Owl said The Pirates take on the Golden Eagles Saturday at 4 p.m. in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium
By Tambra Zion
Assistant News Editor
More than 40 hours of prepara-
tion and cooperative ef fork by Pub-
lic Safety, Greenville Police, the Ath-
letics Department, gatekeepers and
students made Saturday's game a
positive beginning for this year's
football season.
"I enjoved the game a great deal
and thought our young men on the
football team gave a very good per-
formance. They are obviously get-
ting better week by week and we
are proud of their achievements
said Chancellor Richard Eakin. "I
was very proud and pleased to see
the way that the game festivities
unfolded. I believe that the behav-
ior of the fans was exemplary and
we are looking forward to continu-
ing that fine tradition
Despite a few problems, Public-
Safety Director Teresa Crocker,
along with many university offi-
cials, believe the game coordina-
tion and student behavior were ex-
cellent.
"I think things went fantasric
when we compare it with the first
game last year, we're worlds apart
said Dean of Students Ronald
Speier. "I did spend time observing
the student section from the south
side or the stands, and I saw very
little difficulties other than at times
the islewavs seemed to be con-
gested. I did observe that they took
a few students out of the stadium, 1
suspect that was for some kind of
rowdiness or public consumption
compared to other games and
other events I've been at I think
we had a very positiveexperience
Crocker said two fights were
stopped, and arrests were made.
One lost child was claimed after an
announcement, and a few medical
emergencies occurred. The total of
problems reported included six in-
cidents in the stands and one stolen
picnic table.
"One big problem is that stu-
dents wouldn't come in until the
game started, which caused a ma-
jor backlog at the student gate and
also caused a major backlog when
people were trying to get to their
seats Crocker said. "It's a safety
issue When you get people on the
step peopk get knocked around,
ard people who are intoxicated may
fall
Public Safety controlled over-
crowding by regulating the num-
ber of students allowed to enter
the stands at one time.
"Our main concern is what s
going on in the parking lot
Crocker said. "Making sure that
the lots are safe and mat people
don't cause a lot of problems
Parking and traffic flow are
Public Safety's main concerns,
Crocker said. Students also need
to clean up their tailgating areas
instead of throwing waste along
the grounds. Approximately
33,000 attended the game, which
makes for a lot of trash.
"People need to use receptacles
and trash bags because it is so
ugly out there once everybody
leaves Crocker said.
Crocker said that she is looking
forward to this weekend's game
and believes the department looks
forward to game days as well.
I think for the most part people
enjoy working it because it's a
different type of assignment than
what they do everyday Crocker
said.

was unavailable for comment.

Nat'l, local financial aid default rate down
By Jeb Brookshire
Staff Writer
National statistics show that in
the past few years, student loan
default rates have dropped sub-
stantially.
According to an article in
USAToday, nationally, the default
rate dropped to 15 percent in IL
from 22.4 percent in 1990. Statis-
tics for North Carolina show the
statewide default rate at a little
over n percent. There were 2
schools in North Ca rolina that had
no default. East Carolina's over-
all default rate is 3.4 percent. The
lower rates can be attributed to
tougher oversight, higher penal-
ties for non-payment and student
financial counseling. This year,
anv ol whose default rate has
been higher than 25 percent for
the past three years can lose its
eligibility to participate in federal
loan programs.
"These figures are relatively
lowsaid Mary Rose Stelma, Stu-
dent Financial Aid director. "We
pride ourselves with a very low
default rate, in fact, we probably
have one of the lowest default
rates in the state
According to Stelma, the de-
fault rate, in simple terms, is a
percent of people who have taken
out a loan and have not paid it
back on time. A loan is consid-
ered to be in default when it is
more than 120 days overdue.
There are two types of loans
offered at most universities, fed-
erally-granted and institutionally
-granted loans. East Carolina of-
fers both kinds of loans. Federal
loans are funded by the govern-
ment and institutional loans are
funded through the individual
university. There are also parent
loans These are loans that a
student's parent takes out on be-
half of the student from other
institutions, such as banks.
According to Sherry Speight,
business affairs collection officer,
of the federally-granted loans at
ECU, the Perkins loan has a 4.97
percent default rate. The Nurs-
ing and the Health Professions
loans have 1.51 percent and 1.3S
percent default rates. The Sarah
Clement loan, which is an insti-
tutional loan, has a 7.38 percent
default rate. ECU has several
loans that are not in default. They
include loans that are given out
to students with disabilities, and
an ECU loan.
The largest and most widely
available loan to students at any
university is the Stafford Loan. At
ECU, the default rate for this loan
is 3.4 percent. 5,049 students use
the Stafford loan here at ECU, bor-
rowing 20 million dollars. These
figures are for the 1993-1994 aca-
demic year which ended on June
30. However the money does not
always arrive on time. This can
cause problems for students that
depend on these loans to pay for
their college. Accord ing to Stelma,
freshmen by law, can not receive
their loans until the first thirty
days of school are past.
"I feel that first time borrowers
should be more informed because
1 felt like I was being left in the
dark. It's not like I am borrowing
lunch money, I am taking a loan
out on my future said Adam
Eckhardt, a freshman at ECU. "I
was frustrated when I found out
that the loan wouldn't be released
until 30 days after the semester. I
guess I what really scared me was
that I didn't know about the de-
ferment
This can be a comment senti-
ment among students. Depend-
ing on the number of applicants,
the processing time could simply
take longer and often the student
is the last one to know.
"The fact that the money from
Air Force Cadet outruns 1,900 to break record
the Stafford loan has not arrived
on time doesn't really bother
me personally said Stephanie
Fritz, a sophomore at ECU. "I
have other loans and grants that
have helped me out, but I know
people who are in the red be-
cause their money isn't here
A sense of panic may set in
for first year students who did
not anticipate a wait. However,
the only problems that have
surfaced so far have surfaced
from banks that have changed
their computer programs,
which will increase the process-
ing time.
"I don't think that these de-
lays are abnormal Stelma
said. "There has been nothing
unusual about this year so far

Students can actively help ECU

cling theold newspapers, glass and
plastic bottles, cluttering their
rooms and trash cans.
George Armistead, hazardous
waste manager tor the Office of
Environmental Health and Safety
and recycling coordinator, said the
C I egislature passed an amend-
ment to the Solid Waste Act, man-
dating all state agencies, including
universities, toret ycle. Iheamend-
ment also called-for the agencies
and universities to take the lead in
the recy ling effort.
"State agencies and universities
are supposed to take the lead on
the development ot recy ling pro-
grams and research Armistead
said. "Also, state agencies are re-
quired by this aw to give pur-
chase preference tor products i on-
taining recycled material like pa-
per and plastic trash cans
Armistead said some ot the
equipment bought by the univer-
sity for the children's playground
on campus is madeot plastic wood,
which contains UK) percent post-
consumer recycled plastic.
While Armistead is responsible
for the organization of recvcling
efforts outof the Office of Environ-
mental Health and Safety, other
departments and residence halls
are in olved.
"Basically, I am the recycling
coordinator tor the agency, and it
has been suggested in the pro-
grams that you have assistant r
ordinators Armistead said
"We've had this in place with de-
partmental safety representatives
in our office, so it was only natural
that we set up someone who is a
contact in each department for re-
cycling in administrative depart-
ments. We also have them in hous-
mg and student life
Presently, residence halls only
have aluminum can collection con-
tainers.
"The simple reason being not
enough room in residence halls
Armistead said. "The Department
of Insurance doesn't like us to
block up hallways with a lot of
trash cans
Armistead said the state fire
codes also prevented more recy-
cling containers from being in the
residence halls, particularly be-
cause of the combustibility of pa-
per.
As an alternative, ECU has de-
veloped a system to allow stu-
dents a way to recycle other items
outside the residence halls.
"We do have a trailer available
on College Hill, at Green Hall and
at Fleming Hall that rotates
through on a weekly basis
The drop-off trailer is located
on College Hill each week from 8
a.m. until 4 p.m. Tuesday, at Green

