No bowling today! The staff at Mendenhall work feverishly to clean up the mess created by Greenville's Public
Works Department. Not only are they tearing up our street, they're trying to drown us.

and covered over half of the base-
ment area within half an hour, said
Jesse Battle, housekeeping super-
visor in Mendenhall.
"It was just a terrible mess.
Imagine the water that you would
normally expect to see in a sewer
line, backing up into the building
said Rudolph Alexander, assistant
vice chancellor for student life.
"If it had continued, it would
have covered every square foot of
the downstairs area said
Alexander. "We were able to keep
it from getting into the north wing

Battle said. "This is probably the
worst we have seen in past years
we had to clean up and then
disinfect to make sure the germs
were killed. It didn't get all over
but in certain areas you could
really smell it
Housekeeping staff had
the sewage problem under con-
trol within two hours, and by 3
p.m the basement was almost
completely disinfected.
"We have to make sure the
students are safe as possible
Battle said.
"Housekeeping should be
commended for the work
they've done to get rid of the
sewage said Betty Hardy, di-
rector of operations at
Mendenhall. "That's not a pleas-

The entire basement area
will be fully operational by
Thursday morning, Hardy said.
Damage estimates will not be
known until the clean-up is com-
plete . Several areas will be evalu-
ated for damage.
Nobody home at the Media Board
By Jason Williams
Assistant News Editor
The ECU Media Board
"shall be the publisher of all stu-
dent-sponsored publications at
East Carolina University includ-
ing, but not limited to, The East
Carolinian, Buccaneer, Rebel and
Expressions; and shall be respon-
sible for the Photo Lab and radio
station WZMB
So reads the constitution of
the Media Board, an organiza-
tion made up of representatives
from different organizations and
departments on campus. The
board is charged with selecting
the heads of the various media
and appropriating funds.
These media cannot obtain
money without first going be-
fore the board to request addi-
tional funding. The board then
votes on the measure, with a
simple majority needed for ap-
proval.
Like any legislative body,
the Media Board requires a quo-
rum to take action on a measure.
According to the Media Board
Constitution, "A quorum shall
consist of four students and ei-
ther the faculty member or the
administrator
For the three meetings thus
far this semester, the Media
Board has failed to produce a
quorum twice and as a result,
could not conduct business. The
only time the board had a quo-
rum, for the second meeting on
Feb. 10, there were five student
representatives present.
For the three meetings,
onlv Susan Stewart, the Student
Union representative and Me-
dia Board chair, has attended all
of them. Rudolph Alexander,
assistant vice chancellor for stu-
dent life and Julie Natale, finan-
cial advisor to the board, are the
only other members who have
been present at each of the three
meetings.
Several members of the
board have missed all three
meetings. ABLE President
Demetrius Carter, SGA repre-
sentative Troy Dreyfus,
Panhellinic Council President
Tiffany Ferretti and RHA Presi-
dent Janna McDonald have been
absent for each meeting.
Dreyfus said he missed the
last meeting because of a con-
flict with an SGA conference in
Texas, but he usually tries to be
there. "I take it seriously. I'm the
only person on the Board that
has worked on the paper and for
WZMB.
"I feel bad that no one
showed up at the last meeting. I
didn't even know they had the
first one. I didn't get a memo-
randum about it
None of the other absent
members returned phone calls.
In addition, Dr. Alfred
Matthews, vice chancellor for
student life, has not attended any
meetings this semester or dur-
ing the fall. Matthews is an advi-
sor to the board and ex officio
member without a vote.
Stewart said the members
of the board have a responsibil-
ity to fulfill their duties. "As the
head of an organization, if you

Elders to speak at Med. School
U.S. Surgeon General returns to ECU
By Tammy Zion
Staff Writer
Dr. Joycelyn Elders, surgeon
general of the United States, will be
speaking to the School of Medicine's
graduating class in Wright Audito-
rium, May 6. The convocation is
scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
"It's just wonderful said Dr.
James Hallock,deanofECU'sSchool
of Medicine.
"She's the surgeon general.
Someone of that stature speaking to
our medical students upon their
graduation, I think it's really out-
standing
Elders has visited ECUbefore.
She spoke at the Chancellor's Fo-
rum in 1992 while director of the
Arkansas Department of Health.
She was nominated to the sur-
geon general's office in J' tly of 1993
by President Clinton.
"I want to be the vo: ce and the
vision of the poor and powerless
Elders said during her confirmation
hearings. "I want to change social
concern about social problems that
affect health into commitment
Elders often speaks her mind
on issues such as sex education in
schools, banning tobacco sales to
minors and extending health ser-
vices to those in need throughout
the country.
Her forum on disease preven-
tion and increased personal respon-
sibility for individual health care is
parallel toClinton'sproposed health
care reform. "I want to change the
way we think about health by put-
ting prevention first Elders said.
While working for the Arkan-
sasstate health post, Elders increased
early childhood screenings from
4,000 to45,000infouryears.Shealso
elevated the number of infant im-
munizations and increased prena-
tal care for women.
The oldest of eight children,
Elders never saw a physician until
her first year of college at Philander
Smith in Little Rock, Ark. A church
scholarship allowed her to attend
the college at the age of 15.
Elders graduated from Phi-
lander Smith when she was 18 and
soon after joined the Army where
she trained in physical therapy. The
G.I. Bill later sent her to the Univer-
sity of Arkansas Medical School
where she completed her residency
in pediatrics.
Elders also holds a master's
degree in biochemistry and is board-
certified in pedia trie endocrinology.
Aides said Elders is unsure of
what issue she will address for the
graduates.

Religion seminar held
By Jeb Brookshire
Staff Writer
Almost every day the news
is full of examples of religious
intolerance. Catholics and Protes-
tants fight in Ireland. Muslims and
Jews fight over land in the Middle
East. On Monday Feb. 28, repre-
sentatives of eight religious
groups gathered to address the
topic of religious tolerance.
The program was called
Religious Tolerance: An Explora-
tion of Conflict and Agreement at
the Turn of the Century and was
sponsored by the ECU Philoso-
phy Club and the Phi Sigman Tau
honor society.
Among the featured panel-
ists were ECU professors Avtar
Singh (Sikh), Umesth Gulati
(Hindu), and Byron Coulter (Ti-
betan Buddhist). Reverend Daniel
Earnhardt (Protestant Christian)
and Father Paul Vaeth (Roman
Catholic), who are both chaplains
of ECU student religious groups,
were there. The other speakers
included Rabbi Michael Cain (Ju-
daism), Noria Namaz (Sunni
Muslim) and Yvonne Frost
(Church of Wicca).
Earnhardt was the first pan-
elist to speak. He began by outlin-
ing what makes a religion accord-
ing to the United Nations. These
guidelines include assembling to
worship, establishing a place to
worship, practicing religious cus-
toms, teaching religious beliefs,
recognizing religious holidays,
and several other examples.

