The Department of Political Sci-
ence, like much of the rest ot the
University is undergoing many
changesdesigned toimpro eperfbr-
mance, as well as what students get
out ot it.
The Master of Public Administra-
tion program was recently accred-
ited by the National Association of
SchtKils of Public Affairs and Ad-
ministration (NASPAA) for a seven-
year period.
There are also plans for a new
Masters of Arts program in Interna-
tional and Comparative Politics. Die
program willindudeextensivework
in foreign languages, history, eco-
nomics and other related fields
"An international studies program
without a strong foreign language
component has no credibility in the
academic or business world said
Dr. David Conradt, chair oi the de-
partment
The biggest change comes with
theretirementotMr. 1 lerbertC arlton,
the departmental advisor. Mr.
Carlton retired this summer after 36
years at ECU. He was one ot the
i iriginal members of the department
when it was formed in 1464.
Dr. Conradt replaced Carlton as
the department's chair. He received
his Ph.D at Brown University in
Rhode Island and also studied at the
University of Cologne in Germany
and the London School of Econom-
ics.
"I was attracted by the school's
ECU's potential, in a very up and
coming part of the state, and the
challenge of leading a department
Conradt said.
Conradt comes to ECU from the
University of Florida wherein taught
for 25 years, specializing in Euro-
pean politics. Conradt is spear-head-
ing the effort to evolve the depart-
ment, emphasizing the research ele-
ment.
"We want a focused relationship

perceptions of local government i
rials about the Global Transpark in
Kinston. I )r.Scavoalso joined 35other
professors from across the country
for C-Span's Summer L?L,4 Seminar
for Professors. The pr gram focused
on creative ways tu use C-Span's
public affairs programming in the
college classroom and in research,
Conradt said.

Justice Rehnquist
The Political Science Department
has 16 full-time faculty members
with doctorates and three part-time
professors. All full-time faculty
members have doctorates or are
finishing up as required by ECU.
'Traditionally we've had some
of the colleges best professors.
Eamon and Carlton were teachers
of the year and Scavo was a finalist.
(Student) evaluations are consis-
tentlv above the college average
Conradt said.
There are also three new addi-
tions in the department. Dr. Sheen
Rajmairareceived herPh-D. from the
University of Colorado and has
taught at George Washington Uni-
versity and the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is a spe-
cialist in international relations and
will be teaching International rela-
tions and Asian politics.
Mr. Carl McCurley comes to ECU
from Indiana University and teaches
American government Dr. Bryan
Harbour is a visiting professor who
has a law degree and Ph.D from
Chapel Hill. He will be teaching judi-
cial poli tics concerningconsti tutiona
law and the Supreme Court.
Any student interested in a law
career should stop by and see him
Conradt said.
There a re a round 140 undergradu-
ate students and about 120 graduate
students in the department. There
are no undergraduate sub-depart-
ments in political science. However,
there is a lot of room to put together
a concentration, Conradt said.
Many political science majors go
to law school, business school, gradu-
ate work in public administration as
well as working in local, state and
national government and commu-
nity health.
"Political science is a liberal arts
major. The BA doesn't prepare you
for any specific work, the graduate
department will prepare you. We
think Political Science is a flexible
major you can do a lot with in the
public and private sector Conradt
said.
There will be new courses in vari-
ous subjects offered this school year.
New courses will be offered in politi-
cal leadership, South Asia politics
and public policy in the media. Plans
are in effect for new courses in inter-
national relations, Latin American
studies, urban politics, women in
politics and a North Carolina polil
class taught bv Dr. Thomas Eamon,
an authority on southern politics
"We encourage our students to
get invoked in campus, as well as
national politics Conradt said.
Students seem to enjoy their time
in political science classes, despite
the demands of the department.
"The Department of Political Sci-
ence here at ECU, for me has been
both demanding and rewarding. It
has helped meconsiderably in prepa-
ration for further academic studies
said Erik Avers a senior political sci-
ence major.

Although it is optimistic that tire
campaign goal for $50 million will
be reached in December of 1994,
ECU will continue to campaign for
one additional year.
"Some areas will not be fully

