growth ECU is experiencing. Part of
Jhe campus's new capabilities include
2i fiber optic network which ill allow
;lhe university to be its own phone
: company with a 10,000 line switch-
" ing system. The network allows video
? transmissions and is linked with a new
.student database to help with faster
; jecord retrievals. Kiosk information
access machines will also begin to
appear around campus this fall.
The ECU Police Department re-
covered two bicycles stolen from their
front steps after an intensive investi-
gation which reached as far as Cali-
fornia.
June 7 - A new entrance is in
the works for campus. Two projects
were approved to begin construction
on an extension of College Hill next

senate in trying to publish the evalu-
ations for student use.
July 12 ? Minority scholarships

A phone bandit rang alarm
across campus last week, prompt-
ing computing and information sys-
tems employees to send out a cam-
pus-wide message via E-mail.
"We have an individual who
has been calling several depart-
ments on campus and identifying
himself as an AT&T technician and
asking to be transfer) ed to an of-
fice campus operator the message
stated. "This person has also been

corded in Spanish as a lead in as

"The announcement is actually

ECU's telecommunications de-
partment spent a week working
with Carolina Telephone and'
AT&T's security divisions tracing
the call to a penetentiary in New
Jersey.
"We've been able to stop it
said Thorn Lamb, associate direc-
tor of systems and communications.
"We've spent a lot of time and ef-
fort in tracking the individual it
cost us in time and productivity
The pay phone located in the
penitentiary will no longer be able
to make collect calls to the 919 area
code.
"We had to go through some
legal and policy issues in New Jer-
sey to get their telephone company
to actually block calls from that
prison
Lamb said that prison pay
phones are not regulated, so track-
ing the calls to an individual per-
son was not possible.
. "What would they do, put him
in jail?" Lamb asked. "This indi-
vidual, I'd say he's pretty intelli-
gent
Lamb said it is common for
penetentiaries to have automated
bilingual phone systems. He said
the phone calls should no longer
be a problem for ECU.
Lamb said he does not remem-
ber anything like this happening at
ECU before, but believes it has hap-
pened at other universities.
Appalachan University experi-
enced similar problems around
three years ago, when an inmate
from central prison called with the
same fraud. Officials at the school
were also able to stop the caller
within a matter of days.

Telemedicine
saves money
ECU School of
Medicine reaches
rural areas, prisons
Stewart King
Staff Writer
Frequent visits to the doctor
caused by unknown ailments may
soon be a thing of the past due to
recent leaps in medical technology.
Prison populations and many
rural areas are already benefiting
from a new telemedicine program
implemented by
the Center of
Health and Com-
munication right
here at ECU.
The North
Carolina Depart-
ment of Correc-
tions first ap-
proached UNC
Chapel Hill with
the concept of
medical screening
for potentially
dangerous in-
mates using mod-
ern telecommuni-
cations.
"They didn't want to do it said
David Balch, director for the Center
of Health and Communications. "And
I'm happy that we did do it because
it gave us the experience to build the
program
The consultations are done over
a high speed phone line called a T-l
which is the equivalent of 24 regular
phone lines combined. The equip-
ment is costly, so don't hurt your eyes
looking for it too soon.
"There are economics of scale
Balch said. "And as more and more
people are doing telemedicine, the
tools will get smaller, more developed
and cheaper, and yes - I think one
day, in the future, that a lot of people
will have links in their home
Small town family practitioners
need not worry about loss of revenue.
Tele-links will make their jobs easier
as well as more efficient People in
rural areas will be able to consult
with ECU, determining whether the
need of a lengthy and costly trip to
Greenville is actually necessary,
Balch said.
Balch admitted he was worried
about how patients would react at
first to the relatively impersonal na-
ture of the system, which includes
simultaneous audio and video links.
In other words, patients are sur-
rounded by electronic equipment
during their examinations.
"We were surprised to find
people like it, out of 500 patients,
only one has not liked it they're
getting the phy-

ECU is cur-
rently linked to
hospitals in
Williamston and
Ahoskie, and
will have links
in Belhaven,
Edenton and
Faison within
the month.
Balch
stressed that
the system,
"does not fit for all medical situa-
tions but they are working on new
applications for the technology, in-
cluding psychiatry.
During its inception in 1991,
the project was strictly a prison op-
eration. The cost of transporting an
inmate to see a doctor is approxi-
mately $700 compared to $75 for a
telemedicine consultation, saving
the state (and taxpayers) a consid-
erable sum.
In the past four years, expan-
sion has changed the face of the pro-
gram.
"It's much more than a prison
project, it's turning into a rural
telemedicine project Balch said.
Beyond the exploitation of new
technology, Balch said, the real im-
portance lies in, "making the deliv-
ery of health care more efficient"