Campus group forms to improve parking
By Jason Williams
Staff Writer
Can't find a parking place?
Tired of walking 15 minutes to
class? A group of students are
organizing to do something
about parking on campus.
STOrP, or Students Tired
Of Parking Problems, held their
second meeting Tuesday to hear
from Lavton Getsinger, associ-
ate vice chancellor for business
affairs. Getsinger affirmed his
commitment to finding a solu-
tion to parking in the best inter-
ests of the students.
"My first priority is the bet-
terment of this university
Getsinger said. "I'm against rais-
ing the parking fee right now,
because there is no plan for that
monev. We need a plan before
we finance the plan.
"The window of opportu-
nity has come and gone. We've
decided we're not going to raise
the fee for this year. We've got
between now and next semester
to have a plan in place
Getsinger mentioned that
one of the ideas being consid-
ered by the Parking Committee
is a graduated parking fee in
which prices would be higher
the closer to main campus the
spaces are.
Getsinger said that stu-
dents will have a chance to com-
ment on the upcoming plan. Pat
Gertz, director of Parking and
Traffic Services, confirmed that
a survey and several public hear-
ings for students in residence
halls are forthcoming.
David Richmond, a junior
political science major, founded
STOPP to do something about
the parking situation on cam-
pus.
"I hear a lot of people talk-
ing about parking, arguing
about parking around campus
he said. "I just feel that we can
do something to improve it
Richmond said that the or-
ganization has taken a number
of stances on issues concern-
ing parking. "We feel that the
number of spaces should equal
the number of stickers sold.
That's our main issue.
"We need a quick solu-
tion, not a quick fix. If it takes
a small increase in the price of
stickers, and if that is going to
increase our chance at getting
a place to park, then I'll sup-
port that.
"Also, we are supporting
surface lots over a parking
deck at this time. The overall
goal is definitely a parking
deck, but, it's more feasible
right now for us to go for the
surface lots Richmond said.
Departmental Profile: English Dept.
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
English is a lot more than
Shakespeare, Poe and Thoreau.
There is more to being an En-
glish major than reading countless
novels and learning the rules of
grammar. There is also a major
within the English department
where one half of the course work
involves writing.
According to Dr. Donald
Palumbo, chair of the English de-
partment, an English ma jor is a great
foundation for a person.
"From a practical point of
view, English is a good preparation
because of its emphasis on commu-
nication Palumbo said. "Every-
body in the world has to communi-
cate
For those who enjoy reading
novel after novel, there is a Bachelor
of Arts degree in li tera ture. Courses
include Major American Writers,
Major British Writers, Women in
Literature, Black Literature and
Shakespeare.
"People are attracted to the
aesthetics of language and litera-
ture Palumbo said.
If this does not sound appeal-
ing, there is a Bachelor of Arts de-
gree with a concentration in writ-
ing. One half of the course work
involves reading, but the other half
is based on writing. Choices of
course work include Non-fiction
Writing, Fiction Writing, Poetry and
Writing for Business and Industry.
Another degree choice in the
Bachelor of Science degree for high
school teaching. Course work in-
volves literature, writing and edu-
cation courses. A 2.5 GPA is re-
quired for this degree.
Many people associate En-
glish with teaching, but career op-
tions are unlimited. You can con-
siderbecominga lawyer, researcher,
consultant, medical doctor,business
executive, writer, publisher or edi-
tor.
"People with liberal arts edu-
cation tend to progress higher in
their fields as opposed to a person
with a technical degree Palumbo
said.
According to Dr. Paul Dowell,
director of undergraduate studies
in English, there are 69 full-time
members in the English department.
This does not include the graduate
students who teach freshmen com-
position.
"Wearethebiggest depart-
ment of campus, faculty-wise
Dowell said. "We have had more
university award recipients than
any other department The Uni-
versity Award is the highest
award given by ECU at spring
commencement. The award is
given to the top all-around stu-
dents.
Also available through the
English department is the Writ-
ing Center. The center, located
on the second floor of General
Classroom Building, is available
for students in freshmen compo-
sition with below average writ-
ing skills who are in need of some
direction in their writing. But,
the Writing Center is also open to
any student who wishes to have
help with their writing.
All news writers are required to bring the asst. news editor a bro-
chure of his or her destination for Spring Break. And a beer. Bring
requested materials to the writers meeting today at 3 p.m.

Hasidic Jews shot in Brooklyn
NEW YORK (AP) ? A mo-
torist strafed a van packed with
Hasidic jews with bullets as they
drove over the Brooklyn Bridge,
wounding four young men. Two
of the victims had critical brain
injuries.
Police said the lone gunman
opened fire with two 9mm semi-
automatic pistols at three sepa-
rate points, blowing out his own
passenger side window before
escaping into Brooklyn on Tues-
day.
A huge manhunt was un-
derway as city officials tried to
calm fears that Middle East ten-
sions led to the attack.
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
said "no piece of information,
hard evidence" linked the attack
to Friday's massacre in a mosque
in the occupied West Bank, where
a Jewish settler from Brooklyn
killed 35 to 50 Muslim worship-
ers.
But "obviously that's some-
thing you can't exclude, and the
speculation is there Giuliani
said.
Police searched for the
driver of a light blue, four-door
Chevrolet ? and for a motive.
Members of the orthodox
Lubavitcher Hasidic sect said the
15 young men in the unmarked
van were clearlv identifiable as
Jews because their traditional
dress and hairstyles were visible
through the windows.
"It seems to us this was an
act of terrorism said Rabbi
Shmuel Butman, a Lubavitcher
leader.

Clinton pushes education bill
WASHINGTON (AP)?Un-
deterred by rejection in the House,
the Clinton administration is press-
ing the Senate to concentrate fed-
eral education dollars where they
are most needed.
"When you have a flood that
threatens a levee, you give most of
your attention over to sandbagging
the weakest part of the levee you
concentrate Education Secretary
Richard Riley said in testimony pre-
pared for a delivery Wednesday to
the Senate Labor and Human Re-
sources Committee. "Thathastobe
true with education as well, and we
have a flood of problems in our high
poverty schools
Theadrrunistration'sproposal
to target 50 percent of the so-called
Title I education funds for the dis-
ad vantaged was rejected earlier this
month by a House subcommittee.
A greatly watered down version,
which only increases targeting for
funds over and above the 1994 ap-
propriation, is included in legisla-
tion being debated on the House
floor.
Ninety-three percent of the
nation's school districts and two-
thirds of the nation's schools re-
ceive Title I funds. Because the pro-
gram is spread so thinly, hundreds
of high-poverty schools are left
unserved.
Riley acknowledged that un-
der the administration formula,
"some of the richer school districts
will have to dig a little deeper in
their own pockets to help some of
their children
That's whatkilled theproposal
in the House. Rep. William Ford, D-
Mich chairman of the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee, said it
was nice to talk philosophy but he
could not get the votes when as many
as half the districts around the coun-
try would lose money.
"I am asking you to make some
hard decisions Riley told the sena-
tors. "But when you are in deep
water, you need a long rope to get
yourself pulled in. The same is true
for these children

tary and second ary school programs,

that it was a spontaneous act stem-
ming from a traffic dispute, but
he cautioned that "we are really
operating in a vacuum at this junc-
ture as to the motive
The van was one of many
vehicles filled with men return-
ing from a visit to a Manhattan
hospital where Rabbi Menachem
Schneerson, the sect's 91-year-old
grand rebbe, had cataract surgery.
The shooting began at the
on-ramp to the bridge. Poiicesaid
the van's passengers screamed
and prayed and tried to duck bul-
lets. When the driver stopped to
find out whathappened, the gun-
man pulled up and fired again.
That started a chase across
the bridge, as the gunman riddled
the van with bullets and shot out
the windows before speeding
away.

Serb forces continue to attack
Muslim enclaves in Bosnia
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-
Herzegovina (AP) ? Despite
concessions to peace efforts in
Bosnia, U.N. officials said
Wednesday that Serb forces have
intensified attacks on Muslim
regions and denied permission
for a relief convoy to travel to
Maglaj.
Bosnian Serb artillery con-
tinue to hammer Maglaj, a Mus-
lim enclave 50 miles north of
Sarajevo, where 19,000 refugees
have been under siege for most
of the past year.
Serbs denied permission for
a humanitarian aid convoy to
travel there Wednesday, said Lt.
Col. Bill Aikman, the U.N.
spokesman in Sarajevo.
U.N. officials reported anti-
tank rounds landed near
Sarajevo's downtown Jewish
cemetery this morning, but there
was no word on who fired them.
There also were reports of a
stepped-up offensive against
Bihac in Bosnia's northwest cor-
ner, where Serbs support a small
Muslim faction that has declared
autonomy from the Sarajevo gov-
ernment.
The offensives contrast
starkly to a truce that has held
for three weeks in Serb-besieged
Sarajevo, and to Tuesday's agree-
ment by Bosnian Serb leader
Radovan Karadzic to allow the
reopening of an airport at Tuzla,
northern Bosnia, for U.N. aid
flights.
The Serbs attacks also
come against the backdrop of
agreement by Bosnia's Muslim
and Croat factions to cease hos-
tilities and form a confedera-
tion.
A preliminary accord was
signed Tuesday in Washing-
ton by Bosnian Prime Minister
Haris Silajdzic, Croatian For-
eign Minister Mate Granic and
Bosnian Croat representative
Kresimir Zubak.

While a few militant Jews
were being disarmed, Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's ad-
viser on terrorism, Yigal
Pressler, urged Israelis to carry
their weapons with them at all
times to guard against revenge
attacks.
Israel radio said seven sot-
tiers from communities around
Nablus in the north were dis-
armed and given orders to stay
out of Palestinian areas. Several
dozen settlers from Hebron and
nearby areas on the West Bank
have also been given orders lim-
iting their movements.
Police took away the set-
tlers' gun permits and weapons
found at their homes. But dis-
armed militants would have
little trouble obtaining guns
from hard-line sympathizers if
they wanted.
Roughly one in 10 Israelis
? 220,000 civilians and 250,000
soldiers and police officers ?
have permits for firearms.
Although the seizure falls
far short of Palestinian demands
that all settlers be disarmed, the
action is the harshest since Jews
began moving into the territo-
ries after their capture by Israel
from Jordan and Egypt in 1967.

