While many students stayed close to home for the holidays, students like Kenji Fujrnaga,
whose family resides in Japan, traveled 7,000 miles alone to get a second look at
California. Here, he rests outside of Giradelli Square in San Francisco.

So, you thought leaving home
to come to Greenville was difficult?
Try leaving from halfway around the
world. For three students at ECU,
leaving their homes in Japan wasn't
difficult, instead it was the opportu-
nity of a lifetime.
Kenji Fujmaga's hometown is
in Hiroshima, but he attended col-
lege in Osaka until 1987 and then
worked for the next six years for a
trading company before coming to
America. He is a graduate student
here working toward an MBA in busi-
ness.
"My mother is a kindergarten
teacher back home and heard about
ECU from a friend Fujrnaga said.
"I chose to come here because it's
not a big city and I like the climate,
but the business school was the main
reason

Grad. school enrollment up
Andy Turner
Staff Writer
Despite overall enrollment de-
creases, more older faces are being
seen around campus. As of the fall of
1994, graduate student enrollment,
including medical students, reached
3,070.
According to information in the
1993-94 ECU Fact Book, graduate
school enrollment has increased ev-
ery fall since 1990. In fall 1990, 2,693
graduate students were enrolled at
ECU, 2,807 in fall 1991, 2,913 in fall
1992 and 2,959 in fall 1993.
"There has been a steady in-
crease over the years from about the
'8889 academic years to the '9495
academic year, and we expect that
increase to continue in graduate stu-
dents said Dr. Therese Uawler, in-
terim associate vice chancellor for
research and dean of the graduate
school.
Uawler attributes the increase
in graduate school enrollment to sev-
eral factors.
"I think people are returning to
graduate school after being out in the
work world to a larger extent than
before Uawler said. "We have an in-
creasing number of older graduate
students who have been out of bacca-
laureate programs for 10 to 15 years
who realize that they would like to
have an area of specialization in which
they are current.
"They very often are looking for
a mid-life career change and coming
back to graduate school is one way to
enable that Uawler said. "I think we
have maybe a constant number of stu-
dents who go right from baccalaure-
ate t" graduate programs, our in
crease is greater in the older gradu-
ate students
Uawler said she feels the gradu-
ate school is improving in overall qual-
ity as more programs are being offered
for graduate students to pursue.
"We are. in fact, hopefully go
ing to have three new graduate pro
grams that will admit students for the
first time next fall she said. 'We have
already gotten a masters in anthro-
pology approved by the board of gov-
ernors and UNC general administra-
tion.
"We are in the process now ol
having a masters in computer science
and a masters in economics approved

Students could get tax credits
Wendy Rountree
Staff Writer
Tax time. It's approaching and
the clock is ticking. Some ECU stu-
dents who have jobs may qualify for
a new tax break.
Initially, the Earned Income
Tax Credit. (EITC) was created then
passed in Congress in 1975 for
people who earn such a low amount
of money that they do not owe any
income tax to the government. With
EITC, people could still claim credit
and get a return check.
Juanita Broadnax, public af-
fairs officer for the district office for
the Internal Revenue Service in
Greensboro, NC, said the EITC had
expanded this year to include more
people, ones who are without chil-
dren and who are not considered
anyone else's dependent
"This year if you earned less
than $9,000, have no children, are
at least 25 to 64 then you can claim
this Earned Income Tax Credit
Broadnax said.
The maximum credit this per-
son could receive from the govern-
ment would be $306.
Other ways to claim EITC are
if a person has one child living with
him or her for more than six months
and earns less than
$23, 755 or if a per-
son has two or more
children and earns
less than $25, 296.
Broadnax
said students are
likely to fill out the
1040EZ tax forms.
"Usually, the
1040EZ form is the
simplest form
Broadnax said. "On
that one, the person
earns below
$50,000 and has no
dependents
Also, married
couples who file a
joint return but have no children can
use the 1040EZ form.
Forms that other people are
familiar with and use are the 1040A
and the 1040.
Today, students do not have to
mail their returns in but have a few
options.
Broadnax said people can file
their returns electronically within the
next few weeks
by going to des-
ignated, local
IRS walk-in loca-
tions.
"The error
rate is lower for
electronically
filed returns
Broadnax said.
"It is safer and
more accurate
than mailing it
Another
option is by using
the 1040PC com-
puterized tax
form on personal
computers.
Broadnax said that people who use
their personal computers cannot get
the needed software from IRS loca-
tions.
"This year if you
earned less than
$9,000, have no
children, are at
least 25 to 64 then
you can claim this
Earned Income
Tax Credit
? Juanita Broadnax
"You have to go to a software
store to get that Broadnax said.
Students who have trouble fill-
ing out tax forms can get help by go-
ing to an IRS walk-in office.
"The walk-in office will help
you for free Broadnax said. "We
don't charge for that help
In Greenville, the walk-in office
is located in the Riverview Building
at 101 West First Street and is
opened from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Also, students who have
changed addresses and have not re-
ceived their tax packets in the mail
or are filing for the first time can get
the packets at the walk-in office.
Broadnax said the individual
has to decide whether or not to do
his or her own tax form or to seek
professional assistance.
"Well, that's up to the person
and the type of form you are filling
out Broad;lax said.
For more IRS information, stu-
dents can call the toll-free number
1-800-829-1040, Mondays through
Fridays between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30
p.m.
New support programs offered
Jeff Lee
Staff Writer
As the student population at
ECU grows, so does the need for var-
ied and improved student counseling
programs. The ECU Counseling Cen-
ter has identified these needs by of-
fering new and expanded programs for
the Spring semester, including work-
shops for Adult Children of Alcohol-
ics, Sexual Abuse and Anger Manage-
ment.
The counseling center will of-
fer three-part workshops for Adult
Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) and
female sexual abuse survivors in an
effort to help students resolve prob-
lems that cause emotional distress and
interfere with personal goals and aca-
demic success.
The ACOA workshop is struc-
tured to help show students how the
dysfunctional alcoholic family affected
them then and how it impacts their
life right now. The three-part work-
shop is scheduled to include informa-
tion about family roles, alcoholism and
to suggest goals.
The Sexual Abuse Survivors
Workshop for female survivors will
also be a three-part workshop that will
deal with emotional and psychologi-
cal issues stemming from childhood
sexual abuse or incest This workshop
will also deal with family behaviors,
rules and roles with attention to how
these affect current relationships and
personality.
Anger Management Support
Group, a five-part workshop, will pro-
vide support and help for students
that have difficulty managing their
anger especially with others. Con-
structive anger management will be
the focus with an emphasis on under-
standing feelings, beliefs and reactions
involved with anger.
"We find that we have a lot of
students that lose their temper and
break something or hit somebody and
get sanctioned and that doesn't feel
so good said Dr. Will Ball, director
of the ECU Counseling Center.
"What we try to do is offer the
student a way to deal with the anger
before it gets to far out of hand
The counseling center also of-
fers individual counseling to students
that have personal or individual needs.
"I was in a very co-dependent
relationship for almost two years, and
it got so bad that I had to get help
from an outside source other than my
friends to make me see that I was in a
very destructive relationship said
Mike, a senior communications stu-
dent
"I had one 50 minute session a
week for about six weeks, and it
helped me tremendously. Sometimes
you need someone to help pull you
outside of the problem so you can get
a clear view of what's really going on
The counseling center also has
many support groups and counseling