Around the State
(AP) - There was some-
thing feline about Hurricane
Felix, and it wasn't just the
name. Like a housecat, it went
its own way, dawdled when it
felt like it and toyed with those
it cornered.
What it never did was
pounce.
Felix stalked the Outer
Banks of North Carolina for the
better part of the week, hover-
ing menacingly offshore and
spinning off vicious waves and
sultry winds. Forecasters on
Friday gave it only a six percent
chance of hitting Cape Hatteras
through the weekend.
(AP) - Two instructors ac-
cused of sexual misconduct
with their students have re-
signed from the N.C. School of
the Arts.
Richard Kuch and Richard
Gain stepped down Thursday
just days before a faculty com-
mittee was scheduled to hear
evidence against them. On
Wednesday, the head of the
UNC Board of Governors said
he would appoint a special com-
mission to investigate allega-
tions of misconduct at the
school.
Around the Country
(AP) - Although Shannon
Faulkner is no longer in the
fray, the battle continues over
women in the all-male corps of
cadets at The Citadel.
Ms. Faulkner announced
Friday she was withdrawing as
the first female cadet in the
military college's 152-year his-
tory because of the stress of her
2 12-year court fight to get in,
and her isolation as the only
woman among 2,000 male ca-
dets. But as John Banzhaf, a
law professor at George Wash-
ington University, pointed out
She did get in.
(AP) - A moderate college
president who called on
Lutherans to be active in a
world starved on "spiritual junk
food" was elected Saturday to
lead the nation's fifth-largest
Protestant denomination.
The Rev. H. George Ander-
son, president of Luther Col-
lege in Decorah, Iowa, received
698 votes to become only the
second presiding bishop in the
short history of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church in
America.
He defeated Wisconsin
Bishop April Ulring Larson, the
denomination's first woman
prelate. She received 334 votes
at the church's biennial assem-
bly.
Around the World
(AP) - Three top U.S. dip-
lomats heading to peace talks
in Sarajevo, Bosnia-
Herzegovina were killed Satur-
day when their armored vehicle
plunged 100 yards off a muddy
road, hit two land mines and
exploded.
A French peacekeeper was
also killed in the accident, and
five people were injured: three
Americans and two French
peacekeepers.
(AP) - Computer hackers
broke the security on a
Citibank cash management sys-
tem and stole nearly $400,000
before being detected, the
bank said Friday.
The hackers, including a
Russian math graduate, then
attempted to transfer another
$2.8 million out of Citibank
accounts into other banks.

On the upcoming football season
"I look forward to the season and I believe that we will have one
of the best teams we have had in a number of years. They will face a
very difficult set of teams in September that will be quite a trial for
them to play four teams that are ranked in the top 30, but 1 hope that
the tans will give them their support. Steve Logan and his staff have
assembled a very fine team
On the resumed rivalries with NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill
"That is of course something that has brought a new sense of
enthusiasm to our athletics program generally but clearly to
ball program.
On the newly compiled Board of Visitors
"The Board of Trustees clearly represent the public and they bring
to us that public perceptions. They have a governance rule. The board
of visitors play a very similar role, albeit they do not havi
nance role. It gives us a much broader spectrum of tlu . i
lie
On the Shared Visions campaign
The campaign will continue through 1995. Thus far the campaign
has surpassed its goal of $50 million. Today, nearly $60 million has
been raised.
"After $50 million our plan was to get funding for things that
had not been funded fully or had not been funded at all. Mfe continue
in that effort; however, people, when they give their money to the
university many times will have an objective that may not match
of those additional programs
On the library construction
"The library is about five weeks behind schedule, although 1 was
told the contractor believes he can make up that time. There is rea-
son to be encouraged by that ascertion tha.t he can make up the time
because, at an earlier time in the process, they fell way behind and
made it up. If they did make up the time then the addition would be
finished in December. That would be greatly to our advantage be-
cause that would allow us to transfer materials as students! are at
home celebrating the holidays
On the new fiberoptic network
"As with any complicated system like this, it's like bringing up a
telephone system for a town or city, so with any of those kind of
situations we've had some problems - we've been overcoming them.
We may have some more as students arrive in their residence halls
and as faculty come back to their offices. There may be another week
or two of correcting. We had some difficulties when we brought up
the new mainframe computer in terms of response time. We have re-
sponded to that by increasing the size of the central processing unit