Vaeth spoke next, beginning
by identifying the threedefinitions
of tolerance. They were to allow
or permit, to put up with or bear,
and to recognize and respect.
Vaeth then said that the last defi-
nition best described what was
meant by religious tolerance.
"Religious tolerance is not a
matter of tolerance but a principle
of religious freedom said Vaeth.
"Every one is bound to seek the
truth and you can't expect or force
others to believe the same as vou
Cain spoke third. He stated
that it was God's wish for us to be
tolerant and that we should help
each other. He went on to say that
according to a passage in the book
of Genesis, everyone is created in
the image of God and that every-
one is one of God's children.
"The more you study other
religions he said, "the more you
will believe in your own religion
Coulter spoke next, mainly
on the beliefs of Buddhism. He
said Buddhists are the most toler-
ant because the goal of Buddhism
is to end all suffering. Some people
do not consider Buddhism a reli-
gion, but a philosophy. Practitio-
ners are expected to live as close a
life to Buddha as possible.
LASZLO
Coulter summed up his talk
by saying, "In Buddhism you de-
velop a loving kindness for all
living beings
Gulati spoke about the
Hindu faith. Hindus regard dif-
ferent religions as radii of a circle,
the center being God. The farther
these radii are from the center, the
greater the difference is between
them. Conversely, the closer the
radii are to the center, the closer
they are to one another. He en-
couraged the audience to distin-
guish between truth and false-
hood, and to become better con-
sumers of religion.
"The essence of all religions
is love said Gulati. "Love signi-
fies unity and harmony, not ha-
tred and division. Therefore, a true
religious person can never hate
because you cannot love God and
hate another human being at the
same time
Singh spoke next, giving an
overview of the Sikh faith. Singh
stated that people are willing to
kill other people due to conflict in
beliefs or out of fear of something
different. He also told the audi-
ence that no one was willing to
find out about other religions, just
put them down. In Sikhism, God
is manifest in all things. God is
also omniscient and omnipresent.
Frost caught the audience's
attention the most. Frost was the
represenative from the Church of
VVicca. More or less the "craft as
it is called, is witchcraft. In the
craft, God is genderless and life is
basically an assignment given to
us after a previous life has ex-
pired. Frostexplained that thecraft
was the best decision for her; how-
ever, she did not hesitate to ex-
plain the philosophy of " if it ha rm
none, do as you will a common
craft belief. This comment was
exemplified by the craft's practice
of marriages in terms of contracts
and "debt-free-sex
" After practicing the era ft for
25 years said Frost "I am proud
to say, yes, 1 am a witch
Namaz,aSunni Muslim, was
the last to speak. She stated that
Islam encompassed all faiths and
that the followers of Islam seek
the truth. An explanation of Is-
lamic beliefs was the focus of her
discussion. She did mention that
free-will was a big part of the Is-
lamic faith and that Allah was the
only true way to get to paradise.
"Do not lend someone a deaf
ear she warned Ra ther, be open
and accepting of what they be-
lieve
The whole forum was best
summed up by Dr. Gulati, a prac-
ticing Hindu, when he said, "what
we want is not just tolerance, but
acceptance; tolerance implies su-
periority, acceptance signifies
equality. Open yourselves to all
religions besides your own. Be
steadfast in your own religion; over
time it will manifest itself vour
humanity. Ignoranceof other faiths
will result in bigotry and violence

own futures. "Folks should get
involved she said. "The only way
to change the future is to take part
in making that change happen
Laszlo says she entered the
race because she is frustrated with
the current government. "Too
many of the politicians in Wash-
ington have forgotten why thev
are there and who thev were
elected to serve. They have forgot-
ten the sense of community, re-
sponsibility, accountability and
optimism that make our nation
great
As part owner and director
of international marketing for Ella
Bache, an international skin care
manufacturing and distribution
company thatexports to more that
20 countries, Laszlo has made her
own mark in the business world.
Based on this experience she hopes
to reduce regulations for small
businesses and provide incentives
for job creation.
Laszlo has also developed a
company that trains public offi-
cials to deliver cost effective pub-
lic services. Her interests include
managing a non-profit program
that aids more than 15,000 chil-
dren, senior citizens and home-
less people in a program run with
more than 900 volunteers on an
annual budget of less than 520,000.
Laszlo organized and man-
aged pro-democracy and free-
maket training seminars in Hun-
gary, the Czech and Slovak Re-
publics, Poland, Russia and
Ukraine.
MEDIA
Laszlo's focus on national
issues includes access to afford-
able health care without a signifi-
cant increase in the tobacco tax.
She proposes that the federal gov-
ernment use the $150 billion lost
each year to tax cheats on health
care, instead of raising taxes that
would hurt North Carolinians.
She also opposes unfair taxes on
American agricultural products.
Laszlo received a B. A. in In-
ternational Studies and Judaic-
Studies from Emory University
in Atlanta and is a resident of
Durham, N.C.

dents from this district will re-

Media Board slack with responsibilities
The University Media Board, according to
their constitution, should be responsible Forwhat?
Well, honestly, it doesn't really matter, since they
don't seem to be performing their duty. They
generally act as the parents of all media on cam-
pus. As parents, they hold the purse strings for
media organizations. The Board isalso set up to
discuss any problems each media group is having
and to appoint heads of organizitions, but this
becomes rather difficult when members don't
show up to their own meetings.
The Media Board consists cf representatives
from SGA, Student Union, RHA DFC, PanheUenic,
Minority StudentOrganizationartd variousother
organizations. There must be i quorum of five to
vote on any topic, as well as i faculty member or
the administrator. Aside from Susan Stewart, Stu-
dent Union Representative and Media Board
Chairperson, and RudolphAlexander, Asst. Vice
Chancellor for Student Life and Director of Uni-
versity Unions, the attendance of members has
been laughable.
Themostappalingiackofattendancewason
the part of Dr. Alfred Matthews, Vice Chancellor
for Student Life. He has been absent from every
meeting since last Jul. While Matthews does not
have the privilege t vote on issues, he is an
advisor and membfl" to the Board. And the re-
sponsibility is still hat a replacement should be
made to appear i his place, as every member
should have a representative. While the Media
Board meetings?or any meetings for that matter
?are hardly themosi happenin' place to be, if it
is a responsibilif any mature adult should recog-
nize the necessity in attending. Obviously, the re-
quirement was included in the job description for a
reason. Since so-called grown-ups (parents) think
us "kids" should act in a more reliable fashion,
maybe they should consider setting a good ex-
ample first. The slack Med ia Board members hardly
make me feel like attending my own meetings.
It has been noted that at least half of the
meetings have lacked a quorum. Since there are
infinite matters to be voted on and discussed, what
suffers with members' inconsiderate behavior are
nottheirjobs,butthoseofuswhostruggletoputout
viable publications and programs: Vie East Carolin-
ian, Rebel, Expressions, and WZMB.
In addition to this, those persons who must go
before the Board seeking changes or what-not,
usually can feel certain that these members have
insufficient knowledge of media practices. Aside
from Troy Dreyfus, SGA Representative, members
often have little experience, if any, in the various
media they control. And how can any one person,
or even a handful of people, be expected to know
what goes into a newspaper, a yearbook, a literary
anthology, a radio station and a minority forum ?
five very different types of media? The answer is:
They don't. They can't be expected to, but that
doesn't excuse a voluntary lack of representation
for media decisions.
The Media Board doesn't understand the
very thing they advise. Instead, their interests lie in
money, which is hardly the cause of any person
who works in campus media. Corporate money-
grubbers are one thing, slack corporate heads are
quite another.