ECU locks down patent
Drew Goettman
Staff Writer
When the late Dr. David
Gobeski found himself the
proud possessor of one of
ECU'S first patents, little did
he realize that he would be one
of the initial catalysts in a re-
vival ot Reports of Invention"
from innovative ECU faculty
members.
Gobeski, an assistant profes-
sor of industrial technology
who was shot and killed earlier
this month, was granted one of
ECU'S first patents: U.S. Patent
No. 5,167,135, granted on Dec.
1, 1992, for a "Safety Lockout
Adapter and Coupling Mem-
ber Used Therefor
"Dave had gone out and
bought a safety device to use in
class as he taught Occupational
Safetv and Health Administra-
tion (OSHA) regulations said
Dr. Darrvl Davis, dean of the
School of Industry and Tech-
nology. "He got into class that
dav and discovered that the
device didn't quite meet all of the
OSHA requirements
The situation which OSHA is
trving to prevent happens quite
frequently on an industrial site
when a piece of machinery breaks
and maintenance personnel are
called to repair it.
In one scenario, an electrician
mav come and make sure the
power to the unit is switched off
before starting to crawl inside
the machinery. If a plumber were
to come and see the power is off,
he or she might go to another
part of the machinery and begin
repairs. The electrician finishes
the work and crawls out, turning
the power back on. Being in the
wrong place at the wrong time,
the plumber could be killed or
seriously injured.
The Gobeski "Safety Lockout
Adapter" is an invention which
allows each maintenance worker
to "lock out" the power to the
machinery until all work is done.
The power would remain "locked
out" until all workers had fin-
ished their repairs and removed

"It's so simple Davis said. "1
don't know why no one had in-
vented it yet
Gobeski filed a "Report of In-
vention" with the University
Patent Committee and began
working with Committee Co-
Counsel Greg Hassler, who is also
assistant attorney to the univer-
sity. "It was clearly a novel and
original idea Hassler said of
Gobeski's patent.
The patent was filed in
Gobeski's name, but the univer-
sity retained interest in the patent
as intellectual property � the
usual practice when a university
professor files for a patent which
touches on the area he or she
teaches.
Hassler remembered driving
Gobeski to Raleigh to introduce
the patent i-ea to the state
patent council � the first occa-
sion he had to spend any length
of time with the industrial safety
instructor.
"I clearly recall the way he
made it a point to compliment
me on the fact that I used both
side-view mirrors before chang-
ing lanes on 1-440 Hassler said.
As a matter of fact, we spent most
of the drive talking about the cre-
ative process in inventions � that
was the dominant point in our
dialogue
"I was most impressed with
Dave Hassler said. "I'm guess-
ing he made an incredible teacher.
He was captivating in the pre-
sentation of the patent idea he
made to the patent committee,
and I thought, 'What a wonder-
ful teacher he made
Filing had been a "smooth and
clear process according to
Hassler. Once the patent was
granted, the University Patent
Committee authorized Gobeski

Last vear, about 300 walkers
in Greenville put their best foot
forward in an effort to help stop
local and world-wide hunger.
The walkers participated in
walks that are put on by Church
Rural Overseas Project'(CROP),
an organization that started 25
years ago that is committed to
help stop hunger.
This vear, on Sunday, Octo-
ber 16, at 2:00 p.m there will be
a CROP walk here in Greenville.
The walk will begin and end at
St. Paul's Episcopal Church on
401 E. Fourth Street. The route is
10 kilometers (6.2 miles) long and
will take walkers by different
places, such as the homeless shel-
ter, that are in Greenville.
"The route is designed so that
the walkers can see where their
money is going said Randy
Mavnard, a minister at St. James
United Methodist Church.
"Twenty-five percent ot the
mone thai is raised will be used
here in Pitt County
Last year's participants raised
over $8,000. The walkers were

members of local churches, cam-
pus organizations or sororities
and volunteers that wanted to
do their part to stop hunger. I he
participants signed up through
their churches or organizations
and then proceeded to get spon-

Many people complain about
the condition of the environment
and how it is being misused but
are not willing to do anything
about it. G.A.I.A a new organi-
zation on campus, has decided
to back up words with action.
G.A.I.A. in Greek Mythology
is the goddess of the earth. The
name also serves as an environ-
mental theory which holds that
the earth acts as one big organ-
ism. Dr. Joseph Luczkovich, a
visiting assistant professor in
biologv, suggested the name to
students who were interested in
starting an environmental group.
Major Hooper, a sophomore
communication major, and an-
other student questioned
Luczkovich if there was an envi-
ronmental organization on cam-
pus Luczkovich told them that
there never had been any envi
ronmen'tal group at ECU, so they
took the initiative and decided
to start a group.
G.A.I.A. has only had two
meetings and is still in the for-
mative stages. However, the
group has various ideas includ-
ing recycling, a bike raffle, des-
ignated campus bike lams,
speakers on campus and envi-
ronmentally related trips.
Hooper feels that the earth has
major environmental problems,
and something must be done
now to combat these problems.

Haitian parliament reopens
under U.S. protection
(AP) � Haiti took a hesi-
tant step toward democracy
yesterday when parliament,
shuttered for months, reopens
to debate a proposed amnesty
for the army officers who over-
threw President lean-Bertrand
Aristide.
Amnesty for the bloody
coup and the brutal human
rights abuses that followed
was part of the last-minute
deal between the junta that
seized power three years ago
and an American delegation
led by former President Jimmy
Carter. The Sept. 18 deal fore-
stalled a U.S. invasion.
U.S. troops were to provide
security at parliament as well
as individually for certain
rlamifipc and spn.ifors some
of whom are only now emerg-
ing from hiding in Haiti or
self-imposed exile in the
United States and Canada.
The dominating foreign
military presence is a sensi-
tive issue in this Caribbean
nation proud of being the first
black republic.
Some lawmakers threat-
ened to resign or not to show
up if U.S. troops are posted
inside the legislature.
"There will be no foreign
soldiers within the parliament
building said Frantz-Robert
Monde, president of the 82-
member Chamber of Deputies.
"The security they will give
to legislators will be on the
outside of the building
Sen. Thomas Eddy Dupiton,
who does not plan to attend,
called the U.S. occupation of
Haiti's political institutions a
"provocation
"I once admired the bald
eagle for its grace he said.
"Now I am struck by its ra-
pacity. Thev came to reinforce
our institutions. Now they are
tolling their death
Eleven other senators who
were elected during military-
rule will be barred from the
session.
American diplomats met
Tuesday with Monde and Sen-
ate president Firmin Jean-
Louis to iron out difficulties.
The Americans also posi-
tioned army Humvee jeeps with
machine guns mounted on top
:A the nearby City Hall, where
Mavor Evans Paul is expected
to return this week after nearly
three years in hiding.
Several dozen Haitians gath-
ered outside parliament onTues-
dav to watch the preparations.
Some spoke eloquently in fa-
vor of the proposed amnesty for
police and soldiers who have op-
pressed them with impunity for
years.
"We want a general am-
nesty said Daniel Vallon. "We
don't want vengeance. We want
to start over and go on with our
lives. But the amnesty will be a
favor. (The military leaders)
don't deserve it and they have to
know it
Additional legislation on the
agenda includes the separation
of the police from the armed
forces, its reorganization and re-
training, and putting the police
under civilian command.
Another 142 refugees from
camps at the U.S. Guantanamo
Bay Naval Base in Cuba came
home Tuesday. One, Vilia Picant,
said she came voluntarily but
had mixed feelings about return-
ing.
"I spent all my savings, $60,
to leave and now we'll have to
start all over said the young
woman, who is seven months
pregnant and had her 2-year-old
son by her side.
From exile in the United
States, Aristide appeared on tele-
vision Tuesday night and urged
Haitians to move peacefully to-
ward democracy.
"Since last week, I have seen
how happy you are to welcome
the American soldiers he said
on the U.S. military-run Tele
Demokrasi. "I, too, am happy to
see how they are helping us es-
tablish security for all without
distinction
He also urged his countrymen
to support the money-for-guns
program, which began Tuesday
and under which U.S. forces are
offering up to $300 for each fire-
arm turned in.
"Violence doesn't lead to de-
mocracy. Vengeance is a poison
for democracy Aristide said.
"When you talk, sing and dance,
avoid slipping into disorder
he cautioned, warning against
"traps set by the enemies of de-
mocracy
Under terms of the Sept. 18
agreement, army chief Lt. Gen.
Raoul Cedras must step down
by Oct. 15, along with fellow
coup leader and army chief-of-
staff Brig. Gen. Philippe Biamby
and police chief Lt. Col. Michel
Francois. Then Aristide will re-