International travel becomes possibility for students
Chance offered to

Ben Duran
Staff Writer
Many ECU students do not
think they ever stand a chance to
see the world, but a new educa-
tional program is making it more
likely. Europeska Ferieskolan (EF)
International Language Schools
offer educational travel programs
allowing students to learn French
in France, German in Germany.
Spanish in Spain and Italian in
Italy.
"With a network of 20 lan-
guage schools and 35 admissions
offices worldwide. EF is the larg-
est and one of the most experienced
private educational organizations
in the world said Lynne Kadela.
an admissions officer for EF. "The
school provides an opportunity for
people who want language immer-
sion, it is an invaluable experience
for people who want to actually live

"My experience in France was
wonderful, travel is what I love
Kadela said.
While learning their particu-
lar language of interest, students
have the choice of living with na-
tive families or in university resi-
dence halls.
"Most of the students are ei-
ther between college and graduate
school or between high school and
college, and many plan to go on and
teach the language that they
study Kadela said.
EF offers specialized courses
which range in both ability level
and duration of stay. The courses
can be as short as a two-week lan-
guage vacation, or as long as an
academic year abroad.
"The majority of programs
are short-term, some people save up
for it like a vacation, but some stu-
dents take out loans and pay for it
that way too Kadela said.
An academic year abroad
costs between $9,100and SI 1,600,
depending on where vou plan to
study. The two-week courses are
just under $1,000. but that in-
cludes educational materials, a
place to stay and two meals a day.
"We"re developing a program
where we're going to try and give
one or two trips away each year,
but it is still in its formative stages
Kadela said.
EF has not been accredited by
a university, so getting credits for
the program here at ECU is not
guaranteed.
"We are in the process of get-
ting accredited Kadela said.
"Right now we are looking at sev-
eral schools, but we haven't made
a decision yet. Students have got
credit in the past, but you have to
go to your advisor and show them
the curriculum and your certifi-
cate
Not only does EF offer stu-
dents an opportunity to see the
world, but it gives them a chance
to meet the peonle who make up
the world.
"The best thing about EF is
that you meet people from around
the world, right now there are only
2 North American students in the
Academic Year Abroad Program
said Kadela.

EF's study abroad programs and
language vacations call 1-800-992-

Lawler said graduate schools
are only as strong as their faculty. She
pointed out that several ECU faculty
members teaching graduate classes
have national and-international repu-
tations in their fields.
Despite the increase in gradu-
ate enrollment, the majority of the
graduate school students did not re-
ceive undergraduate degrees from
ECU. According to Lawler. 70 percent
of the students enrolled in graduate
school attended other institutions for
their undergraduate studies. Lawler
attributes this to the increased num-
ber of older students coming bark to
graduate school.
While other universities across
the United States are seeing increases
in graduate school enrollment. 1-awler
said most of them are not seeing as
large of an increase as ECU.
"I think-the reputation of the
.university in graduate studies has
been growing and growing and grow-
ing and has a very positive reputation,
and now, our catchmen area for gradu-
ate students is becoming interna-
tional Lawler said.
Lawler said the graduate school
also is doing active recruiting for the
first time.
"We have an assistant dean for
the graduate school who has come on
board in a half-time capacity in the
fall, and he is developing a marketing
plan for the recruitment of graduate
students and has indeed made many
visits to small liberal arts campuses
Lawler said. "He has also gone to all
of the predominantly black schools in
the university system, because we are
certainly looking to attract a greater
minority presence in our graduate
enrollment.
"We should see that increase go
up even more sharply in the next few
years, because we are doing now some
intensive recanting, we are doing joint
recruiting with the admissions also

the site of last month's 7.2 earthquake
that destroyed most of the city in 20
seconds.
"I have no family there but my
friends that are there are all okay
he said.
Another student here also has
ties to Kobe. Yoshiyuki Yasui. an un-
dergraduate majoring in communica-
tion, is from Kobe and his parents and
grandparents still live there.
"My grandparents house was
totally destroyed, but my parents
home is okay said Yasui. "Right now.
my grandparents are living with my
parents until they can find an apart-
ment to move into
"They his family tell me every-
thing is collapsed, so I'm curious to
see what it's like. I plan to go home
and visit during summer vacation if
the transportation is okay and I can
get to my home
Until then. Yasui will continue
to go to classes and enjoy his time in
Greenville. "My aunt and uncle live
here, and they told me about ECU. I
was interested in the world out there,
and America is very international in
terms of mixed cultures he said.
In order to grasp the English
language better, Yasui spent three
months at Guilford College to learn
his second language. Then he went
to Pitt Community College for two
years before transferring to ECU last
fall. He too, has approximately two
more years left until graduation.
Then he would like to go back
Japan and work for "TV, radio or
magazine. Anything in the media he
said.
But while he is in America,
Yasui enjoys playing tennis and bas-
ketball and writing in Japanese. He
also loves watching movies. "My goal
is to watch 200 movies while I'm here,
but right now I'm at about 30
He has also done some travel-
ing. "I've been to Boston and Provi-
dence and I went to New York with
the ECU trip. I also traveled to At-
lanta and Florida and went to Disney
World
i liked it there, but it was very
expensive he said, jokingly.
Another student enjoying her
stay here is Japanese instructor and
sociology graduate student Tomoko
Ueda. Unlike Fujrnaga and Yasui.
Ueda is a member of an international
exchange program called Exchange:
Japan.
Exchange: Japan is an organiza-
tion incorporated in Michigan which
provides Japanese language training
for high school and college teachers
of Japanese. In exchange for their
teaching, American schools provide
room, board and further education.
Ueda teaches two levels of Japa-
nese in addition to pursuing her gradu-
ate degree in Sociology and working as
an assistant in the department
In Japan, Ueda received her un-
dergraduate degree in Italian. Using her
knowledge of the language to her ad-
vantage. Ueda was put in charge of the
Italian division of a Japanese trading
company.
"After about two years, I lost in-
terest in it she said. "Then I saw an
advertisement in a newspaper about
Exchange: Japan.
"Even though I had no choice as
to where I could go. I like it here, espe
dally my students
While in Greenville, Ueda enjoys
cooking and the pleasure of teaching
her native language to her students. She
also enjoys going to her own classes and
assisting in her department.
Since arriving here in August she
has traveled to Atlanta but looks for-
ward to "seeing more of the country
soon
Ueda plans to receive her master
degree in Spring 1996 and hopes to
work for a foundation that sets up other
programs like the Exchange. Japan pro-
gram.
"Everything here has been a
great experience for me she said.

