SGA experiences a successful summer
By Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
SGA President Ian Eastman
and his newly appointed cabinet
probably do not feel like they had
much of a summer, as they were
busy at work helping the univer-
sity.
Early in the summer,
Eastman told The East Carolinian
that he had several primary goals
for the summer. The hard work of
the SGA members paid off as ev-
ery goal was achieved.
"We accomplished every-
thing that we wanted to during the
summer Eastman said.
Students will no longer have
to worry abou t ho w they a re going
to pay their tuition bills which al-
ways seem to come at the wrong
time of the month. Now, students
can pay their bills, including room
and board if applicable, in install-
ments spread out over the year.
Unfortunately, it may be too late in
coming for some students.
"The tuition payment plan
will be going into effect in the fall
of '95 Eastman said.
The SGA executive staff trav-
eled to UNC-Wilmington Aug. 18
and 19 to discuss the pros and cons
of the system with university offi-
cials. UNC-W currently employs
the payment plan.
Another project which
Eastman says is almost accom-
plished, is the establishment of a
24-hour study hall during exam
periods. Students will be able to
study in areas such as Mendenhall
all night long. At the time of the
interview, Eastman said he was
waiting to talk to Director of Din-
ing Services Frank Salamon, to dis-
cuss food services during the study
hall.
For the night owls of the uni-
versity, SGA is trying to expand
the hours of the library past the
current midnight closing time.
"We are currently in the pro-
cess of seeing if we can extend the
library's hours until somewhere
around 3 a.m Eastman said.
Additionally, Eastman says
he hopes that the hours of the com-
puter labs in General Classroom
and Austin will also be extended.
Eastman and university offi-
cials such as Chancellor Eakin and
Assistant Vice Chancellor for Busi-
ness Affairs George Harrell met at
night to make a walking tour of the

Todd Dining Hall, located on College Hill, opened June 6. Situated in a scenic wooded area, Todd
features a pavilion style seating arrangement, exclusive seating and banquet facilities.
Public Safety cracking down
News Editor
College Hill residents recently
lost their grassy knoll, sunbathing
haven and tennis courts, but the
exchange may ha ve been worth the
sacrifice. Todd Dining Hall, a state-
of-the-art dining facility, opened its
doors on June 6, after a 19-month
construction period.
During a luncheon held for
members of the press, Frank
Salamon, director of Dining Ser-
vices, led the group of reporters
and distinguished university offi-
cials around the 35,400-square-foot
facility.
"You decide what you want
to eat and where you want to go
he said.
Todd opened just in time for
orientation, as well as both summer
sessions, and so far there have only
been positive responses from both
students and parents, Salamon said.
"Todd HaU will allow us to
Teri Howell
Staff Writer
have an expanded variety of food
with different stations in the ser-
vice court that specialize in their
own unique menu Salamon said
during an interview.
The new dining hall provides
a rotating circle of foods that in-
cludes a delicatessen, where sand-
wiches of choice can be made, a
pasta section that serves fresh hot
pasta, and a grilling area that spe-
cializes in burgers and other fast
f ood i terns. There is also a self-serv-
ing area with soups and salads,
breads and bagels, frozen yogurt,
ice cream and a wide choice of bev-
erages.
"I like the new hall because
there is no tray activity or messy
beverage problems Salamon said.
"The dining space is truly dedi-
cated to dining and this complete
separation of food from the dining
area is very beneficial
The layout of the dining
hall is in a circular fashion, there-
fore there is noconfusionbetween
tray drop-off and the food-serv-
ing areas.
Todd Hall, which was cre-
ated to complement the older
structures on campus is located
in a wooded area, upon College
Hill. The building iscomposed of
brick and glass, with a red roof
tiles, copper gutters and window
trim.
"We have created what I'm
calling a 'modified food court'
concept Salamon said at a re-
cent press luncheon held in the
facility.
Todd seats 650 people
throughout the eight or nine dif-
ferent seating areas, including
booths, private tables and an
atrium area surrounded on three
sides by trees.

ECU'S Public Safety de-
partment wants students, faculty
and staff to know and under-
stand just what the department
is here to do. With expanding
patrol units and new faces in the
department, Public Safety's ca-
pabilities are rapidly growing,
but they need the cooperation
and consideration of the cam-

like any police officers in North
Carolina, Crocker said.
Public Safety operates 24

officers on foot patrol, bike pa-
trol and in vehicles. The officers
have assigned zones, and there
are usually at least four, but usu-
ally five, officers on duty at one

GVille survives a long and eventful summer
By Teri Howell
Staff Writer
For those students who were
able to get away this summer,
maybe to the beach, some far-off
exotic location or even home, they
missed the excitement of Green-
ville in the summer. Graduates par-
ticipated in the annual commence-
ment, buildings were renovated
and violent storms raged across
eastern North Carolina. Although
it was a hot and humid summer, it
was not a dull one.
May 18 ? Approximately
2,100 ECU graduates marched
across theFicklenstadium field clad
in black robes. Bubbles floated
through the air as Daniel Schorr, a
well known journalist, gave the
commencement speech on the years
he devoted to journalism.
May 25 ? Umstead and Slay
residence halls began renovations,
incl uding new plumbing, electrical
wiring and hall carpeting. All rooms
will have air conditioning, and new
desks and beds. Emmanuele
Amaro, director of Housing, said
that in the future the two buildings
will be connected, but until then
they remain separated by a court-
yard.
June 1 ? On May 6, ECU
Board of Trustees approved a $97
increase in student fees. The in-
crease includes $40 for the Minges
Coliseum renovation, $35 for ath-
letic programs, $16 will go towards
Rec center staffing and programs,
$4 to transit services and $1 to both
the fine arts program and the Stu-
dent Fund Acting Office (SFAO).
June8?Newly elected SGA
president Ian Eastman was busy
this summer making plans for a
prtxiuctiveupcomingyearatECU.
Eastman hopes to set up funds for a
tutorial service, the Student Sup-
port Service, as well as beginning a
payment plan that will allow stu-
dents to pay their tuition every few
months. Eastman says he is looking
to better ECU's reputation.
June 15 ? NCSU is renovat-
ingCarter-Finley as ECU renovates
Mingescoliseum, however, thecity
of RaleighWake County and the
Student Aid Foundation are pro-
viding the funds necessary for a
23,000 seat complex near Carter-
Finley. The NCSU arena will total
around $70 million, while the
Minges renovation project will cost
$11.4 million, with $8.9 million
stemming from student fees.
June 22?The medical school
at rCU received a grant funded by
th Robert Wood Johnson Founda-
tion (RVVJ) which could allow the
student health center to provide
quicker and more efficient service
to students. RVVJ pledged ECU's
medical school a total of $1.35 mil-
lion for the first three-year-phase.
ECU also hopes to persuade more
graduates to practice medicine A

Long lines,
new rules
await
students
By Wendy Rountree
Staff Writer
Every institution must
establish rules to run effec-
tively. ECU is no exception,
which can be seen in changes
made to parking, dropadd
procedures and dorm visi-
tation policies.
This fall, parking is
more difficult than usual
because of the lack of park-
ing spaces on campus. This
situation is probably even
more difficult for freshmen
who are learning the cam-
pus for the first time.
"Parking will be very
critical in the fall said Pat
Gertz, director of Parking
and Traffic Services.
All ECU parking and
traffic rules have been en-
forced since the first day stu-
dents moved into the dorms,
and freshmen and commut-
ing students have especially
needed to use the shuttle
buses.
Freslimen with valid
parking permits are allowed
to park in the following three
locations: the Fourth and
Reade Street lot which has
120 spaces, the Third and
Reade Street lot which has
350 spaces, and the Curry

While ECU alumni and
friends are generously donating
money to the Shared Visions cam-
paign, North Carolina taxpayers
are helping renovate the re-
nowned Carolina Inn in Chapel
Hill.
Recently, the Carolina Inn
has shut its doors to renovate and
expand its facilities, while ECU is
continuing to raise money inde-
pendently for upgrades in current
structures, such as Joy ner Library,
the Leo Jenkins Cancer Center and
a Diabetes Center.
These renovations are just a
part of the Capital Improvement
Projects currently taking place at
ECU. At the First Annual Media
Day, held July 27 in Todd Dining
Hall, Director of Facilities Plan-
ning Bruce Flye addressed the
group of reporters, photographers
and media specialists on the cur-
rent status of projects, such as the
library expansion.
Todd Dining Hall, a $6 mil-
lion project, was completed in the
spring and opened on June 6. Todd
seats over 600 diners and it situ-
ated on College Hill which houses
2,400 students in five residence
halls. Todd Dining Hall was
named for the late Richard Cecil
Todd and his wife Clauda Pennock
Todd. Dr. Todd retired in 1977
after 27 years as a history profes-
sor. Additionally, the Todds pro-
vided ECU with schlorships, fel-
lowships and financial aid pro-
grams, as well as a $lmillion en-
dowment.
Special multi-purpose
rooms in Todd will host athletic
teams and other special functions.
The dining hall is self-supporting,
proceeds from the sale of food will
pay for the facility's cost.
The Joyner Library expan-
sion began in early May, with a
groundbreaking ceremony May 6.
The project includes an addition
of 164,000 square feet, as well as
modifications to the pre-existing
structure. The entire project bill
totals $30 million and will take
three and a half years to complete.
The addition will be completed in
two years.
The funds used for the Joyner
additions and renovations were
awarded from a bond referendum
voted on in November. Once com-
pleted, the front of Joyner, which
will be moved to the Tenth Street
side, will be a gateway with a so-
phisticated water sculpture.
During renovation, there
will be a "move-in" period where
library services are shifted from
one location to another. Gradu-
ally, the books and other library
components will find their way to
the new portion of the library and
to the renovated sectors.
According to Chancellor
Eakin, the architects of various
campus projects are aiming to pre-
serve the current architecture.
"We believe that some of the
oldest architecture at East Caro-
lina University is some of the best
architecture Eakin said during
the Media Day.
Another major portion of the
Capital Improvements Projects is
the Student Recreation Center,
which began in November and
should be completed in Decem-
ber of 1995. The 150,000 square
feet facility will house indoor and
outdoor pools, six basketball
courts, tennis courts and a state-
of-the-art weight training center.
The Rec Center will be lo-
cated on three and a half acres
west of Mendenhall. The total bill
for the Rec center is $17,976,200.
ECU Alumni have been re-
ceiving donation cards to pledge
money for the Cupola project. The
old cupola from the old Austin
Building will be recreated to twice

side the Rec center. According to
Flye, this is a gift project funded
by donations. Donors who give a
high enough sum of money can
have a brick with an inscription
placed in the cupola.
Although Minges Coliseum
appears to be "gutted-out reno-
vations are expected to be com-
pleted by the opening basketball
game.
"We are terribly excited
about the new programs we are
putting in place Eakin said.
The Minges renovations,
which totaled $11,400,000, were
partially funded from the state.
Other money came from private
donations and student fees. After
completion, William's arena will
be totally reconfigured, adding
1,500 seats, as well as air condi-
tioning and a new playing floor.
"Minges is no longer under
de-struction Flye said. "Now it
is under construction. It will be a
first-class facility
Slay and Umstead residence
halls, built in the 50s, will also be
receiving a much needed face-lift.
The barracks-type facility will be-
come a much more accommodat-
ing setting with air-conditioning.
The project will cost $6 million
and should be completed by next
May. The two buildings will be
joined by a 10,000 square foot ac-
tivities building.
"Another project that you
can not see is the $13 million
fiber optics project Flye said.
The first phase of the
project, which began in the
spring, is mostly complete. The
system will provide a completely
new network for voice, data and
video. As a result, telephone pre-
fixes on camp us have all changed
to 328 (ECU).
College students need to
eat; therefore, the Wright Place
is due for an expansion. A sun-
lit space with accommodations
for 100 will be added, as well as
a grill and a student outdoor
plaza. The current asphalt drive
in front of the Wright Place will
be replaced with a sidewalk-type
paving with no vehicle access.
Other campus projects in-
clude the Life Sciences Expan-
sion, which will contain addi-
tional space for animals, and a
research facility. After additional
funds are received, further de-
signing will continue. The ex-
pansion will cost $12 million.
The Brody Clinics are also
being renovated to provide a pa-
tient-friendly atmosphere for
outpatients. The clinic renova-
tions will cost a little over $2
million, and should be com-
pleted late this year.
Other small projects bring

Career Services aims to help ease the pain of job hunting
By Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
Four years may seem like
an eternity when entering col-
lege as a freshman, but as many
people have found out, time
runs out quickly, especially
when the end result is joining
the work force. Starting your
career exploration early can help
ease the anxiety when gradua-
tion approaches and the finan-
cial aid bill collectors come
knocking on doors.
Career Services, located in
Bloxton House, is designed to
"facilitate career development
for students and alumni by pro-
viding career-related educa-
tional opportunities and ser-
vices says their brochure.
Bloxton House is located next to
Greene Hall, across from
Mendenhall. During their senior
year, students may register with
career services, and are encour-
aged to attend seminars on re-
sume' writing and interviewing
skills. Once Career Services has
received the necessary informa-
tion from the student, the
student's resume's and creden-
tials are given to employers
upon request.
It may seem as though the
service is basic, but when deal-
ing with nearly 400 employers,
things can begin to get confused,
crowded and cramped. Within
the next year, the Career Ser-
vices office will be relocated to
the old Human Resources House
at 701 E. Fifth Street. Currently,
members of the Career Services
staff are working to make infor-
mation more accessible to both
the student and the employer
who may seek knowledge.
Many students believe
they have plenty of time to waste
before they need to go to Career
Services. According to Dr. James
Westmoreland, director of Ca-
reer Services, career exploration
should begin as soon as the stu-
dent enters college.
"We want freshmen to ex-
plore career possibilities as early
as possible he said.
During a student's first
year, they should demonstrate
good academic performance,
Westmoreland said. Once a
student's GPA begins to drop, it
is difficult to bring it back up. It
is easy to lay in bed and not get
up for class, especially when
mom is not hovering over the
bed, but Career Services encour-
ages students to go to class. If
missing a class is necessary, they
advise letting the professor
know in advance. This shows
the professor that the student
actually cares about the class.
Career services also urges
student to get out and meet
people. In the long run, know-
ing people can really be benefi-
cial to a person's professional
career.
"The networking will al-
low job possibilities
Westmoreland said.
During a student's second
year they should begin to choose
majors. This is an ideal time to
learn about potential majors and
find out what is out there,
Westmoreland said. Maybe the
career a student thinks is their
ideal, is not. By joining campus
committees, organizations and
clubs, the student can meet more
people, make more friends and
have more contacts.
According to the four-year
plan suggested by Career Ser-
vices, a sophmos feet are
firmly planted in ECU soil, so
they are probably ready for a
part-time job. Having a job will
even help the parents who are
probably paying the bills. Stop
by the Cooperative Education
(Co-Op) in General Classroom
2300 to learn more about find-
ing a job suitable for your needs
and time schedule.
Once in the junior year, the
student has probably chosen a
major, has some work experi-
ence and is beginning to con-
sider "real job" possibilities. The
student should find out about
clubs that are related to their
major, such as American Mar-
keting Association (AMA) or the
Society for Technical Commu-
nication (STC).
Now that the student has
gotten those dreaded courses,
like Algebra and Biology, out of
the way, they should begin to
enjoy their courses by choosing
courses that interest them, says
the plan. The student will begin
to realize that they can actually
appreciate their professors and
they may want to register for
other courses taught by the same
professor. Research career op-
portunities by discussing career
potentials with alumni in your
department and others in the
field you are studying. Also,
keep track of work experience,
honors and activities and pos-
sible references. Continue to
seek work experience through
Co-Op.
"The opportunity to have
students think about their ca-
reer objectives is critical in their
educational development
Westmoreland said.
September 1 of the
student's senior year, if they are
graduating in December, May
or during the summer, or last
year, is D-day for registering
with Career Services. Addition-
ally, graduate students in their
last year should register at this
time. Although the student can
register at any time during the
year, Westmoreland highly rec-
ommends registering as soon as
possible. Contact Career Ser-
vices to find out when registra-
tion seminars will be held. These
sessions are also announced in
The East Carolinian in the classi-
fied section.
"There are companies who
come in the fall, who don't come
back in the spring hp Sc Id.
Attend a registration ses-
sion to pick up reference forms
and other related information.
After the registration, students
should give ten copies of their
resume to career services to send
to potential employers. The stu-
dent is given three reference
forms whicn should be given to
a person who will give an hon-
est and good recommendation.
The reference forms are either
Confidential or Non-Confiden-
tial. Career Services recom-
mends that students mark the
form Confidential, in which case
the student would not be al-
lowed to see the form. This
shows the reference writer that
the student trusts their judg-
ment and that if they can not
give a good reference they will
tell the student so. Additionally,
this shows employers that the
student feels confident enough
about themself that they do not
need to see the reference form.
If you do not think someone will
give you a positive reference,
do not ask them. The student is
responsible for being certain
that adequate resumes stay on
file at Career Services.
Once registered with Ca-
reer Services, the student will
receive Job Guide, a monthly
newsletter announcing job
openings, interview sessions
and other related information.
Students are also encouraged to
attend resume writing work-
shops to help make their re-
sumes stand-out and contain
pertinent information. Inter-
viewing skills workshops are
also available.
Within the Career Services
office are resource rooms con-
taining information on compa-
nies, government agencies and
other potential employers. Stu-
dents can stop by and look