set to replace history lectures, text-
books and newspapers in the eyes
of those who think the "X" in "Gen-
eration X" symbolizes the best at-
tempts people my age can make at
a signature, since we are being
given up for illiterate, dumb and
apathetic toward learning.
We have been inundated with
psychoanalyncaHabels to the point
where we can't say if we're perfec-
tionists or compulsive-obsessives,
people-persons or co-dependents.
We're lost in self-awareness, not
devoid of it. We want to "all just
get along" and trash the generali-
zations, since they, like all else to
us, mean little. We have become
optimistic nihilists. We're not sure
what we're supposed to be and
doubt the veracity of the trad i tions
and beliefs of those who came be-
fore, but we're determined to
hustle, electric slide or sing the
Brady theme on our way toward
our Great Reward.
We're portrayed as fresh-
from-college layabouts who give
up work to bike cross-country or
climb mountains or roller blade
our livesaway. We're 22-year-olds
collecting basketball cards because
they take us "to an extreme" of
some sort. We relive our childhood
through movies that reincarnate
our favorite TV shows from past
decades. We watch shows making
fun of movies and we make up the
target audience for video gamesys-
tems.
Hey, look, we're children! Is
it any wonder the older genera-
tions are fearful of us claiming au-
thority as they grow older when
we're perceived as adults acting as
kids? We're not a lost generation,
we're Barrie's Lost Boys. We fly
and dive and live in violence that
we just don't appreciate the horror
of. We fight Pirates ? hey, wait a
minute, weat ECU are Pirates! Sure!
On weekends we gorge on beer,
watch the combat of televised
sports, and go after booty, uh, I
mean, money. Yo-ho-ho, dude.
Sounds fun, I'll admit. In con-
trast toall that debauchery, if I spot
a playground swing, the next hour
is shot all to hell. But having no
responsibility means having no
authority or respect.
I don't know many people
who do not enjoy video games,
science fiction movies, loud music
or a decent cartoon. The office walls
I share with the Opinion Editor are
covered in such parapherna lia. But
the items on the wall don't reflect
my entire outlook on life. They're
decorations,souvenirsand trinkets
thatcatch my daydreaming eye for
a minute or two before I return to
my responsibilities.
And the fact that I have my
responsibilitiesand live up to them
fairly well makes me cringe at the
notion that all people my age (in-
cluding the people I work, study
and relax with) are slackers and
punks. I guess it just proves you
can't believe everything you read,
if we could read. In fact, if you read
this at all, you've busted a myth.

Grad students veritable gluttons for punishment
A photocopied article from
the January 1st issue of Newsday
found its way to my desk the
other day. Actually, it found its
way onto the desks of many of
the graduate students in what is
known as "the bullpen the En-
glish graduate student office in
General Classroom Building.
The article is about a con-
tract between the state of New
York and a union of about 4,000
graduate teachingassistantsat the
State University of New York. The
contract provides an increase in
salary as well as a health insur-
ance plan that will be provided
by the university. The graduate
students who teach and do re-
search had complained about low
pay and lack of health coverage,
but university officials considered
teaching assistants to be students
instead of employees. After sev-
eral years of resistance by SUNY
officials, a graduate students' em-
ployees union was certified last
year.
I read on to discover that
not only to these graduate assis-
tants receive tuition waivers, they
also make stipends ranging from
$7,000 to $15,000.
Let me tell you a little about
my job(s) as a graduate teaching
assistant. I have a 20-hour assis-
tantship and my duties are to
teach a class of English 1200, work
10 hours as editorial assistant for
a literary journal produced in the
English department and work as
a writing center coordinator (this
means that I help students figure
out how to use computers).
For my 20 hours, which al-
most always amount to 30,1 re-
ceive $2,600 a semester or $5,200
a year. I do not get a tuition waiver
and I am taking two classes. Need-
less to say, $5,200 a year is not
enough to live on, so I got a job as
the assistant lifestyle editor of The
East Carolinian and I also write
opinion columns ? in case you
had not noticed. With the help of
a strdent loan, I am making it.
Unfortunately, I had to quit
the assistant editor job because I
found that 1 was not having any
time to study. I have comprehen-
sive exams to take and a thesis to
write if I want to get out of here
sometime in the near future.
But enough about my poor,
pathetic and highly stressed-out
situation.
East Carolina University re-
quires that all of its students take
English 1100 and English 1200.
Of all of the sections of 1200 of-
fered this semester, well over 50
percent are taught by graduate
students. 1 do not mean that they
are ta ught under supervision of a
professor I mean they are taught
by graduate students who are
given free reign.
Graduate students who
bring enthusiasm, excitement and
new energy to classes that every-
body else wou Id rather not teach.
Everybody else, however, gets at
least twice as much money to
teach them.
I do not know how gradu-
ate assistants impact other de-
partments, but I am relatively
sure that if the English gradu-
ate students up and went on
strike, it could be a pretty pow-
erful gesture. On short notice,
it would be very difficult, I
would think, to fill all of the
"staff positions that are held
by graduate students. And al-
though we are considered
"staff" on the course offerings
information, we are considered
students in all other respects.
Even though I practically live
in General Classroom Building,
I can not get a staff parking
space.
The situation could be i ec-
tified but it would take a united
front on the part of graduate
students. The problem with
uniting is that most of us are
here for about two years (al-
though some ot us linger like
bad odors for up to six) and so
the face of the graduate stu-
dent population changes even
more quickly thun that of the
undergraduates. By the time we
realize how totaily screwed
we've been and how hopelessly
in debt we are, it's time to
graduate.
A fellow graduate student
once told me that graduate
school was turning him into
someone that he didn't like very
much. No time, no money and
no sleep can do that to a per-
son.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
I am disappointed with the article in Tuesday's
East Carolinian concerning the withdrawal of Mother
Nature from the REALCrisisbenefit held last Thursday.
As a member of Mother Nature, the quoted source for
Steve Griffin's article and a former assistant editor at
your paper, I wassurprised with thecontentof the piece.
Not only were a few of Mr. Griffin's facts inaccurate,
there were several missing.
Thestory, as presented in Tuesday's paper, would
lead TEC readers to believe that Mother Nature pulled
their name from the bcTiefit an hour before the show in
order to "cash in "ata fraternity party. This is not thecase.
The organizers of the benefit were made aware a
week before the show that Mother Nature was not
interested in performing the 10:00 time slot we were
allocated. This came from our experience at a Dream
Factory benefit held in Greenville.
Despite advertising, much of our regular audience
showed too late to see us and weredisappointcd to have
payed and missed our performance. To avoid our fans'
dissatisfaction, we told the organizers of the REAL
benefit that we would play only at a later time slot. After
much debate and deliberation, the REAL Crisis center
refused us that slot and we pulled from the benefit on
Monday, Feb. 21. On the day before th show, the
center contacted us with an apparent change of heart
and offered us the desired time slot. We accepted and
made plans to play the show.
To our dismay, the organizers of the benefit
called back at 3:30Thursday, the day of the show, and
reneged on their offer. When we declined to play the
second slot again, the organizers of the benefit re-
moved us from the bill. Only after this did we pick up
the fraternity engagement, booked as a chance to
perform on a regrettably vacant night.
I am pleased that the benefit was a success and
congratulate the job that the other bands did. I am
angered by the perception perpetuated in TEC about
my band and myself. I resent the implications in the
article that we are egotistical and unsympathetic. We
regret the problems with the REAL center and hope
we can participate in their future benefits.
We did what we did only to protect our fans
from precedented disappointment. I apologize for
any inconveniences caused by this unfortunate si rua-
tion.

To the Editor:
Last week, I became aware that East Caro-
lina University would not allow the ECU cheer-
leaders and ECU dance teams to attend the Na-
tional Cheering Competition even though both
teams qualified.
As a concerned and upset parent, I would
like to know why. These students spent many
hours practicing, giving up part of their Christ-
mas vacation to be with family and friends and
many early mornings and late nights, hoping to
get a chance to qualify for this very important
National Competition.
Apparently there is a serious communica-
tion problem at ECU. If it is the University's .
policy not to support this type of competition
then why weren't the students informed before
approximately 45 of them put in a month of
hard work practicing, hoping to compete na-
tionally? They never knew they would not be
able to compete even if they qualified!
To qualify forlhe Nationals is a very big
honor and an outstand ing accomplishment and
would bring national attention to ECU. It up-
sets me to know that cheering is apparently not .
recognized as a sport at 1 iy other
Universities do recognize it as a sport