f?e fast Carolinian
Upperclassmen lend a hand
Miriam Brooks
Staff Writer
Incoming freshmen were wel-
comed to campus this week by 500
juniors and seniors who volun-
teered to show them the ropes
through ECU's new Safety Net
Mentor Program.
The Safety
Net Mentor Pro-
gram is a newly de-
veloped plan de-
signed to help
freshmen adjust to
campus life during
the first six weeks
of school.
Dean of Un-
dergraduate Stud-
ies Dorothy Muiler
said these first
weeks are often
the most difficult
transitional period
for freshmen. Of
the 2,500 incom-
ing freshmen who were given the
opportunity to participate in this
program, 800 have chosen to be
mentees.
The National Leadership
Honor Society Omicron Delta
Kappa, undergraduate studies and
Freshmen Year Experience teamed
together to make the program a
reality.
Freshmen were randomly
matched with juniors and seniors.
The original plan was to pair fresh-
men with mentors based on simi-
lar interests, however there are only
500 mentors for 800 freshmen so a
number of mentors will have more
than one mentee.
The program's purpose is to
provide freshmen with role models
who encourage academic success,
Muiler said. In
addition, men-
tors will help
freshmen ad-
just to their
first taste of
life at ECU.
Depending on
the interests of
the mentee,
mentors will
also give them
an introduc-
tion to the va-
riety of cam-
pus activities,
organizations
and programs
ECU has to offer.
"We are asking the mentors to
contact the mentees in early August
and to send them a letter welcom-
ing them to campus said Lisa
Shibley, director of Student Lead-
ership Development. "In the first
few days, the mentors are expected
to check on freshmen to see how
they are getting settled in, and pos-
sibly show them where their classes
"Nationally, I
think there is a
concern about
retention and
graduation rates"
? Dorothy Muiler, deaji of
undergraduate studies
might be or go to the bookstore and
help them figure out how to pick
out books
Mentors should stay in touch
with mentees for the first few weeks
of school in order to answer any
questions the mentee may have or
refer them to appropriate re-
sources. Mentors underwent a
training program designed to pre-
pare them to guide freshmen and
ensure that all information given
to the newcomers is correct.
Muiler emphasized that while
academics is a top priority of the
program, getting students involved
in non-academic university activi-
ties is important as well.
"The idea is that if you are not
only participating in the academic
program, but also belong to an or-
ganization or engage in some rec-
reational activity, it helps you with
your identity at this institution and
gives you more direction Muiler
said.
The impetus for this program
came from a variety of sources.
"Nationally, I think there is a
concern about retention and gradu-
ation rates Muiler said. "There is
also a need to get students to fo-
cus early on so that they don't get
behind
In addition, students them-
selves have voiced the opinion that
there should have been more sup-
port available to them when they
entered the university as freshmen.

ECU is making history this year
since it reached the Shared Visions
goal, added the millionth volume to
the Joyner Library collection and has
now named a single professor the re-
cipient of three distinguished awards.
Dr. Lester A. Zeager, an associ-
ate professor of economics, was rec-
ognized yesterday by winning two of
the university's top awards, as well as
one of the highest awards bestowed
by the University of North Carolina
Board of Governors.
"How wonderful that one profes-
sor would be honored in three sepa-
rate occasions said Chancellor Rich-
ard R. Eakin. "That is a real tribute
to his fine performance and something
that is virtually unheard of
Zeager, who began his teaching
stint at ECU in 1986, was awarded the
ECU Alumni Teaching Excellence
Award and a College of Arts and Sci-
ences College Research Award. He was
further awarded the Board of Gover-
nors Award for Excellence in Teach-
ing.
"To have won one award in an
honor; to have won two awards on the
same day is almost unheard of; but to
have won three awards .on the same
day is unparalleled in tne history of
East Carolina University said Dr.
Carolyn Hampton, associate dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences.
Zeager, who received his Ph.D. in
1987 from the University of Pitts-
burgh, credits his success to the pres-
ence of others who demonstrate teach-
ing excellence like Dr. Marjorie
Baldwin, who also won the Alumni
Teaching Excellence Award.
Zeager's interests include labor
economics, development economics,
public finance, poverty comparisons,
labor migration and work disabilities.
He regularly publishes in refereed
journals.
"The comments of referees send
me to new sources he said. "Often 1
have an initial fear about learning
something new - and this is some-
thing students face when confronted
with something new. 1 show them by
example that if I can do it, they can
do it, too
Zeager focuses his teaching con-
tent on preparing his students for life
after school.
"Everyone here - faculty, staff,
students - has benefited from this
unique and gifted teacher and
scholar Hampton said.