from Mendenhall and beside Greene residence hall. Within the
year, the office location will change to 701 E. Fifth Street.
through this information.
SIGI-Plus, a computer sys-
tem has been set up to help stu-
dents in the career search. Stu-
dents should schedule a time to
use SIGI through Career Ser-
vices.
"There is a computerSIGI
which one can use to explore
career options and salaries that
one might expect
Westmoreland said.
Orientation sessions will
be held August 30 and 31 at
3:00 p.m. in Mendenhall room
244 and September 1 at 5:00
p.m. in Jenkins Art Building
Auditorium. Students in their
senior year or graduate stu-
dents who will be graduating

mer are encouraged to attend.

ECU Transit
alleviates
headaches
By Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
Who needs the hassle of
standing in line at Parking and
Traffic Services, in the boiling
August heat and humidity, to
pay $75 for a sticker that will
get you nothing but a head-
ache every day you drive to
campus and realize that some-
one else beat you to the last
spot? The solution is simple.
Save vour money and ride the
bus; it's free.
With six buses operat-
ing in the Greenville area,
Transit Manager Ryland
Walters believes that the bus
is the way to go.
We are trying to push
the commuter students, who
live locally, to ride the bus
this year Walters said.
This method is free and
it is convenient. The buses
leave campus on the half-hour
from 7:20 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
There are four bus lines:
brown, gold, purple and the
newest silver line. The gold
lijie runs until 9:00 p.m. each
night, serving the Plaza, Har-
ris Teeter and apartment com-
plexes located in the Plaza
region.
Currently 24 apartment
complexes throughout Green-
ville are being served by the
Transit service. ECU Transit
Operations and Recreational
Services will be working to-
gether to post announcements
and flyers around apartment
communities to inform com-
muters of the bus services.
"It's hard to get in touch
with the students when we
aren't actually in school
? Walters said.
Walters said temporary
bus stop signs will be posted
to let riders know of pick-up
locations. Additionally, the
Greenville streets have been
marked to let the drivers know
where the stops are.
Booths will be set up
around campus during the
first week of school, where
students can pick up informa-
tion on the transit services
such as exact pick-up times
and stop locations.
In the past, the bus ser-
vices have only been avail-
able for students, as the ser-
vices are funded by student
fees. This year, Walters said
that thanks to a small stipend
given to Transit Operations,
the bus service will now be
open to the entire university
community.
"Faculty and staff are
now eligible to ride our
buses he said.
Walters also encouraged
students to purchase a Lim-
ited parking sticker for $30.
The Limited sticker allows the
person to park at the Minges
lot until 4 p.m. and in Univer-
sity registered spaces after 4
p.m. By parking at Minges,
students can take the shuttle
service to campus and avoid
the congestion of typical "on-
campus" parking.
"Commuter shuttle is
going to play a big role this
year Walters said.
In the past, the Minges
lot has been designated for
freshmen, but the freshmen
lot has been relocated to Al-
lied Health to add additional
spaces for commuters. Fresh-
men do not need to worry,
however, because they will
not have to walk from Allied
Health.
"We are extending our
freshmen shuttle service
Walters said.
The commuter shuttle is
available from 7:30 a.m. until
5:30 p.m. It leaves the Minges
parking lot every 10 minutes
until 2:00 p.m. and every 20
minutes thereafter. The
shuttle drops students off at
Christenbury Gym. Two of the
six buses run by the Transit
Service are used for the shuttle

Charities help kids IJlilililililililili

Staff Writer
Th&Ronald McDonald House
and Ronald McDonald Children's
Charities are both organizations that
strive to helpchildren and their fami-
lies; however, the two organizations
remain different in several aspects.
"In a year, over 550 fami-
lies stay at the House in Greenville
said Stephanie Barnard, public rela-
tions director for the Ronald
McDonald House in Greenville,
which opened in 1987.
"The Ronald McDonald
House was formed in 1973 when a
football player named Fred Hill
learned that his daughter had leuke-
mia shesaid. "Henoticed the need
for places for families to stay when
their children were in the hospitaLso
he proposed the idea of building a
house to McDonald's restaurants.
"McDonald's agreed to fund the
house if thev used the McDonald's
name,andthefirsthousewasstarted
in Philadelphia
There are now over 150
Houses around the world. In North
Carolina, houses are located in
Chapel Hill,Durham, Greenville and
Winston-Salem.
"Funding for the houses
come from three sources Barnard
said. "McDonald's supplies 10 per-
cent, room fees supply 10 percent
and the community provides the
3
s
houses with 80 percent of funding
Additional funding comes
from the Luminary Project at Christ-
mas and the Michael Jordan Celeb-
rity Golf Classic, held in the spring.
"There is a $10 room fee,
but some people are not able to pay,
but we never turn anybody away
Barnard said. "Our primary goal is
to provide a home away from home
for seriously ill children
Ronald McDonald
Children's Charities is connected
with the Ronald McDonald House,
but focuses on different programs.
Children Charities was
founded in 1984 in memory of
McDonald's founder Ray Kroc. The
Children's Charities organization
focuses on three main areas: health
care and medical research, educa-
tion and the arts, and civic and social
services.
The organization helps the
Ronald McDonald House wi th fund-
ing, but does not own or operate any
of the houses.
Donations to the Ronald
McDonald House can be sent to

ern North Carolina, 549 Moye Blvd,

Cops patrol on bikes
s
By Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
It seems as though the good
ol' days those before technology,
have returned, as ECU Public Safety
officials have now begun patrolling
on bicycles rather than patrol cars.
Nearly a year has passed since
the patrol officers first took to cam-
pus on two wheels rather than four
last September. Their impact has
been so well received that more
have been hired. Currently, there
are three full-time bicycling patrol
officers, but two more will begin
work in the next several months.
"The bike is just another tool
in police work said Johnnie
U mphlet, one of the bicyclin g squad
members and an ECU alumnus.
Umphlet is joined by Rich
Davis and Brian Powell to comprise
the squad which patrols the cam-
pus on a 24-hour-a-day basis. Cur-
rently, the men patrol the campus
on two shifts 7a.m. until 7p.m. and
7p.m. until7a.m. Soon theshift will
run from 10 a.m. until 4 a.m.
"The 7-7 shift is what every-
one works Davis said. "When we
.have enough coverage of people,
we'll go to 10-4
The squad is equipped with
Trek 8000 bikes with Rock Shocks
on the front, 21 gears, 20-Watt Cat
lights and saddle bags for carrying
various paraphernalia. The tires are
larger than those on ordinary road
and racing bikes, which contributes
to their effectiveness on the terrain.
Each bike cost about $1,200.
Two of the bikes were purchased by
SGA, the other two were bought
using Public Safety budget funds.
Besidesbeingfar lessexpensive than
a patrol car, the bikes have low
maintenance costs and no fuel cost.
So far the bikes have only required
a total of $25 in repair costs.
While the bikes are equipped
with the standard U-bolt locks, the
patrol officers often rely on their
handcuffs to secure their modes of
transportation. Davis says when he
uses the handcuffs as a means of
security, he does not stray far from
his bike.
The cops are responsible for
patrolling the portion of campus
between Allied Health and the
Reade Street property.
"The benefits I've seen is that
I am able to pa trol where no one else
can Davis said. "I can get out and
see and hear things. It's also good
for meeting people
Davis said he would like to

Bald Eagles make a healthy return
By Patrick Hinson
Staff Writer
A classic American symbol is
making a brave recovery in the
skies above our nation, as the
American bald eagle is on its way
back from the brink of extinction in
the U.S.
The eagle's recovery is a ray
ofbrighthopeinanotherwisebleak
atmosphere of declining ecosys-
tems and disappearing animals in
the U.S, and the National Wildlife
Federation is celebrating theeagle's
fight for recovery and recent surges
in population by reclassifying the
animal while continuing to keep a
close eye on its future progress.
"They nest every year, and
the nest can have one to three ea-
glets Irwin said.
This past fourth of July week-
end, America's largest conserva-
tion group, the National Wildlife
Federation, founded in 1936, re-
classified the American bald eagle
from the "endangered" list to
"threatened" in 45 of the lower 48
states. Threatened, endangered
and animals on the brink of extinc-
tion are listed under the Endan-
gered Species Act by the National
Wildlife Federation.
Before the 1800s it was specu-
lated that at least 250,000 nesting
pairs of bald eagles resided in the
lower 48 states of the United States,
and were so common in North
America thatCongressadopted the
bird as our national symbol. How-
ever, by the turn of the next cen-
tury there was a marked decline in
eagle populations, and by the
middle of this century the eagle
populations reached all-time lows.
In 1964, a survey found that the
eagle population had diminished
drastically, with fewer than 500
nesting pairs in all of the lower 48
states, while still rapidly declining.
Causes of the massive eagle
decimation in this country were
varied, with the eagle being as-
saulted from many fronts.
"Human activities can dis-
turb the nesting process so that
breeding may not occur every year,
as it should said Jim Irwin, the
National Wildlife Federation En-
dangered Species Media Consult-
ant.
By the mid 1900s, toxic levels
of pollution in the air and water in
our country were causing massive
deaths in eagles and in the foods
they eat to survive. Contaminants
in the food chain, most notably
DDT, which softens and destroys
the eagle's eggs, were known to be
largely responsible for ecosystem
damage arid eagle deaths. Human
development encroached on eagle

nesting areas all over the nation,
destroying their homes, whileelec-
trocution from fences and power
lines, poisoning of the eagles
through rodent and fish poison-
ing, and illegal hunting were also
rampant contributing causes of the
eagles loss of survival.
America finally began to take
an interest in saving the eagles by
the early 1980s. Through the ban-
ning of DDT, more severe penal-
ties for illegal hunting, volunteers
working all across the country and
the National Wildlife Federation's
hard work, the eagle has finally
begun to be seen again in the skies
above America.
Bald eagle populations have
increased every year since 1986. At
last count there were nearly 7,500
bald eagles nesting in pairs in the
U.S and many more juvenile
eagles havebeen spotted from coast
to coast than in previous years. The
National Wildlife Federation sup-
ports the reclassificationoftheeagle
everywhere in the United States
except the Southwest, where the
dry climate and human develop-
ment are still pressuring the eagles'
survival.
Eagles are familial animals
and depend on each other for their
survival, especially early in their
lives.
Although eagles may seem
reclusive birds, they usually have
only one mate in their lifetime, and
are fierce protectors of their young.
"Eagles mate for life, but the
male and female usually go their
separate ways during the year
said National Wildlife Federation
senior sdentistSteveTorbit. "They
probably pair-bond for life, but if
one mate dies they try to reestab-
lish mating
Adult plumage is usually the
key to other eagles that they are
sexually mature.
"Eagles are not sexually ma-
ture until they are four or five
years old Torbit said. Reaching
sexual maturity is critical for their
survival and for the survival of
their species.
Wild eagles can be seen
in many areas of the United
States and North Carolina. The
bald eagle is easily distinguish-
able by the white feathers of its
head over the usually dark
brown or black feathers cover-
ing the body. With a little luck,
and the continued participa-
tion and empathy of those who
care about keeping oar na-
tional symbol in the sky, the
proud and majestic bald eagle
will continue to keep the up-
per hand in its hard fight for
survival.

On-campus housing upgraded
By Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
Some students can not wait to
get out of the dorms and into apart-
ments of their own, but thanks to
recent renovations, dorm life may
be a step up from some off-campus
housing.
During the summer, fiber op-
tics and Cablevision have been in-
stalled across campus. Residence
hall residents will now have
Cablevision complete with HBO 1,
2and3.Adcutionally,increased tele-
phone services have been granted
with the new fiber optics system.
The best thing about the whole deal
is that it comes free with room and
board expenses.
The fiber optics lines and the
Cablevision lines were laid at the
same time to a void additional work.
"Thatwasonemajorproject
said Emanuele Amaro, director of
Housing. "All the buildings have
been wired for Cable TV
White Hall will have a dra-
matically differentinterior look this
year, as it has been modified to
accommodate singles. The dorm
willnow feature four halls of men
andfivehallsof women, all insingle
rooms.
Carpet, fresh paint, refrigera-
tors and microwaves have been
added to the rooms. New paint was
added after the older paint contin-
ued to peel away from the walls.
One bed was removed from each
room to allow more space for the
occupant.
The price of the single rooms
in White Hall is $2,385 for the entire
year. A comparable room, with a
roommate, is $1,590 for the year.
Air-Kronditioned rooms, such as
those inCotten, Fleming and Jarvis,
are $1,850 per year for a room with
a roommate, or $2,775 for a single
room.
According to Amaro, more
women wereinterested in the single
rooms in White; therefore, there are
more female floors than male floors.
"We opened it to every re-
turning student Amarosaid. "We
did it by the market
Jones Hall also received some
much-needed attention this year.
New carpet, beds, desks and chairs
have been added.
"Jones Hall has been redone
this summer Amaro said. "The
whole building has been up-
graded
Another parking lot was
closed due to the renovations of
Slay and Umstead, which will not
be available for occupancy until nex t
fall, but Amaro said that construc-
tion is on schedule. Asbestos was
removed from the rooms.
The entire building was gut-
ted out for total reconstruction to
the interior. The interior will be
brand new and will be air-condi-
tioned. New carpet and mov-
able furniture have been added.
To be more accessible to
students, University Housing has
opened two community service
areas in Fletcher, to serve Cen tra 1
and West campus, and one in
Avcock to serve the College Hill
community.
The former Resident Edu-
cation office in Fletcher has
merged with University Hous-
ing. Currently, Resident Educa-
tion is located on the first floor of
Jones, but eventually both Uni-
versity Housing and Resident
Education will move into the
basement of Jones.
Five of the eight resident ha 11s
on campus have been converted to
the "Master-Key" plan. This sys-
tem helps administrators keep track
of keys and provides security for
residents.
"It provides more security for
the buildings Amaro said.
The Department of Housing
received a grant from the federal
government for energy conserva-
tion. The grant was a 5050 grant,
which means the government gave
$250,000 and the university gave
$250,000. Light bulbs were changed
to fluorescent lighting and thermo-
statcontrols were centralized tocon-
trol wings, rather than entire build-
ings. Shower heads were replaced
to add more air and to reduce the
amount of water dispersed.
Amaro said other smaller
projects were completed over the
summer.
White residence
hall, formerly an
all-female dorm,
has been
converted to a
co-ed dorm with
all single rooms.
Students living
in White can now
take advantage
of free
refrigerators
and
microwaves.