Our View
? ?.? ' "
We think it's time
to pay a bit more
attention to the
graduate
students. We're
not asking for
much ? just
some housing!
They are as
much a part of
this university as
any freshman, so
let's help them
out. Think about
it ? then they
might be tempted
to donate money
once they're
millionaires!
When entering college as a freshman, there was one
thing we all could be sure of - our housing and our meal
plan. Our parents wouldn't dare have let us out of their
sight without a guaranteed three meals a day and a safe
roof over our heads, especially one that didn't include
members of the opposite sex.
While the thought of living on campus mortifies many
students who have entered the world of apartment living,
it did once provide a "safety-net" (so to speak). When ev-
erything else seems to be drastically changing around us,
one thing remained stable, our dorm life. Pardon moi, our
residence hall life.
When it seemed frustrating that we had to usher out
our significant others at 1 p.m or when we couldn't drink
a beer in the privacy of our own dorm - er residence hall
room, we could be sure of one thing, that room would
always be there, as would be our roommate and our resi-
dence hall adviser. Although having a guardian seemed a
little too close to home, it was calming to know there was
someone who knew a little more about downtown, regis-
tering or acquiring a football ticket right down the hall.
This nicety isn't so nice for students who come to ECU
as graduate students, or worse yet, as older, non-traditional
students. During the 1993-94 school year, there were 2,959
graduate students at ECU. With graduate students mak-
ing up nearly one-fifth of the student population, one would
think their housing situation had been considered. Sure,
they could live in the dorms, but how would you feel as an
18-year-old freshman to have a 24-year-old roommate, or
worse, a 50-year-old, non-traditional, student roommate?
This type of culture shock can ruin a freshman's first-year
experience. Many of these students were all but dying to
get away from home and the chaperone scene.
Not all graduate students are natives of ECU or
Greenville. In fact, most of these graduate students or older
students are as lost as that timid 18-year-old freshman who
peeked into your door one late August afternoon. Find-
ing the cashier's office, the athletic ticket office or per-
haps General Classroom may be a feat in itself for these
students, but unfortunately it isn't as easy for them to
turn to their newly acquired roommate and ask for some
help.
Perhaps providing a residence hall for older students
is not the obvious answer, but their needs should be con-
sidered as the needs of other non-traditional students needs
are being considered. The necessities of honor students
have been answered with the all-honors Fleming Hall, and
students with health problems such as asthma are given
priority to air-conditioned residence halls. Simply because
a student is older does not mean they are wiser or any
more comfortable starting a new quest at a new school.
Watch the heart goggles!

Are cultural roots dying?
Art in America is in a state of
steady decline. The arts have dimin-
ished considerable in comparison to
the importance they held 20 or 30
years ago. Are the arts still an impor-
tant cultural undertaking for Ameri-
cans in this decade or is our society
witnessing the progressive deteriora-
tion of its artistic expression and its
creative freedom?
Before answering this, question,
I should label those areas that consti-
tute the so-called "arts Traditionally,
the arts have consisted of music,
drama, visual arts, literature and
dance. Since there are a number of
styles and variations within each cat-
egory. I have listed general area rather
than attempt to give a detailed analy-
sis of each one. Obviously, there are
several t,pcs of music, dance, etc.
While it maybe true that there
is a continuing output in each area,
the types of things that are being cre-
ated should be viewed cautiously. I
am in no way trying to assert my sub-
jective belief that certain kinds of art
are better than others. This attitude
would be intellectual snobuery. How-
ever, I do feel that the creative pro-
cess is one of continued self-discov-
ery and experimentation and not
merely churning out a finished prod-
uct.
The so-called "Music Industry"
turns out, or should I say churns out
dozens of records every year that
make the pop charts for a few weeks
before being relegated to the discard
bin at your local music store. Mean-
while, members of the leading orches-
tra and jazz groups in America, many
of who have studied and practiced
countless hours at some of the
nation's top-notch schools, are sitting
in rehearsals preparing and refining
performances of some of the world's

So many
avenues of

ignored daily.
R
mam
greatest and most long existing musi-
cal creations.
The public library is a store-
house of some of the greatest works
penned by humankind. One can spend
hours going through the stacks and
discovering a wealth of ideas and ad-
ventures secured between the pages
of these volume. American writers,
foreign writers, religion, science, fic-
tion and non-fiction-all of these exhila-
rating subjects awaiting our attention.
Instead, one can sit home and read
the latest issue of Better Homes and
Gardens or read about people's imag-
ined sexual experiences in tawdry pe-
riodicals with names that are offen-
sive in polite company.
Nowadays, people are so intent
on relying on immediate and catchy
diversions that they neglect to get in
touch with their cultural heritage and
elements that make that heritage spe-
cial. Most importantly, people are al-
lowing Hollywood and our society's
bogus commercial sensations to re-
place their personal right to exercise
individual creativity or enjoy more
enriching experiences during their
free time.
Another problem affecting ouii
society's attitude towards the arts is
its blind faith in the government's
ability to iudfie what is art and whafr
is not. Government officials like Jesse;
Helms are continually begrudging
money from the arts and citing ex
ample of eccentric artists such as
Robert Mapplethorpe to make a?
strong argument against funding for-
worthwhile organizations like the
National Endowment for the Arts
(NEA). Faulty reasoning like that used
by Helms helps to impede other art-
ists who are not interested in contro-
versy but just wish to practice their ,
craft with perhaps a little support-
from their government
We have a crisis in America to
day. Our society has lost touch with
its humanity and its feelings. Every
one is susceptible to the rising tide of ?
apathy and helplessness that is invad
ing the general welfare. I believe that,
this present condition is an example
of what happens when human exprasv
sions and needs take a back seat to
economic and selfish personal gains.
The way a society expresses itself cul-
turally and artistically tells much
about the happiness and well-being of.
the members of that society. America
is not happy and it is definitely not
fulfilled artistically or otherwise.
America's concert halls and
stages are becoming museums while'
people sit back idly allowing their
cultural root to die out What kind
of artistic legacy will we as Ameri
cans have left to leave our children
television and video games? If we do'
not take the time to preserve what'
we have created and continue to cre-
ate, what will we have to show for all,
the suffering and meaninglessness of
life?