TO SCORPIO FROM SCORPIO.
My mind changes with rash and im-
pulsive decisions. But unyielding and
rebellious and I do my own thing.
You said do what you do and say
what you say make it done in a Scor-
pio way. I want a break with a steak
or gourmet food with you. I must
pass and you meet the challenge. I
am the student and you the teacher.
I must make an A. If you want a
break tell me here Tuesday in a Scor-
pio way to meet you where we met
Friday night. Or tell a bartender on
Friday or Saturday night and I will
get your message. Ask me to say who
you are and I start my test. Some
thoughts are vivid they make you
look livid with color flush you brush
your hair with your hands. They act
like a potion and are a strong proof
that makes you think aloof. Are varia-
tions explosive but not harmful or
lethal? No drugsor drinking just pure
thinking. You are wired mentally,
emotionally, physically, intense,
loyal and somewhat sensitive. Hard
to satisfy faint hearted men need not
apply. You are persistent, intuitive,
strong. No need of approval from
others or groups and you do your
own thing. Immune to opinion mak-
ers. Like privacy and power and want
understanding but sometimes you
are not understood wanting peace
mingled with extreme you rehearse
it in a dream. Wanting a man to be in
your plan and in a scenario and scene.
Like intensity with positive with chal-
lenge. Is it hard because you want to
come on looking, feeling talking
strong. You think gamble also play
itsafe. Likeconfidenceindability to
dominate forces. Like knowledge,
intrigue, artistic and sexual experi-
mentation. Curiosity no; only book-
ish. Like tumbles not mumbles with
new angles and tangles. Think things
are seldom or they appearand study
behavior. You don't trust yourself
or others. Like mental experiments
beyond traditional and talk about
things sordid and unimaginable.
You are not an amateur because your
dad is a psychiatrist. You either think
moderation and tell guys what you
want or test him never disclosing all
of your expectations and some get
confused and don't measure up. You
test the limit of guys and like to win
at any cost even if the man is lost or
you don't lit that happen. You know
the game and how they are played
and don't bother wasting time. Scor-
pio it is from the book if you want to
take a look? I have to guess. Things
I cannot mention involving tension.
A man in control who responds with
ambitious strategies but you don't
consult other women on what your
strategy or response should be.
Think aboutcertain taboos. Are some
what competitive and you like forms
of play. You don't want to be dened
you just want to get your way. Yiu
laugh at the absurd. You like speat-
ing and have connections, have i
sense of humor but fits you throv
wanting absolute zero with a man
you do it alone. Hide intense emo-
tion under cool manner but are cal-
culated planner. Scorpio you like
the drastic have I somewhat seen
through you like plastic. You are a
Scorpio? From Scorpio.

Musical 'Sunday' was superb
By Gina Jones
Photo courtesy of ECU Performing Arts Series
Painter George Seurat uses his mistress Dot as a model for his mural
masterpiece "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island on La Grande Jatte
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
On Friday, Feb. 25, University
Unions Performing Arts Series pre-
sented the play "Sunday in the Park
withGeorge" at Wright Auditorium.
The musical, a Stephen
Sondheim-James Lapineproduction
is a Broadway original. It is based on
die French artist George Seurat's fa-
mous painting, "A Sunday After-
noon on the Island of La Grande
Jatte Although Seurat's life was an
inspiration for the play, the play it-
self is fictitious.
ActOneof "Sunday " takes place
in 1884, where George (played by
Adam Karsten) is sketching differ-
ent people for his painting. His main
svbject, both artistically and roman-
tically is Dot, (played by Wendy
Brown) who has childish dreams of
being in the follies. There were 10
musical numbers in the first act, but
the best were "Color and Light
performed by Dot and George,
"Beautiful performed by George
and another cast member, and "We
Do Not Belong Together per-
formed also by Dot and George.
Act Two takes place 100 years
later in 1984, where George's great-
grandson, George, also an artist, is
exhibiting his performance piece,
"Chromolume No. 7at an Ameri-
can art museum. To find inspiration
for his next work, George decides to
visit the island where his great-
grandfatner was inspired to paint
"Sunday Afternoon on the Island of
La Grande Jatte
George gets a visit from the ghost
of Dot, who tells him that he must
move on and do what he wants
artisticallv, not what the world ex-
pects from him. The best number in
ActTwowas"MoveQn performed
by Dot and George.
Overall, the performance of
"Sunday" was good. With a strong
supporting cast, actors Adam
Karsten and Wendy Brown shined
in their spotlight as two lovers who
wanted tc be together but could not.
Adam Karsten, who plays both
Georges, has performed as El Gallo
in "The Fantastics Jeffrey in
"Godspell and Sonny in "Grease
Wendy Brown, who plays Dot
and Marie, George's grandmother,
trained at the Cincinnati College
Conservatory of Music and went
on to play Dorothy in "The Wizard
of Oz Annie in "Annie Get Your
Gun and Val in "A Chorus Line
"Sunday" was written by
Stephen Sondheim and based on
the book of the same title by James
Lapine. The producers are Dennis
Hitchcock and Circa '21 produc-
tions. "Sunday in the Park" won a
Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1985
and a N.Y. Drama Critics Circle for
Best Musical in 1984. It was nomi-
nated for 10 Tony Awards and won
a Grammy for best show cast al-
bum.
"Sunday in the Park with
George" was a superb musical with
a great cast of actors, witty dialogue
and soothing music.
Irish Tenor
to sing for
St Patrick's
NEW YORK (AP) ? When
Frank Patterson sings about a man
being shipped to an Australian pe-
nal colony for stealing grain in' The
Fields of Arhenry you feel centu-
ries of Irish history weighing you
down.
Death, loss, exile, the po-
tato famine, the Easter Rebellion ?
the Irish songbook is rich with pa-
thos.
But Patterson, generally rec-
ognized as the greatest living Irish
tenor, is a cheer)' presence on stage
and off. In concert he varies rhree-
hankie ballads such as "Danny Boy"
with an upbeat "My Irish Molly O"
or a show tune.
"My audience now expects
me to do a certain repertoire
Patterson said during lunch in Man-
hattan. "The audience that follows
me, they know what they want They
want the great Irish songs. Then I can
also include the odd classical song or
something from shows, or interna-
tional songs or inspirational songs
Patterson spoke during a
break from preparations for hisbusi-
est time of the year, St. Patrick's Day.
Scheduled performances include
Carnegie Hall on March 14.
To American ears even
Patterson'sspeaking voice is beauti-
ful ? soft, lilting, musical. He has a
broad face with twinkling eyes and
a nose and chin that vaguely recall
Karl Maiden.
Pa tterson estimates that his
audience is 75 percent Irish. At a
recent concert on Long Island, sham-
rock-adorned sweaters were much
in evidence, as were nun's habits.
But it's not necessary to be Irish, or
Catholic, to appreciate his velvety,
lyric tenor and his evocative
storytelling.
In 1987, Patterson got a
chance to broaden his following
when John Huston offered him a
part in The Dead. The film, which
turned out to be the legendary
director's last, was based on a story
in James Joyce's "Dubliners
Patterson had been signed
to sing in the mov ie and was taken to
see Huston, who already had audi-
tioned dozens of actors for the role of
tenor Bartell D'Arcy.

Stegmonds classically rock Attic
By Nathan Ellis
Photo courtesy of The Stegmonds
The band includes Pete Fredrick, Chocolate Thorn Cooper, Michael
Thrower, Samuel Ross Earnhardt and Jeff "Sir Jeffrey" Alford III
Staff Writer
The Stegmonds' return to the
Attic on Saturday night not only
marked a homecomingfor the band
but a reaf firmation of what they do
best: play classic rock. The group's
origins date back to 1987, when the
chance meeting of two Greenville
musicians spawned the popular
cover band. Since then, some things
have changed?the band's lineup
and the introduction of original
material, to name a few. However,
one thing has not: The Stegmonds
have remained rigidly entrenched
in paying tribute to the genre of
classic rock.
But, taking into account the
sparse crowd that attended the At-
tic on Saturday night, one might
wonder if a demand still exists in
Greenville for their conceptualized,
guitar-rock approach. There is no
doubt that there is a place for clas-
sic rock in today's music scene?

