pledge to con-
tinue to work hard.
Sincerely,
A. Keith Dyer
Student Body President

by Rich ParavelEa
The SGA is beginning the year with over
$80,000 available to campus recognized organiza-
tions. This is the most money we have ever started
the year with. The reason for this is that SGA has
received a $2 increase from student fees, which is
our funding source. This was a much needed in-
crease in order to fund the growing number of
student groups on campus.
Any student organization with a favorable
funding status is eligible to receive funding from
ithe SGA. If there are any questions pertaining to
funding, or any other matter relating to SGA, please
tall 757-4726.
This year promises to be very productive and
will watch to insure the fair and necessary distri-
' bution of funds. The semester began with the addi-
tion of the partially student-funded clock located at
the corner of the General Classroom building and
the Geology building. Also included this semester
is the beginning of our SGA campus safety package
to assist in making our campus a safe place to be.
We are excited about SGA playing an active
role on this campus and look forward to serving the
students of East Carolina.
Respectfully yours,

Vice-Pres stresses student issues
Dreyfus desires to improve communication
between students and SGA
By Troy Dreyfus
SGA Vice-President
To the students of East
Carolina:
This is a first of its kind
information page designed
for all ECU students to better
inform you of what Student
Government is and what we
are doing for you. As Vice
President, I hope to improve
the communication between
the student body and the
SGA. We are your represen-
tatives and we want you to
know what is going on con-
cerning student issues. This
has been a very busy year so
far because there are so many
major issues that will be af-
fecting all ECU students.
Crime is a major con-
cern for us as student lead-
ers. This summer we gave
over two thousand dollars to
ECU Public Safety to pur-
chase mountain bikes so they
can patrol campus and give
escorts.
SGA did not have to do
this, but we feel if we can
help make this campus a
safer place, then the money
was well spent. I encourage
all students to use Public
Safety if you ever need an
escort at night. They are hired
to provide safety and secu-
rity for all students, so please
utilize them by calling 757-
6787 or picking up any blue-
light phone.
I assure all of you that
the SGA is going to keep a
close eye on all issues that
could affect students in the
future. Something we are
((f rss
watching very closely is tail-
gating. As you know, last
year tailgating was restricted
to 5 hours before kick-off and
this year, kegs were banned.
We hope next year, tailgat-
ing is not taken away alto-
gether. Although no decision
has been made yet, there is a
lot of talk about further re-
strictions being placed on
tailgating next year.
We (SGA) hopes that
certain incidents do not get
blown out of proportion
more than they already
have been. The SGA is tak-
ing steps now to work with
university officials and the
athletic department to
solve future problems.
Other changes being
considered for next year
are not selling 12-price
guest tickets for ECU foot-
ball games and the rear-
ranging of the student seat-
ing.
Once again, no
changes have been made
yet, but these are some
ideas that could be imple-
mented next year if uni-
versity officials deem it
necessary.
I will continue to work
along with the entire SGA
in order to provide the best
possible academic and so-
cial environment to all ECU
students. I encourage and
invite each of you to get
involved and use your
voice by becoming a part
of your student govern-
ment.
Sincerely,