Q-ta
(AP) � Rescuers searched in
high winds and choppy seas tor
survivors of an Estonian ferry that
capsized and sank Wednesday
morning with about 850 people
aboard. Must were missing and
feared dead.
Only about 90 people had been
rescued from the 54-degree water
seven hours after the ferry Esto-
nia sank in the Baltic Sea, Finnish
authorities said. They said rescue
workers found bodies, but de-
clined to say how many.
The sinking threatened to be-
come one of the worst passenger
ship disasters in recent years.
"We saw about 40 life rafts
said Swedish rescue helicopter pi-
lot Stefan Carneros. "Unfortu-
nately, most of them were empty
He said waves in the area were up
to 20 feet high.
Stormy seas and winds topping
56 mph were hindering rescue op-
erations near the site of the disas-
ter, about 23 miles from the Finn-
ish island of Uto off the country's
southwestern coast.
There was no immediate ex-
planation of what caused the 515-
foot Estonia to capsize.
"A vessel of this size should
have no problem in these winds
Finnish maritime inspector Esa
Saari said in the Finnish port of
Turku, the base for rescue efforts.
But news reports speculated
that trucks and cars on board may
have broken loose in the storm,
and that their shifting weight
caused the vessel to capsize. A
spokesman for the ship's owners
toid Estonian radio that authori-
ties believe both engines stopped
iimultaneously, leaving the ferry
vulnrable to the strong wind and
high waves.
Estonian authorities said the
ship's final radio message was:
"We are sinking! The engines
have stopped I"
Ships and helicopters from
Finland and Sweden were at the
scene. Estonian authorities were
sending rescue crews. At least
five other passenger ferries also
were trying to find victims in the
stormy, dark waters.
The Estonia sank sometime af-
ter midnight. The ferry sent out a
distress signal before it went
down. Some news reports said
the ship sank in five minutes,
while others put the time at
closer to 30 minutes.
"I v.oke up as the ship was
heavily tilted to the left one of
the survivors, Neeme Kaik, told
radio station KUKU in Estonia.
"There were huge waves. I got
dressed as fast as I could. I ran
out of my cabin to the deck to
see what was going on. There
was no message on the loud-
speaker about what had hap-
pened

RECYCLE
Continued from page 2
2,410,730 pounds of demolition
debris. Also, 824,000 pounds of
wood collected was donated to
the city of Greenville for fire
wood.
Hudson said that in a study
she had read in a recycling re-
source magazine, college students
living on campus generate an
average of 820 pounds per per-
son per year. This included what
the students threw away and the
resources used for students such
as test papers and food prepara-
tion wrappers.
Hudson said that students could
also use off-campus drop-off sites
like the one on Stantonburg Road
to recycle items like car batteries,
large and small appliances and
even clothing and shoes which are
sent to Goodwill. She also said
that Greenville's Public Works De-
partment has a drop off area at
1500 Beatty Street just off west 14th
Street which is opened from 7:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
Armistead and Hudson both
want to encourage students to use
the drop-off sites and to use them
correctly.
"Students need to do more and
be more responsible Armistead
said. "We can recycle anything
that they have recycled at home
"We always need people to
help spread the word about how
important recycling is Hudson
said. "The best thing people can
do to help to recycle is to do it
right. Find out what is recyclable
in your area, or we won't find a
market for it and it will end up in
the landfill

Creative thought was a trade-
mark for Gobeski, according to
Davis. "I leard of an incident
where Assistant Vice-Chancel-
lor George Harrell was having
problems locating underground
PVC plastic pipe across cam-
pus Davis said.
Before construction workers
can tear up a plot of ground, a
metal-detector must be used to
locate the i nderground pipes for
water, sewer, gas, electricity and
communications. The problem
comes whin the pipes are made
of PVC, which will not register
on a metal detector.
"Dave was a quick thinker, and
light on his feet Davis said.
Gobeski had the i nsight to sug-
gest to Hrrell that instead of
looking ft r where the plastic
"was to use -everse logic and
look for where the ground "was
not according to Davis. Gobeski
proposed that a detector could
be created to discern between
solid grour d and ground that had
a large potket of something else
� namely, plastic andor air.
Hassler suggested that it was
this kind of everyday, innovative
thinking in Gobeski that caught
on to somt of the rest of the fac-
ulty, and soon more "Reports of
Invention" were coming before
ECU's University Patent Com-
mittee. In the recent wave of fac-
ulty inventions, though, most
"Reports of Invention" have
come from the ECU medical fac-
ulty. Since Gobeski's patent was
granted in December 1992,
Hassler is aware cf at least one
other patent which has been
granted to an ECU faculty mem-
ber, though several other inven-

Parents' Weekend evokes memories
This Friday once again brings around
that annual event known as Parents'
Weekend � that yearly excuse for the
university to make more money from the
people who make a college education
possible for most of us. (Come to think of it,
isn't the whole idea of having a "Parents'
Weekend" unspeakably cruel to orphans?)
Seriously though, this weekend is a great
excuse for parents to come visit their
homesick offspring. By this time of year
most of us are only too glad to forget about
classes, books and test and see our families
again.
Parents' Weekend brings back those
bittersweet memories we all have of open
house at elementary school. We all
remember those. Our parents got to meet all
of our teachers and hear stories about how
we had been behaving.
It also marked the first time that we
knew more about something than our
parents. For the first time, we were the ones
showing them around, pointing out the
various landmarks at school, like the gym,
cafeteria, etc.
We say these memories are bittersweet,
because relationships with parents are
always complicated, especially as we get
older. When we are away from them, like
when we go away to college, it is always
great to see them again. Spending time with
the family brings great happiness
(usually).
However, we are at the same time
slightly embarrassed. Dad always seems
to tell some silly joke around our friends,
or Mom will tell some horrible story about
something we did long ago in our
childhoods.
A perfect example of this will be seen
this Saturday at the stadium. When it
comes time for the game, do you sit with
your family or do you sit with your
friends?
One thing that the university could do
to improve Parents' Weekend would be to
extend it to include the following Monday
and Tuesday. That way parents could get
a real feel for how our lives are going. It
would give a much more accurate picture.
Plus, since the food is always better in the
dining halls when parents are around,
even those whose parents cannot come
would gain some added benefit.
So, remember this weekend that we
will be having guests to our campus. Let's
all be on our best behavior so that we will
make a good impression. (We're starting
to sound like parents here at TEC � aren't
we?)And regardless of with whom you
sit, let's all go out and support our Pirates
as they take on the Golden Eagles of
Southern Miss. Go Pirates!