Musician Lynch
continues to entertain
Texan touts international sounds
By Bridget Hemenway
Staff Writer
Music is an art form that
can mean many things to dif-
ferent people. For Ray Lynch it
is a way to touch feelings not
usually expressed.
Although the name Ray
Lynch may seem new, he has
been reaching people through
music for many years. This 50
year-old Texas native began his
musical career very early with
the piano. However, at the age
of 12, he was inspired by the
classic guitar which quickly be-
came his passion.
After three years of study-
ing full-time in Barcelona,
Spain, Lynch returned to Texas
where he composed symphonic
and chamber music, some of
which was performed by the
Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
While studying at the Univer-
sity of Texas, a group of madri-
gal singers invited him to join
the group as a iutist. Within a
matter of months Ray was well
on his way to becoming an ex-
pert Iutist. He then spent the
next seven years performing
with the Quartet and other
groups that were at the core of
New York City's revival of Me-
dieval, Renaissance and Ba-
roque music.
Ray eventually went out on
his own composing and per-
forming. Today, members of the
San Francisco Symphony Or-
chestra join him in the studio to
perform his colorful scores.
Ray's use of acoustic and elec-
tronic instruments creates a
unique style which has
reached and moved millions
of music lovers.
During a recent interview
with The East Carolinian, Ray
Lynch spoke about what he
hopes people will discover
through his music. "I don't
believe you can visualize
music as so many people try
to do. Music is something to
feel. Music is a window which
gives us permission to feel at
a level not ordinarily al-
lowed
When asked why he
chose classical format over
several other types of genres,
he responded, "During ado-
lescence I played in a rock
and roll band and even at-
tended backyard parties in
Texas where Roy Orbison
was playing but the music
never touched the same emo-
tions that the classic Renais-
sance style did
Lynch says that he is a
perfectionist when it comes
to his music. "I work by my-
self in the studio putting ev-
erything together piece by
piece. I work sort of as an
artist does with a plain can-
vas. I paint something on the
canvas, look at it for a while
and then go back and add
something to it
See LYNCH page 10

Ray Lynch has incredibly unique ways of looking at music and
the music has remained popular around the world.

Ska hit it big in England after
punk, but it never really crossed
the Atlantic. A few dedicated fans
caught on in the U.S. though, and
turned the JamaicanBritish im-
port into an American subculture.
Soon ska fans began to work to-
gether to establish a ska network
and support their own under-
ground.
In Marchl993, the Mighty
Mighty Bosstones became the first
ska band signed to a major label.
The Bosstones inked a seven-al-
bum deal with Mercury, perhaps
insuring that their punk-metal-
traditional ska scheme will be-
come the genre's major label tem-
plate. Their latest CD single is
called Simmer Down after the title
track, a Bob Marley re-make.

vious albums, Ska Gore-the Devil

For decades ska, the ancestor
of reggae, went unnoticed by
mainstream America. However,
with the resurgence of reggae in
the form of dance-hall music and
punk in the form of grunge, ska
has been eliciting underground

The other side, in Johnson's
case, means working as CBS' vice
president for daytime.
Nice work, especially these
days. Barring an upsetbeyondeven

day for a "bonus" episode to air at 10
p.m. EST.)
Along with "Y & R" and
"World CBS has television's oldest
soap, "Guiding Light" (which came
to TV in 1952), along with the newest,
"The Bold and the Beautiful" (age: a
not-that-young 7 years).
All lhat,plus"ThePrice Is Right"
(22 priceless seasons on CBS after a
righteous run elsewhere).
These five shows are the prov-
ince of Johnson, who soon observes
her own fifth anniversary helping
keep CBS on top. She describes her
job as one of daily maintenance.
Although "the Price Is Right"
with host Bob Barker "goes on its
own speed, we're very involved in
the soaps says Johnson, in New
York to look in on "World" and
"Light" (CBS' other pair originate
from Los Angeles, where sheisbased).
But even as CBS basks in Nielsen
sunshine, there are those who say the
future isn't bright for daytime soaps.
Indeed, last fall Entertainment
Weekly floated a trial obituary. The
magazine reported that their total
ratings have sunk 14 percent in the
past five years ? and noted that a
quarter-century ago, before cable be-
gan chipping away at network audi-
ences,everyToplOsoapscored higher
i .tings than "The Young and the
Restless" does today.
How to check this erosion? The
same way you confront other chal-
lengesin daytime, Johnsonsays. With
patience and commitment, two things
sdd om seen m me fly-by-night world
of prime time.
"The rule of thumb, which is
much different than a prime-time
psychology, is that we've got a loyal
core audience for our shows
Johnson explains.
That means we do everything
we can to retool and rebuild the
franchiseof a particularshow,rather
than saying, 'Well, it's slipped a little
in the ratings, so we'll put on a new
show in its place You can't assume
the audience will be there for that
new show.
"Daytime is glacial she says.
"Something takes a long time to fail,
and also a long time to catch on,
because people don't automatically

through the syndicated talk shows,
but not through soaps. Loyalty is a

Seagal's On Deadly Ground
4"?
vl
(AP)-Steven Seagal seems the
unlikeliest of action heroes. With his
receding hairline, bland looks and flat
voice, he resembles a smalltime stock-
broker more than a moie enforcer.
Yet a few movies have established
him as a contender to Arnold and Sly.
On Deadly Ground, which sold
$12.7miIlionworthof tickets inits first
weekend, will strengthen Seagal's
position No matter that it's clumsily
derivative,completelypredictableand
leadenly directed by the star himself.
Some of the lines might draw
hoots from more sophisticated audi-
ences. When the villain is captured
and hanging from his heels, he chal-
lenges, "Go ahead and shoot me The
hero replies, "I wouldn't dirty my
bulletson you He finds a nastier way
to dispatch his enemy.
Industrialist Michael Caine oper-
ates a huge Alaskan oil complex which
he is racing to complete so his mineral
rights won't revert to the Eskimos.
Seagal, an oil rigger and firefighter, is
appalled by Caine's wanton disregard
of the environment. He sides with the
Eskimos and declares a one-man war
on Caine, who calls up his own battal-
ion of thugs.
Filmmaker Seagal (his name ap-
pears six times in the credits) borrows
from numerous earlier films, from
Dances With Wolves to Western serials.
Seagal and his Eskimo companion,
Joan Chen, race their horses through a
forest, pursued by Caine's murder-
ers. The pair arrive at a chasm. He
leaves explosives on the ledge, and
they leap their horses to the other
side. The pursuers are foiled.
The inevitable climax arrives
with Seagal's destruction of the oil
complex.
He accomplishes this after
wholesale killings of the personnel.
The film ends with Seagal's oration
in the Alaska state house about the
fragile ecosystem. (Reportedly the
speech lasted a numbing 20 minutes
in preiewsandwaslater trimmed.)
Not much can be said about the
acting in "On Deadly Ground" ex-
cept that Michael Caine seems to
delight in the unrelenting meanness
of his character. He sports a black
hair-dye job, perhaps to underscore
his villainy.
Ed Horowitz and Robin U.
Russo are credited with the script,
and Seagal shares producer credit
with Julius R Nasso and A Kitman
Ho. The most impressive aspect of
the film is Ric Waite's photography
of the magnificent Alaskan land-
scapes, a better argument for pre-
serving our natural treasures than
the movie's preachments.
A Warner Bros, release, On
Deadly Ground is Rated R for lan-
guage and excessive violence. Run-
ning time: 153 minutes, of which 11 j
minutes are credits.

sound is loud, fast and aggres-

groove of ska with the uncom-

Bosstones' adrenalized perfor-
mances are widely touted as one
of the most exciting live acts in
alternative rock
Dicky Barrett, of the
Bosstones says on Simmer Down,
"Bob Marley is an artist and mu-

LYNCH
the continuing popularity of clas-
sic rock radio stations is proof of
that. In spite of this, the college
music's ties to it appear to be much
looser. The age of the patrons at-
tending the show seemed proof of
this; the middle-aged jeans-and-
sneakers set greatly outnumbered
the college students. In the context
of today's alternative-dominated
charts, however, the conservative
and mild-mannered crowd came
as little surprise.
The five piece band, con-
sisting of Pete Frederick on vocals
and guitar, "Chocolate"ThomCoo-
per on vocals and guitar, Michael
Thrower on piano and organ,
Samuel Ross Earnhardt on bass and
Jeff Alford III on drums, seemed
undeterred by the small showing.
The veteran group lit into their rou-
tine with enough flair to move the
older crowd in the energetic yet
serenelv reminiscent manner that
covers of the Allman Brothers, Roll-
ing Stones, Led Zeppelin and the
Doors evoke. The band moved
quicklv through their two sets, of-
ten neglecting to pause between
songs. The omission was under-
Continued from page 8
standable, considering the satisfac-
tion of seeing the crowd smile in
recognition of a classic riff or bass
line as opposed to a vocal introduc-
tion. The only tunes that needed
such explanation were the
Stegmonds originals, and even
those were obviously influenced
by their cover selections and
blended easily into theshow. Num-
bers that stood out included the
Doors' "Peace Frog" and a stomp-
ing rendition of Led Zeppelin's
"Hot Dog
From an overall stand-
point, the crowd seemed satisfied.
They knew what they werecoming
to hear, and The Stegmonds deliv-
ered it. But, like the tuneful favor-
ites they played, their musk seemed
meant for a different generation
then the Attic is used to. The seven
years since their formation have
wrought many changes in college
music, and perhaps it has strained
the once strong ties the Stegmonds
had with downtown Greenville.
Classic rock has its audience, but
maybe it is time the Stegmonds
tried different venues through
which to contact them.
His newest album, released
in September '93, Nothing Above
My Shoulders but the Evening is a
portrayal of Lynch's feelings
about human existence.
The title is a poetic way of
saying, "If one is 'headless if the

gies of survival) is temporarily
suspended, then one is left with
the 'evening a space in which
the depth and real meaning of

Lynch has previously re-
leased three other albums, The Sky
of Mind, Deep Breakfast and No
Blue Thing.
Currently, he is working on
his fifth release which he says will
take a while because he is such a
perfectionist. When asked where
he sees himself in five years, Lynch
says, "I think more of where the
music will be than where I will be
in five years. I'll still be writing
music, if I'm able. I hope the mu-
sic will become useful for more
and more people and will be lis-
tened to even 50 years from now.