lot which has 500 spaces. Shuttle
buses run in these areas from 7:20
a m. to 5:30 p.m departing every 10
minutes.
Also, commuting students can
use the shuttle service.
"If you get to campus at 9:00
a.m you will not have parking
Gertz said.
The former freshmen parking
lot, Minges, is now a commuter
parking lot. The shuttle service op-
erates on the same 10 minute cycle
as the freshmen lots.
Gertz said Lhat students must
park in their respective parking
spaces at all times, Monday through
Friday. However, on the weekends,
from Friday at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday
at 8:00 p.m students with stickers,
including freshmen, can park any-
where on campus.
"This is because many people
golhome or of f campus Gertz said.
Valid parking permits can be
bought at the Parking and Traffic
Services Office on Tenth Street next
to McDonald's. The permits, which
have been on sale since the sum-
mer, cost $70.00, and a limited per-
mit, is available for $30.00.
In addition to parking
changes, students are still getting
use to the new drop policy that was
recently adopted.
"The new policy went into
effect in the fall of 1993 said Dor-
othy Muller, dean and academic
transition program director of Un-
dergraduate Studies.
The policy assigned the num-
ber of drops a student is allowed,
according to his or her year in school.
Freshmen are assigned four drops,
sophomores three drops, juniors
two drops, and seniors one drop.
"Freshmen can use a drop. If
he doesn't use a drop as a freshman,
as a sophomore he has four drops. If
a freshman drops two classes, he
has only two left Muller scid.
Basically, students have only
four chances to drop a class during
their entire undergraduate career.
Muller said the policy was
started because the university
wanted to get students to commit to
classes.
"We had situations where stu-
dents dropped to not get a 'C
Muller said.
Muller also said that some stu-
dents would continually sign up for
classes, blocking other students
from taking high-demand courses
such as speech, only to drop the
course later.
Muller said thatunder the new
policy, the dropadd period has
been extended from two days to the
first full week of class.
"Students can go to one class
meeting, look at the syllabus, and
see if the class is for them Muller
said. "Also, on the sixth day, a
student on a waiting list can add a
class but not dropadd
The policy seems to have had
a positive effect.
"Students earned more hours
than the year before Muller said.
"The number of'D's' and 'F's' didn't
change, and GPA's for classes went
up
As for dorm life, visitation
rules are changing slightly. Students
are allowed visitors of the opposite
sex in their rooms, but only during
specific time periods.
"Curfew now starts at 10:00
a.m. instead of 12:00 p.m said
Janet Johnson, assistant director of
Resident Education.
Johnson said that the curfews
affect all the dorms. During the
week, Monday through Thursday,
visitors are allowed in the rooms
from 10:00 to 1:00 a.m. During the
weekend, visitors are allowed from
10:00a.m. to 2:00a. m. Students must
escort their guests through the
dorms throughout the building.
A few exceptions are in cer-
tain areas that are used by every-
one, such as laundry rooms and
vending machine rooms.
"In those areas the time limits
are set by the dorm hall council
Johnson said. "It is particular to
each building
Johnson said that though the
visitation policy will be enforced,
failure to comply is not considered
a major violation and any punish-
ment will be handled by the Dean of
Students, Ronald Speier.

or graduate, who are interested
in helping protect the campus.
"We're looking for good
moral character said Assistant
Director of Public Safety John
Taylor. "Our students reserves
work patrolling the campus and
at special events, like football
games
The department is also
looking for a director to head the
student reserves and act as a
liason between the department
and the reserves.
"Preferably someone with
good organizational skills Tay-
lor said.
' Applicants need to have at
least a 2.0 grade point average,
but their major is irrelevant.
An expanded staff will al-
low Public Safety to reach more
sydents on a daily basis, Crocker
She hopes to get away from
ing a reactive department by
Shading off problems on cam-
pus before they create danger-
ous situations. One method the
department is using to improve
relations with students is diver-
sity training.
The North Carolina Depart-
ment of Human Relations plans
to hold diversity training ses-
sions in November and Decem-
ber of the fall semester and Janu-
ary of the spring semester. This
is being sponsored in part by Pitt
Community College.
The North Carolina Justice
Academy also offers a diversity
training class for law enforce-
ment, which a member of ECU's
Public Safety will attend during
August.
"Officers will also be at-
tending some EEO training, as
well as some training at Wilson
Tech in diversity issues Crocker
said.
While not all officers will
attend this, someone from each
zone will be represented at the
training session, Crocker said.
Crocker is optimistic about
the upcoming school year, and
feels that Public Safety has, over-
all, a positive relationship with
the campus community.
"I think a lot of times stu-
dents are intimidated by a uni-
form, and the one thing that we
want is to have a relationship
with the students where we are
able to talk with them, and if
they have problems, that they
feel like they can talk to us she
said.
"They can ask questions,
and a lot of times I think they
don't ask questions because
they're afraid of what the answer
might be We want to have a
working relationship
Crocker said many students
take their personal safety for
granted, and neglect certain mea-
suies to protect both themselves
and their property. "Walking
alone at night, walking back from
the bars ? there are a lot of people
moving around in that area. It's
easy to ask for a ride she said.
There are currently 29 blue
light emergency phones located
throughout campus which stu-
dents should use if they need help.
There are also 16 elevator phones.
"There are still spots of dark-
ness, but this campus is really
well-lit, and they are maintained
Crocker said.
She wants students to un-
derstand that the department re-
alizes that students are not all
criminals.
"We're not here to put ev-
ery student who comes to ECU in
jail she said. "We're here to
make sure that this environment
is safe, and when things happen
that people should be put in jail
because of their behavior, then
these are things we have to do
Crocker said one of the most
important things students shou Id
remember is that it is against the
law to have weapons on campus.
"We have enough weapons
just passing through (with non-
students) without our own stu-
dents possessing weapons she
said.
She cited a case in early Au-
gust when a non-student was seen
trying to break into a house on
Fourth and Reade Streets. Stu-
dents who saw the man yelled at
him, and he opened fire on them
with his weapon.
Two Public Safety officers
apprehended him near the Willis
building soon after, and no one
was injured.
Public Safety is not able to
be at every student's beck and
call in some circumstances, how-
ever. Whereas previously the de-
partment would respond to calls
where a car had died and needed
a jump start, students must
now find someone else, al-
though they can come to the
Public Safety department and
check out jumper cables.
Crocker said the liability ex-
pense simply became too great.
She offers a solution to
another student catastrophe,
however. She sympathizes wih
students over the current park-
ing situation ? which she de-
scribed as "terrible"?and sug-
gests students use the Transit
System made available by the
university.
She also reminds stu-
dents that Parking and Traffic
Services are a separate depart-
ment headed by Director Pat
Gertz, and they should bring
all parking tickets, etc to the
proper building.
" We are at 609 East Tenth
St she emphasized. "They are
at 305 East Tenth St

Salamon said that all meal

According to Salamon, Todd
Dining Hall will not be he only
"hot dining spot" on campus this
fall. Other campus dining facili-
ties, such as Mendenhall and the
Galley, are going through some
beneficial changes before fall ses-
sion starts.
Jones Dining Hall is now
closed and the Galley is undergo-
ing a facelift so it can operate more
like the Spot in Mendenhall.
"TheGalley will open up with
a smoother flow of customers as
well as a second cashier station to

next few years, the Galley will

Salamon is very optimistic
about Todd and the other up-

MESSAGE FROM THE CAMPUS POLICE
Werjome! As DirectorChief of the ECU Police Department, I want to take this opportunity to let
each of you know that our department is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure
environment in which to live and learn. A college campus is a unique community with its own
special problems and we want you to know that we are responsive to the needs of our
academic community.
Our office is located at 609 East Tenth Street and our emergency telephone number is 757-
6150 (You may call 816-2246 while at the School of Medicine). You will also find many
emergency (bluelight) telephones located throughout campus which dial directly to our
department. You may use the emergency telephones at any time to call for assistance.
Our staff is made up of thirty-five sworn police officers. We patrol the campus twenty-four hours
a day throughout the year. Officers of the department are charged with the responsibility of
protecting life and property, preventing, detecting and investigating crime on campus and
?providing essential services to the University community,
the pressures and needs of students, faculty, and staff.
SGA
Continued from page 1
The officers are trained to understand
L Our patrol division is made up of uniformed officers who patrol the campus on bicycle, foot, and
. vehicle. The investigative division is made up of highly trained officers who specialize in
. criminal investigation. The crime prevention office provides security programs, resident hall
lectures, and media relations for the department. Our training officer provides in service training
. required by the state as well as specialized training. The department also hires students who
work as student patrol officers. They work during the evening hours and act as "eyes and ears"
. for the department.
While a student at East Carolina University, please do not become a victim of crime. If you live
in a residence hall, lock your doors and windows when you leave. Never leave exterior doors
propped open for any reason. Don't lend your key to anyone. You should make sure that
' valuables are secured and marked with your driver's license number. In your travels, you
' should always be aware of your surroundings. Never walk alone at night. Plan your route in
: advance using well lit streets. Don't take shortcuts if it means walking alone in unlighted or
?untraveled areas. Let your roommate know when and where you are going and when you
? expect to return. Notify our office if you are a victim of a crime or if you witness one.
? -I hope that you will take time to talk with our officers during the semester. Remember that no
I campus is a sanctuary from crime. Prevention is the most effective means of fighting crime.

see the image of Public Safety offi-
cials improved. By getting in touch
with the students, the patrol offic-
ers can educate them on the dan-
gersof alcohol abuse,rape and other
potential dangers often familiar to
college campuses.
"Most people presume that
all we do is parking, but our depart-
ment is working on getting a better
image through community polic-
ing Davis said.
Umphlet agrees with Davis
that bicycling on campus is a great
way to get involved with students
and the university community.
"The students can also iden-
tify with us because they ride bikes,
too Umphlet said.
Davis hopes that eventually
students will realize that Public
Safety officials are on campus to
help students avoid crime and po-
tentially dangerous situations, not
simply to write parking tickets.
"I'd like to try to help with the
perception of our department he
said.
campus to determine potential dan-
ger spots. Eastman said the group
agreed on 16 areas which needed
additional lighting. Areas included
the wooded area by Bloxton House,
between Mendenhall and Joyner
Library and near the Jenkins Axt
Building.
Eastman said projects like the
lighting project are bringing the
students and the faculty together
to build a positive foundation.
"We have now opened the
communication lines between the
SGA Executive Council and the
faculty he said.
The SGA is also working to
bring some excitement to ECU with
a potential concert in the spring.
"SGA and the Student Union
are joining forces to bring a large
concert in either Minges or Ficklen
in the late spring Eastman said.
"We are laying the groundwork
for that right now
Eastman will continue to
work with the athletics department
on the project.
"Athletics are cooperating
with us to the fullest extent he
said.
For students who seem to
enjoy school so much they will not
graduate, there may be some bad
news in the near future. Eastman
said that Senate Bill 27, Section 89
has been passed in the General
Assembly. The bill will place a 25
percent increase on tuition rates
for students with over 140 hours.
Eastman said that students who
are working on double majors are
going to be punished along with
the students who make a career
out of going to college.
The bill will affect 16 univer-
sity system schools across the state.
SGA members from all of the
schools met at a conference for the
Association of Student Govern-
ments (UNC-ASG) todiscuss strat-
egies for adding an amendment to
the bill. Former SGA President
Keith Dyer is the president of the
UNC-ASG. Eastman said the
amendment the group was discuss-
ing adding would benefit students
with a certain GPA. Should a stu-
dent have a predetermined GPA
or higher, the would be exempt for
the increase.
"We went to a UNC-ASG
conference for all 16 universities
he said. "We started to lay the
groundwork on how we are going
to oppose this the bill
The SGA has also been meet-
ing with the Athletics department
to discuss tailgating and student
ticket information for the upcom-
ing football season. All students
will now have to enter in two gates
designated for students only on
the intramural field side of Dowdy-
Ficklen stadium. One of the gates
will have 10 turnstiles, while the
other will have four. The previous
student gate only had two turn-
stiles.
Eastman said the athletics
department is encouraging stu-
dents to tailgate at the bottom of
College Hill. He feels that students
will be separated from the other
fans if they tailgate somewhere
other than the designated tailgat-
ing fields. This year, group seating,
will be allowed. Last year the group
seating privilege was removed as a
result of a fight largely made up of
students.
The SGA, the Student Union,
the Interfraternity Council and the
Residence Hall Association will
sponsor the first "Saber Slash"
on the mall on Friday, Sept. 23. It
will be held in the evening and
will be similar to Barefoot on the
Mall. Three bands will entertain
the group. Eastman said it is a
positive way to bring groups to-
gether.
Eastman looks forward to
naming the remainder of his cabi-
net and to kicking off the fall
semester.
"I am eagerly anticipating
the input from former SGA mem-
bers and from students in the
fall he said.