Men with emotions needed by society
By Angela McCullers
Marion Barry does not deserve second chance
I am sort of stuck between
feeling shocked and not surprised
at the candidacy of former DC.
Mayor Marion Barry. It now looks
li ke he is a very popular cand ida te
to refill his former position, that is,
after spending six months in
prison for smoking crack on
national television.
But first, before I possibly step
into some deep doo-doo by writing
this article, let me ask you a
question. If you were on the job
somewhere, and your boss walked
in and caught you smoking�
some crack, do you think you
would keep that job much
longer, not to mention reapply
and get the job again? Only in
politics, brothers and sisters,
only in politics.
Now, I realize he was not
literally "on the job" when this
happened. But still, would you
want even one of your local
police officers to smoke crack
on his time off, not to mention
the mayor of the capital of your
country? I am one of those who
cannot help but feel that people
who hold higher offices should
live somewhat more exemplary
lives, if only because their's will
be more closely observed by the
rest of us.
However, the point is not so
much what he has already done,
which even I can forgive (although
I still sure as hell would not vote
for him again). It is what he is
doing now. Like many other
people, I find it highly
questionable.
Mr. Barry was quoted as
saying that all the people who feel
the way that I do should just get
over their hang-ups. I don't know,
I'm just having kind of a hard time
getting over it I guess. I was
shocked when I watched the now-
famous clip of Mayor Barry toking-
up, and what I believe was an
undercover prostitute in the room
with him.
I was thinking, "Gosh, that
really makes America look
wonderful, to have the mayor of
our capital city doing this in front
of all of us, not to mention other
countries that I am sure got a laugh
out of it The sad thirg is that
now I'm not really shocked at all
at the present situation. As a matter
of fact, it all makes a little sense if
you look at it a certain way.
if Barry truly is a
born-again Christian,
he should find some
other way, one more
in sync with the
teachings of the Bible
to help those he
wishes to help.
Barry is of course playing the
race card. Doesn't that make sense?
He says that he represents the
people who are severely
underrepresented by the present
administration, which I do not
doubt.
The poor, middle class and
the black population of DC. (that
makes up 70 percent of the entire
population of the city) are falling
in behind him because he is
someone to whom they can relate.
He has been held down and come
back from adversity. He is not
afraid to fight his way back and
represent the people that helped
him do it and believed in him.
I believe the poor and middle
class need this type of
representation, someone to be
B y Patrick Hinson
their voice and who will stop
catering to the rich. It is just that I
cannot help doubting if Marion
Barry is that person or if he is just
another politician taking
advantage of whatever tools he
has at hand to win back the power
he lost.
Another somewhat
disturbing aspect of his campaign
is the "born again" part. It is
certainly not that I doubt people
can be born again in the Christian
sense. I just wonder if Barry really
� is, or is he just using that as
another political tool. Shame on
him if he is.
Only a politician would have
the gall to fake something like
that, to use the Christianity front
to achieve their personal gains. I
think Barry severely failed his
job as mayor of DC and if he
truly is a born-again Christian,
he should find some other way,
one more in sync with the
teachings of the Bible (which says
a rich man cannot enter the
kingdom of Heaven) to help those
.he wishes to help.
Maybe I should be sorry for
feeling this way, but I just think
the fact that Barry is where is, that
he has used all these people to get
him where he now is � poised to
possibly retake the job as mayor
of DC. � is just one more sad
testament to the state of our nation
and to the nature of what politics
have become, namely marketing
and self promotion.
That we might elect a former
convict and crack addict who has
already abused our trust in front
of our very eyes, lest there be any
doubt, to the seat of mayor of our
capital city, is just a sad example
of how far we have gone looking
for what we hope are the right
leaders at a time when America
surely needs them.
In our society, some men feel
they should display a macho-type
image. Society trains men not to
hugand kiss one another. Hugging
and letting go emotionally can ease
internal pain of which men often
are ashamed or unwilling to admit
feeling.
These attitudes stem from
growing up in a homophobic
society where men are inundated
with pro-macho models for male
behavior. A number of men
perpetuate male stereotypes. Men
rarely discuss emotional or
personal conversations about sex,
love, insecurities, pain and loss.
According to society's rule,
men should display this macho-
type image at all times, in order to
prove their manhood. Men who
reveal emotions are classified as
"weak They give up very
important sides of themselves to
be accepted by society. In doing
so, a man will not be able to fulfill
his potential, not just as males, but
as human beings.
A great deal of people think
men are insensitive. Some women
say they want a man who
possesses sensitivity � someone
who talks, shares his feelings and
does not display a macho image.
Realistically, a few women
cannot deal with the surprises
challenges and changes that comes
along with this wish. They are not
ready, willing or able to handle a
sensitive man. Women should
realize they have spent a lot of
years with men who were
insensitive. They count on this
characteristic as "typical" for men.
Society views men as being
emotionally inferior to women.
Mothers tell their young sons, "Big
boys don't cry Society helps to
enforce this rule by saying a "real
man" can not act emotionally hurt
at any time. When it comes to
intense feelings, it seems much
easier for women to see men as
inferiors, not equals, with regards
to emotional feelings.
In many cases, a man does not
have a chance. He simply lives up
to women's low expectations of
him, because the women do not
give him a chance or time to let the
his high potentials shine.
Everyone has feelings and we
should keep this in mind. In our
society, men are viewed as macho,
insensitive and emotionally
inferior to women. Too many men
feel pain, but they do not articulate
it.
Casualties do not talk about
failure. They hate themselves
because of it. They act it out, smoke
it out or drink it out, but they will
not talk about it � they want to
appear "strong
Should we wonder why some
men are closed-mouthed and
dishonest when it comes to
women? Yes, we should. Why risk
being rejected, dismissed or
appearing unmanly if it can all be
avoided by reverting to a macho
type image, keeping a stiff upper
lip and lying.
Men have to sacrifice their
male ego in order to communicate
with other men on deeper levels.
Instead, men silently suffer; they
hold back the feelings that they
harbor within their hearts, souls
and minds.
Stereotypes cheat men of
possibilities that are sure to keep
other people from getting to know
them for who they really are:
individuals with their own
distinctive personalities and
emotions.
Society's preconceived
notions of how a "real man"
behaves makes us try to put people
in boxes that are of our own
making. When they do not fit the
boxes that we adroitly designed
for them, we prefer to penalize
them rather than change our
thinking. Society needs to see men
from an introspective way. We
should help instead of criticize.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
Parking cars is not the only traffic problem on this
campus. When will the administration address the
traffic needs of bicycles and pedestrians on and around
campus? Are we not planning to become a "Pedestrian
Campus" in the next few years? Does the university
not realize that East Carolina's traffic problems affect
not only the students, professors and faculty but also
the area residents and businesses?
More students are commuting to campus on
bicycles this term since student parking lots have been
eliminated or changed to staff lots. Parking and riding
bicycles on this campus is a serious problem. Students
have resorted to locking their bicycles to trees, signs,
stair rails and leaving them on the ground praying
that their modes of transportation are not stolen during
their class time. Riding a bicycle on campus is just as
dangerous as riding a bicycle on Greenville Boulevard
Why do we not have bike paths on campus?
When will the safety of pedestrian students
become an intense issue? Are traffic lights and
pedestrians heads (cross walking lights) an issue for
the city or for East Carolina? Why do we not have a
traffic light and pedestrian head at the intersection of
BusbeeStreetandFifthStreet and at the intersection
of Founders Drive and Fifth Street?
A pedestrian head is needed at the intersection of
10th and Elm Street desperately
My last question is "Why should a student have to
ask these questions regarding the safety of students;
should not these questions already be answered by a
university official?" The university itself should
insure sic students' safety before they undertake
major additions or renovations to the university
campus.