Volunteer to fight illiteracy
Did you know that approximately one of
fiveadultsinPittCountyisilliterate?Ifyouare
able to read this, you could help improve the
situation by getting in contact with The Lit-
eracy Volunteers of America in Pitt County.
The program's director ,Rena Eller, asserts
that the number of persons requesting literacy
assistance vastly outnumbers the amount of
volunteers on hand. Needless to say, more
volunteers are needed.
The fact of the matter is that illitera-gs
on the rise and if measures are nofTaken to
reniedvthesituation,itwillcci9iMworsen.
Because education ijJMdmber one
factor in determining an 'lncffvidual's socio
economic staJfti Hietoftfjry to read is crucial.
Thing! ?fici a?ading a letter from a
loved one rtiposing a grocery list are
monumentaoo'stacles in the everyday life of
the illiterate. You can just imagine how diffi-
cult it is for them to try to find gainful employ-
ment.
As a matter of fact, 15 million adults
holding jobs today are functionally illiterate
and 60 of the unemployed lack the basic
skills necessary to be trained for high tech jobs.
The latter information is reflected in the
statistics showing that the high school drop-
out rate is 29 in this country; in Japan, the ra te
is 5 and in Russia, 2.
While the picture is not looking toobright,
Literacy Volunnteers of Amarica is making an
impact. Since 1962 they have started pro-
grams in 44 states and have reached out to over
350,000 individual seeking to improve their
literacy skills,
Just think, if each student at ECU took
the time, we could probably eradicate the illit-
eracy dilemma in our little corner of the world.
While a noble andworthwhile endeavor
for all people involved in the fight against
illiteracy, those ECU students who plan to at-
tend any professional school after their under-
graduate education will benefit. Most law and
medical schools look favorably upon volunteer
service and some requrie a certain amount be
accomplished in order to graduate. Having
Literacy Volunteer service on your resumecould
give you the edge over your peers in the very
competitive selection process.
In order to meet the challenge of teaching
someone to read, the Literacy Volunteers of
America in Pitt County will sponsor a 15-hour
tutor training workshop on Mondays and Thurs-
days beginning in mid-January. The sessions
begin at seven p.m. and end at 9:30 pm. If you
are interested and would like further informa-
tion ,please feel free to call Rena Eller at 752-
0439.
Imagine the courage it takes for some-
one who is illiterate to ask for help. It would
be disgraceful for even one call to go unan-
swered.
The staff of The East Carolinian believes
the courage displayed by those asking for
assistance should be matched; the need for
volunteers could easily be met by the stu-
dent body here at East Carolina University.
Be a hero and strive to assist others. You
could find yourself in a rewarding situation
where you can give the gift of literacy.
The few hours spent by volunteers
teaching basic reading skills each month will
be felt for generations. When you measure
the impact volunteering can have against
the time spent, everyone is clearly a winner.
Modern jobs diminish life's essence
Money, politics and laziness
"? by Brian Hall
Everyone in the world to-
day seems to be a slave to duty,
uty binds each and everyone of
us to occupations and responsi-
bilities that most of us do not
want, yet'we accept them will-
ingly or otherwise because we
fear personal freedom.
Aldous Huxley's senti-
ments on this matter have a defi-
nite ring of truth: "They (human-
ity) intoxicate themeselves with
work so they won't see how they
really are
From childhood, we are
baptized with the credo of work's
beneficence versus the heretical
influence that leisure might have
on us. We are told " idle hands
make work for the devil and
that laziness is an extended flir-
tation with chaos.
Stability, which stems from
everyone doing his or her duty,
must be maintained. To deviate
from the cosmic order of things,
in which work is central, is an act
of deviance against its omnipo-
tent Creator
During the course of our
lives, we will be continued to be
reminded of both the necessity
and the virtue of work at
nauseaum. These messages have
been with us forever and will
remain as such until we become
work for the gravedigger. Aside
from the familial encouragement
of hard work, the first place one
usually encounters the dogma of
dutiful labor is in the classroom.
One of my earliest recollec-
tions from my elementry school
years was having the fable, The
Ant and the Grasshopper read to me
in class. I recall how the tale por-
trayed the unproductive, yet con-
tented, grasshopper in contrast to
the serious and industrious ant.
The effectiveness of the
story's moral message was inten-
sified by the teacher adopting a
harsh and judgemental to me
when reading about the grasshop-
per When the story was finished,
myself and the other kids had
learned how preferable laboring
was to degenerative idleness.
Thus, the teacher was suc-
cessful in indoctrinating us with
the Protestant work ethic and
capitalism's redeeming powers
via a quaint child's tale.
From that time forward, my
conscience has been burdened by
feellings of guilt whenever I fail to
be productive or resourceful.
Furthernore, 1 have seen and felt
society's disapproval towards
those who are not enthusiastic
about working or capable of
working for that matter.
Anybody who receives gov-
ernment assistance such as wel-
fare, regardless of whether or not
they have a legitimate right to this
monetary aid, is perceived as a
grasshopper sponging off others,
while other persons who labor
justtosurviveareconsidered righ-
By Joshua White
teous like the ant.
I do not wish to digress too ,
far from my main topic by dwell- .
ing on ants and grasshoppers, but
I think most entomologists would i
be inclined to agree that the ant is
nota verymoralbug.Thinkabout
how many harmless picnics have,
been ruined by ant's pirating
someone's lunch basket. The ant
would probably make a better
role model for corporate execu-
tives than schoolchildren.
While I do not dispute the
fact that work is necessary for
survival or at least economic
well-being, I feel that society
emphasizes business and work-
ing too much.
Refering back to Huxley's
comment, I believe that because
people have been taught since
birth to remain constantly active
that to suddenly stop and pause
to reflect meditatively on life
would cause a feedling of awk-
wardness.
After all, we are what we
do and what we do provides us
with purpose. Sadly enough, this
statement is a reality for many
people.
Sadder still is the life of one
who has never stopped to smell
the roses because he or she has
been too busy planting them.
There will always be work to be
done, but you and I will not
always be here to do it. Life is
brief. Work is continuous.
- Letters to the Editor
One never knows when a
moment of epiphany will strike.
They can happen at the
strangest times and in the most
unexpected places One hap-
pened recently as 1 was flipping
through the channels on TV. (If
you do not know what an
epiphany is, it is a sudden intui-
tive revelation.)
As I passed by MTV, I came
across Kurt Loeder doing one of
those rock news updates that he
does. Normally 1 cannot tolerate
MTV, but the news updates can
be interesting, so I listened for a
minute.
One of the tidbits of infor-
mation was that rapper Snoop
Doggy Dogg was being ar-
raigned on murder charges in
Los Angeles. Nothing too shock-
ing here, since the music indus-
try has known that this wascom-
ing for some time. What really
got me was Loeder's assurance
to his listeners that this would
r.ot prevent Mr. Dogg's appear-
ing on the MTV video music
awards.
While I heartily endorse the
concept that a man is innocent
until proven guilty, thisset me to
thinking. If being charged with
murder is not enough to be re-
moved from MTV, then whatex-
actly does one have to do before
MTV will not put one on the air?
A more personal such mo-
ment happened to me just last
Thursday at.olden Corral. Sud-
denly it occurred to me that I will
never make it to Congress. For-
merly, I liked lo believe that
someday 1 would run tor Con-
gress (and win, of course ? no
pra ever dreams of running for
anrJiing and losing).
Noial. however, 1 realize that
i w, howevi