get too many chances in life to
really make it here, to be
successful. I mean, think about
what it took just for you to get
where you are now, here at East
Carolina. Sure, you should
probably be at Harvard, right?
You're reading the wrong
article.
What did it take you to get
here? You had to make the grades
to get in, didn't you? You had to
come up with the money
somewhere, whether through
financial aid, like myself, or
through your parents, or the
service, or jobs. You had to more
or less decide that this was where
you wanted to go to school, as
opposed to your other options,
right? At least a few things went
into getting you here, even if you
did stumble in at the last minute.
Believe it or not, they don't just
let everyone in, and whether you
just flipped a coin or worked and
sweated it out for years in high
school, you still made the final
call, and that counts for
something. This brings me to my
point: You made decisions and
took advantage of opportunities
to get here, and for your reward
you have now opened the door
to a new world of future
opportunities which you may
have no idea about quite yet.
East Carolina is a good
school ? a good choice ? for a
lot of reasons. Believe me, I
didn't know if I'd ever feel that
way, but I do now, and hopefully
the new freshmen will some day,
too. This is a place where a
student, any student in any
chosen major, can make a
difference. It may seem like a
huge place to the new people
now, but this is a place where
you really can get to know the
faculty, as well as the students,
where you can excel in the
classroom and have your name
and face become known by those
around you as someone special
as easily as you can get wasted
and make a fool of yourself
downtown. The cool thing here
is that it's completely up to you.
You can make a difference, and
not for them either, for yourself.
Or you can just drink and smoke
and play your way through your
four or five years here, and shut
the door behind" you on your
way out. Grab a job at Taco Bell
afterwards.
Don't feel bad if you have
no idea what it is you want from
college or what to major in, much
less from life. You're supposed
to feel that way. You're supposed
to feel confused at this point in
your life. Just don't waste that
confusion. We've been given a
By Patrick Hinson
wonderful opportunity to design
our own futures here, an
opportunity to avoid just
working some cruddy job for the
rest of our lives. Here we can
plan to do what we want to do, to
enjoy doing it, excel doing it.
Don't feel bad if you don't know
what it is yet. That's a perfectly
natural feeling. I didn't know
what I wanted for the longest
time, and I came very close to
quitting because of that, more
than once, as many of you might
too. But I stayed with it. I
explored what was around me. I
kicked around ideas and dreams
and reality until things just
seemed to fall together, which
they will, if you just stay with it,
stay interested, stay hopeful.
There is an answer out there, you
just need to figure out the right
way to ask the question. You may
have to spend a little time on
your own, thinking about what
you want to do here, what you
want to do with your life. You
may not get it right the first or
second or fifth time, but you'll
never really get it wrong if you
just keep asking.
Explore your options here.
Think about what it is you want
to do with your time here, and
for a career later. Pretty soon it
will come to you. Pretty soon
you'll realize that you really do
control your own fate, and that
opportunity hasn't forgotten yet
where you live.
As we are all made aware
of every night on the news, our
world is greatly troubled. Large
portions of our globe are racked
with civil strife, famine, human
rights abuses and general
turmoil. Many of us wish that
we could do something about
these horrific problems. We
wish that we might do
something to alleviate the
suffering in the Third World,
but we feel as thought we
cannot. However, there is a
rather simple solution, which I
humbly submit for your
thoughtful consideration.
The obvious problem is a
lack of stability, brought on by a
lack of focus and leadership in
our post-Cold War world. With
the end of the communist threat,
America has turned increasingly
inward, as the Russians
frantically try to put their own
house in order.
My modest proposal to
solve this problem is a return to
that which worked in the past.
For it is by looking to the past
that we may find answers to our
current troubles. In sum, what I
propose is a return to
imperialism, unilaterally if need
be, but hopefully with the
support of our European allies.
Now, no doubt, many will
object to this idea, believing the
concept is unfair. Perhaps there
is some merit to this charge.
However, we Americans will
have to learn to bear a little extra
burden, unfair as it may be, to
help our brethren in distress. It
is our Christian duty.
Some may believe that our
already troubled economy will
not be able to handle the strain
ing applications! fofNewsSports

of such expensive adventures.
However, surely any such
expenditures will be more than
made up for by the new
business opportunities, which
will present themselves in our
new colonies. Moreover, if, as I
suspect, our European allies
have become too weak and
effete to participate, then
America will have a unique
advantage heading into the next
century.
While the term
imperialism is now used only
pejoratively, I feel that after due
consideration, such a plan
cannot fail to garner
overwhelming popular support.
We all know of the Republicans
enthusiasm for foreign
adventures. On the Democrat
side, the administration is
already considering a watered
down version of this same plan,
as we contemplate an invasion
of Haiti. Such an action is
vociferously supported by the
Congressional Black Caucus.
While the president claims
American troops would be
hastily withdrawn, the very fact
that we are considering
interfering in the internal affairs
of another country proves that
we really still believe that
America should rule the world.
Perhaps our "New Democrat"
president could overcome
objectionsby labeling this "New
Imperialism
This proposal will also
have the happy result of easily
refuting the pitiful arguments
against intervention. No more
will opponents of action be able
to ask, "What is America's vital
interest in Haiti?" (or whatever
By Brian Hall
nation in which we are currently
considering intervention.) Our
vital interest will be that we need
to take over, for the benefit of
not only the citizens of the new;
colony, who have obviously 1
proven themselves incapable of i
self-government, but also for the :
furtherance of the American i
Dream. No longer will the;
plaintive lament of: "When will;
our boys be coming home?" be
effective. For this will be met by '
the stout reply, "They are never ;
coming home
The final benefit of this
plan would be to motivate those
native leaders who are
governing troubled areas. These
men would now have a solid
reason to unite with their'
domestic enemies. Together,
perhaps they could solve their!
nation's problems, making i
American intervention;
unnecessary. Just image;
discussions between various
factions in South Africa, Israel;
or Rwanda if the United States
adopts such a policy. Overnight,
they would find creative ways
to solve their problems, in a
misguided attempt to avoid
annexation.
Surely no one could
oppose such a policy. Our world ;
would be safer and America
more prosperous. Those living
in third world countries would !
have human rights and i
democracy, as well as the free j
market, forced upon them
without the tediousness of;
convincing them of the validity
of these ideas. Surely even those
natives killed by our invasion
forces would willingly give their ;
lives for such an eventuality.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
Critics who deride the effectiveness of
condoms in combating the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) including AIDS are
overlooking the importance of consistent and
correct use.
Minimizing the potential efficacy of condoms
may be a self-fufilling sic prophesy, because
condoms may be used less consistently by those
who do not believe them to be effective.
A recent study cited in the April, 1993, issue
of the American Journal ofPublic Health found that
only 20 percent of sexually active couples used
condoms, but even among these couples, condom
use was inconsistent: Only one in five who
reported condom use said they were used at last
intercourse.
Consistent and correct use promise sic to
greatly improve the effectiveness of condoms in
preventing the spread of STDs. Such use has
already been shown to greatly improve pregnancy
prevention rates. Although typical pregnancy
rates for couples who use condoms are as high as ?
10 to 20 percent, rates are estimated to be as low '
as two percent for couples who use condoms
correctly and consistently.
A March 1989 Consumer Reports article "Can
You Rely on Condoms?" reports examination of
stretched latex condoms by an electron microscope
showed "no pores" and an effective intact barrier
which "won't even let water ? one of the tiniest
of molecules ? filter through j.

To the Editor:
The consequences of civil war in Rwanda are
very tragic. Many here in America probably think
that the solution to the problem is a good ol'
democratic government. We rationalize that since it
worked for us and "solved" all our problems then it
should work for them too.
Thosecf you who worship thedemocratic system
should consider this form of government is only
"good" as long as the people in the country are
"good
For example, the USA prospered up until about
the early decades of this century. But since about the
1960's, we have started running up huge debts as our
morals have descended into the gutter.
We now accept adultery and scandal at the
highest levels. Wethinkhomosexuality and feminism
is okay. Millions of unborn children have been
butchered for the convenience of not having to
support them. It would seem mat the only real evil
people left in this country are racists and those who
actually take the Bible literally. ; - J
Now, the only government mat will work and;
last forever is the soon coming Kingdom of God. It is J
a world-ruling Government that is not a humanly;
flawed government of the people, by the people, for ?
the people, but rather a government of God, by God,?
for man to create a Utopian environment that will be I
conducive to fulfilling man's ultimate potential of"
becoming a member of the God Family ? the;
Kingdom of God.
This Kingdom, this Government to end all other "
governments will never be at the mercy of sin, but ef
its increase there shall be no end and it will last
forever and ever.
WAKE UP, AMERICA! Worship God, and not
some form of government that will eventually go the
way of ancient Romebecause of the sins of its citizens!
Again, I say, WAKE UP! RETURN TO GOD
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

f f of TEC committed to serving students I
Remember the scene in Citizen Kane when
M Charles Foster Kane takes over the New York
. Inquirer? His first act is to issue a declaration
ol purpose for his front page, which he has
reset eight different times before going to
print. He writes of speaking for the man
without a voice ? the average schmoe ? and
' - sets out to bust the trusts and schemes of big
-business. Charles Kane had a definite agenda
? fet his new newspaper.
When I took the office of general manager,
.??jl had, and still have, one concern: how to
.?? make sure you read The East Carolinian. We
n- d?r?nt wrtat y?u want to read and more of you
?rvyill pick up a copy on Tuesdays and
'Thursdays. You write to us to tell us what you
think and we respond. With increased
' "readership come more patrons willing to
advertise to reach that audience.
The advertising department's happy, the
'?' Editorial department's happy, you're happy,
vi the patrons are happy. Hey, we'll all be
t wearing big happy hats.
And this is where, hopefully, all that starts.
ii Since the largest percentage Qf readers are
,? jBtudents, and since the staff of TEC is made
. ,yp entirely of students, the interests of those
i who spend their money and efforts at ECU are
"paramount. And the diverse tastes of the
"student body are reflected in our staff, as well.
What interests you interests us. That's how
the majority of what's printed is selected.
Would we, the staff, want to read about it?
' And what isn't in TEC that we do want to
read?
That in mind, the editorial staff, a brand
spanking new set of desk editors, has
established a list of "what's in, what's out" for
each section of the paper. Our news
department has been keeping in closer contact
with SGA and Public Safety to ensure better
coverage of what's being proposed and
instituted concerning you or your money.
The Lifestyle department is expanding an
already diverse scope to even better cover the
after-hours and leisure options available to
the ECU community, and the Sports desk
looks to bring solid reporting for the teams
that get national coverage and those that tend
to go unnoticed (track, swimming, rugby, etc.).
The Opinion page(s) still will offer the best
of student perspectives, and plans are in the
works for the return of Campus Forum and
Spectrum, wherein students and faculty will
be offered space for more detailed arguments
than the 250-word limit on Letters to the Editor
will allow. We're bringing back the popular
"Clearly Labeled Satire Page" when space
permits. Pirate Comics (possibly the best
college comics page on the East Coast) will
continue to bring you the best original student
work Special issues are planned for events
and concerns that students and faculty may
wish to be made more aware about.
So welcome or welcome back to East
Carolina University and The East Carolinian.
Have a good year and drop us a line to let us
know how we're doing.
Assault weapon ban restricts personal freedom
I favor measures to stem what
r.seema like a growing crime
problem in our nation; however,
I have a big problem with
5 ? President Clinton and his cohorts
? t "vwflo believe that the situation can
??be ameliorated by passing more
.?tand more laws encroaching on
. our inalienable right to keep and
bear arms.
My definition of gun control
is hitting what you are aiming at.
This is what 13-year-old Jarrod
Miner did when an intruder
-forcibly entered his home. While
Jarrod's parents were out running
errands, the boy was keeping an
eye on his three younger brothers.
Instead of becoming a victim, the
boy fought back. Jarrod
?? incapacitated the trespasser by
shootinghimwithhisfather's357
, j Magnum ? just as he had been
?3rfa"ught. A more realistic
'eonsequence of what proposed
' ?"gun control" will do can be
- ?exemplified in the following
' '? story: Fearing for her life from
t her estranged spouse, Bonnie
, Etmasri of Wisconsin attempted
to buy a firearm for protection,
br?t a 48-hour waiting period
? Sf precluded her from making the
purchase. The next day, she and
t her two children were murdered
by her husband. So much for the
j j-gnn restrictions. Those who wish
lu repeal the Second Amendment
' are hesitant to admit that guns
are very effective defensive
weapons. As a matter of fact,
approximately 7,000 times each
year, guns are successfully
employed for self-protection.
cr?a Yearly figures show that gun-
bearing Americans kill 2,000-
' 3000 lawbreakers, while the
police terminate three times less
(undoubtedly choosing to house
id feed criminals for a few
"f
years). Eighty-three percent of
cases where the victim has a
handgun end with the culprit
fleeing or giving up. Now that is
effective crime control.
People who trust the police
for personal safety are confused.
Let's face it, we cannot rely on the
police for constant, individual
protection. A shining example of
this is the Korean-American shop
owners who with assault rifles
successfully defended their stores
from riotous crowds during the
L.A. uprising. When things got
tight, the police ran, and the
people were left to their own
devices. The police in our country
are not omnipotent forces
(thankfully). This is confirmed in
a 1984 survey where 94 per cent
of respondents asserted that the
police were too slow in their
responses. Consider this:
criminals take a victim's weapon
less the 1 per cent of the time,
while police are shot with their
own guns 10 per cent of the time.
I do believe that the police are a
needed asset in our society, but
they do not replace self-reliance
in crime fighting.
In the name of crime control,
a bill was proposed recently that
banned certain assault weapons.
Surely these weapons must
account for a large amount of
violent crime. They do not. In
1992, more people were beaten to
death (1,114) than were killed by
rifles of any sort (698). A recent
FBI report stated that rifles
accounted for only 4 per cent of
all homicides, and from 1980-
1990, not one police officer was
killed with an Uzi or Ak-47. In
New York, not a single police
officer had been killed by an
assault rifle in ten years, but the
state prohibited those firearms in
By Stephen Hill
1992. When New Jersey banned
assault weapons in 1990, the
Trenton deputy police chief
testified mat these weapons were
used in 026 of 1 per cent of
crimes in N.J. This means my
officers are more likely to confront
an escaped tiger from the local
zoo than to confront an assault
rifle " This goes to show that
perceived fact is sometimes
greater that actual fact. If these
weapons account for a tiny
portion of the crime problem, why
were they banned?
We must understand that if
we enact legislation banning
firearms, only law abiding citizens
will obey those rules. Who
honestly believes that a hardened
criminal will not be able to find a
gun to commit his or her crime?
Or what is going to prevent
criminals from making crude, but
effective, firearms with materials
mat can be easily obained at the
nearest hardware store? It is not a
difficult process. As a matter of
fact, one-fifth of all firearms
confiscated by police in
Washington, D.Carehomemade.
So, if a criminal confronts you with
his homemade shotgun, who will
be the loser? Americans cannot
relyonthegovemmentfor'round-
the-clock safety. We could
arrange for perpetual protection
by vastly increasing our police
forces and by outlawing private
firearm ownership, thus creating
a police state (a la China, Nazi
Germany, and the Soviet Union).
Now this may sound strange to
some of you, but I believe in the
Bill of Rights. The proposal to
ban assault weapons is ridiculous.
It will not relieve the crime
dilemma in the least, but the ban
will infringe on our right to keep
and bear arms.