Since Valentine's Day is com-
ing up next Tuesday I feel that I
should warn those single people
out there who are feeling left out
to beware of Valentine's hallucina-
tions.
These hallucinations work on
basically the same principle as beer
goggling. The difference is that
massive amounts of Hallmark cards
and red paper hearts instead of
Budweiser cause people to over-es-
timate the attractiveness (inner and
outer) of the people around them.
Maybe there is some guy or
girl (man or woman, he-freak or
she-freak, whatever you prefer to be
called) in one of your classes that
has caught your eye. Or maybe
there is a neighbor or an acquain-
tance you haven't really paid atten-
tion to before, but ever since the
grocery store put out those displays
of candy hearts with cutesy mes-
sages on them, you've been seeing
something somehow different about
them. This is probably a Valentine's
Day hallucination which will disap-
pear with the red streamers and
heart-shaped doilies on Feb 15.
Before you do something rash like
sending your Valentine's crush a
single red rose and an invitation to
'be yours think about the story I
am about to relate.
A friend of mine, we'll call her
Cupid's Victim or C.V for short, de-
veloped a crush on a guy she had

never talked to before,
but had seen around campus. She
had Valentine's fever, so when she
found herself in line with him at
the cafeteria she invited him .to
have lunch with her, hoping it
might lead to a Valentine's date. It
was all very romantic until he be-
gan mashing up his iaco. shell and
all, and spooning it into his choco-
late milk. He shared his fondest
dreams and aspirations with C.V.
while slurping bits of soggy ground
beef and tortilla shell through a
straw.
Needless to say that
Valentine's date never happened.
But just imagine if C.V. hadn't
found out about her Prince Charm-
ing in time! She might have made
that date, gotten all dressed up and
gone out to a romantic little Ital-
ian restaurant only to find him
mushing up his lasagna and dump-
ing it into his wine glass!
I don't mean to sound like a
Valentine's grinch, I actually think
it's a great holiday if you're already
with someone. But Valentine's is
one of those occasions like your
senior prom and New Year's Eve
when expectations almost always
far exceed reality. You should just
stop and think before you send that
20 pound box of chocolates, do you
really want a valentine that badly?
One iast thing, if you really
are pining for someone and you
know it's not just something in the
air this time of year, go ahead and
do it! Ask them out, send a silly
card-you never know. And if you
do, maybe my husband and I will
see you out on the town. We'll be
celebrating the fifth anniversary of
our first date.
To the Editor:
1 am writing in regard to a cer-
tain student section in the renovated
Williams Arena at Minges. The one
section in particular (in between the
two teams' benches and behind the
scorer's table) stands out amongst the
others. A near handful of want-to-be
Duke Blue Devil fans, yelling and
screaming profanity at the opposing
teams, coaches, and referees.
I believe team and school spirit
is healthy, along with some minor
heckling as well, but the people in this
section are absolute goons. There
seems to be a leader to this clan of
idiots, whom I have personally seen
yelling obscenities and performing
absurd hand gestures toward the
court. This is uncalled for, and I am
totally embarrassed when I see this
kid yelling at the other teams, his head
swelling until it's about to explode.
If I was visiting here from an-
other school, county, state, or coun1
try, I would have to say the section
behind the scorer's table acts like
fools. Unfortunately, they stand out
and take away from the student body
as a whole, giving us a bad name and
reputation. To sum it up, just don't"
do this. j?

"Jftwte Review
Singleton fails the grade
with Higher Learning
Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
In fio?f? A7 tfie Hood writer-di-
rector John Singleton tapped into
the fear and pain associated with life
within a ghetto. By focusing on a
young black man as his main char-
acter, Singleton touched on many
issues but never lost his focus. He
also shaded his cautionary tale with
mixed hues instead of black and
white. Determining the villains in
Boyz N the Hood would depend on
each viewer's reaction to the film
because Singleton artfully included
ambiguity.
The promise of Singleton's
first film still seems to be only a
promise. With his third film, Higher
Learning, Singleton has the same
story to tell as in his first feature
but seems to have lost his artistic
sense. Rather than maintaining a
steady pace by focusing on a single
character, Singleton includes a bevy
of characters and in doing so loses
step with his audience. The ambi-
guity of his first film also gets left
behind as Higher Learning suc-
cumbs to the Oliver Stone school of
writing and directing: in order to
effectively hammer a point into the
viewer's mind, don't settle for a ball
peen hammer when a sledgehammer
will work just as well. The villains
in Higher Learning are clearly de-
fined, thus taking the burden off the
viewer's shoulder to decide for them-
selves who are the responsible par-
ties. The viewer is also kept from

feeling guilty. Amidst the ambigu-
ity of Boys N the Hood, the viewer
could feel that he is the villain, but
in Higher Learning the viewer sits
comfortably distanced from the
events on the screen because Single-
ton clearly identifies his antagonists.
Higher Learning unfolds on
the campus of fictional Columbus
University somewhere in Southern
California. The film begins by follow-
ing an incoming freshman class as
they orient themselves to college
and then ends sometime in the
middle of the term. By ending the
film mid-term, with only a few shots
of a December graduation, Single-
ton leaves the film without a real
conclusion: the film just seems to
end rather than conclude. Singleton
would have been better advised to
follow the term to conclusion rather
than build toward a climactic shoot-
ing incident on the quad.
The shooting incident high-
lights many of the problems with

Anyone who's grown tired of
their hum-drum beer-and-pizza-pol-
luted body pay close attention, be-
cause there may just be a way out of
it that's waiting for you.
Flex Appeal, a personal train-
ing service located across from
Hardbodies gym on the Evans St. Mall,
is ready and waiting to heip bum off
unwanted fat and build a leaner body
with a comprehensive nutrition and
exercise program geared for notice-
able results.
Bradley Cain, the owner and
operator of the business, said that he
was prompted to start Flex Appeal af-
ter he realized the benefits a personal
trainer can provide. Cain said that his
experience working with a trainer
when he began bodybuilding has been
invaluable.
'(Having a personal trainer) is
basically just like having a coach he
said. "You're not born knowing how
to play soccer and you
have to practice
when you play
basketball: the
same thing ap-
plies to work-
ing out.
Guys I
know
some-
times
equate
weightlifting with a lack of intelli-
gence, and they say 'I should know
how to throw weight around I'm not
saying that weightlifting is like rocket
science, but there are a lot of little
things you may never pick up on if
you are just in there doing things by
yourself.
Cain said that he feels he works
well with college students and said
that he still maintains a college-like
lifestyle, which he believes may give
him an advantage in under-
standing the obstacles
such clients may face in
making improve-
ments in their body
and overall health.
He also said that 80
percent of his clients
are female, and the
majority of them are
new to weight-training and
need a guiding hand to help
them train safely and effectively.
"We set people up on eight-
week programs where we train with
them four days a week and we'll have
a personal trainer with th '11 four
of those times. We help them get on
a diet and nutrition program that is
suited to where they're atwe go in
increments where they can leam how
to eat properly
Cain offers a number of pay-
ment programs for his service in or-
der to help students meet his fees. He
also accepts credit cards. He said,
however, that someone shouldn't pay
the money to start the program with-
out being willing to do the work in-
volved with making the program a
success.
"My program isn't based on
magical pills or any guarantees that
you'll lose 40 pounds in eight weeks
he said. "It's basically just good, sound
nutrition along with a good, solid work-
out program, and it works if you fol-
low it. It's a lot of hard work, but last
year I trained 71 people and never had
anyone ask for their money back. That
doesn't mean that I had 71 people
walking around looking like Mr. and
Mrs. Olympia. but the ones that made
dramatic improvements will be the first
to tell you that they did what I said