now that Dr. Tinsley Eugene
Yarbrough has been named the East
Carolina University Arts and Sciences
Distinguished Professor.
Yarbrough, a political science
professor, who is currently serving as
interim vice chancellor for academic
affairs, was presented the award yes-
terday during the College of Arts and
Sciences Fall Convocation. Dr. W.
Keats Sparrow, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, said the award
is "well deserved
"He's a gifted teacher, an ener-
getic and caretul researcher, a highly
capable writer and a dedicated servant
of the university and his profession
Sparrow said.
Sparrow said the award recog-
nizes a full professor in the College
of Arts and Sciences who has shown
remarkable commitment to academ-
ics, "demonstrated by outstanding
teaching and advising, research and
creative productivity and professional
service
A plaque in the office of the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences will bear
Yarbrough's name along with that of
Dr. Stan Riggs of the geology depart-
ment, the first recipient of the award.
A public lecture will be given in
Yarbrough's honor on Oct 23, fol-
lowed by a reception hosted by the
College Office and Phi Beta Kappa.

that CAD was donated to the depart-

New systems save time
Jon Beckert
Staff Writer
The ECU Police Department has
a new edge in their service to cam-
pus.
The most significant part ot this
edge is the police department's new
enhanced 911 system Installed four
weeks ago by ECU Telecommunica-
tions, the new system has been fully
online tor over thiee weeks.
Mary Patterson. a
telecommunicator with ECU Police.
recalls how the old system worked.
"We always had access to the
county's 911 database, but with the
liber optics change that just went on
a tew weeks ago. we became the an-
swering point tor 9 1 Patterson said.
Previously, when you dialed 911. it
went through the Pitt County com
munications, which is at the court
house, and there was some delay while
they tried to screen the call, and find
out what area the call was from, and
who they needed to route it to. and
then they call the agency that was
supposed to receive the call, and
you're wasting minutes. Also, you can
lose the person during the transfer.

Old halls get a new look
Joann Reed
Staff Writer
After two years of extensive reno-
vations. Slay and Umstead residence
halls are open for business this fall.
The renovation of the two dorms,
funded solely by the university hous-
ing department, cost a little over $6
million to complete, and another
$700,000 was spent buying furniture for
the buildings.
According to Manny Amaro, direc-
tor of ECU's housing department, both
Slay and Umstead residence halls were
badly in need of renovation. That
coupled with the presence of asbestos
in both dorms, caused the housing de-
partment to choose those buildings for
renovation.
"We basically gutted both buildings
and totally rebuilt the insides Amaro
said. "All asbestos was removed from
both dorms before demolition on the
buildings even started
Both Slay and Umstead are double
occupancy, coed dorms. All rooms have
individually controlled air-conditioning
units.
"These air-conditioning units,
along with room furniture that is not
bolted to the floor, give the residence
more control over their living environ-
ment Amaro said. "They will be able
to rearrange their rooms and keep them
at whatever temperature they like.
Along with the new furnishings,
Umstead has a fully equipped, staffed
computer lab for the residents of the
two dorms.
"The computer lab has 8 Mac's, 8
IBM's, and will be fully staffed so that
students can get help if they have any
problems with anything or need any
questions answered Amaro said.
In addition to the renovations on
Slay and Umstead, university housing
has been busy making improvements
all over campus. They have remodeled
and plan to open all three community
service desks on campus.
"These desks provide a center
where students can do room changes,
get keys if they are locked out and re-
ceive packages without having to come
all the way to the housing office Amaro