I do not HSVe the basic tempera-
ment or nature to be a successful
politician.
Politicians should only need
honesty, intelligence, open-
mindedness and good judgment.
In reality, many other things are
needed to be successful. These
things which are needed, even
demanded by the American
people, are many of the things
which are contributing to the dis-
trust of the political system.
To be elected in the current
political climate requires first and
foremost money. Now, while it
has always been true that a candi-
date for office needed money,
nowadays one needs big time
money. Money with a capital "M
Money for TV commercials.
Money for media consultants.
Money for campaign staffers and
workers. Money to get one's mes-
sage out to the people.
This becomes a viciouscycle.
People refuse toexpend any effort
to learn about where candidates
sLind on the issues. They refuse to
go see the candidates make
speeches in person. They refuse to
even read reports of speeches
made in the newspaper.
Instead, we prefer to get our
news in short sound bites on the
evening news ? the shorter the
better. We do not want to have to
spend too much time thinking
about these things. So the office
seeker must collect more money
to go to the people. This creates
more alienation in the electorate
and they become more unwilling
to spend energy or time on cam-
paigns.
As a result, the candidates
end up doing one of two things to
get votes, both of which are un-
healthy for the country. Either the
candidate will attack her oppo-
nent, or she will promise to solve
the problems of the country.
The fi rst case, running nega-
tive ads, has been beaten to death
lately, so let me just say that we all
know how adversely these affect
the body politic.
The second case, however,
may be even worse. First, it rein-
forces the already too prevalent
idea that the government is here
to solve our problems.
This sort of view that the
government should be our watch-
ful parent, protecting us from harm
is everywhere. We believe that the
governmentshould protect us from
everything ? from bad food to
lack of health care. What ever hap-
pened to people taking care of
themselves?
Moreover, since solving the
problems of the world are beyond
human capacity, the failureof poli-
ticians to keep their prom ises helps
to fuel the cynicism that all politi-
cians are incompetent and(or) li-
ars.
Unfortunately, there does not
seem to be anv solution tor this
problem. Unless the American
people decide to get off their duffs
and investigate candidates tor
themselves something which
seems unlikely, given th.it most
will not ever gel ofl their behinds
to vote the standing of pol ical
figures in our country will likely
To the Editor:
If you (Shannon (.ay ' were a representative
of all "genuinely alternativ e folk I would dismiss
you all for being as shallow and insincere as the
dreaded "music corporations" and "fashion de-
signers 1 know, however, that the opinion ex-
pressed is not representative. Do we want to open
people's minds, making ourselves walking bill-
boards for that cause, only to scoff at the accumu-
lating following? The recent Cobain converts mighy
equate in some minds to the Roman guard who
decided Jesus Christ was the son of Cod after he
died, but perhaps they are in fact a new church.
So now there's no place left for you "genu-
ine alternatives" to go. Everything is acceptable.
So what if fashion no longer makes your "state-
ment but then I suppose it's a lot easier to put
on thrift store flannels and feel intellectually-
superior then sicl it is to open our minds and
mouths and say something worthy of that supe-
riority Those like you can only be described as
selfish evangelists who can think of nothing more
than of all the space getting taken up in heaven
by the converts. Sorry you don't feel cool any-
more.