INSPIRING GUILT IN A PARENT
College gives chance for personal reflection
By Patrick Hinson
When we're growing up,
we're taughtwhatseemlikesimple
lessons about what's right and
wrong, what to do and what not to
do in life. We accept these lessons,
often from our family, at face value,
and even though we may not be
realizing it at the time, we file them
away in our memories for later use,
for reference. Soon, after many
years, these lessons have become
the very core of our social being.
They are what we often have in
place of true experience to use for
reference and decision making, for
judgment, and we tend to like
making quick judgments, and to
agree with the mass opinion. The
lines in our early lives are clearly
drawn for us, and as we get older
we often have no choice but to
follow these same lines into the
real world, and into the experiences
that eventually must change us.
Often, when we come to
college, we have already
determined our standards for
social behavior. Unfortunately,
high schools don't teach us much
about racism, sexism, or about
having an open mind about the
people we will encounter in our
lives. In high school, we hang
with the cliques of people who
are just like us, or who we'd like
to be like. We most often have
nothing to do with those people
who are the ieast bit different
from us, whether by race or
handicap or sexual preference.
So we come to college with what
we feel is a good idea of what is
right and what isn't, who's cool
and who's not. The best part
about all this is that now,
suddenly, we are forced lo deal
with what we've been avoiaig
all this time, and what many of
our parents hoped to keep from
us the real story. Finally we're
forced to start thinking for
ourselves, to start making
judgments through experience
and through intelligent
observation. We're forced to use
our own heads for a change, and
it isn't always easy.
First, we should all realize,
by looking at both history and the
present, at what's going on
around us here on this campus
and in places all around the world,
that ignorance breedshatred. We
don't like what we don't
understand, and the natural
reaction is to fight that feeling, or
to ignore it. We don't really
understand why black and white
people often don't get along and
so we just jump on either side. We
don't understand why people
have different sexual preferences
than our own and so we just see
them as wrong. We don't
understand the person in the
wheelchair, or the one using sign
language, or the one tapping
down the sidewalk with a cane
and so we avoid them. That's the
easy way out.
Listen, it often takes a long
time to unlearn some of the beliefs
our parents, or our history, or the
culture we were raised in has
taught us, but we need to think
for ourselves, to decide for
ourselves. In places all around
the world people are massacring
their neighbors simply because
they are different from them,
because they're black or white,
because they're from one tribe
or another, because they're of a
different religion. It's ridiculous
that these things become
grounds for murder, for
genocide, to some people, and
yet they have, and they still do.
Obviously, we must be better
than that, right? No. It's not that
easy. We must make ourselves
better than that. We must leam.
We must see with our own eyes,
and judge for ourselves what
we feel is right or wrong.
If you hate some group of
people, the chances are you have
a friend who is a member of that
group, even though you may not
know it. Will you face that person
and tell them how you feel about
their people? Can you do that? If
everyone feels one way about
something, should you believe
them just because they do? Are
you that much of a coward?
Think for yourself. See for
yourself. It's one thing to look at
the people you would oppress
from a distance, buts it's another
to be able to look yourself in the
face in the mirror and know what
you feel is right.
Oliver North not solution for political woes
One of the worst things about
subscribing to any magazine is
the fact that your name
immediately gets put on a million
mailing lists. And if it happens to
be a political journal, then you can
count on getting political junk
mail, without a doubt, the worst
kind. Since I have a subscription
to National Review, the leading
conservative political journal, my
name is now on the mailing list of
every conservative organization.
Whenever some conservative
organization needs some cash,
they come to me, hat irt hand. The
worst ones are the letters that I
receive from William F. Buckley
himself, publisher of National
Review, asking me to subscribe to
his magazine.
So, I was not really surprised
when I received a letter recently
from Oliver North begging for
money for his Senate campaign in
Virginia. I hope for his sake thathe
is not holding his breath waiting.
It will be a cold day in Greenville
before this rascal gets any money
from me.
I have never been able to figure
out what it is that makes most of
us conservatives like this guy so
much. Sure, he is a military
veteran, which is an admirable
thing. Like most Americans at the
time, I thought it was nice to see
someone tell those fat, pompous
members of Congress off. His
political views are the usual
conservative boilerplate. Other
than that, what does he have?
It is precisely because of his
relationship with Congress that I
dislike him so. Unfortunately,
despite the contempt which most
individual members of Congress
deserve, Congress as a body
deserves our respect, which
includes obeying the laws which
it passes.
Surely Col. North, asa military
man, should have realized the
importance of a chain-of-
command. It is not up to a
lieutenant colonel in the Marines
to make foreign policy decisions
for the United States. Moreover, if
your commander, even if he is the
President of the United States,
gives you an illegal order, then
your obligation is not to obey it,
but to report it.
Yet Col. North freely admits
that he tried to mislead Congress
when asked about attempts to
circumvent the Boland
Amendment. Whatever one feels
about that particular law, the
whole point of living in a
representative democracy is that
the legislature gets to make the
laws. If one really believes that a
particular law is unconstitutional,
as Col. North claims, then there
are legal avenues to challenge it.
Oliver North is a perfect
example of what conservatives al 1
claim to hate so much about our
legal system: a man who was saved
from conviction by a legal
technicality. We must be consistent
in our beliefs on this point. We
must admit that legally Col. North
is an innocent man. However, we
know in our hearts and minds
from his own words that he is
guilty of both intentionally
By Brian Hall
attempting to mislead the people's
duly elected representatives and
willfully breaking the law. Lying
to Congress is not an acceptable
solution to foreign policy
problems. It is difficult not to
admire his chutzpah, if nothing
else. On the cover of the fund
raising letter which he sent out, he
has a photo of himself in uniform,
lying to Congress. As my brother ?v'
would so indelicately say, you
have to wonder how this guy can
walk.
Now, Col. North is trying to
portray himself as a true patriot
and the solution to our political
problems. By attempting to wrap
himself in the flag, he just might
succeed in getting himself elected
to the Senate. Not that this would
mean the end of our republic.
While the election of Norm to the
Senatewould mean that the voters
of Virginia would be sending a
horse's ass to the Senate, looking
at his Democrat opponent,
incumbent Charles Robb,
whomever they choose the
number of horse's asses in the
Senate will not increase.
If conservatives truly dislike
our president because of his
numerous character flaws, then
they must apply the same
reasoning to North. Oliver Norm
is the perfect example of the old
maxim that "patriotism is the last

Chancellor Eakin acknowledges illicit squirrel payments
Staff Reports
Chancellor Eakin faces severe
penalties following his recent
confession to ECU'S Board of
Trustees thathedid, in fact, divert
funds to campus contra squirrels,
specifically to the radical, terrorist,
left-wing group known as The
Purple Thursdays.
Under tnjense interrogation,
Eakin broke down and admitted
to the parrel of trustees that,
following, the razing of his
residence, his wife forced him to
establish ties with the radical
squirrel organization.
"We ? I mean, she made me
start talking to them. She said since
we had to get rid of the house to
build that parking deck, we better
be nice to fee squirrels, since
everybody,knows they have so
much power here at ECU
Eakin previously denied all
charges of involvement with the
squirrels.
"I am not a crook he insisted
in earlier interrogation
proceedings.
Eakin's confession came after
one board member said pointedly,
"I want to know how much the
chancellor knew, and when he
knew it
"I regret all my squirrely
involvements Eakin sobbed
during his confession.
"Those squirrels seemed so
cute and fluffy at first. I knew they
were no good, but they had such
big plans for me. I was going to be
their Chief Human
Representative. You know ? all
theacoms meand the missuscould
want, and that type of thing
Me Stuff-a-lot, the
spokessquirrel for The Purple
Thursdays, issued a statement
from the garbage can outside of
Joyner Library.
"We reject Chancellor Eakin
as our human representative, and
all that he stands for. We've always
thought that his cheeks just
weren't chubby enough to really
be a part of our group. Besides,he
has a dog at home mat won't quit
chasing us around Stuff-a-lot
said.
The Board of Trustees plans
to meet on August 24, in front of
The Student Stores. They will
randomly poll students as to the
best punishment for Eakin.
"I think he should have to
scrounge around this campus
eating leftover pizza crusts just
like the rest of us, for a change
said Me-Run-Up-Tree-and-Get-
Height-Sickness-Quite-Often, a
member of the Purple Thursdays.
The terrorist squirrel
organization reportedly has
plotted for years to take over the
campus. They can frequently be
seen scrambling up trees and
scampering in a schizophrenic
fashion away from passers-by.
During the summer of 1993,
two math professors were taken
hostage by the group in an effort
to turn the Austin buiding into
their headquarters. This effort
was fruitless (or acornless), when
students refused to post the
demanded ransom.
"Actually, we'd really like
to see that building used for
better purposes said Student
Government Association
President Ian Eastman. "I mean,
we all hate math, and all those
professors wanna do over there
is flunk us, so, yeah, let them
have the building. Heck, let them
have all those professors, too.
Yeah, and this old math book
that I couldn't sell back, too! Give
'em that
The radical squirrels have
continued to terrorize the
campus community over the
years. A recent bike patrol set up
by ECU's Public Safety resulted
in several attacked ankles and
missing bike helmets. It appears
that the bike helmets maintain
the ideal temperature in which
to store acorns.
The Purple Thursdays'latest
endeavor, receiving illegal funds
from Chancellor Eakin, is
probably only the beginning of
new ventures in their plight to
take over the campus.
A sorrowful wail of "They
just seemed so cute could be
heard from the interrogation
room last week. Board members
deny that Eakin completely
broke down, but witnesses say
he went through three boxes of
Kleenex.
If you have any information
leading to the arrests of squirrels
known to have associated with
Eakin and his cohorts, please call
Squirrel Stoppers at 555-0000.
Remember, they want just your
information and not your name.

the National Spelling Bee earlier this year.
New policy on refugees Congressional leaders resolve all problems
Staff Reports
Faced with an immigration
emergency from Cuba and an
ongoing crisis in Haiti, the Clinton
adminstistration today announced
a new, comprehensive Carribean
policy. ,
The Coast Guard will continue
to pick up both. Cuban and Haitian
refugees. However, instead of
either interning the refugees, or
returning th.em to their respective
countries, Cubans will now be
taken to Haiti, and Haitians will
be taken to Cuba.
Mortimer J. Buckley, a State
Department spokesperson,
justified the change as "a new,
progressivestep in refugee policy.
TheseCubansjustwanttogetaway
from the oppressive regime of
Fidel Castro What better place to
do that than under the oppressive
government, in Haiti? One thing
And Haitians no longer need fear
that their:political enemies will be
after them. n Cuba they will be
completely safe from such
people ,
According to another source,
the Clinton administration has
high hopes for this policy. If
successful, it may use a similar
idea in other trouble spots, perhaps
sending Rwandians to Iraq in
exchange for Kurds.
The new policy has been
enthusiastically received by all
parties so far. Republicans, who
were threatening to take the lead
in immigration policy, have
wholeheartedly endorsed this
new plan.
"It is about time that our
president did something,
anything, decisive said Haley
Barbour, chairperson of the
Republican National Committee
(RNC). "These immigrants were
threatening to take over our
beautiful country. We would all
be a lot better off if all these
foreigners would just go home
Senate Minority Leader Bob
Dole (R-Kan.) also expressed
cautious support for the plan. "I
hope that this is not just another
case of this president trying to
win a few cheap votes for the
upcoming election. If it is, we
republicans will just have to
obstruct this, too. The last thing
that we would want is for the
voters to get the idea that this
administration is capable of
accomplishing anything
Former independent
presidential candidate Ross
Perot also supports this new
policy. "See now, this is just sad.
It just amazes me that it took this
human catastrophe to finally get
this administration moving on
this. Besides, we all know that
these Cubans were all members
of hit squads sent here by Fidel
Castro to kill me and my world-
class family. It's time toclean out
the barn, get under the hood and
get this country going again
No tranlation for Perot's remarks
was available.
Staff Reports
In a turn of events described
by insiders and pundits alike as
"stunning federally-mediated
talks between baseball owners
and players have resulted in an
agreement and an end to weeks
of a strike. What makes the
agreenent so "startling as
player union leader Don Fehr
called it, is that it somehow
melded with committee
compromise talks involving
proponents and opponents of
both the Clinton health care and
crime bills. The result is a massive
piece of legislation thatcoversall
three points of debate.
"What we have here is a
historic mandate from those
involved in the talks President
Clinton said. "It proves not only
that Congress is willing to give
the people of this great country
guaranteed health care and safety
on the streets, but also seven
months of baseball
The new bill, called the
CHuBBie Plan (an acronym for
crime, health and baseball and a
jab at the president's recent
weight gain) by White House
aides, ends months of rhetoric
and partisan squabbling both on
Capitol Hill and in ballparks
across America.
"I was trying to convince the
democrats how their crime bill
was hogwash, " minority whip
Newt Gingrich said. "Next thing
I know, we're voting on a salary
cap. It's disgraceful! If anyone's
salaries should be raised, it's those
of Congress
The new law incorporates
heavily-debated measures as a
way to enforce the other areas
covered by the bill. Subsidized
health care, for example, would
be covered by the pay not
collected by ball players as they
were on strike. The 10-day strike
would allow the government to
collect approximately $4 million
from the owners. Also, prison
chain gangs would be responsible
for guaranteeing the owners pay
up.
"With the chain gangs out of
the jails, more room will be
available for the larger prison
influx Department of Justice
Chief Janet Reno said. "This keeps
the construction of new jails from
being a necessity and money will
be saved.
"We're depending on the
owners to not be punctual on their
payments. Hopefully, the sight of
30orange-dad felons will facilitate
their cooperation. But if they do
pay up, the gangs will be used in
place of animals in medical
research. If the mortality rate for
humans is the same for test
animals, trust me: There will be
more room in prisons
The CHuBBie bill also makes
it illegal for players to fake
injuries in order to preserve their
batting percentages. Doing so
would incur fines reflective of
their yearly salaries. For some
marquee players, they could
cover plans for entire states with
low-populations The money
would then go to either help
pay for crime or health care
concerns.
In a move interim
commissioner Bud Selig calls
"cynical and pessimistic players
will have to take jobs in either law
enforcement or the health care
profession in he event of another
strike. A possible scenario is
popular players such as Ken
Griffey Jr. and Tony Gwynn
becoming law officers on regular
beats to promote a good image of
authority to young adults, who
make the highest demographic
percentage of both criminals and
baseball fans.
Also, pitchers with good
records of saves will be required
to work in emergency rooms.
Oakland reliever Dennis
Eckersley has already signed on
to work at Johns Hopkins in the
off-season.
In a move that drew some
criticism, both Dwight Gooden
and Steve Howe, who have
suffered through highly-
publicized struggles with
controlled substances, have
already repeatedly asked to work
in pharmaceuticals if their
services are needed.
But many players were
critical at the idea of an enforced
career switch in the event of
another strike.
"What, they expectme to work
for a living?" asked new Giants
acquisition Darryl Strawberry.
'And how much do cops and
nurses earn a year? Screw that.
Don't be surprised if Idon'tshow
up for training for those jobs
either The last comment alluded
to Strawberry's reputation for
skipping practice in the
preseason.
Whether money or time taken
from the players would go to
health or crime plans will be
decided in a seven-game baseball
series played by members of
Congress made up of the
dominant party in control of the
Senate.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm a
republican Senator Bob Dole
said. "With this bum right hand,
I'd have to sit out When
reminded of the success of one-
handed pitcher Jim Abbott of the
New York Yankees, Dole
responded: "What's your point?"
Senate majority leader
George Mitchell had yet to
recover from the success of his
version of Clinton's health care
bill being successfully passed
virtually unscathed.
"Man, Mitchell said.
"Who'd've thunk? All I got to say
is if it wasn't for the outside
pressure to get basball up again,
we might still be arguing over
insurance plans for
months. Thank God the American
people have their priorities in

private and three federal coroners
last week in Las Vegas, where it's
said the singer has been hiding out
since his falsified death in the early
1970's. Readers of national tabloid
magazines -have finally been
vinidicated in their claims over the
years of ha ving seen the King, from
McDonald's in small Montana
towns to the Wal Marts in Reno
Nevada to the fish stores off
Nantucket Island.
Found next to the King was a
National Enquirer newspaper with
a front-page story of hisdaughter's
wedding to pop singer Michael
Jackson. The paper seemed to have
been crumpled and squeezed very
tightly before Presley keeled over.
Official cause of death was ruled a
coronary, possibly brought on by
the news of the wedding. "Well,
the king is finally dead this time
and I don't blame him said
Martha Jane Knowitall. "I wouldn't
want to hang around and watch
my daughter marry that idiot
either. I mean, is he a boy or is he a
girl There was no comment on
the death from either Presley's
daughter or Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was just stated as saying, "All mis
hype is ridiculous. I love Lisa Marie,
she's just like a sister, and I just
want to get my hands on those
sweet little kids others, and, uh, be
a good father teeheehee! She can
have all the money she wants. I got
plenty. Oh-heee
Noted by the coroners was
the look of sheer horror and disgust
on the death face of Presley, his
hand clutching his heart and his
teeth tightly clenched. Presley had
successfully avoided being spotted
by the media by gaining well over
three hundred pounds, and it took
a hydraulic forklift to move the
body to the county morgue. Said
Las Vegas coroner Dr. Bob Slop,
"He's dead for sure now, and I
don't really blame 'em. 1 wouldn't
want to be around to see this mess
either
Staff Reports
A new course will be of-
fered this fall to all incoming
freshmen at NC State: Flatu-
lence 101, or the Art of the Fart.
The new course will be offered
as part of the orientation to the
NCSU program, to help all in-
coming freshmen feel more
comfortable as they enter the
college atmosphere.
"It's such a huge part of
everyday life, much less his-
tory said Dr. Bill Pantsburner,
chairman of the orientation
committee. "After all, unbe-
knownst to most students, some
of the most significant people
in history have been real
fartblossoms. Napoleon was a
notorious gas-passer. He could
fart at will, with an empty stom-
ach and on the march, and he
commanded the same disci-
pline from his troops. Attilla
the Hun could empty an entire
room with one deadly blow.
Julius Ceasar's last word was
actually, safety and then he
farted, as if to spite his murder-
ers. And Joan of Arc, she took
several of her executioners with
her at the last minute of her life,
when she farted and fanned her
own flames across the town
square
Besides studying the his-
torical significance of flatu-
lence, students will study the
seven major American farts: the
fizz, fuzz, fizzy-fuzz, the poot,
tally-poot, tear-ass, and the rat-
tler. Professor Joan Brown
Skidmarke will also teach the
science of flatuiant fragrance,
as well as the nutritional as-
pects of developing flatuiant
behavior. Such aspects as audi-
ology, tone, timing, and proper
release will be discussed, and
students wiil be encouraged to
develop patterns of flatulence
to take with them into the real
world.
"Let's face it says Dr.
Dave Cheekflapper, "what re-
ally gets you in with the top
people in a company these days
is how well you can crank one
off at the right moment. Re-
sumes and work experience
count for something, sure, but
what they really like is some-
one who isn't afraid to let one
go"
An honors flatu lence class
will even go as far as teaching
flatulence ignition, or the light-
ing of farts, but students are
told at the beginning of this
course that the university is not
to be held liable for any per-
sonal injury or fire-damage to
clothing. Both the social and
psychological aspects of flatu-
lence will be discussed as well
in these courses, such as covert
flatulence, flatulence while
maintaining an intimate rela-
tionship, and the psychological
release of proper flatulence.
The new freshmen course
will be an elective and will be
offered as a choice of either Flat
1010 or Algebra 1065, and is
said to be backed up into 1996
already.