Editor's note: Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Layton Getsinger told TEC that 20 new bike racks
are currently on order, and the physical plant is providing enough racks to accommodate 100 bikes.
To the Editor:
Once again, in the time honored tradition of
NorthCarolina smoke-filled room politics, the inept
ECU elections board has destroyed its credibility
with the students of this fine university. The very
idea of postponing an election 48 hours before it
takes place reeks of corruption and scandal from
the top down. Having been a long (too long) time
observer of SG A on down (Ian Eastman appears to
be clean � good for you, Ian) stopped the election
so that Troy Dreyfus could gather his wits (which
only took up a minute of his time) and scrape
together a campaign in order for him to defeat his
opponent. Incidentally, Troy is slated to graduate
in December, thus if elected he will be just another
lame duck (in the proud tradition of Herbert Hoover,
George Bush and other powerless, wimpy
presidents). The senior class of East Carolina
University deserves better than another "Resume
President" and definitely deserves better than one
drafted by the vice-president of the SG A. Quit being
sheep. Civil disobedience is your birthright. Fight
the power that keeps the power away from the
student body, and vote Bill Gheen for Senior Class
President.

Some stand-out songs tor lla
were "A Little Murder" (a cov er
tune they handled very well),

favorite song of their set, a short
version of "The Pancreas Song
Another highlight of the show

by a mysterious musician

Van Damme proves
star power in Timecop
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
With his newest action ad-
venture movie, Timecop, lean
Claude Van Damme tries to
make his mark as a bona fide
actor capable of carrying a big-
budget motion picture. Van
Damme still uses the kickboxing
techniques which made him a
hero with many teenagers, but
with his latest film he also shows
a more passionate and humor-
ous side.
He has even matured to the

point where he is capable of pok-
ing tun at himself. In one of the
early scenes, after stopping a
purse snatcher, Van Damme's
character, Max Walker, claims
that the assailant must have read
hi mind because the crook
hightails it away from him.
Walker's wife Melissa (played
with restrained loveliness by
Mia Sara), gives him a smirk
and savs, "With your English,
he'd have to Van Damme's
willingness to admit his short-
comings may signal that he has
the proper attitude to make the
transition into bigger Holly-
wood productions.
In Timecop, Van Damme finds
himself in an inferior Termina-
tor movie. Walker is a cop se-
lected to police the past because
time travel has finally become
possible in the year 1994. An
inventor has found the kev tor
traveling into the past but with
his invention has also created a
potential weapon that evil forces
could use to change the present
bv altering the past.
Timecopopens in the year 1863
in Gainesville, Georgia where a
Confederate troop of soldiers
carries gold bouillon with them.
A man who stops the troop pulls
out a machine gun and proceeds
to kill the entire patrol.
The scene then flashes to
Washington, DC. in the year
1994, where the Senate Over-
sight Committee has the pro-
posal to institute a lime Enforce-
ment Commission (TEC) before
them. The TEC would patrol the
past to arrest any time-travel-
ing villains.

Spin Doctors lose a
patient at the Creek
Quenton Pickup
Staff Writer
Thousands of rain-soaked fens
came out last Ihursda night tor a
three-band concert with the Spin
Doctors headlining. Walnut Creek
dimmed the lights about 6:30 Satur-
day evening and Cracker took the
stage.
It was evident that Cracker has
not let their recentsuccess goto their
heads Cracker frontman, I avid
1 owery, led the band through nu-
merous tunes off bom Kerosem I hit
and C racker. I here was no extensive
light show or stage set, u.st a tal-
ented and tight band that played
loud and hard tor a little over an
hour. Much of the crowd had not
shown up for the early start but
filtered into the amphitheatre
steadily throughout Cracker's set
Next up on the list were the Gin
Blossoms. Without a doubt, the Blos-
�-omsvverethesurpnseoftheevening.
These VH-1 icons disposed the myth
that they were just a one-hit wonder
with their hit "Hey Jealousy
Through numerous guitar solos and
ingenious improvisations, the Gin
Blossoms proved themselves well
against their fellow bands, surpass-
ing the Spin Doctors. The Gin Blos-
soms were joined by Chris Bacon,
Spin Doctors' lead singer, fora couple
of songs. It seemed as if the crowd
wanted him to get off so the Blos-
soms could crank out some more of
their abrasive-styled music.
The Spin Doctors came on stage
around 9:30 to an excited and enthu-
siastic crowd. It's too bad they had
niin the fun everyone was having by
playing. Bland and obnoxious are
good words to describe the Spin
Doctors show Saturday nigh
Bland fits because of the stage presj
ence and lack of enthusiasm that
they gave back to the ram-soaked
and patient audience. A person
can only take so much of a bearded,
leotard-wearing wanna-be bounc-
ing around the stage.
Monotony played its part in the
show the same way it does on
every album thev put out You'd
think it would be easy to put out a
10-song album that didn't sound
repetitive the whole way through,
butevidenilv that's extremelv dif-
ficult for The Spin Doctors. If you
were dancing to them, you didn't
even need to stop in between songs
because it ail would start up on the
same rhythm in the next song
it would be safe to say this tour

Track twins make impact in first season
Jody Jones
Staff Writer
While some people run because
of the health benefits it provides,
others do so just to relax. Still,
there are those who run simply for
the love of it. Dava and Tara
Rhodes are among those who just
love it, and since coming to East
Carolina from Mechanicsburg, Pa
they have taken Women's Cross
Country and Track a step higher.
In high school, both were All-
State runners, but not as highly
recruited as some of the runners
thev competed against. So what
attracted them to ECU? "Location
and coaching. We really wanted to
come south. It just feels really
good Dava said.
"It just clicked. It was like I
pictured it, and the people were
really nice Tara said.
Head Coach Charles "Choo"
Justice feels really good about
having Dava and Tara here. He
called them the two hardest
working athletes he had ever
seen. "They bring a great work
ethic to the team. They are lead-
ers by example Justice said.
Since they were not recruited
very much out of high school,
expectations were not that great.
"Thev have already passed my
expectations. I just hope they
continue to improve he said.
Dava was named the 1993
CAA Rookie of the Year, as well
as ECU's Women's Cross Coun-
trv team Most Valuable Runner,
All-CAA, and the All-East team
in '94. She now holds the school
record in the 10,000 meter with a
time of 35:10. She finished first
in two meets during the '93 sea-
son. Add becoming ECU's first
female track qualifier for the
NCAA and the first ever female
track All-American, and you get
a pretty good first year of run-
ning.
Tara was also a member of the
'94 All-East squad and ECU's
Most Outstanding Freshman in
'93.
Dava and Tara have been run-
ning cross countrytrack since
the 9th grade. Dava said run-
ning for her is "like a snowball
She has been running for so long
that now it is just something she
does. "It is more of a love
hate relationship. I am glad to
have a day off, but I would
hate for somebody to tell me I
could not run Tara said.
When they are running a
race, they each have one thing
in mind � getting a good time.
"Winning is great, but I would
rather get a good time Dava
said.
Each has different goals. Al-
though thev are both currently-
majoring in Elementary Edu-
cation, their running goals are
different. Dava wants to be an
All-American again, while Tara
just wants the satisfaction ot
getting better. Their desire and
determination are sure to help
them to achieve their goals.