A Drop
in THE
Bucket
Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
"A Drop in the Bucket" is
just what it claim to be: a very
tiny drop in the great screaming
bucket of American media opin-
ion. Take it as you will.
Greenville is a cultural
wasteland.
Oh, we have some high cul-
ture,certainly- Art exhibitions
are constantly taking place at
Gray Gallery. The Upper
Crust Bakery plays host to
regular poetry readings.
Plays both big and small are
put on at McGinnis and
Wright theatres. Lecturers
and poets and respected
people of all stripes fre-
?jjuently visit campus to speak
$n one topic or another.
J But these events are at-
Jended mainly by a small, spe-
cialized minority of the popu-
lation and students required
Jo go by a professor. Atten-
dance, in other words, is not
particularly good.
I suppose that's to be ex-
pected. High culture is gen-
erally the stomping ground
bf intellectuals and artistic
lypes; it attracts a small audi-
ence by nature.
r But what about so-called
law culture? Movies and mu-
sic and magazines and books?
As a devoted fan of these low
culture art forms, I've had
reason to be appalled at any
number of things lately, and
it's time to blow off some
steam.
The latest thing that's got-
ten under my skin is the
choice of movies in this town.
While movie selection here
has never been good, some
major films haven't made
their way into Greenville's
cultural black hole.
You'd think that with four
theaters, we could get a wider
variety of films. But Tim
Burton's Ed Wood, which is
catching lots of praise (and
talk of Oscar nominations),
can't be seen here. More
amazingly, neither is Quiz
Show.
Ed Wood has two things
working against it. One, it's
filmed in black-and-white.
Two, it's about a transvestite
movie director. And much as
I'd like to forget it, we are
living in the Bible Belt here,
where transvestites and
movie directors are frowned
upon.
Black and white should be
prettv popular, however, con-
sidering how many people in
this town want to turn back
the clock.
But Quiz Show? Come on!
It's about the fixed game show
scandal of the 1950s! It's get-
ting good reviews and mak-
ing lots of money and 1 know

Living is not easy in Dogpatch, USA
Brian Hall
Staff Writer
Once one of the staples of
American entertainment, the
light musical comedy is sadly
becominga dying form. So those
nostalgic for the good old days
gladly welcomed the musical
comedy "Li'l Abner which
opened The East Carolina Play-
house 1994-95 season last
Thursday.
While "Li'l Abner" is not the
best example of this form (for
example, "Guys and Dolls
which was performed last
spring on the ECU stage, and I
think is clearly superior), it is
much preferred over other re-
cent musical comedies, such as
the simply dreadful "Annie
another cartoon turned into a
musical.
Johnny Mercer and Gene de
Paul, the authors of
"Li'lAbner were able to main-
tain the cartoonish nature of
the characters without resort-
ing to the sort of smarminess
which ruined "Annie
The plot of "Abner" (both
the comic strip and the play)
revolves around the denizens
of Dogpatch, Missitucky, spe-
cifically Li'l Abner and Daisy
Mae. Daisy wants to catch
Abner on Sadie Hawkins Day
soshe can marry him, and
Abner does not want to be
caught. It was from this simple
plot and the many memorable
supporting characters he ere-

ated that Al Capp was able to
produce one of the most memo-
rable comic strips in American
history.
In this sort of play the plot
just serves as an excuse for the
characters to be on stage, and it
is they who make this play so
delightful. The characters have
to drive the show, for though
this is a musical, the music is
without a doubt the worst part
of the show.
The musicians from the ECU
School of Music, led ably by Scott
Carter, did the best they could
with what they had been given
to play. The cast infused the mu-
sical numbers with an energy
which can almost overcome the
music's weaknesses.
However, in the end we must
admit that "Abner" is, like
Aladdin, that most unusual crea-
ture ? a musical which succeeds
despite its songs. Only the show-
stopping "Jubilation T.
Cornpone" matches the quality
of the rest of the show.
The two leads, Tara Bost and
Jeremy P. Bolich (as Daisy and
Abner respectively), did a fine
job. However, as is almost inevi-
table in this sort of production,
several of the supporting char-
acters steal the show.
The longest and loudest
laughs and cheers went to Alecia
Hillis and Brian Davis as
Mammy and Pappy Yokum. The
combination of Davis' physical
comedy and Hillis' impeccable
delivery and timing were ter-
rific, and entrance! and delighted
the large opening night crowd.
Overlooked by the audience,
but just as good, was Michael F.
Brooks as Marryin'Sam. Brooks,
who was so good last spring in
"Guys and Dolls wins the
award for funniest line and
quickest thinking for prevent-
ing what could have been a di-
sastrous moment.
Abner and Sam were stand-
ing on-stage talking to an off-
stage (and un-named) president,
when the voice of the president
stopped suddenly. After wait-
ing for a few moments, Davis
announced "I guess Hillary
wanted him and the pair
marched off stage to gales of
laughter.
This up-to-date reference was
merely one of many throughout
the production, which brings up
the two minor nits to pick with
the performance. The references
were funny and delightful at
first. The audience especially
loved the one about anyone be-
ing able to stop N.C. State on the
one-yard line.
However, after a while, they
became tiring (and everyone
should know by now that refer-
ences to Generation X are not
amusing). The second is that if
the Playhouse is going to begin
plays of more than three hours
at eight o'clock, could it please
start them on time?
On a more positive note, the

Talking straight with Abner
Jennifer Coleman
Staff Writer
All you need is love or so we
thought. According to Norman
Panama and Melvin Frank's musi-
cal comedy "Li'l Abner you also
need money, which is something
necessary for human survival and a
good pair of running shoes. What
does all this have to do with love?
Just ask Li'l Abner and Daisy
Mae, or any of the rest of the
Dogpatch citizens, and they'll be glad
to tell you. Or just go see The East
Carolina Playhouse's presentation of
this farcical adaptation of Al Capp's
famous comic strip.
The play centers around the town
of Dogpatch, USA. The citizens of
Dogpatch are simple country folk,
rich in tradition and honor.Tradition
such as the annual Sadie Hawkins'
Day race, when all of the unmarried
women in Dogpatch try to catch a
husband,and theComponeMee tin
which signals events of extreme im-
portance.
One such event is the imminent
bombing of Dogpatch which the
citizens are bound and determined
to prevent. And how can they pre-
vent it? Why, with Mammy Yokum's
YokumberryTonic! And thus begins
the first play of the East Carolina
Playhouse season.