The men's basketball team will open play against Richmond in the opening round of the CAA tournament in
Richmond, Va. Senior Lester Lyons (inset) hopes to have another opportunity to cut down the nets again.
By Brad Oldham.
Staff Writer
The 1994 Richfood-Colonial
Tournamen t begins this Sa turday,
and, as always, anything can hap-
pen.
The decision as to whether
Old Dominion or James Madison
would be the regular season cham-
pion came down to a coin flip.
Both teams had identical confer-
ence records, and both teams had
beaten the same teams through-
out the season. The Monarchs won
the toss, giving them the top seed
going into the tourney. This
matches them up against the last
place team of William & Mary.
This will be the first game on Sat-
urday at noon.
ODU comes into the tourna-
ment with a 10-4 record in the
CAA, 18-8 overall. Head coach
Oliver Purnell probably has the
most talented squad of players in
the conference. Led by sophomore
center Odell Hodge, who will
likely be CAA player of the year,
the Monarchs definitely look like
the team to beat. The 6-foot-9
Hodge was second in the CAA
in scoring, with 18.3 points a
game. He is an enormous force
inside, pulling down 8.5 re-
bounds a game, and averaging
two blocked shots per game. He
is also shooting 54 percent from
the field.
ODU also has 6-foot7 for-
ward Petey Sessoms, averaging
17.2 points a game, and shoot-
ing 42 percent from 3-point
range. With Kevin Larkin and
Kevin Swann in the backcourt,
the Monarchs are stacked in the
staring five. Their depth, on the
other hand, is a bit lacking. Los-
ing last season's CAA All-Rookie
pick Mario Mullen did not help
an already narrow roster. The
Monarchs won the CAA tour-
nament in 1992, but were upset
in the first round of last season's
CAA tournament by ECU.

Track teams set

(SID) ? After dismal per-
formances in the indoor season
and the chill in the Greenville
air this winter that kept the Pi-
rate track team injured and
undertrained, Bill Carson de-
cided to forego the Indoor Last
Chance meet held at George
Mason this weekend. The vet-
eran coach decided it was best
to keep his runners home to
focus on success in the outdoor

Black coaches and NCAA
officials talking once again
(AP) ? Even though it was
by phone and about all they
agreed upon was to confer again,
black coaches and NCAA offi-
cials warring over reduced schol-
arships and academic eligibility
are at least talking to each other
again.
Under the auspices of fed-
eral mediators, they held a 2172-
hour conference call Tuesday
night, seven weeks after mem-
bers of the Black Coaches Asso-
ciation threatened to boycott Di-
vision I-A basketball games over
the NCAA's refusal to restore a
14th scholarship.
"The parties had a frank ex-
change of views and planned to
schedule another session to con-
tinue the talks said RonTomalis
of the Justice Department's Com-
munity Relations Service, which
is now mediating the dispute.
Neither Tomalis nor the four
coaches, five NCAA officials and
three mediators who participated
in the conference call would com-
ment on what was discussed.
"It's just the beginning of dis-
cussions; the meeting itself is
progress said FrancisCanavan,
an NCAA spokesman.
The Olympics and schedul-
ing conflicts in the busy basket-
ball season forced the cancella-
tion of two previous attempts for
the two sides to meet face to face.
But several more meetings are
expected before the NCAA con-

Kerrigan image tarnished
(AP)?Days after losing outon
a gold medal, figure skater Nancy
Kerrigan is trying not to lose her
golden image.
While waiting to be awarded
the silver medal Friday, Kerrigan
was heard complaining that gold
medalist Oksana Baiul of Ukraine
was delaying the award ceremony.

at a Disney World parade Sunday,
she was recorded saying, "This is so

Knight back to
using old tricks
(AP)?Knight pulled four of his
starters iastSundayand benched them
for most of the game while Indiana
absorbed the school's worst defeat in
89 years, losing 106-56 to Minnesota.
The No. 17 Hoosiers apparently
understood Knight's plan as they
bounced back with an 82-77 triumph
over Illinois on Tuesday night.
Knight refused to speak to most
of the media after Tuesday's game
and would not allow his players to
speak to the media.
But Knight did talk to ESPN.
"If we didn't have an effort to-
night, we'll never get one he said.
"We didn't have much of one against
a team that played awfully well Sun-
day. Sometimes you lose rhebattie

Knight'sdecision tokeephisstart-
ers on the bench drew considerable
public criticism.
"We had no chance, so what dif-
ference does it make to try and make
a comeback and push everbody to the

(AP) ? Michael Jordan's
crack at the major leagues appar-
ently isn't too popular among
many baseball players.
"I know a lot of baseball play-
ers don't want to see him make it
because it will be a slap in the face
to them said former Kansas City
Royals third baseman George
Brett.
"The guys that I've talked to
that have been around the White
Sox camp say it's a joke. You have
all these guys that had great years
and all they are is a side show for
Michael Brett said Tuesday in
an interview after promoting a
new golf league for current and
former athletes.
Brett's comments come a day
after Seattle pitcher Randy
Johnson promised to give Jordan
some tight pitches should they
ever meet. Johnson also said he
was going to ask the NBA
SuperSonics for a tryout, adding
that he could probably block a
235-pounder out of the middle
better than Jordan can hit a base-
ball.
Brett talked about Jordan at
the Governor's Club golf course,
which is less than 10 miles from
where Jordan played basketball
? but not baseball ? for the Uni-
versity of North Carolina.
Brett, a future Hall of Famer
with more than 3,000 hits, is
considered oneofbaseball'sbest
hitting students. He changed his
batting stroke when he broke
into the major leagues, cutting
down his swing and going more
to the opposite field?a method
that produced a dozen .300
seasons.Brett said he hasn't seen
Jordan hit in person, but be-
lieves the former Chicago Bulls
guard must be going through
some growing pains.
"It gets to a point where
when you are swinging the bat
good you don't have negative
thoughts going through your
mind. You don't worry about
your fundamentals Brett said.
"Michael is going through a
point right now where he has so
many things going through his
mind.
"OK, where is your weight,
on the ball of your feet? Where's
your hands? Where's your
head? Are you striding in too
much? You can't hit if you're
thinking about all those things
Brett added.
"He has a lot of things he
has to learn about the game of
baseball before he can become a
player
Brett said it's unfair to com-

Tech might be without
Forrest against Clemson
(AP)?Georgia Tech's lead-
ing scorer, James Forrest, will
possibly miss Saturday's home
finale against Clemson with a
severely sprained ankle.
Forrest, a h-foot-S junior for-
ward averaging 19.4 points per
game, did not accompany the
Yellow jackets to Tallahassee
Tuesdav. Eddie Elisma, a fresh-
man, will start in his place.
"When you play without
James it really hurts you Tech
coach Bobby Cremins said. "But
we're gonna make the best of a
tough situation, give it every-
thing we've got. We've been
very fortunate (historically) with
injuries here, so I'm not gonna
complain
But with guard Drew Bam-
also out with a broken bone in
his foot, Tech cannot afford a
prolonged absence by Forrest if
it is to secure a 10th straight
NCAA tournament bid.
Tech, 15-10 overall and 6-8
in the ACC, would probably
need to at least split its last two
games.
Despite a strong power rat-
ing and two wins over North
Carolina, a 6-10 conference
record would not be attractive
to the NCAA Tournament se-
lection committee.
Forrest sprained the ankle
in Saturday's 81 -69 victory over
North Carolina State. X-rays
were negafive but there was sig-
nificant swelling and pain. He
has sprained the ankle twice
earlier this season.
Clemson already hasbeaten

vention next January, where any
changes in its rules would have
to be made.
Tomalis declined to say when
the two sides would talk again,
and whether it would be in per-
son or another conference call.
He also said both sides agreed
not to comment on the black
coaches' various grievances
against the NCAA until, if and
when any agreement is reached.
The Community Relations
Service, created out of civil rights
legislation in the 1960s, can at-
tempt to nudge the two sides to-
ward agreement but has no en-
forcement authority to impose a
settlement.
It entered the dispute at the
prodding of the 40-member Con-
gressional Black Caucus, which
also requested the coaches to
forego their threatened boycott
out of fears it would disrupt the
basketball season.
NCAA officials participating
in the conference call included
president Joseph Crowley, execu-
tive director Cedric Dempsey and
University of Colorado president
Judith Albino, who chairs the
NCAA's president's commission.