Atkinson shows leadership on tennis team
Drew Gatlin
Staff Writer
On any given afternoon, the ECU
tennis courts are filled with voices
varying from sharp New England
accents to laid-back Southern
drawls, and most likely in their midst
is the distinct English accent of Ben
Atkinson with the ECU men's ten-
nis team.
A native of Sheffield, England,
Atkinson is a senior with a double-
major in communications and En-
glish, specializing in public relations
and writing. Being a double-major
can be hectic enough, but Ben is also
co-captain of the tennis team.
The obvious question people
want to know is, how did he find
Greenville?
"My last year of high school in
England, I was interested in pursu-
ing studies overseas Atkinsonsaid.
"I played several tournaments at
home and did well enough to get
the opportunity to be approached
by some coaches from overseas
Though ECU was not one of the
schools courting Atkinson in high
school, a " friend of a friend " created
contact between Atkinson and the
Pirate men's head tennis coach, Bill
Moore.
"Theprogram sounded like what
I was looking for Atkinson said.
"The emphasis was more on com-
peting, rather than a win-loss sort of
thing. Coach Moore placed a high
emphasis on academics, which was
my primary reason for coming to a
university
"First of all, you have to under-
stand that it's a very select popula-
tion of kids who are willing to leave
their country, not knowing anybody
and come here to the States Coach
Moore said. "They realize that it's
going to be a long time before they
see home again; It's going to be very
different
Atkinson found that adjusting to
the American lifestyle was not as
radical as one would ordinarily sup-
pose. To begin with, he still has the
busy scheduleof academics andath-
letics.
"Food is a major adjustment for
most of these international kids
Moore said. "Tea, crumpets, what-
ever �we don't have that. That's an
immediate adjustmentfor them. But
at the same time, it's a tremendous
opportunity for them
A major reason for Atkinson's
desire to study abroad is that inGreat
Britain, one cannot do both academ-
ics and athletics on the collegiate
level.
"Either 'go pro which I wasn't
good enough at the time, or go to a
university Atkinson said. "East
Carolina gave me the opportunity to
doboth.Atthe university athomeI
would have had a lot of time on my
hands. But here, balancing academ-
ics and athletics, I don't even have a
minute to spare
"It's been quite hard, adjusting to
the academics Atkinsonsaid. "The
first two years of 'general college' �
I dropped those subjects when I was
15 or 16
At that age, British education al-
lows students to move into more
specialized fields of study, so it has
been a few years since Ben has seen
core curriculum subjects like math
or foreign language.
"One thing that's made my ad-
justment here so good has been the
hospitality � everyone in the area,
plus the assistance I've received from
the coaches, other players, athletes
Atkinson said. "Basically, everyone
on campus. People go out of their
way to help you. It's been a positive
experience
Those who spend time with
Atkinson agree that he returns that
positiveattitudeto those he isaround.
"One of the things which very
much impresses me about Ben is his
strength of character Moore said.
"He's got good perspective, and a
tremendous role model, I consider,
for kids
"This year, I hope that he's able to
teach some of these guys some pa-
tience Moore said. "As freshmen,
they're going to get very frustrated,
because they're going to lose a lot.
Ben's been there. He's lost a lot. In his
four years here, he's been through
the battles, and he's struggled with
his gameand the freshmen are go-
ing to go through that. He's going to
have a tremendous potential to help
these kids when they start strug-
gg"
"The things I learned my fresh-
man year, 1 can also see them learn-
ing the same way I did Atkinson
said. "Things like time management,
self-discipline, communicating with
others on-court and off-court �
there's a lot of things that they're
learning quickly
Leadership is an important qual-
ity in a senior a thlete, and Atkinson is
a strong example of this quality, ac-
cording to Coach Moore.
" Whenyou'retalkingabouta 'peer
leader who is different than a coach
orassistantcoach, they have the great-
est potential to influence other play-
ers Moore said. "A lot of people
talkabout-headcoachingleadership,
but I'm telling you, in terms of really
getting people 'on the same page
day-in and day-out at practice, it's
the peer leaders who are in the place
to influence the kids the most. They
see the players off the court, they
see them downtown, they know
what's going on. A lot of times,
coaches don't know a lot compared
to what the peers know
"I think the biggest thing with
Ben, in terms of qualities, is that he's
Photo Courtesy of ECU SID
incredibly honest'Moore said. "He
takes care, in terms of 'showing by
example he takes care of all the
details. He goes to class; he's at
practice. You never have to worry
about whether he's putting out the
most effort � he always puts out
"The other part of it is that he
stays on the kids as well Moore

NC Central football
player dies suddenly
(AP) � A North Carolina Cen-
tral University football pla yerdied
Tuesday after telling friends with
whom he was talking on campus
that he did not feel well.
Al Carpenter and several team-
mates had just finished a class and
were talking to the head of the
school's criminal justice depart-
ment about their plans when Car-
penter sa i d he was not feel i ng well.
Carpenter lav down on the floor,
and emergency medical person-
nel were summoned.
"The last thing he told me was
that he would be all right said
teammate Charles Patterson, a
defensive back.
Carpenter was pronounced
dead at Duke University Medical
Center at 3:51 p.m.
"I thought when we put him in
the ambulance, he'd be OK said
George Wilson, chairman of the
Criminal Justice Department.
"He was talking and answering
questions
Carpenter'scauseof death had
not been determined Tuesday
night, but Wilson and others be-
lieve a blood clot caused by a
broken foot suffered on the foot-
ball field went to his brain and
caused a stroke. Carpenter's
body was sent to the state medi-
cal examiner's office in Chapel
Hill for an autopsy.
Carpenter started at left guard
for the Eagles during the 1993
season and moved to center this
year.
Football coach Larry Little
called his players together Tues-
day, told them of Carpenter's
death, called for a silent prayer
and dismissed practice.