Streep runs wild

It's a very special time for every-
one when the fair comes to town. To
most, it is a must-do experience, an
experience filled with memories that
will be talked about for weeks. All
last week, the Pitt Co. Fair was in

Meryl Streep has fashioned a
film career true to her roots,
which formed at Vassar College
and the Yale School of Drama.
Streep has had a penchant for
characters who have had such
strong personali ties that no room
remained for any personal at-
tributes to shine through. Meryl
Streep could act in anything it
seemed and the audience would
accept her per i ermance each time
because the viewer had no idea
who Meryl Streep really was.
Streep acted like a chameleon
changing colors to fit into any
film in which she stared.
Part of the allure of Streep has
been her reticence to discuss her
personal life (a husband of 16
years and four children) with the
press. Streep has always re-
mained a consunimate profes-
sional who feels her work, not
her private life, should matter.
Finally, Meryl Streep has made
a film that insiders say is theclosest
the actress has come to playing
herself. Streep plays a woman
named Gail who is a teacher of
history at a school for the deaf and
who used to be a white water raft
guide in her newest filrn, Tlie River
Wild,
As The Rner Wild opens, Gail is
planning to take her family on a
trip down a river in Montana to
celebrate her son Roarke's (Joe
Mazzello) birthday. I ler husband
Tom (David Straithairn) reluc-
tantly bows out at the last minute
due to work commitments only to
charter a flight at the last minute to
join his family.
Gail is a devoted mother, gifted
teacher (v hich is evident as she
teaches Roarke how to fly fish) and
a skilled rafter. Streep uses no ac-
cents other than her own and im-

Public Enemy: Chuck D, Flavor
Flav, Terminator X, Hank Shocktee
and the Bomb Squad, Media Assas-
sin I larrv Allen and the Security of
the First World. Some of the names
have changed over the past seven
years, but the same message is still
there; Public Enemy is the foremost
politicalrapgroup. IntrodiK tionsare
probably pointless; everybody
knows who they are.
1994 has seen the sixth release
from P.E "Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess
Age Yes, the title is confusing. I can
make partial sense of it and l think l
get the idea, but maybe not. The
"Mess Age" part makesa lot of sense.
If you know P.P. at all, you can
guess that this album has some po-
litical tracks on it. Overall, "Muse" is
possibly the group's strongest politi-
cal commentary to date; it is chock
full of conspiracy theory, commu-
nity policing and even environmen-
talism.
Tlie hardcore beats, innovative
mix of sound bitesand samples, clas-
sic K&B and soul music hixks, and
their distinctive cinematic sound is
still there. Hut the sound is somehow
different this time, sharper, louder
and more complex. "Our music is
different on each album. On thisone,
we had to come out ot the blocks

body?including some retro-funk
and laid back R&I5 with a groove.

I he opening track, "Whole I otta

is your standard P.E. song, boomin'
beats and haunting loop. The song
states Chuck's feelings on the state of
the Afro-American community, the
self-destructive things that are tak-
ingplace.and thegixxl peoplecaught
in the middle trying to hold the whole
thing together. The real clincher is
the sound bite that begins that song
and the album.
It opens with a scene in the future.
It's December 31, 1999 and former
KuKluxKlan leader David Duke has
been elected president of the United
States. Duke then joins the U.S. in a
neo-colonial alliance with European
powers which threatens the survival
of people of color worldwide. The
new alliance's goal is to destroy and
subdue. In the face of such threats,
P.E demands through its booming
sound that people of the world re-
spond. That's a hell of a way to open
an album ?fear is a gotxl attention
getter. Fear of a white planet
Many of the songsare centered on
this European international con-
spiracy. "RaceAgainst limeThin
Line Between I .aw and Rape and
"I litler Day" are three such songs.
"Hitler Day" is especially interest
ing. It isbasicallv a protest against the
celebration of Columbus Day; P.E.
equates it with celebrating a Hitler
Day. Columbus' discovery was a
Hitler Day for the native residents of
this continent, and Chuck extends
the sentiments to the treatment of
Afro-Americans in the later devel-
opment of our country. I le may just
a have a point.
"Bedlam 13:13" is the one envi-
ronmental tune but even it is perme-
ated by the conspiracy theory. I'm

ing the environmental devastation
that we all know too well.
Some ot the songs are a direct
message to the Afro- American com-
munity. "Give It Up "What Side