Todd Snider
Songs for the Daily
Planet
Trent Giardino
Staff Writer
This is just what the world
needs now - another folk singer. Todd
Snider's new CD. Songs for the Daily
Planet, is a mixture of folk and coun-
try sounds. The whole disc is one long
ballad of the same music and redun-
dant lyrics. Todd Snider's attempt to
capture the truths about life are me-
diocre at best; this is very predictable
stuff. When listening to the CD, it
seemed as though 1 knew what he was
going to say before he did. Snider's
style is very cliche, and it gets pretty
annoying after about three songs.
Songs for the Daily Planet can
best be described as radio music. Good
times, a few beers and being lurt by
women are a few of the brilliantly
original topics Todd sings about. This
album would be In the perfect atmo-
sphere if played at the Sports Pad or
any pool hall. "Trouble" talks about
how a woman's good looks are going
to get him into trouble. The second
cut is entitled "Easy Money in which
Todd talks about well, how he wants
to make some easy money. Wow, it's
so hard to find music that discusses
important or even relevant topics
these days and here is a man of the
times. 1 can really relate to his music
(yawn).
Perhaps the fact that this CD
was released on Margaritaville
Records explains why Snider sticks so
hard to the Buffet style of music. 1
can almost hear the man himself sing-
ing Todd's songs for him. A lot of har-
monica, acoustic guitars, hand slappin
and foot stompin make up this album.
Due to his weak vocals, none of the
songs rock hard enough to even men-
tion as a good song to listen to. The
rest of the songs are one big copy of
all the cliches in the world. "Turn It
Up" was Todd's last request for the
night, and according to his fifth song,
he's an "Alright Guy
The only thing that took me by
surprise was that there is a "ghost
track" after the last song. This was
the only tune 1 had heard by him be-
fore, called "Talkin Seattle Grunge
Rock Blues This hidden track pokes
fun at the Seattle music scene and

The East Carolinian
Highlander
Bugs called racist
Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
mmmmx' ' "
Connor McCloud, bom of the
Clan McCloud in the year 1586 and
doomed to walk the Earth for eter-
nity in a pair of bad Nikes.
In a nutshell, that's what the
Highlander films are all about. The
original Highlander is a great
movie, filled with sword fights and
centered around a cool premise.
Immortals live among us, able to
survive any wound except the re-
moval of the head. Over the course
of centuries they've been honing
their combat skills in preparation
for the Gathering, a grand final
battle that will leave only one im-
mortal alive and decide the fate of
mankind.
Of course, that final battle
happened in the first film, so you'd
think sequels would be out of the
question. But no, Hollywood made
us suffer through Highlander 2, a
film best forgotten by all; it may be
the worst sequel in movie history.
Now they've brought us High-
lander 3: the Final Dimension, and
we're suffering again.
The first 20 minutes are great
guns, though, with a flashback se-
quence set 400 years in the past.
The young Connor McCloud (Chris-
topher Lambert) wanders across
Europe and Asia to Japan, where
he meets up with an immortal sor-
cerer, played by neato Chinese char-
acter actor Mako, best-remembered
as Arnold Schwarzenegger's wiz-
ard companion in Conan the Bar-
barian. This sorcerer teaches our
hero Japanese sword-fighting tech-
niques and forges the weapon that
McCloud used in the original film.
Despite some choppy editing on a
rape-and-pillage sequence featuring
villainous immortal Kane (Mario
Van Peebles), this opening se-
quence is super-cool.
Unfortunately, the film as a
whole is for die-hard Mako fans
only, as Highlander 3 takes a quick
nose-dive as soon as the wizened
actor leaves the screen. Incredibly
sloppy editing ruins Mako's final
scene, as he is beheaded by Van
Peebles' Kane. The i word swings to-
ward Mako's neck, there's a cutting
noise, and the next thing we see is
Mako's headless body lying on the
floor.
That's right, they cut out the
beheading. The whole movie is
about cutting off people's heads,
and they cut out the beheading!
And it wasn't just once; they cut
every beheading in the film! What
were they thinking?
They were thinking about get-
ting a PG-13 rating is what they
were thinking. The producers de-
cided, apparently at the last minute,
to market this flick to a younger
age group. So the only hack-and-
slash you'll see in Highlander 3 is
in the editing. The problem is, con-
sidering that violence is inherent
to the film's concept, this decision
is ludicrous.
Anyway, as the film moves
into the present day it gets even
worse. Kane is imprisoned in the
sorcerer's stronghold for 400 years,
only to be released by excavation
for some sort of factory. The fac-
tory set looks like something out
of a Godzilla movie. The camera
focuses on it so much that 1 as-
sumed there'd be some point to the
ridiculous thing, but no. Like ev-
erything else in Highlander 3. it
was just empty stage dressing.
Equally empty are the char-
acters' relationships. McCloud has
adopted a son since the original
film that we barely see, yet are sup-
posed to care about when his life
is threatened. Later, McCloud sup-
posedly falls in love with an arche-
ologist who discovers his secret.
The only real backing his feelings
are given, however, is the fact that
she resembles someone he was in
love with during the French Revo-
lution. Now, there's a great basis
tor a relationship!
Other problems abound. Kane
inexplicably kills one of his immor-
tal henchmen immediately alter es-
caping into the modern world, ap-
parently just to prove to the audi-
ence how ruthless he is He just
spent 400 years trapped in a cave
with this guy! You figure he'd have
bumped the guy off a long time ago
if he wanted him dead that bad.
I'm not even going to go into
the inconsistencies with the ending
of the original film, which left
McCloud mortal and with the power
to see into men's minds or some
such nonsense.
I don't need to. because I
haven't mentioned the worst thing
about Highlander 3 yet. Once Kane
escapes from the cave, this film is a
virtual copy of the original. Van
Peebles has stolen Clancy Brown's
villain routine from the first film al-
most verbatim, leering and cackling
like a madman. He tracks McCloud
down, kidnaps his son (instead of
his girlfriend), and they have an ex-
plosive final battle in an abandoned
factory. The only tiling missing is
the Queen soundtrack, and consid-
ering the music they did choose.
Freddie Mercury would have been a
welcome intrusion.
This is a bad film, all the way
around. Forty minutes in. 1 was won-
dering how much trouble it would
he to sneak into the theater next
door to catch the end of The Ad-
ventures of Yellow Dog. Even if you
don't compare it to the wonderful
original, it stinks. Don't see it. Don't
rent it. Forget it ever happened.
Unless, of course, you really love
Mako.
Out of ten stars, Highlander
3: the h'inal Dimension rates a sad
two.