Purvis replaces Bonnett at Winston Cup Race
(AP) ? When Jeff Purvis
takes the wheel of the No. 51
Country Time Chevrolet in less
than two weeks, it will be an ac-
complishment that would have
made his late friend Neil Bonnett
proud.
"Neil always had a lot of faith
(in me) Purvis said. "I believe
he would be glad for me
Purvis had mixed emotions
Tuesday when it was announced
he wil 1 take over the Winston Cup
ride of Bonnett, who died in a
crash last month at Daytona In-
ternational Speedway.
"We'll never get over his
loss said Purvis, 35, of
Clarksville, Tenn. "Neil and 1
were good friends, sc this gives
me an added incentive to per-
form
He'll get his first chance on
March 13 during the race at At-
lanta Motor Speedway.
Purvis has won 350 races in 20
years of racing but has only lim-
ited Winston Cup experience with
only eight starts in 1993. Three
were with lames Finch, who will
continue as owner of the Phoenix
Racing team, Bonnett's crew on
the No. 51 Chevy.
It was Bonnett who advised
him to make the jump into stock
ear racing's top circuit, Purvis said
Tuesday.
Bonnett, 47, of Bessemer, Ala
had planned to enter up to six
Winston Cup races this year as he
tried to make a comeback from a
serious head injury he sustained
in a 1990 crash.
Bonnett, who won 18 Win-
ston Cup races, had become one
oi the sport's most respected tele-
vision analysts. On Feb. 11, he was
killed when his car hit the fourth-
turn wall on the 2 1, 2-mile oval
during the opening practice tor
the Daytona 500.
The deal announced Tuesday
calls for Purvis to run in eight
Winston Cup races and seven
Grand National races. The deal
with sponsor Country Time cov-
ers only the 1994 season.
Finch and Purvis have raced
together in other circuits for more
than a decade.
"1 knew Neil would want us
to carrv on and his son, David, to
carry on Finchsaid. "Webelieve
Neil would haveapproved of Jeff's
selection and encouraged us to
continue with our NASCAR
TOURNAMENT
plans he said.
Joel I lenrv of Country Time
said Purvis was the logical choice.
When a driver keepsa strong
affiliation with the same team for
more than 10 vears, there must be
a chemistry that has produced a
formula for success he said.
"James Finch and Jeff Purvis have
that chemistry
Purvis also plans to enter both
races this year atTalladega as well
as events in Charlotte, Michigan,
Davtona, Phoenix and the history-
making first Winston Cup race at
Indianapolis Motor Speed way on
Aug. 6.
"We're dedicating this season
to Neil Bonnett he said. "Weare
going to work as hard as any team
out there. We feel we can win
some of these races

be an easy task for the Tribe.
Coached by Chuck Swenson,
W&M finished an abysmal 2-12 in
the CAA, and 4-22 overall. The
two conference wins however,
came against UNC-Wilmington
and East Carolina, showing that
the Tribe are capable of playing
good basketball in this conference.
William & Mary is led by jun-
ior guard Kurt Small, averaging
15.7 points per game this season.
A pleasant surprise for the Tribe
this season has been the play of
sophomore David Cully, who is
leading the conference in both re-
bounds, with 8.8 per game, and
blocked shots, with 2.6 per game.
The Tribe will have their hands
full with ODU, especially consid-
ering that Purnell will have last
season's first round upset loss on
his mind.
Game two matches up the
fourth-ranked Spiders of Rich-
mond (8-6 in the CAA, 13-13 over-
all) against the Pirates (7-7 in the
CAA, 15-11 overall), last year's
tournament champions.
UR head coach Bill Dooley
turned up the heat late in the sea-
son, winning eight of his last 11
games. The Spiders are led by
guards Kass Weaver, shooting 55
percent from the field, and senior
Gerald Jarmon. The leading scorer
for Richmond is senior forward
Mike Hodges, averaging 15.3
points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
Richmond will have the home
court advantage over ECU, win-
ning 25 of 34 games played against
the Pirates in the Virginia capital,
13 in a row. The Spiders have also
won all three meetings against
ECU in CAA Tournament history.
The two teams split in the regular
season.
Winning last year'sC A A tour-
nament was a monumental step
towards success this season for
ECU head coach Eddie Payne and
his Pirates. Finishing in fifth place
might not have been what Pirate
fans had been hoping for this sea-
son, but ECU did achieve only
their second winning season in 11
years. The Pirates started hot this
season at 9-3, but hit a down spot
soon after, losing five of their next
seven games. ECU got a big over-
time win against first-round op-
ponent Richmond in Minges Coli-
seum, but that win might be over-
shadowed by late-season losses to
ODU, JMU and UNC-W going into
the tournament.
The Pirates are led by pre-
season conference MVP Lester
Lyons, averaging 16.6 points per
game, and shooting 85 percent
from the free-throw line. The Pi-
rate senior has been a force on
defense this season, and so have
fellow seniors Curlev Young and
Wilbert Hunter. ECU is 13-2 this
season when holding opponents
under 75 points. Center Anton Gill
has stepped up his game in the
second half of the season, push-
ing his average up to 14.2 points
per game and 6.3 rebounds per
game.
Game three of the first round
matches up second placeJMU(10-
4 in theC A A, 17-9 overall) against
the Eagles of American Univer-
sity (5-9 in the CAA, 8-18 overall).
The Dukes are led bv senior
forward Clayton Ritter, averag-
ing 17.9 points per game, and
shooting 63.5 percent trom the
field. Guard Kent Culuko has also
played extremely well this season
for the Dukes, averaging 17.3
points per game and shooting 46
percent from 3-point range.
The Eagles of American are
led by former high school team-
mates at Chantillv High School in
Fairfax, Va. Both Tim Fudd and
Darrvl Franklin played for the
Chargersof Chantillv before team-
ing up in nearby Washington, DC.
to play for coach Chris Knoche
and American. Fudd is the CAA
leader in scoring with 18.9 points
per game. Franklin is one of the
best 3-point shooters in the con-
ference, with an average of 43 per-
cent on the season. The Eagles
pulled off big upsets this season
against Old Dominion, James
Madison and Richmond.
The final game of the first
round will pit the third-place
Seaha wks of U NC-Wi lmington (9-
5 in theC A A, 16-9 overall) against
the Patriots of George Mason (5-9
in the CAA, 10-16 overall).
UNC-W is coached by Kevin
Eastman, who has made the most
of his team this season, despite
their lack of speed and size. The
Seahawks plaved an inconsistent
second half of the season, beating
teams such as ODU and Ameri-
can, and then losing three in a row
to William & Mary, Old Domin-
ion, and Richmond.
The Patriots of GMU have
made significant improvements
this season under new head coach
Paul Westhead. GMU upset Rich-
mond earlier this year, and have
one of the quickest backcourts in
the CAA with Troy Manns and
Donald Ross. Manns has led the
CAA in assists all season long
while Ross has led the team in
scoring with 17 1 pointst jrgame.
The Patriots fast-paced style may
provoke havoc in the tournament,
especially against the much slower
Seahawks of UNC-W.
The tournament holds many
possibilities within itself. One
thing that is certain is that this
year's CAA tournament will be
one of the most dramatic ever,
with just about any team in the
conference capable of pulling off
some upsets.
Just ask East Carolina.