According to Amaro, university
housing would like to recognize the
three neighborhoods on campus. The
college hill committee will be repre-
sented by the service desk in Aycock.
West campus has its community service
desk in Fletcher, and central campus,
including Slay and Umstead. has a ser-
vice desk in Cotten.
Dining serves
healthy food
Amy Roberts
Staff Writer
ECU Dining Services is starting the
new school year focused on nutrition and
improvements for students.
New programs will include a new
19 meal plan that will work the same
wav as the 9 and 14 meal plans.
Along with the new plan is a new
increased equivalency plan, for students
with meal plans who want to use a meal
when eating at places such as The Wright
Place, Croatan or The Spot Each of
these places will offer a variety of value
meals that the student can choose from.
Meals have been priced specifically to
meet the $2 breakfast equivalent and the
$3 lunch equivalent
Over at Todd and Mendenhall din-
ing halls, students can look forward to
new weekly specials.
"Specials will include items not
found on the regular menu that will not
be repeated during the semester said
Frank Salamon, director of Dining Ser-
vices.
Special programs such as premium
night and candlelight dining will con-
tinue, along with a new buffet style night
Dining Services Registered Dietitian
Laura Hartung will continue the Treat
Yourself Right Program by offering work-
shops on food preparation and tech-
niques. Foods with the Treat Yourself
Right label meet American Heart Asso-
ciation Guidelines for healthy eating.
"Our goal is to see Treat Yourself
Right items available in all locations at
all times Salamon said.
Last year, Dining Services had an
exciting change with the opening of Todd
Dining Hall. Their next big project is the
expansion of the Wright Place. Construc-
tion will begin at the end of the spring
semester. Seating will be increased and
the serving area will be modified for more
convenience, Salamon said.
Dining Services is interested in stu-
dent feedback
"We encourage students as often
as possible to let us know how we are
doing Salamon said.
Students should feel free to talk to
the managers and fill out the comment
cards.

Jobs only a phone call away
Catrese G.
Staff Writer
Richardson
In the new era of government cut-
backs, college students may find them-
selves without sufficient spending cash.
In fact, most students will have to be
plunged into the job market
Luckily, at ECU, there are many
avenues students may explore in order
to find employment
"Begin doing some career plan-
ning as early as possible in your col-
lege career said Margie Swartout,
assistant director of Career Services.
She also recommends that students get
involved in school activities and keep
academic performance at an acceptable
level.
The Cooperative Education Pro-
gram could be the ideal way for many
students to find the perfect job oppor-
tunity. The co-op program is offered
by the university, and it places students
in certain areas of employment using
the student's major as a guide.
If a student wishes to acquire a
position through coop, he or she must
first attend one of many co-op semi-
nars offered throughout the regular
school year and during the summer.
911
from page 10
"Now when you dial 911, it comes
directly to the police department, if
you're on campus
Patterson said this is an en-
hanced 911 system, with several at-
tractive features built into it Two of
these features are ANI (automatic
number identifier) and ALI (automatic
location identifier).
"Now when a person calls 911, it
automatically displays the location
and the phone number they're call-
ing from Patterson said. "Before,
that didn't happen, and you had to
screen the call to find where they
were
The new system works well with
CAD (Computer Aided Dispatching),
a computer system that was installed
on June 12 by Visions Software staff.
CAD is a system of databases provid-
ing a wide range of information, from
medical histories of callers, to the lo-
cations of hazardous waste materials
around campus. Patterson gave an
example of how the enhanced 911 and
CAD are used in conjunction.
"If we got a call at a certain num-
ber, you're able to interface and bring
in that 911 call on the computer
Patterson said. "If we have medical
information on someone at that loca-
tion, it will flash on the screen an "M"
for medical, and we can pull up what
it is, like if this is a diabetic, or they're
allergic to certain medicines. We can
then give that information to the re-
sponders
The entire system is manned by
Patterson and four other full-time
telecommunicators, as well as one
part-time telecommunicator. During
the summer, they answer an average
of 53 calls a day. In the fall, that num-
ber is expected to jump to 200.
Patterson said they also have an
additional edge - all of the
telecommunicators became Emer-
gency Medical Dispatch certified early
in May. According to Patterson, they
are the only EMD certified communi-
cations department in Pitt County.
Patterson explained what this means.
"If you called me, and you said
that a person had stopped breathing,
I can talk you through CPR, or
whatever's necessary ? delivering a
baby, any number of medical emergen-
cies Patterson said. "We car. now
give you the instructions of what to
do with that person on the phone,
where before, that person would lay
there not breathing until rescue got
there
One aspect of the new system
remains incomplete, the CAD medical
database. Patterson said that all stu-
dents and faculty should provide any
useful medical information that they
can to the police department.
"It's real important for students
to know that if they're hearing im-
paired, diabetic or have any other
medical conditions, allergies, that it's
likely we might have a rescue call with
them Patterson said. "We really need
their medical information in order to
be able to serve them better. It's vol-
untary, it's not released to the pub-
lic
People wishing to provide medi-
cal information can direct it to Mary
Patterson through campus mail. Any
questions regarding this can be di-
rected to Mary Patterson at 328-6787.
The seminar allows the person seek-
ing employment to become more in-
formed about how co-op works and
how he or she should go about find-
ing employment After the student has
found an interesting position, a coop
coordinator will help the student for-
mally apply for the position. A formal
resume is needed and an interview may
be required.
There are three types of co-op
employment students will have to
choose from according to his or her
personal preference. Alternating is the
first choice. If a student chooses alter-
nating, the student will be a fuil-time
student for one semester and the next,
he or she will work at his assigned
position full-time.
Parallel is the second choice and
it allows the student to go to school
full-time and work part-time at his or
her assigned job. The last choice is
summer only in which the student only
works during the summer.
If there are no positions available
for a student in the Greenville area, he
or she may be placed in another
county, a neighboring state or clear
across the country. Salaries can range
anywhere from minimum wage to a
whopping $18 per hour.