ence clearly detects the deception in
Singleton's story. The skinheads are
meant to represent the white author-
ity fostering the prejudice and rac-
ism in today's society. But skinheads
represent such a small, reactionary
segment of society - and rarely pose
a threat to campus harmony - that
Singleton seems to use them as a sim-
plistic substitute for more complex
racial problems. This simplification
disengages the viewer from the film
and keeps Singleton's point from be-
ing clearly made.

still make a million dollars. It is a
funny song, but it's about six or
seven months too late. The Seattle

Singleton works more effec-
tively when he exposes racism
through slight gestures as opposed
to gunshots. When a young, white
freshman female named Kristen

tor with a young black freshman male
named Malik (winningly played by

hands closer to her pocketbook caus-
ing Malik to roll his eyes. The slight
movement says more about racism
and sexism than many of the grandi-
ose gestures in the film. Singleton's

Todd Snider's Songs for the
Daily Planet failed to impress me
hoih musically and intellectually. If
folk-type country Jimmy Buffet style
music is your gig, then you might
want to check it out. But remember,
as Snider himself says. "Silence is
music's original alternative
small scene in the elevator works
with much greater force than the
large scale scene of the shooting.
The characters in Higher
Learning are all caricatures. One
weakness of Boyz X the Hood was
the stereotypical characters. Instead
of improving his character writing,
Singleton worsens it by making his
characters too simplistic. Malik is the
track star with an attitude; Kristen
is the white bread girl who experi-
ences confusion and pain about col-
lege: Deja (Tyra Banks) is an intelli-
gent black woman who tries to help
Malik only to suffer unjust .retribu-
tion for her efforts; Remy (Michael
Rappaport) is the confused loner who
becomes a skinhead; Fudge (Ice
Cube) is the vocal black activist sup-
posedly well-read and intelligent but
in his sixth year of school. Other ste-
reotypes exist in a soft-spoken,
friendly lesbian (Jennifer Connelly)
and a stately, wizened, bearded pro-
fessor of political science (Laurence
Fishburne).
Higher Learning still contains
many powerful moments and a strong
message that needs to be heard. But
the filmmaking decisions undercut
the raw power of the film. Singleton
makes the film seem like an adver-
tisement for his message rather than
a complex, interesting story contain-
ing strong opinions.
Singleton is still young. He may
yet live up to the promise of being
an artistic success. But with Higher
Learning, much like the students he
presents in his film, he is just coast-
ing.
On a scale of one to ten,
Higher Learning rates a six.

Bye Bye, Eddie!
Baseball season starts
Gary Overton
Aaron Wilson
Staff Writer
The 1995 ECU baseball team
will play it's first-ever, all-Division-
I schedule, highlighted by games
against ACC opponents North
Carolina, N.C. State, and Duke.
These games, plus playing in the
competitive CAA conference (rated
fifth best in country), represent
quite a challenge for head coach
Gary Overton's squad.
With 10 lettermen returning,
however, and 17 highly-touted new-
comers joining the program, they
should finish much higher than the
fifth place finish predicted for them
by several publications.
This prediction is based upon
the Pirates' loss of several out-
standing players to graduation and
the major league baseball draft.
Sophomore pitcher Michael Jacobs
was selected by the Boston Red Sox
in the 14th round.
Richie Blackwell and Johnny
Beck, who holds the all-time ECU
record for career strikeouts, were
drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates
and Philadelphia Phillies in the
17th and 34th rounds, respectively.
1994 All-CAA centerfielder
Jamie Borel, who broke the all-time
ECU stolen base records in a sea-
son (43) and for a career (61) was
drafted in the 29th round of the
amateur draft.
"We did lose five pitchers
that were an integral part of our
program last year Overton said.
"Our schedule is rated as one of
the best in the country. Three of
our conference opponents are pre-
dicted to be the best in some time.
Those two factors are the reason
we are only picked to finish fifth.
We do feel we are more than ca-
pable of finishing in the upper ech-
elon, but we will have to play good
baseball to do that
This year's team does have a
considerable amount of talent, led
by senior outfielder Brian Yerys.
Yerys played in all 54 games a year
ago after transferring from
Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College,
and finished "94 with a .364 bat-
ting average, led the team in RBI's
with 59 and led the team in total
bases with 119. The Charlotte, N.C.
native accomplished all of this, even
though he didn't play baseball un-
til his senior year at Providence
High School.
"The number one thing about
Brian Yerys is that he is a very-
tough competitor Overton said.
"That makes him a quality player
in itself. In addition, he is also the
most improved player on the team
in terms of strength, power and arm
strength. A very underrated part of
his game is his speed on the base
paths. All of these factors combine
to make him an. outstanding pros-
pect. Brian has proven he can com-
pete on the Division-1 level
Fellow outfielder Jason Head
also returns and provides leader-
ship and experience to this young
team. This is his third year as a
starter, hitting .313 last year and
finishing second on the team in
runs scored and doubles to gain
Second-Team All-CAA honors.
"Jason can hit anywhere in
the batting order and has played

In his seven years at ECU, Hart
played an integral part in shaping the
program. His emphasis on developing
the student-athlete, while molding the
athletics program into a contending
school with other I-A programs has
made Hart a great asset to ECU.
His implementation of the
"Great Pirate PurpleGold Pigskin
Pig-Out" increased the popularity
around spring football. Hart, who was
hired at ECU for his expertise in mar-
keting, also created the "Ain't It Great
to Tailgate" atmosphere for the foot-
ball program, bringing in some of the
largest crowds to Dowdy-Ficklen since
1983.
An emotional Hart thanked the
numerous people responsible for their
involvement with him and the athletic
department.
"Thank you to the media, thank
you to Chancellor Dick Eakin Hart
said, as he addressed everyone from
the faculty to the student body at the
press conference. "1 have a lot of fond
memories of East Carolina
His influence and insight will
be a great asset to Florida State, as
his departure from ECU will leave a
enormous space to fill.

Parham gives ECU
big win over Mason
Aaron Wilson
Staff Writer
East Carolina snapped a three-
game Colonial Athletic Association
losing streak when freshman point
guard Tony Parham hit a three-
pointer with iess than a second left
on the clock, giving the Pirates a
84-82 victory over CAA opponent
George Mason.
Parham caught the inbounds
pass fom Chuckie Robinson and
sprinted towards the middle of the
court before firing a off-balance
jump shot that found the square of
the backboard and banked in for the
win.
"I was kind of confused at first
because I looked up and saw the 35-
second clock still on Parham said.
"Then I looked over the top and saw
I had four seconds, so I was think-
ing to myself I had to get it over half
court and get a shot up. What I was
trying to do is draw a foul if I
couldn't make the shot, but it went
in
Mason took their first lead
since scoring the first bucket of the
game when Nate Langley hit a three-
pointer with 0:53 remaining to give
the Patriots a 82-81 lead.
Tony Parham turned the ball
over when he attempted to hit open
teammate Chuckie Robinson with a
pass on the baseline giving the Pa-
triots' possession with just over 40
seconds to go.
ECU head coach Eddie Payne
wanted his team to do anything but
foul Mason's hot shooting guard
Curtis McCants (25 points).
"Once they got the ball to
McCants, we just decided we would
get the ball back, no matter what
and we would just take our
chances Pirate head coach Eddie
Payne said. "I didn't necessarily
want to foul him. because I think
the way he was playing, he would
have knocked them in
McCants missed a open jump
shot and the Pirates rebounded, get-
ting the ball to Parham who hit the
winning shot.
"We were lucky, but Tony is
the type of athlete and has the type
of head which gives you a better
chance of being lucky Payne said.
The Pirates led by as many as
18 in the first half before letting Ma-
son dictate the pace of the game in
the second half, playing their up-
tempo style.
Senior center Anton Gill kept
ECU in the ball game when GMU
made their run. scoring 23 points
and grabbing 12 boards on the
night. Vic Hamilton added a career-
high 11 points and 10 rebounds in
only 15 minutes of action. Parham
scored 16 points, more than double
his average.
Parham has started all 22
games for the 14-8 (4-5 in CAA) Pi-