.
Staff Reports
Cartoon aficionados and
legal experts are battling over
the fate of one of
entertainment's most
recognizable icons. On Friday,
Aug. 13, cartoon legend Pepe
Le Pew was charged with
stalking and assault and
slapped with a sexual
harassment lawsuit by what he
calls a "sad and lonely
creature
The creature in question is
Tabitha "Tabby" Cat, of Des
Moines, Iowa. Cat claims that
while on a vacation in Paris in
July, Pew repeatedly followed
V?er and amorously manhandled
Eat against her constant
protests.
"It was a nightmare, " Cat
said in a phone interview.
"Everything was fine until the
third week I was in France.
That's when that masher started
hitting on me
According to Cat, Pew
began leering and harassing her
after she took some pictures of
the renovation of the Sacr6
Coeur.
"It's the weirdest thing
Cat said. "It was one of those
days. First, I lose my i.d. Then I
nearly get hit with a can of paint
that fell of the scaffolding when
I was taking pictures. Next
thing I know, there's laughing
boy all randy and rarin' to go
Pew, infamous for his
romantic escapades both in his
native France and on the
Warner Brothers' studio lot in
California, makes no excuse for
what he calls "uncontrollable
animal lust" for Cat.
"I saw her outside Paris, "
Pew said. "Her eyes, her fur, her
je ne sais quoi. I was spellbound,
a slave to her considerable wiles.
This is love, no?
"What can I do? I am ze lover
of beautiful women. Can I be
expected to change my stripes?"
Pew commented that while
this is hardly the first time he
has been denied in his attempts
at "making beautiful moosic
togezzer this is the first legal
action taken against him.
"I've been slapped many
times but never before with a
lawsuit. Those staples, they
sting
The case is expected to go
to court next spring and Pew
has been ordered to take cold
showers by Circuit Court Judge
Elmer J. Fudd.

Pew expresses
his dismay as he
is accused of
s e x u a 1
harassment,
assault and

-??! Trying to capitalize on a rare
foreign policy victory, the
! Clinton State Department today
"???'announced that it will expand a
program begun with North
Korea earlier this month. In an
agreement which help lessen
tensions between the two
countries, the U.S. agreed to pay
$5 billion to North Korea, in
exchange for promises that at
some point North Korea will
allow inspections of their nuclear
facilities.
Now, the ad ministration has
announced mat it is expanding
this idea toother nations. Among
the first nations to recieve aid
from the program, in exchange
for promising not to develop
nuclear weapons, are Monaco,
Luxembourg and Samoa.
According to a State Department
official, this policy will
immediately make the world a
much safer place by helping to
eliminate these dangerous
threats to peace.
In a related development, the
Clinton administration
announced that it is beginning a
similar program to pay street
gangs for promising not
developing nuclear weapons.
The new program has already
been taken advantage of by two
of Los Angeles' most notorious
,the Crips and the Bloods.

Dear Miss Manners,
I worry about you. Though
your quest to educate is
noble, I fear you've done all
you can do here. You are by
no means a failure. Yet,
sometimes I fear our country
is too far from reform for the
likes of you. You're a lady
with a queenly bearing. You
have fragile sensibilities, as
do I. You are but one of a
handful of Americans
remaining who still care
about manners. As a kindred
spirit Miss Manners, I
suggest you run away! Flee.
Go as far away as possible
and never look back. Go some
place where people
everywhere will be nice,
respectful and well-
intentioned. Your work here
is done.
I wish you a fond adieu.
? A faithful reader in
Greenville, N.C.
P.S. Where have all the
manners gone?
Gentle reader,
The day has come when
Miss Manners embraces a
reader's advice and lets it guide
her. She abandons all reasonable
second thoughts. She cannot see
straight for the tears that cloud
her vision. She is throwing in
the hankie and all the chamomile
teas in Charleston cannot
comfort her. Where have all the
manners gone? Where good
manners go when they die.
Miss Manners makes no
claim that her efforts have gone
unrecognized ? that would be
unfair. Miss Manners does not
claim to embody perfection.
That would be rude?and, most
likely, untrue.
It is not a bad day that can
taint Miss Manners' eternally
optimistic spirit. It is a
horrifying epiphany that may
crash in at any moment of one's
life. Miss Manners began her day
with a troll into her favorite
used-book shop, only to find the
spines of her so-called best seller
piling up next to the tattered
remains of a dozen copies of I'm
OK, You 're OK. She was instantly
mowed down by readers who,
in their exuberance, endeavored
to "find themselves" amid the
self-help; customers who
remained unaware of life
existing outside their own
bodies. She came to the
conclusion that there was indeed
a direct connection between the
waxing of the "self-esteem
"the self-validation" manuals
and the waning of etiquette
books.
Miss Manners, still with a
spark of ingenuous hope, is
hard-pressed to assume a
human being cannot possibly
have the energy to be
considerate to both herself and
another person simultaneously.
Miss Manners sits on the beach
in her high-necked gown and
grandmother's own cameo,
pondering new aspirations ?
to become shark food or to get
philosophical. She watches the
sand run through her fingers like
so many unlearned lessons and
wonders: Do people everywhere
believe that to like oneself is to
hate everyone else? That being
considerate is weak and will
force one a few notches below
plankton on the food chain?That
following a few simple etiquette
rules will destroy the
abandonment by which one
plans to live one's life?
Somewhere in the world of
self-help literature, the meaning
is lost in the translation of a
desperate reader. "I deserve the
best" need not translate, "If I
don't get the best, I don't owe a
'thank you
"I am a good and worthy
person; I shouldn't apologize for
my beliefs usually becomes a
warped version of I need not
excuse myself for any sort of
behavior, no matter how boorish
it may be to another
The suggestion to list one's
positive features is a suggestion
to do so in private. It cannot
mean, "The world needs to
know immediately how lucky it
is to have me gracing it, as I do,
with my brilliance
Miss Manners recalls the
days of the proffered arm, of
finger bowls at dinner . . . the
days of letter-writing, of busy-
signals . . . when weeping was
an activity reserved for one's
self, one's hankie and one's cat,
and not a nationally televised
affair and weeps.
She still prefers the Golden
Silence to Muzak. And in the
Golden Silence, when, after the
neighbors have been asked
nicely to quiet down, and Miss
Manners thinks she can make
out the strains to Vivaldi's
"Spring" concerto from her
phonograph she hears another
sound. Is it the thump of Emily
Post turning over in her grave?
No. It is the sound of Miss
Manners' heart ? quietly,
? j

r ? ??
?

unobtrusively, as politely as 7 '?
? -
f
.v:
possible ? breaking
Miss Manners has enjoyed
responding to your concerns.
Concerns ranging from, "Is it
OK to use indigo ink to respond
to thank-you notes?" to "What
is the least-abrasive way to
confront a roommate whom
you've witnessed lacing your
coffee with arsenic. I can't stand
scenes, what do you suggest?"
She cannot stay, however.
She will pack her dusty-rose
mules, a quill pen, and her
grandmother's own cameo, and
board the plane to Japan. She'll
hold close to her bosom a framed
picture of her heroine, Eleanor
Roosevelt.
She will hope that the
gentleman seated next to her on
the plane will not read over her;
shoulder, and will refrain front -?
asking too many questions.

Surgeon General sparks new controversy on ECU campus
Staff Reports
New protests have arisen
on campus, nearly a month
after the visit of Surgeon
General Joycelyn Elders.
Elders was on campus to
speak at the ECU School of
Medicine commencement. At
that time, approximately 50
people protested her stand
against the tobacco
industry.Now, it has been
revealed that while on
campus, the Surgeon General
also engageG in one of her
other controversial pursuits.
Long noted for her strong
support of sex education and
condom distribution in the
early grades, it has now been
learned that Elders
distributed free condoms to
campus squirrels. Elders
claimed studies which have
shown that the population of
squirrels on campus has
exploded in recent years as
justification for her actions.
According to Elders, squirrell
condoms should help prevent
the many unplanned
pregnancies on the ECU
campus. She also claimed that
condoms can help stop the
spread fo such dangerous
sexually transmitted diseases
as sciurilis, squirrelorrhea, as
well as the deadly NUTS
virus.
"We must make every
squirrel a planned and
wanted squirrwl Elders sad.
"We've allowed young male
squirrels to go around and
donate sperm. We need to
offer hope to these young
rosents
Many groups are upset by
Elder's plan. Lobbyists for the
hunters of the nation, the
American Rifle Fanatics
(ARF), fear the plan will leave
no helpless little nimals
upon which their members to
use their assault rifles.
Chester Holinuts, Bishop of
the Mall in the Rodent
Catholic Church, also
vigorously opposes this
policy. "I vigorously oppose
this policy the bishop said.
Speaker for the ECU Squirrel
Foundation, Hike Nuts, could
not be reached for comment.
Also fighting the policy is
the ECU administration,
which feels that giving the
condoms away will prevent
the proposed installation of
condom vending machines in
campus trees.
However, in the end, the
whole debate may turn out to
be merely academic (possibly
the first academic event ever
at ECU). With all the new
construction, most campus
squirrels have been forced to
find homes elsewhere,
thereby bringing an end to
any population surplus.

LOLLAPALOOZA '94
Photo by Leslie Petty
Here we see Billy Corgan of Loilapalooza headliners
Smashing Pumpkins looking moody for his many fans.
By Kris Hoffler
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
In 1991, former Jane's Addiction
and current Porno for Pyros lead
singer Perry Farrell created the
Loilapalooza festival, a traveling
showcase of alternative music. In
1992, Ferrell created a company to
produce Loilapalooza, which is re-
sponsible for the currently existing
organization. They have expanded
the nonmusical activities, known as
the Mindfield, to a more interactive
scope. It has now grown from the
carnival-type tiling of the fi rst year to
include things like computer interac-
tive attractioas and the Forum tent.
However, the music is probably
still the main attraction; it is diverse
and on the cutting edge of many
different styles. Some may argue that
they are notreally on thecurting edge
because of certain degrees of com-
merdalsuccessthatsomeofthebands
have attained. However, if the acts
weren't commercially iable, no one
would buy a ticket. Sort of a "Catch-
22" deal I think. Who's to say who
sold out?
This year's line up was certainly
diverse, probably more so than the
previous two years. There were two
punk bands, two rap, two rock, one
funk and one that can'tbe explained.
Then there was the second stage.
There were five bands on the
second stage, but I only saw three
because of complications that are re-
ally too convoluted to explain. The
Charlie Hunter Trio was the first to
reach my ear. They are a little "jazz-
punk" outfit that cranks out an unor-
thodox but groovy sound. The sec-
ond stage also hosted a rap act, the
trio from Brooklyn, Fu-Schnickens.
Their wide rangeof verbal techniques
and heavy base had thewholecrowd
bouncing around.
Stereolab was probably the best
of the second stage acts. Their mix-
ture of pop melodies with distorted
tweaks and squawks is strangely
pleasing to the ear. The fact that these
bands are "underground" added to
theenjovmait,especially to those who
dislike overproduction. If indepen-
dent, or " indie labels are your thing,
the second stage was the place to be.
Blast Off Country Style and
Lambchop were the two bands I
missed, much to my dismay.
In contrast, there were the spar-
kling sets, light show and commer-
ciallv viablebandsofthecenterstage.
I missed the first two acts, Green Day
and L7, because of the previously
mentioned complications. My
Loilapalooza partner said, "Well, we
missed the tv o punk acts. We may as
well go home He had a good point,
but we stuck it out anyway.
The third band was Nick Cave
and the Bad Seeds. Oneof their roadies
and a member of L7 sang lead vocals
on three songs, including the punk
classic "I Wanna be Your Dog be-
fore Nick Cave came out. I don't
know if it was planned or not, but
Nickdidn'tseem to mind. When Nick
took the helm, some really dark and
syrupy music resulted. The Bad Seeds
set was a powerful swagger through
the underside of life, with all the bru-
tal and harsh beauty that the group
could muster. It is something that
must be seen to be understood.
A Tribe Called Quest was the
next to take the stage. Their set was
sparse, only a DJ, a backdrop and
Phife and Q-Tip with mics in hand.
Most of their songs were taken from
their latestalbum, which is laced with
a more hard-edged style than their
previously jazzy albums. Their set
was short, less than 45 minutes, but
the bass-heavy grooves had much of
thecrowdontheirfeet. It was still a bit
too hot, however, and not everyone
was intoxicated enough to give the
appropriate response.
Riding the wave of success of
their latest and most successful al-
bum to date, Last Splash, The Breed-
ers were the next to play. The ampli-
fiers were piled high on their gold
lame stage props, and Kim Deal liad
donned a red t-shirt with the word
grunge written across the front in
magic marker ? it seemed like a
special occasion. The Breeders didn't
talk much, they just said thanks at the
end of a song and played another.
They drew material from all of their
past three releases, but most came
from Last Splash. "Safari" turned out
to be quite a powerful live song, as
was most of their set. One drawback
was that they did play "Cannonball
which I have heard one too many
times to enjoy anymore. Exit The
Breeders. Enter Clinton.