Now" are songs thatcalltoran end to
self-destructive behavior such as

Chuck calls for the community to
police itselr and return to the older
African values of the whole com-
munity taking responsibility forme
raising of the children, an idea that
would help any community.
There area fewhumoroussongs,
it's not all anger. Flavor Flav has a
little solo jam "I Ain't Mad At AH"
that is kind of reminiscent of "911 is
a loke" and may achieve the same
popularity; it's very danceable.
Chuck even does some old school
mic skills, boasting on the tracks "I

fierce, it takes me back to the sounds
of "Prophets of Rage" on the Na-

show I've been to this se-

about five minutes that maybe
10 percent of the crowd was
there for the music.
The rest simply wanted to
make the scene and, more im-
portantly, get stumbling blind
drunk.
There's nothing wrong with
that, but there is more to life.
( .reenville used to have a real

if they hadn't heard it before.
ot these days.
And it's not as if the local
roups suck. Henry Acrobat,
the Unsound, The Not So Dan-
delions, Ella and even old
downtown faves like Fountain
of Youth are cranking out some
nice sounds that deserve to be
heard.
And speaking of things that
deserve an audience, why can't

town, with its growing "alter-
native" culture, that a place
which stocks alternative litera-
ture and magazines like Epony-
mous Books has to move into
;he back of a record store to
sutwve? Do people want to ex-
pand their minds, or just their
wardrobes?
Ever since I moved to Green-
ville three years ago, I've been
pleasantly surprised by the is-
lands of good "low" culture,
small though they were, that
thrived here. I've taken com-
fort in knowing that there were
other people who enjoyed that
( ulture as much as I did.
1 thought the cultural snob-
berv of the Triangle Area to-
ward Greenville was un-
founded. But if things continue
the way they're going now,
they'll be right. And that would
be a nitv
hues Gail with enough physical and
emotional strength to nuke any
woman jealous. Audiences may feel
like thev are seeing the real Meryl
Streep for the first time on the silver
screen and most are probably falling
in love with her.
At forty-five, Meryl Streep may be
repositioning herself as one of the
most popular and easily one of the
most talented actresses of her time.
The River Wild will be followed by her
starringroleoppositeClintEastwood
who is also directing, in Tlie Bridges of
Madison County. The River Wild
doubled the profits made by its clos-
est competitor on its opening week-
end and the film should perform
strongly until the Thanksgiving
weekend.
Vie Riivr Wild is a great action
picture that pits Gail and her family
against criminals who need to have
Gail navigate them down the river.
Filled with taut suspense as well is
moving drama, Tfie River Wild sol-
idly livesup toexpectations. The film
even exceeds many expectations.
The acting for instance, raises
above the level normally found in
thrillers of this sort. Streep, Bacon (as
smooth talking criminal Wade),
Straithairn and even John C Reilly
(as Wade's partner) rum in magnifi-
cent performances.
Bacon has kicked his career into
high gear by doing character roles in
quality films like IFK, A Few Gxkl
Men and now Vie River Wild.
Straithairn continues to amaze
with the range of his performances.

h.i been in Milid roles in little-seen
films like (ost m onkers, Passim Fish
arxdSneakers. 1 leagaindemonstrates
his acting prowess as the meek hus-
band who must tind inner fortitude.
Another expectation superseded
by TheRJvei Wild is the filming of the
ratting. Curtis Hanson, the director
(who last worked on 77k Hand That
Rocked the Cradle), fought to get great
shots of the river and the raft. The
budget supposedly ballooned from
$28 million to $44 million because of
1 lanson'sdedication to realistic shots.
My stomach felt queasy at several
points during the film because of the
wonderful cinematography, which
captured the river in all its majesty
and power while conveying the
strength employed by the rafterschal-
lenging the river.
The best expectation to be shat-
tered was that Tlw River Wild would
be a run-ot the-mill action picture
with a female in the lead. Happily,
the film tells a complex tale of a fam-
ily tighting to stay together even be-
fore the river trip begins while grip-
ping the audience with an exciting
action story that thrills the viewer
like the rapids it shows on screen.
The River Wild may make Meryl
Streep a mega-star, as well ashelping
the careers of Bacon and Straithairn,
because it has all the ingredients of a
huge hit. Meryl Streep proves once
again how great an actressshecan be
simply by letting the audience see a
side of herself she has never shown.
On a scale of one to ten, The River
Wild rates an eight.

like thisone than meets theeye. Hours
of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes
preparation go into a show of this
magnitude. But, as anyone will tell
you, the hard work Ls more than
worth it. Everyone involved felt that
all of their preparation paid off in the
long run.
And those not directly involved
with the show felt that the cast and
crew's dedication paid off as well.
Candace Doemer, an audience mem-
ber at Saturday night's performance,
said, "All I could think of was how-
much I wished I was on stage with
them
More important than the audi-
ence reaction, however, was the learn-
ing experience for cast and crew. "The
best thing for us was the opportunity
toworkwith D.J. Maloney J. To work
with a director with the experience
and knowledge that he has. He's just
incredible said Jeremy Bolich and
Tara Bost, who played Li'l Abner
and Daisy Mae. They both felt that
thev learned a lot from the entire
experience.
But don't think the production
was all work and no play. According
to Kelly Cates, a member of the run-
ningcrew, thebest thing about work-
ing with this play was "the behind-
the-scenes jokes With a cast and
crew this large, it is expected that the
performers and the crew will joke
around occasionally as happens
with almost any show.
But all joking around aside, the
real test of a show's success or failure
is the opinion of the director. Li'l
Aimer's director, D.J. Maloney, was
very pleased with the production. "It
went extremely well. It's a whole
evening of cartoonish fun. If you want