English guard
'loves to play in
front of a crowd
Drew Goettman
Staff Writer
(RS) -If you are searching
for challenging and ex-citing fun,
recreational services offers the
Adventure Program. Organized by
Steven Bobbitt, this semester's pro-
gram provides the fun and variety
of activities you may be looking for
in your free time.
As a new staff member,
Steven Bobbitt is in charge of the
entire Adventure Program. His cre-
dentials include an undergraduate
degree in education from Virginia
Tech, a degree in recreation for lei-
sure services from Radford Univer-
sity, and he has directed a small
parks and recreation department.
"The Adventure Program
is made of four semi-separate com-
ponents Bobbitt said.
The first component is the
Recreational Outdoor Center
(ROC). This is where camping, ca-
noeing and other outdoor equip-
ment can be rented at affordable
rates for faculty, staff and students.
The ROC is located downstairs in
the northeast corner of
Christenbury.
The second component con-
sists of adventure trips that are
offered throughout the year. Trips
this spring include backpacking,
canoeing, skiing, beach horseback

Lady Pirate fans have been
watching 5-foot-6 sophomore
Justine Allpress, from Barton-Un-
der-Needwood, England, show no
fear of shooting from the three-
point range. Then again, she ac-
tively cultivates her relationship
with those fans.
"I love to play in front of a
crowdAllpress said. "That's just
the way I am, probably a bit of a
performer
Allpress earned her starting
position at guard last month,
though she has played critical a
role on the team for the past 1 and
12 seasons.
"When she plays under con-
trol, we could ask for none better
ECU women's basketball head
coach Rosie Thompson said.
"She really can help us, be-
cause when she's playing real hard
on defense, she's a big plus' for
us Thompson continued. "In ad-
dition, when she takes her time on
her shots she's helped usl, because
she has sparked the team several
times with her outside shooting
Recruiting players from over-
seas is nothing new to the Lady Pi-
rates' program. Gaynor O'Donnell
(198993) still holds the Lady Pi-
rate career record in assists and
was the beginning of a link between
ECU and England's John Taylor
High School.
?She had an excellent three-
point shot Thompson said of her
first impressions. "Just the actual
shooting, in addition to knowing
Justine Allpress
how quick she was, you know, once
you get those two characteristics
combined, it makes for a fine bas-
ketball player
Moving from one continent to
another, certain adjustments are ex-
pected - but none of them were ma-
jor adjustments for Justine.
"At first, we thought just from
the fact of her coming over here
from England not knowing any-
body - but she mixed in real well
with the rest of the kids Thomp-
son said. "In fact, we've been
blessed that, once you become a
Lady Pirate, off the court, you're
sort of like a little family, and ev-
erybody gets along real well
"It was hard at first, being so
far away from home, being com-
pletely lost, not knowing what was
going on Allpress admitted. "The
adapting here was easy, just be-
cause everybody made me feel so
much at home
Allpress is an urban and re-
gional planning major - a relatively
unknown program.
I knew that with a degree in
geography there wasn't a great deal
of opportunity Allpress said. "I
spoke to some advisors to see what
sort of subject areas would be re-
lated to it. Through research. I
came up with urban and regional
planning. 1 applied to universities
in England, and I got offers from
places in England doing urban
studies and regional planning.
That's the main reason I'm in such
an obscure field
A further adjustment for
Allpress was the intensity of the
Lady Pirates' basketball program.
-Me playing basketball as
much as I've had to since I've been
here is so different from what I'm
used to Allpress said. "I'm used
to practicing maybe three nights a
week with my team. Here I've
never done strength and condition-
ing training until I came here the
whole thing with the weights, and
everything being so organized, it
was all new to me. I enjoyed the
experience. I liked that
As Allpress got used to the
Lady Pirates program, she became
more valuable to the team. During
her freshman year, she played in all
26 games, starting the last nine.
"Last year I really didn't have
any idea what to expect Allpress
said. "We played Alabama - they
were ranked in national polls. I
had no idea how a ranked team
plaved
By the end of the 1993-94
season, Allpress was averaging 6.8
points per game, and ranked sev-
enth in the CAA in three-point field
goals per game (1.2).
"This year. I've got an oppor-
tunity to get better, play better and
just make an impact Allpress said.
?1 want to be able to make plays in
the game to make the crowds go.

Overton said. "Even though he is
only a junior he should jgve us
outstanding leadership
At centerfield Jason DeHart
and Lance Tigyer are competing for
the starting position. DeHart, a
freshman from Pennsylvania, bat-
ted .475 and stole 20 bases last
year. Tigyer is a sophomore trans-
fer from Ball State University who
appeared in 36 games with 14
starts for the Cardinals. Coach
Overton regards DeHart as the
faster of the two, with Tigyer be-
ing the stronger of the two at the
plate.
The middle of the infield
should be a strong double-play
combo with Lamont Edvards start-
ing at second base and senior Chad
Puckett returning at shortstop.
Edwards was an All-State selection
at Clinton H.S earning all-confer-
ence honors in football, basketball
and baseball.
This past season he played in
40 games finishing with a .317 bat-
ting average. Edwards played for
the Arlington Senators in the Wash-
ington D.C. Summer League lead-
ing his team in batting average
(.360) and stolen bases (17).
"Lamont Edwards is a player
that has paid his dues Overton
said. "He was a backup player on a
outstanding 1993 squad. Last year
he proved he is a Division! hitter.
KMKMMNMHMHMBZMRnSMAMOflNMSXMHNHMNBM