A Drop
in the
Bucket
By Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
This column is just wlwt it
claims to be: a very tiny drop in
the great screaming bucket of
American media opinion. Take it
as you will.
Loilapalooza: something or
someone striking or exceptional.
There's a story behind that
definition, and it's printed in
faded green ink on the rear of
a battered t-shirt I bought at
the original Loilapalooza fes-
tival in 1991. Now, that was
one hell of a day at Walnut
Creek Amphitheatre.
Loilapalooza founder Perry
Ferrell saw the festival as a
cultural event, and tnat first
year it was indeed a cultural
event.
Nose-ringed lesbians
were kissing on the festival
lawn. Mohawked punkers
and their funeral-shroud-
draped goth chick girlfriends
shopped for bongs and com-
bat boots along the pavilion.
White metal-heads cavorted
with Black gangsta rap fans in
a mosh pit the size of a jumbo
jet. It was a celebration of the
underground youth culture,
and it was a rousing success.
On thatday, I saw lotsof inter-
esting hair, had a few stimu-
lating conversations, and con-
tributed to the success of the
only money-making concert
tour of 1991.
That's right, kids ?
Loilapalooza made money.
Lots of money. Because of
this, the music business mo-
guls, the same people who
spent most of the '80s burying
alternative music under an
avalanche of Bon Jovi hair
bands, stuck their grubby mitts
into the pie. They attempted
to analyze the appeal of alter-
native music and apparently
decided it was mostly dirty
flannel and mumbling. They
marketed the image and

Melissa Etheridge satisfies at the Creek
By Warren Sumner
Sports Editor
Grammy-award winning artist Mel-
issa Etheridge delighted a packed Walnut
Creek Amphitheatre July 30, combining
her unique style of songwriting with an
energetic stage show. Etheridge and her
three backing musicians tore through over
20 songs from her four-album catalog, play-
ing every song with an intense passion
that one would normally only expect from
a select few musical legends.
As a member of Etheridge's diverse
audience, I was blessed with great weather,
as the sun emerged from the rainy Tri-
angle skies only a couple of hours before
the performance. By the grace of God, I
was lucky enough to get a cute date for
the show (thanks, Lori) and the review
seats I was given were the best I had
ever gotten for a concert. My mood
was already good, but Etheridge's ar-
rival made it even better.
Etheridgearrivedonthestagesim-
ply enough, strutting towards the mi-
crophone wearing a smile and holding
an acoustic guitar. With her arms out-
stretched towards her c ring audi-
ence she immediately started the intro
to the biggest hit of her career thus far,
the top-10 hit "Come to My Window"
off of her latest album Yes 1 Am. This
was a bold move, to start with her

Sir Mix-a-Lot
Chief Boot Knocka
JJ
Sir Mix-a-Lot is cool for many
reasons. He did a song with
Mudhoney. He's not afraid to tell the
world he likes big butts. He's from
Seattle. He's on the same record label
withSlayer,DanzigandohnnyCash.
He has a goatee and is just simply a
good guy. On top of all that, he has
just released a new CD entitled Chief
Boot Kiiocka.
This is probably Mix-a-Lot's most
mature album to date, as he takes on
a wider range of subjects. Take the
lyrics from "What's Real for ex-
ample. "Umma focus on my real en-
emy. Well if I'm pimpin' then who's
my ho? He's in DC livin' a big
white housebro. Changes his name
every four years Then, in the vvrv
next song you can hear, "I like my
girls nastv Amazingly enough, he
says both with the same intensity.
Chief Boot Kiuxka is totally com-
puter made. Mix-A-Lot has the thing
inaroomin his house. You can tell that
thiswasnotputtogetherinthenormal
D method. Most of the background
beats are computer generated loops,
he abandons the normal method of
sampeling beats from the past. The
surreal and outrageous effects made
by the computer are piled high atop
each other in the music. It makes a
cleaner and more serious sound than
any of his previous work
The opening track, "Sleepin' Wit
My Fonk is a collaborative effort
writtenbySirMix-a-Lot,r3cxitsyCollins
and GeorgeClinton. As you may guess,
it is a funky little number in an old
school kind of way. Flea, from the Red
Hot Chili Peppers, plays the guest
bass spot, adding to the list of names
that helped make this one song and
influenced the album th roughout. Mix-
a-Lot keeps good company.
The songs on this release range in
stvlefrom funk tobass-heavy raptoan
upbeat techno tempo. Sir Mix-a-I ot
has broken into new ground with his
latest release, and it is the nature of rap
music to seek new ground. He stays
true to the game and puts out some
quality music wi th this new release, so
check it out.

Julian Cope
Autogeddon
JJJ
British rock-n-roll eccentric
Julian Cope just released a very
strange solo effort ti tied Autogeddon.
Cope is a veteran of the late 70's
English rock scene, and much of the
70's influence still exists on his latest
release. Autogeddon is a predomi-
nantly acoustic alternative album
with a few spacy instrumental
mixed in.
I istening to the album, I get the
feeling tha t Cope is trying to be philo-
sophical, but the references that he is
making are not very easy to grasp.
Cope points out the evils that he
thinks are associated with automo-
biles. In the liner notes, he tells a
storv about finding that his car had
exploded the day alter Christmas
The first two songs,
"Autogeddon Blues" and
"Madmax are very easy to listen
to. They are both acoustic songs, and
they get progressively louder. I found
myself adjusting the volume fre-
quently while listening to this al-
bum.
The third cut, "Don't Call Me
Mark Chapman is also acoustic. It
sounds kind of interesting at first,
but then it starts getting quieter until
the music fades out entirely and you
are just left withCope talking through
the last minute of the song.
Through the next two songs, "I
Gotta Walk" and "Ain't No Gettin'
Round Gettin' Round Cope starts
experimenting a little too much.
These twosongsare the hardest driv-
ing electric tracks on the album. In "1
Gotta Walk" Cope totally changes
his voice, and you really cannnot
understand a thing that he says.
"Ain't No Gettin' Round Gettin'
Round" just scunds like a bunch of
unorganized noise. It has no obvi-
ous focus. This is definitely a part of
the album to fast forward through.
The rest of the album contains
mostly instrumentals. They sound
kind of interestingat times, butnoth-
ing 1 would listen to intentionally. I
felt like the album ended after the
third song. There was nothing really
worth listening to after "Don't Call
Me Mark Chapman

All-Stars have two main purposes:
1) to put a glide in your stride and a
dip in your hip and bring you on
board the mother ship; 2) to free
your mind so your ass will follow.
Clinton (like Nick Cave) is some-
thing that must be seen to be under-
stood. At one time there were at
least 20 people on stage, each play-
ing an instrument, singing or danc-
ing. The mass of instruments and
people on stage cranked out some
ofthefunkieststuff this sideof James
Brown. The All-Stars rocked the
house with standards like "Atomic
Dog" and newer songs off their
latestalbum"HeyManSmellMy
Finger To the eye they were like
chaos theory in action and to theear,
pure funk.
1 he Beastie Boys took the stage
just as the sun was going down.
Their set consisted of two things:
punk and rap, and they shifted back
and forth between these two styles
with relative ease. Their set started
the first real pitof theday,especially
when they cranked ou t some of the
harder punk tunes like "Tough
Guy It was refreshing to see that
after years of success they still man-
age to act like they just got out of
high school; their energy was re-
lentless. Thev ended with " Rhymin'

album License to 01, and exited with

frenzy.

Ford chooses another quality film role
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
1 Harrison Ford has become
drre of the few actors whose films
always display some amount of
artistic integrity. Usually one cites
directors, or possibly screen-
writers, as the artistic component
of a given film that serves as a
barometer of the film's quality.
Actors can emote perfectly in a
shoddy story and the film will be
shoddy despite the actor's best
attempts to overcome the flaws.
A Jack Nicholson film may pique
more interest than a 'ilm starring
lesser-known players, but the in-
tegrity of the film remains a co-
nundrum until the film is viewed.
' Harrison Ford has now been
acting for over 20 years and has
established the simple fact that
he does not choose poor films in
which to star. Ford's private life
has remained remarkably private
? he leaves his home in Wyo-
ming only a few times a year to
make a film ? but enough has
been learned of this quietly as-
sured man to know that he only
?selects films which attain a cer-
tain, level of quality.
'Bruce Willis often talks about
I they'crap shoot" of choosing roles,
?but his claim that luck determines
'what will make a good film de-
nies the fact that most films need
J to have some earmarks of quality
; before production ever begins.
I Ford has a keen sense for choos-
I ing roles as evidenced by the re-
? markable commercial and criti-
-cal success of most of his films.
; Even the lesser-known films like
; Regarding Henry and Frantic sat-
! isfy the viewer.
Ford's latest selection is an
adaptation of the Tom Clancy
; hovel Clear and Present Danger.
:Ford reprises the role of Jack
:feyan, which he assumed in Pa-
triot Games after Alec Baldwin
" (who played Ryan in The Hunt for
-Red October) was replaced. True
to form, Ford has selected a ve-
?"fiide that is suited to his talents
.nd which has quality people as-
:pociated with it.
5 In Clear and Present Danger,
Ryan must take over as acting
deputy director of the CIA when
i; Admiral James Greer (marvel-

succumbed to the same mental-
ity that most movie producers
have, which is to view the audi-
ence with little respect. So many
films are filled with explosions,
killings, chases and fights that a
high quality film with a deliber-
ate pace no longer warrants com-
mendation. I wonder if Alfred
Hitchcock would be viewed as a
master in today's cinematic mi-
lieu since most of his films unfold

at a deliberate pace meant to en-
gage all the viewer's attention.
Clear and Present Danger takes
nearly two and a half hours to tell
its tale and never once does it lag.
Though explosions do not occur
frequently, the ones that do affect
the viewer because of the fierce-
ness and brutality associated with
them.
The story takes place in three
areas: the government, of which
Ryan is a part, the drug lords in
Colombia, and the covert team
led by Clark (Willem Defoe) sent
into Colombia to wage war
against the drug lords. Each of
the three stories intrigue the
viewer and keep his mental
wheels turning to understand
who is who and what they are
doing. The characters weave in
and out of the three stories and
keep the viewer on his mental
toes to follow the plot twists.
One of the nice attributes of
Clear and Present Danger is that the
world is not danger of being blown
up nor is a country in danger of
beginning World War III. Instead
the plot revolves around a drug
cartel, and the government inter-
cedes to try to thwart the drug
trade. Like Patriot Games before it,
Clear and Present Danger maxi-
mizes its effect by minimizing the
scale of the story. Some may read
the film as a condemnation of the
U.S. government, but the story it-
self is really just a tight-knit tale of
espionage that happens, in this
case, to involve the presidency
of the United States.
Clear and Present Danger de-
serves to be seen and it deserves
more praise than has been doled
out by the press. A stellar cast,
quality direction by Phillip
Noyce and a strong adaptation
of Clancy's work (although the
author was displeased with the
result) combine to make Clear
and Present Danger one of the
summer's best films.
On a scale of one to ten, Clear
and Present Danger rates an eight.

By Martin Newton
Staff Writer
It's 8:15 p.m. and I finally ar-
rive at my seat. Not the one I just
got up from, but the one that's
listed on my ticket stub. The
booming sounds of Hip Hopster
M.C. Lyte and crew warm up the
anxious crowd as last-minute
stragglers enter the pavilion from
the torrential late-July rain. I'm
seated next to this perky blond
named Tiffany who is telling her
friend that the venue is at or near
capacity. She smells like Molson
Ice.
Anyone familiar with the
Walnut Creek Amphitheater
should remember the enormous
lawn that makes a half moon
around the rear of the venue. Well,
just before M.C. Lyte closes her
set with her hit song "Rough-
neck I notice that not one blade
of grass can be seen on the lawn.
This should give some indication
as to how many people attended
the concert despite the rain.
The time is now 9:10 p.m. and
the excitement rises as the rest-
less crowd shouts "Janet! Janet!
Janet As the curtain rises to
thunderous applause, Janet's
stark silhouette is seen on all six
of the amphitheater's screens. As
the pyrotechnic smoke clears, a
large box m
drops from
the ceiling,
and Janet ap-
pears on top
of it. The ex-
citement of
the crowd
reaches an-
other level.

the most exciting concerts I have
ever attended.
Janet opened with the tune
"If I Was Your Girlfriend Dur-
ing this set she strutted across the
stage with a body that looks as if
she works out 24 hours a day. The
songs "What
Have You
Done for Me
Lately" and
"Nasty" fol-
lowed.
A couple
of the more
noticeable
twists found
at a Janet

cert are the
skits and
stage acting
going on
??????????i while she
sings.
Also amazing are the number
of costume changes made by
Janet, the dancers and the rest of
the people on stage with little or
no break in the action.
Janet performed material,
from her last three albums, in-
cluding the "Rhythm Nation
set, which coincided with crisp,
flashy dance moves and those
black uniforms seen in the
video.
Several ballads were also
performed. Among these:
"Something You Should
Know where Janet found a
volunteer from the audience to
come up on stage while she
sang to him, and "Again
where Janet sat alone on stage
and cried near the end of the
song. Needless to say, the
crowd became fully involved.
At various other points
during the show Janet and her
dancers influenced the crowd
to sing or dance along. This,
too, was met with a harmonic
ous response.
From the light show to the
sound system to Janet's versa-
tile abilities, the show was defi-
nitely world class. If one word
could describe it all, I would
have to say unreall

Migraine, anyone
?a
Migraine headaches affect mil-
lionsof peopleevery day. More than
18 million Americans seek medical
advice for headache problems, mak-
ing headaches a top ten reason for
visiting the doctor. Migraine head-
aches can be described as a more
severe or intense headache than nor-
mal, usually affecting one side
ofthehead.Inmanycases
this pain is accompa-
nied by nausea and
vomiting.
College stu- Sr
dentsmaybeprone
tomigrainesdueto
the many factors j
thatprecipitatethese r
headaches. For ex-
ample, stress, altered
sleeping patterns, alcohol, food,
allergies, light andor sound sensi-
tivity, allergies, hypoglycemia, oral
contraceptives and other drugs can
all contribute to the onset of a mi-
graine headache. It has also been
determined that more females get
migraines than males.
Migraines can be classified into
anumberof differentcategories. The
classic migraine, or migraine with aura
(the visual or the neurological distur-
bance that people may experience
approximately thirty minutes prior
to an attack) is characterized by neu-
rologic symptoms related to visual
and sensory systems. The common
migraine, or migraine without aura,
often occurs more fre-
quentlyandlastslonger
than the classic mi-
graine. One com-
mon way this mi-
i graine occurs is
fc upon awakening.
More complicated
migraines, includ-
ing basilar,
optnalmoplegjc, famil-
ial hemiplegic and reti-
nal migraines, occur on rare
occasions.
To coincide with the many cat-
egories of migraine headaches, there
are also a number of different treat-
ments for migraines. Analgesics
anti-inflammatory drugs such as as-
pirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen
(Tylenol) and other over-the-counter
medications have been used to treat
f By Heather Zophy
? Student Health Services
mild to moderate migraines. While
these drugs are designed to relieve
pain, overuse of analgesics has been
known to actually cause headaches.
Other tvpes of abortive therapy in-
clude Ergot Alkaloids, used to treat
moderately severe migraine head-
aches, and Sumatriptan, used as an
acute treatment for moderately se-
vere classic and common migraines.
Prophylactic therapy may be
prescribed for those individuals who
experience migraines two or more
times a month which do not respond
to abortive therapy. Methysergide,
Beta-Adrenergic Blockers, Tricyclic
Antidepressants, Calcium Channe!
Blockers and Nonsteroidal Anti-In-
flammatory Drugs are examples of
prophylactic treatments, and they
may be accompanied by side affects.
Migraines can be a very disrup-
tive disorder, and they pose many
questions for headache sufferers. To
Ieam more about migraines, please
attend the one-hour session on mi-
graine headaches Monday, Aug. 29.
The session will be held at ECU Stu-
dent Health Center in the lobby area
at 7:00 p.m and admission is free.
Quayle questions press
By Brian Hall
Opinion Editor
During his four years in office,
Dan Quay le suffered the slings and
arrows of an overwhelmingly nega-
tive press corps, as well as the re-
lentless jokes of late night comedi-
ans. Now, in what is surely only the
first shot in an attempted come-
back, Quayle has prod uced his ver-
sion of the Bush presidency and his
role therein, Standing Firm (Harper
Collins).
To many, including Dan
Quayle, the coverage of the former
vice-president proved just how bi-
ased the media is against conserva-
tives. A large portion of this mem-
oir is devoted to the relationship
between Quayle and the press. In
fact, after reading this account, one
might think that the political oppo-
sition to the Bush administration
was not the Democratic Party, but
the American press. No member of
the Democratic Congressional
Leadership is mentioned more than
once or twice. If it is his intention to
run in 1996, one must wonder if
this book is intended to help him
win the general election, or simply
the nomination. Of course, in the
primaries, his only opposition
would be the press, his public per-
ception as an idiot, and other Re-
publicans.
According to Quayle, the fault
for his bad relationship with the
press belongs to the 1988 Bush cam-
paign staff, specifically Stu Spen-
cer and Joe Canzeri, his assigned
"handlers and James Baker. Spen-
cer and Canzeri are blamed for both
imposing a style of campaigning
not suitable to Quayle's style, and
for leaking information to the press
(in an attempt to make themselves
look better) about how difficult a
job thev were given. Baker is blamed
for not being supportive of the
president's choice for running
mate. Beinga realistic politician,
Quayle is quite ready to forgive
Baker for this. What this heady
politician is not ready to forgive
Baker for is his lack of prepara-
tion, a mortal political sin.
This lack of preparation
showed throughout the 1988
election, beginning at the con-
vention in New Orleans. Before
the surprise pick for vice-presi-
dent was announced, Baker had
assured Quayle that the press
would be given all necessary in-
formation about him. Instead,
the press was left to fend for
itself. Quayle believes that this
did two things. First, it unneces-
sarily' aggravated the press, by
leaving them unprepared for