College coach suspended
(AD � Johnson C. Smith head
football coach Ray Lee was sus-
pended by the university Mon-
day, school officials said.
Lee will be suspended indefi

Dorothv Cowser Yancy conducts
an internal investigation to find
out it he used an ineligible player

Randy Bethel, a Bulls assis

hmtor Golden Eagles (2-2)
come to town alter hav-
ing their wings clipped by Texas
A&M, 41-17. A win for the Pirates
would place them in a tie for first place
in the Liberty Bowl Alliance, but a loss
would put them a game-and-a-half out
of the top spot.
Last time these two squads met,
USM rallied from a 10-3 third-quarter
deficit, winning 24-16 in Hattiesburg,
Miss. ECU held the Eagles to just 168
total offensive yards, but the Pirates
had three interceptions, two fumbles
and 92 penalty yards working against
them.
In 1994, USM has beaten Tulane
(25-10) and Memphis (20-3). Both op-
ponents are Liberty Bowl alliance
members. Their two losses have come
against Texas A&M and Virginia Tech
(24-14).
This year's defensive unit has
drastically improved their statistics
from a season ago. The unit, led by
preseason All-American DT Michael
Tobias (6-3, 275). has allowed just
19.5 points per game (down from 28.3)
and gives up an average of just 151
passing yards (down from 268.6).
LB Eugene Harmon (6-0. 220)
leads the squad with 45 tackles, while
DE Robert Brown (6-2, 245) is well
on his way to becoming USM's all-
lime single-season sack leader. He
has six through the Golden Eagles
first four games, and the record is just
ten (Chris Jackson 1983).
USM is also plus nine in the
takeaway-turnover category, much
better than their ratio of minus eight
a season ago.
FS L.T. Gulley (5-11, 185) is
tied with Tobias for second on the
team in tackles with 31, and leads
the Golden Eagles with 3 intercep-
tions
On offense, junior Chris
Buckhalter (6-0, 180) has averaged
just under 90 rushing yards a game
this year, after totalling just 212 dur-
ing all of 1993.
FB Howard McGee has added
160 yards on just 20 carries, but 60
of those yards came on one run. Both
backs have the ability to explode out
of the backfield.
Senior Tommy Waters (6-1.210)
lines up under center for USM, and
will come to Greenville after totalling
587 passing yards and 5 TDs through
the first four games. However, he has
thrown 4 INT's already.
Waters' main targets this year
have been WRs Mark Montgomery
and Fred Brock. Montgomery (6-1,
180) has 16 receptions for 176 yards
so far, while Brock (5-10, 175) has 8
receptions for 120 yards and 2 TDs.
On special teams, punter Chris
Courtew nf Southern Miv. SID
Fred Brock has been the big-play WR
for QB Tony Waters and USM this year
Pierce (5-1 i, 190) has averaged 37.5
yards on 31 punts, with his longest punt
traveling 50 yards.
However. PK Johnny Lomoro is
just 2 of 7 on field goal attempts, and
is in danger of losing his position to
Pierce.
The Golden Eagles have worked
out their rebuilding problems from a
year ago, and will bring their newfound
confidence to Greenville on Saturday.
The Pirates will have to be ready, be-
cause USM has scored 40 percent of
their 1994 point total in the first quar-

,1,m,R tinned in the same
breath as one of the greatest run-
ning backs to ever play here. He is
a living legend of Greenville. He's
attended school here, raised a fam-
ily here, watched his own name-
sake mature into an NFL tight end.
and helped other people at ECl all
along the way. In everything he
does, class and pride shine through.
Now. as Grumpier is watch-
ing senior running hack Junior
Smith inch closer and closer to
breaking his all-time career rush-
ing record here at ECU, he remem-
bers back to his glory days from
over two decades ago. when
Crumpler was making history on
the gridiron of Ficklen Stadium.
"1 never really thought about
the record as 1 was approaching it
Crumpler said. "Yet. I had never
even thought about it until a few
years ago about how long it has
stood. 1 guess that I accomplished
more than I thought 1 had at the
period of time which ! did it. I'm
real honored that its held so long.
It's a thing of pride and when your
trying to accomplish something
you do the best that you can, and
to know that standard has stayed
for nearly twenty years, its got to
be an honor and I'm really proud
of it
A member of the ECU Ath-
letics Hall of Fame, his perfor-
mance on the field during the
1971-1973 seasons earned him
respect nationwide. He was an
Honorable Mention AH-American
in 1972 and 1973. He was voted
Southern Conference Athlete of
the year in 1972. Crump made the
All-State team two years and
played in the Blue-Gra All-Star
Classic in 1973. He would go on
to be a fourth round draft choice
bv the Buffalo Bills.
His name on the rushing
records here at FCC dominate the
pack. Not only is he the current
career rushing leader with 2,889
vards. he is the career carries leader
with 658. In 1972 alone. Crump
carried the ball 340 times. He's the
touchdown leader of ECU. with 37.
His 1.042 yards his senior year is
the most ever for a senior Pirate. His
career average of 90.3 yards per
game is the highest in school his-
tory. In 1972, Crumpler had a
school record six consecutive 100
yard games. He would go on to have
nine that season, and left ECU with
a record 14 one hundred yards or
more rushing games in his career.
With Smith just 41 yards away
from breaking the career rushing
record, Crumpler reflects on him
both as a person and a player break-

"I've been a person � and I
don't want to sound cocky about it.
� but a person of character and one
who wanted to represent my family

think that anyone fhat'sthinks that
way, that they'd have the same kind
of values. Junior Smith has that. He's
a Christian, he works hard. Every-
body always told him he was too

Hart instills changes to better Pirate athletics
Dave Hart Jr ECU's Direc-
tor of Athletics, has to meet many
criteria for his job.
I By Warren He has to have or-
SlMNER i 1,11
Istaffwri.hr gamzational skills,
the ability to make
tough decisions and the integrity
to run his program. But one qual-
ity that is important for Hart is pa-
tience.
It is common knowledge that
ECU is not exactly high on the to-
tem pole of athletic budgets. ECU
is a proverbial small in the big
pond of Division i athletic pro-
grams. Hart and his administra-
tion are forced to work harder for
fund-raising, obtaining confer-
ence affiliations and public rela-
tions in order to improve his pro-
gram on the national level.
This hard work has brought
Hart respect on this level, and he
has been courted to leave ECU by
a number of larger schools, most
recently Maryland. Hart has de-
cided to stay with the Pirates to
see through some of the renova-
tions that he has brought about in
his tenure. However, he makes no
suggestions that the decision he
made was an easy one.
"Sure, when opportunities
arise, you have to look at them
Hart said. "It would be not telling
the truth to say that it wasn't a
tough decision. I've been here for
twelve years, so I don't feel that I
have to defend my loyalty to
ECU. I've never sought another
job, I have always been ap-
proached. Yes. the situation at
Maryland warranted a hard look,
but I still feel extremely excited
about the commitment we've
made here at ECU
Hart said that one major fac-
tor in his decision to stay is the
prospect of conference affiliation
for the football program. He said
that the process of ECU's possible
entry into the Metro conference
is being slowed at the presiden-
tial level by the institutions cur-
rently in the fold of the affiliation.
'Our position has not football game with N.C. State. The

proposal is that by the game

have a stadium sized to accom-
modate 50,000, so there would
be no viable argument for them
not to play here
Hart is optimistic about
ECU's athletic future, and saj s
he has cause to be. Hart said that
some proposals made for the
program 11 years ago have be-
come realities and that they
seemed just as impossible to
meet as the ones set for the pro-
gram now
"We have a comprehenshe
non-revenue sports program,
with 19 intercollegiate sports
teams we are very proud of. We
have enhanced women's sports.
All these goals have been tough
and are ongoing. But we've
come a long way
Hart said he is particularly
grateful towards the ECU stu-
dent body for providing the level
of support they have shown dur-
ing his tenure.
"I can't name another stu-
dent body in the nation that
shows the level of support ours
does during football season. As
long as I have been here, the stu-
dents have been that way, and its
just great. Now, we need to get
the students just as supportive of
basketball
"To try to show our appre-
ciation to the students for that
support, when the renovation to
Minges is complete, the entire
downstairs section of the facil-
ity will be for students Hart
said. "We arc going to try to go
through IFC and some of the
other student groups on campus
to try to get the suidents out in