Puckett is an outstanding
glove man who has improved con-
siderably at the plate. He set career
highs in every offensive category
this past season. The senior from
West Mecklenburg High School in
Charlotte is expected to only get
better in his third year as a full-
time starter.
At the corners, ECU will start
true freshman Derek Lindsay at
third base and Randy Rigsby at
first. Lindsay is a power hitter from
Virginia Beach who hit .430 this

is described by Coach Overton as a
sure fielder with a strong arm who
has only average speed.
Rigsby is an outstanding de-
fensive player from Goldsboro who
has been inconsistent at the plate
thus far in preseason workouts.
"Randy Rigsby. should he win
the starting job, is a very good de-
fensive player Overton said. "Kyle
BiUingsley has had a good pre-
season and is a little more of a of-
fensive threat but is not quite as
strong in the field as Randy. I may
platoon them at first
Bil'ingsley transferred a year
ago from Chaffey J.C. and played
in 46 games last season. He could
start at DH if he doesn't unseat
Rigsby for the starting position at
first. His younger brother Brent, a
pitcher, may see a lot of action this
year after redshirting this past sea-
son.
At catcher, the Pirates are led
by Travis Meyer, a junior transfer
who signed with Ohio State out of
high school. Meyer is described as
having the best arm in this program
since Philadelphia Phillies minor
league player Tommy Eason was
behind home plate. Meyer hit .387
with seven home runs this past sea-
son.
He is backed up strongly by
Tim Flaherty, a freshman from Mas-
sachusetts who hit .561 and gained
All-State honors a year ago.
The Pirate pitching staff does
return two seniors Billy Layton and
Jason Mills. Layton was 2-2 last year
with a 3.58 ERA and 31 strikeouts
a year ago, while Mills was 4-3 with
a 1.86 ERA and 43 strikeouts.
"They should be the strength
of the staff Overton said. "They
should be our best two pitchers, not
because they have the best arms,
but because they have the best con-
trol and vary their pitches the
best
Coach Overton signed several
talented pitchers who were selected
in last year's major league draft.
Patrick Dunham, a power pitcher
from Pontiac, Michigan, was se-
lected by the New York Yankees
along with Jason Elmore transfer
from Louisburg J.C.
They were drafted in the 24th
and 67th rounds, respectively. John
Payne, a four-year letterman at Ath-
ens Drive High School in Raleigh,
NC, was chosen in the 48th round
by the Florida Marlins after regis-
tering a 8-3 record last season. They
all- have superior arms but need
work on their consistency and con-
trol. With added experience, this
could potentially be Coach
Overtoil's best group ever.
Brent BiUingsley and transfer
Chad Newton from Brevard J.C. may
also compete for spots in the start-
ing rotation. Newton had a 8-1
record with eight saves and a 2.25
ERA breaking school and region
records for saves in a season.
Overton is ECU's all-time
winningest coach with 347 wins.
His .638 winning percentage is
among the top twenty of active
Division-I coaches. Under his lead-
ership this should not be a year of
rebuilding. With a 14-game stretch
before facing conference favorite
Old Dominion, the Pirates should
be able to get acclimated to play-
ing with several new teammates. If
this team is as good on the field as
it looks on paper, they should fin-
ish no lower than third in the con-
ference.

riding and much, much more. In ad-
dition to trips, workshops are also
offered.
Workshops include a Climbing
II Trip to Roxboro. North Carolina on
Feb. 25 and Climbing III Trip in
Linville Gorge March 31 to April 2. If
you are interested in these trips you

and staff, and community groups.
Due to growing demand, this is
a component that will be expanding
rapidly in the future.
The Adventure Program also
provides a resource center that has
books and videos with information
about a variety of outdoor opportu-
nities and activities. Recreational ser-
vices, once moved into the new recre-
ational facility hopes to get books,

Kareem
reflects
on NBA
(AP) - There's precious little room
in the slammin jammin voofIn' NBA ;
of the '90s for the sky hook. Even the .
man who originated that graceful and
effective shot Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. sees ,
its time is past
"Dr. J and Michael Jordan really
ruined it for all of us big guys Abdul-
Jabbar said. "Nobody wants to see some- .
body playing with their backs to the bas-
ket a
"People would rather look like ;
Michael Jordan on the highlight film than '
be seen shooting the sky hook. It's just
an element of style ?
The former Lakers star, who re-
turned to his hometown Tuesday to be '
honored as a Hall of Fame inductee, sees i
little similarity between the game he -
played for a record 20 seasons and the
role of today's centers like Orlando's ?
Shaquille O'Neal. y
Television has changed the face "
of the game. Abdul-Jabbar said.
"Certainly style over substance is
important now he said. "They didn't. J
have 'play of the day' when I was play-
ing
What hasn't changed: a dominat- :
ing center is still considered a ticket to ??
the NBA Finals.
Abdul-Jabbar, the NBAs leading '?
scorer with 38387 regular season points,
led Milwaukee to one title and the Lak-
ers to five more. That came after a col-
lege career in which he won three NCAA Z
championships under UCLA coach John
Woodea
"1 was able to beat one-on-one
coverage every time and shoot high-per-
centage shots that created a lot of stress j
on the defense he said. "That gave ev- ?:
erybody who played on the perimeter .
for the Lakers an extra step, and we were '
able to win consistently using that theory
of play.
"Nowadays, 1 don't see anybody f
that's in there able to score as consis- ,
tently as I did as far as shooting percent- fcj
age and getting good shots
Not even O'Neal, although Abdul-
Jabbar acknowledges that the muscular i
Magic center has developed his own '
dominating high-percentage game based i
on getting dunks off offensive rebounds. f
"I saw his rap video where he said .?
he don't need no hook, so I'm not gring
to offer him any advice Abdul-Jabbar
said. "It's too bad he doesn't have a shot
he can shoot against the double-team.
And free throws, I won't talk about free ?:
throws
So who does Abdul-Jabbar like
among today's dominating centers? '
Dikembe Mutombo, a center known
more for his shot-blocking defense than
his scoring.
"He's a great athlete and a team
player Abdul-Jabbar said. "People talk ,
about Robinson and Shaquille, and they
deserve all the ink they get but there f"
are different reasons to appreciate things, v
and Dikembe really impressed me
Now his life is consumed mainlyrj'j
by parenting a 15-year-old daughter andV
14-yearold son, and he has a television
and movie production company. But he's X
more interested than ever in getting back,
to basketball.
"I'm not against becoming in
volved in the game he said. "It doesn't j
matter what level. It would depend on
the offer
I
t
LADY from page 10
'That was just amazing' - make the (
pass that's going to get the crowd ?
on their feet, make the clutch three-
pointer. I just want to be able to, a
in crisis situations, be there to light i.
it up from the outside - to make
plays that are going to be remem-
bered. I don't want to be a player ,
that was an 'also-ran
"I was blessed with speed - I
was lucky that way Allpress said.
"I think I could utilize it a lot morel
to get more steals on defense. Right'
now, a lot of my offense is being
concentrated on. I'd like to also be
known as a defensive player
Allpress is also highly opti
mistic about the Lady Pirates ?.
through the rest of the season. ?
"A lot of teams have underes-
timated us Allpress said. "We've J
shown against conference opposi-3
tion that we can either beat them V
or stay with them. There's no team
out there that can really do to us
what they did to us last year. No '
body should underestimate us