Could it happen to anybody?
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
One would be hard-pressed to
find a more engaging romantic
comedy this summer than It Could
Happen to You, starring Nicholas
Cage, Bridget Fonda and Rosie
Perez, and directed by Andrew
Bergman. Charming, delightful and
stupendous aptly describe this film.
It Could Happen to You tellsstory
of an honest, hard-working police-
man named Charlie Lang (Cage).
Charlie works and lives in Queens
and is completely content with his
work and his home. Charlie's wife
Muriel (Perez) longs for a better life
with a house outside of Queens
and thus Muriel faithfully plays
thelottery to make her dreams come
true.
Charlie buys Muriel a lottery
ticket one week and then does not
have enough change to tip his wait-
ress Yvonne (Fonda) at a corner
coffee shop. Charlie offers to give
Yvonne his lottery ticket as a tip,
but Yvonne refuses because all her
luck has been bad (Yvonne is de-
clared bankrupt earlier in the film).
Not to be put off, Charlie promises
to split any winnings from the lot-
tery ticket and even if he does not
win he vows to return the next day
with a proper tip.
Yvonne tells Charlie that she
expects to never see him again, but
Charlie shows up the next day to
split his winnings. Charlie and
Muriel have won $4 million in the
New York State lottery, and now
Charlie feels obligated to give $2
million to Yvonne, much to the con-
sternation of Muriel.
The rest of It Could Happen to
You entails the changes that the
three main characters experience
due to their newly acquired wealth.
Muriel schemes to make more
money, Charlie donates a large
portion of it and Yvonne splurges
with some good groceries.
Nicholas Cage once again
proves his versatility as an actor.
He exudes charm. Following so
closely on the footsteps of Guarding
Tess, Cage seems to be poised to
becomeamajorstar. Being asked to
star in such a wonderful role must

give Cage a great deal of confi-
dence. Charlie Lang is the type of
character that Car)' Grant could
have played and Cage's perfor-
mance justifies that comparison.
Bridget Fonda has managed to
keep working despite some ill-ad-
vised film choices. In It Coidd Hap-
pen to You, she perfectly portrays
the struggling waitress whose heart
beats with a strong compassion for
humankind.
Rosie Perez, though intensely
unlikable in this film, does her job
well. She seems to relish the role
even though she knows her charac-
ter is destined to be hated.
Though the cast does a marvel-
ous job, the genuine warmth and
good spirit with which It Could Hap-
pen to You is told can be attributed
almost solely to Andrew Bergman.
Bergman most recently wrote and
directed Honeymoon in Vegas, an-
other charming story of love with
healthy dollops of humor scooped
in. Bergman, who also directed and
wrote The Freshman, handles both
chores in It Could Happen to You. He
has crafted a genuinely entertain-
ing and heartwarming fairy tale
that offers the simple pleasures that
recent films seem to have forgot-
ten.
Bergman has incredible fun cre-
ating methods for Charlie to find
philanthropic ways to spend the
lottery money. At one point, Charlie
and Yvonne announce to the sub-
way riders that the fare home that
night is on them. Charlie also takes
the kids from his neighborhood to
Yankee Stadium for a day.
Charlie's magnanimous deeds
are reflected by the generosity of
Bergman to share this film with his
audience. It Could Happen to You
soars on the wings of positive feel-
ings and warm humor. The film
will leave its audience smiling
broadly and wishing the good feel-
ings elicited by the film could last a
long time.
On a scale of one to ten, It CouId
Happen to You rates an eight.
Rock museum expects controversy
The director of a S90-million
shrine to rock 'n' roll music to open
next year in Cleveland figures his
involvement in an obscenity trial
helped him land the job.
He is Dennis Barrie, 47, an out-
spokendefenderof First Amendment
rights and a devotee of rock, which he
claims has changed the world.
"They say the fall of the Berlin
Wall was because of the arms
buildup Barrie says. "That's non-
sense. It was because of Western cul-
ture seeping over the wall and creat-
ing expectation levels and rock had a
big part to do with that
Barrie was head of the Contem-
porary Arts Center in Cincinnati in
1990whenacontroversy erupted over
anexhibitionofphotographsby Rob-
ert Mapplethorpe depicting homo-
sexual acts.
Indicted on obscenity charges,
Barrie was acquitted in a jury trial.
Two years later he resigned from the
museum and started his own com-
pany to develop traveling art exhibi-
tions.
Now Barrieisdirectorof the Rock
andRollHallofFameandMuseumin
Cleveland, housed in a building de-
signedbyarchitectI.M.Peiandsched-
uled to open on Labor Day, 1995.
Had it not been, for the
Mapplethorpe flap, Barrie says, the
rock museum wouldn't have heard
of him.
"Rock 'n' roll has often been the
subject of First Amendment battles
he says. "Rock music is always under
attack. I think that was very relevant
for a lot of the decision-makers who
chose me for the job.
"M you really look back at its
history, you know it has always been
controversial. The music that now
seems nostalgic was considered dan-
gerous stuff when it came out. Elvis
Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Rich-
ard, were considered dangerous by
parents. Lyrics were controversial.
Rap and heavy metal are still rebel-
lionand themusicof younger people,
hard for older generations to deal
with"
The rock shrine, Barrie says, "is
such an exciting project it lured me
back into the museum world.
"I think popular culture hasbeen
one of the most powerful forces of the
last 40 or 50 years and it has acceler-
ated in the last 20 years. It's the most
accessibleofall popular cultural forms.
All you need is a radio or a cassette
player. Rock is 60 percent of all the
music sold in the world, probably
higher in the United States
Bairie'scalendarlists48rockcon-
certs he hopes to attend this summer.
"We try to get bands to come
down to the construction site he
says. "Pink Hoyd came down. They
were blown away by the scale and
scope of it. They're going to give us
some of their stage props
Other acquisitions include Jim
Morrison's Cub Scout uniform, Jimi
Hendrix's handwritten lyrics to
"Purple Haze" and one of Keith
Moon's high-school report cards
which said he was "doing miserably
in everything except music apprecia-
tWL"
"The museum wants to portray
rock 'n' roll and its impact on society
in an honest way Barrie says. "That
means we won't skirt over the
controversies. We want to deal
with how it affected our political
and social structure and racial re-
lationships
The Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame began holding banquets in
1983 to honor people whocontrith
uted to the music. An annual an-
nouncementthatthemuseumwill
open the following year had be-
come a joke at the banquets.
Cleveland was chosen for the
museum site in 1986, principally
because of the willingness of the
city, Cuyahoga County and the .
state of Ohio to raise money for it .
Moneyalsocamefromtherecord- ?
ing industry.
"Cleveland disc jockey Alan.
Freed popularized rhephraserock-
'n' roll Barrie says. "He played
themusic. Butthe main reason for
the museum's location is that the,
city pursued the project with a
vengeance. Civic leaders really,
wanted it, for tourism. They orga-
nized a campaign, got popular
support and found the money

QUAYLE
Continued from page 24
commenting intelligently on the
new candidate's career and life. Sec-
ond, lack of knowledge created an
atmosphere where the wildest ru-
mors were accepted as fact.
Quayle spends much of the
book trying to debunk these ru-
mors, many of which are still circu-
lated as fact today. An example is
the widely held belief that Quayle
had been extremely wealthy his
entire life. In fact, while his grand-
father did amass an immense for-
tune in the newspaper business, he
did not believe in inherited wealth,
and left his children only small
amounts. Adding to this miscon-
ception is Quayle's full name, James
DanforthQuayle. While this sounds
like an upper class name (so much
so that many reporters insisted on
putting a IH after it, even long after
the election), in fact, it is in honor of
a friend of his father, James
Danforth, who was killed in the
Second World War.
Clearly, much of the coverage
of Quayle in 1988 was completely
unfair. The media fell over them-
selves following false leads, sug-
psring that Quayle had used un-
due influence to get into the Na-
tibnaKiuard during Vietnam, that
he had plagiarized while in college
and that he had a long time drug
problem. Just how unfair the ques-
tioning became can be seen in the
vice-presidential debate. Three
times he was asked what he would
do if he became president. On the
surface this might seem a fair ques-
tion to put to a young politician
with limited political experience.
However, two Democrats who ran
for their party's nomination that
same year, Al Gore and Dick
Gephardt, and who were both
elected to Congress for the first time
the same year as Quayle, were not
put through the same scrutiny.
The press' obsession with
Quayle continued after the elec-
tion, as they were constantly on the
lookout for gaffes. Quayle believes
that the press by this time had in-
vested so much time and effort into
the caricature that they had drawn
that they looked for justifications
for this image. While visiting
American Samoa, Quayle, noticing
that there were many children in
attendance, innocently made a com-
ment that there were a bunch of
"happy campers" at a rally. Some-
how the press decided that the fact
that Quayle mispronounced the
name of de Tocqueville was fur-
ther proof of hisstupidity. Perhaps
the worst case of all is the still wide
spread belief that Quayle once said,
after touring Latin America, that
he wished that he had studied Latin
more in school. In fact, this was a
Quayle joke, told by Rep. Claudine
Schneider in 1989 at a Belgian em-
bassy function. It has been reported
as fact ever since.
Quayle makes a fairly strong
case that he was a fair vice-presi-
dent. The second job is a strange
position, and has unusual require-
ments. A veep must provide pri va te
counsel in policy debates. He must
then provide unequivocal public
support for whatever the
aclrninistration'spositioneventually
is. A perfect example of this is the
infamousbudget deal of 1990 which
might have cost Bush the re-elec-
tion. Quayle vociferously opposed
the deal administration meetings,
but once made, he became one of
the loudest proponents of the plan.
In his only official duty, as president
of the Senate, Quayle relates that he
frequently called on Tom Harkin,
since he knew that the senator's in-
temperate rhetoric would winmore
votes for the Republican side than
any impassioned speech for a mea-
sure. He represented America on
foreign visits without any embar-
rassing gaffes.
Quayle claims that the foremost
requirement for a vice-president is
loyalty, and he certainly displays
this characteristic. The closest
Quayle comes to criticizing his old
boss, George Bush, is that he was
too kind, too forgiving for his own
good. Bush was "the kind of man I
would aspire to be myself, and
would want my sons to emulate
Bush was greatly disturbed by
people not getting along. He did not
want fights within the administra-
tion. This certainly rings true. Bush
seemed to be the consummate com-
promiser, having no firm beliefs of
his own, especially in domestic af-
fairs.
Quayle, without a doubt, has
much better political instincts and
cared more about the success of the
Bushpresidency than the president.
Bush did best when he followed the
advice of his vice-president, as in
the Gulf War, and worst when he
went against Quayle's advice, like
the 1990 budget deal.
Dan Quayle could only have
two possible motives for writing
this book. One would be to try to get
his side of the story of the Bush
presidency, and his role therein, out
to the public in an attempt to rescue
something of his public image. If
this was his motivation, then he has
made an excellent first step. Most
people by now realize that it would
be impossible for Quayle to be the
drooling idiot that he has been made
out to be. If, on the other hand, this
book is merely the first shot in a
campaign for president in 19, then
he has much further to go. While the
book undoubtedly will help his pub-
lic image, it only will not, nor should
it, answer all the questions that the
American people have about his
abilities and intelligence. While not
terribly well written, the book is
worth picking up, if for no other
reason than so you can make up
your mind, instead of relying on the
news to do your thinking for you.

The East Carolinian 29:
ETHERIDGE
biggest "gunbut Etheridge pulled
it off, as the song was only a pre-
lude for what was to come. "No
Souvenirs" from Brave and Crazy
followed and Etheridge teased her
crowd with a slower, but still rock-
ing version.
Etheridge greeted her crowd
after this song immediately bring-
ing the farthest fan on the Pa vilion's
lawn into her intimate stage show.
In just seven minutes, Etheridge
turned an audience of thousands
into the attentive equivalent of a
nightclub crowd. Etheridge jumped
into "If I Only Wanted To from
Yes I Am, and brought the house
down withher intertwined version
of "Don't You Need" and "Similar
Features" from her self-titled de-
but. "Resist" and "Yes I Am" fol-
lowedfromher latestrelease, work-
ing the crowd into a frenzied roar.
Etheridge then made her bold-
est move of the night as a lamp-
light descended from the ceiling
and hung over the performer's
head. Etheridge brought the audi-
ence into her world of eight years
ago, when the singer was playing
back-alley bars around her home-
town ofKansas using only anacous-
tic guitar and a microphone. She
kicked off an acoustic version of
"Ain't It Heavy" off Never Enough
that brought the audience singing

the chorus with Etheridge at the
top of their lungs. Etheridge, witha
chuckle, asked the audience,
"Where were you eight years ago?"
"Occasionally" and "You Can
Sleep While I Drive" heralded the
return of the band for the highlight
of the show "Chrome-Plated
Heart Drummer David Byer
played an incredible solo, at one
point striking his sticks on
Etheridge's and Guitarist John
Shank's acoustic guitar. "Silent
Legacy" followed by "American
Girl" and "I'm the Only One"
brought the audience to its feet,
and "2001" and "Must Be Crazy
For Me" got the crowd dancing on
them.
Etheridge left the stage to her
firsthit, "Somebody BringMeSome
Water returning for an encore
with "Like the Way IDo Etheridge
returned for a second time with
'Talking to My Angel bidding
her goodbyes to the crowd. She
exited the show just as she had
entered it, smiling and heading off
the stage with her guitar in tow.
She, with the help of her band, had

and delivered her fans their
money's worth. One day Melissa
Etheridge will join the ranks of the
legends, and it will be because of
nights like July 30.

have stopped going. I myself have
vowed after the last two shows to
never go again. Why? Part of it is
the bands. Every year the line-up
gets less and less progressive. In-
stead of influencing the scene,
Lollapalooza hasbecome influenced
by it
But the real reason is that
Lollapalooza has become just an-
other concert. Somewhere in there,
Lollapalooza stopped being a cul-
tural event, a festival celebrating the
underground, and became an ex-
cuse to get stupid drunk, pass out
from heat exhaustion, and wonder
out loud why Aerosmith wasn't in-
vited (all of whichl witnessed atthis
year's show). That's not striking, or
exceptional; that's pathetic.

year's festival was a grand and di-

psychedelic-cyber-circus that
proves to be a lot of fun. Despite all
that, there seems to be something
vital missing.
Whatever. See you next year