Pirates unload their arsenal on 'Cocks, win 52-46
Brad Oldham
Assistant Sports Editor
Columbia, S.C may never be
the same again.
In front of a homecoming crowd
of 70,000-plus at Williams-Brice
Stadium, ECU beat the Gamecocks
56-42 on Saturday afternoon, in
the highest scoring game in either
of the two schools histories.
"It was a win, but it goes against
what I've been trying to get done
at East Carolina said ECU head
coach Steve Logan after victory.
"We've won games like that be-
fore. It's kind of been our histon'
winning 56 to 40-something. We
can't get back into that. If we fall
back into that old East Carolina
crap of trying to win games 60-50,
it ain't gonna get done. We've got
to go back to work on defense
What's more amazing about the
high-scoring game is that neither
team scored in the first quarter.
However, ECU took the game to
another level right away in the
second quarter. Senior running
back Junior Smith (28 carries, 192
yards, 2 TD's) got back into his old
routine of churning out yardage,
and on second down and one from
the USC 25-yard line, Smith broke

Staff Writer
With the ECWMBien's soccer
team struggling to-achieve a
record above .500, one player has
met the challenges of a winless
team.
Dan Staton, who led the Pi-
rates last season in scoring with
10 goals, will once again revive
the offense with high school team-
mate and two-time First Team All-
CAA, Erew Racine.
"I started playing soccer when
I was five says Staton, who grew
up mostly in the eastern half of
the country. "V ve lived in Char-
lotte, Winston-Salem, Connecti-
cut and Kansas
In North Carolina, soccer is not
as big as basketball or football per
se.
"In high school, the Triangle,
Charlotte, Winston-Salem and
Greensboro schools all have com-
petitive programs. In the East, the
Jacksonville area is not bad
Staton said. "Good players come
from smaller schools too, but a lot
of good players come from the
cities because of the population
With both Staton and Racine
coming from Sanderson High
School in Raleigh, would the game
at ECU be much different?
"At Sanderson we were really
good ? it was like losing one
game a year Staton said, "Now,
everyone is so much better. In
high school you can look forward
to blowing out teams 8-0 or 9-0,
but now, every game is just a fight
to stay in it
"The biggest factor is that the
speed of the game is increased.
The goalies are so much better in
college. You can't hit the ball 30
yards out and float it into the cor-
ner anymore he said. "In high
school, I didn't aim where I was

to the right for a touchdown, put-
ting the Pirates on the board first, 7-
0.
The ECU defense got a huge
boost from linebacker Marvin
Burke, who recovered a fumble off
a Brandon Bennett fumble, giving
ECU the ball back on the USC 19-
yard line. On second and one from
the USC ten-vard line, ECU quar-
terback Marcus Crandell (19-28 for
344 yards, three interceptions and 4
TD's) threw a fade to freshman re-
ceiver Larrv Shannon (4 catches, 76
yards), who used all 6-feet-6-inches
of his bodv to go over two Game-
cocks to make the catch for the
touchdown. Chad Holcomb's ex-
tra point attempt wrsblocked, keep-
ing the score 13-0.
The Pirate defense stood tough
again, forcing three plays and a
punt by Carolina. On the first play
of the drive after the punt, Crandell
found sophomore receiverMitchell
Galloway (4 catches, 127 yards) on
a deep pattern for a 45-yard touch-
down reception. Crandell then
threw a two-yard pass to tight end
Sean Richardson to get the two-
point conversion, making the score
21-0.
The plethora of scoring did not
end there for ECU. Again, the
Gamecocks werequickly forced to
punt, giving ECU great field posi-
tion on the 44-yard hne. On sec-
ond and two from the two-yard
line, Crandell tossed the b A to a
wide-open Galloway for another
touchdown. Matt Levine's point
after wasunsuccessful, making the
score 27-0. In six minutes of foot-
ball, ECU scored 27 points.
The South Carolina crowd was
shocked. The Gamecocks needed
a big play to bring them back to
life. They got one on Bennett's 56-
yard kick-off return after the ECU
touchdown. This helped set up the
Gamecocks first score of the game,
when USC quarterback Steve
Taneyhill (39-58,451 yards, an in-
terception and 3 touchdowns)
handed off to running back Stanley
Pritchett, who ran eight yards for a
touchdown, making the score 27-
7.
After forcing the Pirates to punt,
USC would score the final points
of the first half on an 11-yard pass
from Taneyhill to senior wide re-
ceiver Kurt Frederick, making the
score 27-14 at the half.
With 10:51 left in the third quar-
ter, the Gamecocks got as close to
the Pirates as they would get all
day. On second and 16 from the
USC 38-yard line, Crandell's pass
was tipped by Galloway, and then
intercepted by Gamecock safety
Chris Abrams, who ran the ball
back 64 yards for a touchdown,
bringing USC within six points, 27-
21.
The Gamecock crowd was back
into the game, but the ECU offense
didn't miss a beat. Thev executed a
ten-play drive of 67 yards that fin-
ished in a trick play from Logan
and special teams. On fourth and
two from the USC 26-yard line, the
Pirates were set to kick a field goal.
Levine caught the snap and threw a
perfect pass to wide open tight end
Scott Richards (4 catches, 71 yards)
for a touchdown, making the score
35-21 with 6:47 left in the quarter.
"I knew that play was going to
work Levine said. "All through-
out practice we worked on that play.
Scott was wide open in the end
zone. All I had to do was lob it up to
him. He made the catch and we got
seven points out of it
The game looked to be locked in
the fourth quarter when ECU
cornerback Emmanuel McDaniel
caught a deflected pass and re-
turned it 46 yards for a touchdown