our experience with student fans

School, deep in the hotbed that is
Florida high school football. Ev-
ery year blue-chip athletes come
out of the hot Florida sun to ma-
triculate at big-time football
schools all over the country.
This type of stiff competition
is what breeds top athletes, espe-
cially at the skill positions. The
weather allows for yearlong train-
ing in outdoor sports like track and
field and football. Henry thrived
in this competitive atmosphere.
w inning the state championship in
the 400 meters, and he made the
All-Blowhard County team in his
senior year while rushing for over
800 yards.
He showed his versatility by
playing free safety, cornerback,
running back, wide receiver, and
kick returner. This blend of speed
and versatility that attracted col-
lege recruiters and. ultimately,
brought Henry to ECU.
Unlike most of ECU's foot-
ball players, Dwight Henry partici-
pates in two sports. Last year, dur-
ing his freshman season, he let-
tered in both football and track. He
enjoyed a great deal of success in
both starting seven games and fin-
ishing with 41 total tackles, in-
cluding 29 solos
He also made one tackle tor
a loss and deflected two passes.
In track, he won the 400 meters

fense, a fact proven
by Dallas' Jay
Novacek or
Pittsburgh's Eric
Green. After backing up Carlester
Crumpler, Jr. for the last two sea-
sons, Dwight Linville is ready and
willing to take over and man the
position for the Pirates.
Through the first three games
of this season, the Winston-Salem
native has already matched last
year's statistics. In 1993. Linville
collected three receptions for 36
yards. In the two Pirate road games
against Temple and Duke, he has
totalled four catches for 35 yards.
" I want to play a full four
quarters when I am one hundred
percent healthy he said. "Then I
will help the team become better
Linville was unable to play in
Saturday's home opener against the
Orangemen of Syracuse because of
a separated shoulder suffered in the
Pirates' win at Temple.
"After I made the reception. I
was tackled and my shoulder hit
the turf at a bad angle Linville
said. "Watching from the bench I
felt helpless. I wanted to go in the
game and help out
However, Linville will be in
the lineup for the purple and gold
when they square off with fellow
Liberty Bowl Alliance-member
Southern Mississippi.
"I feel I could have played
Saturday against Syracuse he
said, "However, the coaches didn't
want me to injury myself again. It's blocking and receiving he said
better to come back at one hundred "The tight end possesses a key role
percent
When
Linville dons his
jersey Saturday, he
will be ready to
make things hap-
pen, and plans on
using both his size
jf
and his speed to his
advantage.
"I consider
myself as a re-
ceiver he said. "I
try to run my routes
perfectly, so that I
can become a
weapon in the of-
fense
As a wide receiver in high
school, Linville used his speed to
amass 41 catches for 912 yards in
his last two seasons at North Forsyth
High School. Now, he deftly de-
ceives linebackers with that same
quickness (4.95-40 yard dash).
"The linebackers don't expect
me to get behind them as quickly
as I do. It is a definite advantage
for me Linville said.
The mobile Linville compares
his play to both receivers and tight
ends in the NFL.
As I said before, I think of
myself as a receiver. I look at Jerry
Rice San Francisco 49ers WR as
well as Brent Jones, the tight end
for the 49ers
Linville's role here at ECU is
well defined.
"I do a combination of both

in this offensive scheme. The tight
end's number is
called often. I'd
say it is a 50-50
situation
All he
needs now is to
stay healthy,
and. in turn,
Linville's recep-
tion numbers
could start to go
through the
roof.
Linville
feels the Pirates
have what it
takes to be suc-
cessful, even though they possess a
not so impressive 1-2 record.
"We have to learn to win he
said. "All we have to do is cross that
barrier where we come out on top
in a close game. You know, it is not
a long process. All it takes is one

game to start the ball rolling
He hopes this Saturday's game
versus USM will be the one that
puts the Pirates on the winning
track. USM currently stands at 2-2,
and a win over the Golden Eagles
would put ECU in the thick of
things in the Liberty Bowl alliance
standings. -
However, a loss would put
them one-and-a-half games behind
Southern Miss, a possible back-
breaking situation from which re-
covery is doubtful.
"We are going in to this game
as if it were the Liberty Bowl itself
Linville said. "This is do or die. We
have to come aw ay wrth a win and
that is what we plan on doing
Saturday's game will be put-
up or shut-up' for ECU. If Linville
has his way, and all goes according
to Coach Logan's plan, the Pirates
will take a big step in prolonging
their season until December 31 �
when they will play in the Liberty
Bowl.

BROOKINS
was determined by two factors:
playing time and geographic loca-
tion. "I felt like coming out of
JUCO. one of the main things is to
get in to a program where I would
get to play right off the bat. because
we only have two seasons of eligi-
bility Brookins said. "Another rea-
son was at NEO it was a 20 hour
drive home and ECU is an S hour
trip
At ECU. Brookins has
emerged as a leader. Fie started eight
games last season, making 61 tack-
les (41 solos) and five tackles for
losses, with seven and a half sacks.
Brookins also led the team in quar-
terback pressures. So far this sea-
son he has 18 tackles with one and
a half sacks, one forced fumble and
one tackle for a loss. Against
Temple, he had seven quarterback
pressures. 'I feel great playing
alongside such players with so
much talent like Walter Scott. John
Krawczyk. and Lorenzo West
Brookins said, 'it has helped me
playing beside guys that know their
responsibilities. Making plays
comes as a result of having good
players around you. For example,
if Walt takes on a trap and spills the
ball out to me that leaves me open
to make the tackle
Brookins sets high goals for
himself both on the field and in the
classroom. "One of the most impor-
tant goals for me is getting out of
here with a degree Brookins said.
"I don't want to not graduate and
feel like I have wasted 4 or 5 years
of my life. I am a Criminal Justice
major and a lot of my relatives are good to go out there and sack the
pretty prominent in law enforce- quarterback. Some people are not
ment. I would like to follow in their capable of playing at my level and
footsteps and have them help me get
acclimated to that job market after
graduation
The NFL is definitely one
of Brookins' driving ambitions.
Scouts from the Arizona Cardinals.
Tampa Ba Buccaneers, and New
Orleans Saints were at the Syracuse
game to scout him. They were
highly impressed by his hustle, ag-
gressiveness, and speed. "1 really
couldn't say much about my
chances of making it because I don't
know much about how they evalu-
ate college players Brookins said.
"My coaches have told me that
scouts have been pulling informa-
tion on me and are excited about
watching me play. It adds a little
pressure because I know the expec-
tations are a lot higher now
His size will likely mean a
change of position for Brookins
next season as a NFL rookie. "1 feel
at the Pro level that I would be at
an outside linebacker position and
I feel I am a good enough all pur-
pose player to play there Brookins
said. "If a team needs some one with
pass rushing skills and ability I can
fill that role. I have never played
linebacker before but I feel with my
speed I can adjust and play like a
Lawrence Taylor or Derrick Tho-
mas. Lawrence Taylor is a good role
model for me. Looking at him I see
myself, a good player who gets re-
spect from the other players. I see
aspects of him in myself. It feels
it makes me feel good as an athlete
kind of like a standout
Playing against Southern
Mississippi has Brookins excited
and raring to go.
"That is the type of offense I
have better games against rather
than complicated offenses with so

many different responsibilities
Brookins said. "Physically I look
forward to playing basic, smash-
mouth football
Willie Brookins should be
able to make the transition to out-
side linebacker smoothly at the
next level. His speed and size
should make him a multi-talented
professional whether it is at line-
backer, end, or in a special teams
role.