For senior running back Jun-
ior Smith, Saturday's game
against USC could be referred to
as "the game after
Last week, Smith broke the
record previously held by
CarlesterCrumplerSr. of all-time
career rushing leader at ECU. The
monkey was off Smith's back,
finally. The hype of breaking the
record was over, and Smith is
certainly not a football player
who thrives on hype.
Saturday's 192-vard perfor-
mance was his best of the season
so far. Smith was well-prepared
to do damage before the game.
"I just wanted to take the atti-
tude of 'give me the ball Smith
said. "Whenever I got the ball, I
just wanted to help my team out
and just get into the zone. I was
able to do that early. Then I fin-
ished it up at the end
The leadership that Smith
showed in the face of Saturday's
challenge is amazing.
"The previous four games, I
think I've been like a robot he
said. "I've been trying to do ev-
erything right, and- focus on the
things I didn't really need to be
focusing on. Today, I just wanted
to go out there and be myself,
having fun in a great football at-
mosphere. I was able to do that.
"Last week I broke the record,
but getting the record off my back
and coming in this week and hav-
ing a good game this week, I feel
a lot better

ECU Notes
William and Mary scored
early and often as the Tribe
downed ECU 5-1 in men's
CAA soccer action here
Wednesday afternoon.
William and Mary, who is
ranked as high as second in
the nation and is off to their
best start in school history,
began the scoring when for-
ward Waughn Hughes broke
through the Pirate defense on
a solo shot just over five min-
utes into the contest. Twelve
minutes later, Hughes tapped
in a Greg Richards pass that
came off a rebounded corner
kick to put the Tribe up for
good.
At the 24:08 mark, freshman
Wade Barrett received a preci-
sion pass from teammate
Daniel Zickefoose at the left
corner of the penalty box and
drove in a 15-yard shot to
stretch the William and Mary
lead to 3-0.
ECU avoided being the
Tribe's seventh shutout this
season when freshman John
Swaggart sent a header just
past the out-stretched hand of
reserve goalkeeper Scott Pow-
ers four minutes into the sec-
ond half.
"They had some unlucky
shots that probably should
have been made said W&M
coach Al Albert. "The score
could have been a lot closer
really. This is certainly the
toughest conference a team
we've seen so far. They played
very aggressive and put some
pressure on us
The Pirates failed to con-
vert on a wide-open shot when
Dan Staton sent a textbook
style cross-pass to Chris
Padgett at the top of the goalie
box with just under seven min-
utes to play in the first half.
Less than a minute later, ECU
junior Marc Mullin pounded a
shot that hit the left post and
was cleared out. "We just
didn't get any breaks today
said ECU coach Scooty Carey.
"They're an excellent team and
they deserve their ranking
William and Mary added
two goals in the second half to
preserve the win tor the Tribe
who improved their record to
a perfect 11 -0 on the season
and 4-0 in the Colonial Ath-
letic Association. The Pirates
drop to 0-8 on the yeai and

In manv sports programs at
ECU, the athletes are involved aca-
demical! v in fields related to sports,
but such is not the case with the
men's soccer program. Balancing
athletics and academics can be
tricky at best, but Mullin says he
has made the adjustment without
anv real problems.
"It's not too hard Mullin said.
"lfyouhaveanawavgame,andit's
late at night coming back, making
a test in the morning sometimes
you get so mentally into the game,
and you're anxious to study on the
way back and vou have to get men-
tally into school. Sometimes it is
difficult,but the trick is all in prepa-
ration
"I think pretty much that it's
(soccer team and academics) dif-
ferent from all the other sports
Mullin said. "We really don't have
too manv 'sports' majors on the
team. We have a guy in occupa-
tional therapv, two art majors, a
drafting major I'm not too keen
on everybody, but those are the
people I know. The overall G.P. A.
for the team last vear was a 3.0, so
we do emphasize studying
"In high school, you did enough
studving to get by, and that was
good enough, "Mullin said. "Here,
you definitely got to go to class. It

"College wasn't too big of a

or less me going out and meeting
new friends which was the biggest
problem. Then when you're on a
team, that's also a benefit because
vou have your friends, and you go
out with them and thev have their
friends
For one who has fared well
enough in soccer thus far, a natural
question for Mullin deals with the
eventual choice between follow-
ing his accounting degree for a
living or playing soccer.
"I'm taking it day by dav
Mullin said. "I try to do as well as I
can on the field and off the field,