comer of Jarvis and Fifth street, could

also help students find jobs, especially
seniors. Career Services sponsors work-
shops on information such as inteview
skills and effective resume writing. The
program also sponsors three career
days each year where students may talk
with potential employers.
To go even further, Career Ser-
vices puts seniors in touch with em-
ployers and sets up interviews for the
students on campus.
Seniors should register for Career
Services as early as possible during
their senior year. Students register by
attending a Career Services orienta-
tion, the first three of which will be
held on Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. and 5:15
p.m and Aug. 25 at 4 p.m. The orien-
tation ceremonies will be held in the
Jenkins Auditorium.
If neither co-op nor Career Ser-
vices is the answer for the student he
or she can still check out the job op-
portunities boards in Brewster and the
Financial Aid office. Most of the jobs
listed on the boards are jobs that can
be found on campus. Newspapers nury
also be a successful route to finding
employment

eliminate those vital seconds between
life and death before rescue vehicles
arrive on the scene.
Another effort to improve the
safety of officers and the students they
deal with resulted in the purchase of
equipment to prevent the transmis-
sion of blood-borne pathogens. New
security cages, screens and plastic
seats in most of the patrol vehicles
provide the most visible signs of this
new effort.
"We have spent thousands of
dollars getting equipment that is cru-
cial in officer safety Crocker said.
"Without this equipment, we could
face stiff fines if found in violation
According to Crocker, another
major step toward providing better
service to the campus has occurred
with the increase of hours spent in
working events for different groups
on campus and training.
"This increase is important be-

cause it tells people that we're here
not only 12 hours a day, 40 hours a
week Crocker said. "It shows we're
doing other things as well
According to statistics provided
by the department, officers have spent
3,682 hours in training, 3.639 hours
working special events and have pro-
vided 57 Crime Prevention programs
to the residence halls in the past year.
With the advent of the fall semes-
ter, students will also see an increase
in the amount of bicycle officers on
patrol. Since last spring, four new bi-
cycles have been purchased and two
new bicycle officers will be added
when current vacancies are filled.
"The bicycle patrol allows stu-
dents easy access to an officer Lt.
Johnny Umphlet said. "Officers are
able to interact with students on a
more frequent basis
Bicycle officers also work sepa-
rate shift hours from officers in ve-
hicles which allow them to be on cam-
pus during peak times of the day and
night.
"hough the department has ac-
cc ipiished much this past year, it is
looking towards the future as well.
Crocker said the officer liaison pro-
gram that was started last year has
progressed and expanded to provide
better services. This will be most ap-
parent in the Operation ID program
and bicycle registration that will oc-
cur during move-in to the residence
halls.
"Our goal is to register 8,000 bi-
cycles and I.D. at least 50 percent of
property in the residence halls
Crocker said.
One last major goal in the future
will be the renovation of the existing
Police Department building, which
will affect the upgrading of the tele-
communications division. Crocker said
that with the move of the division to
another part of the building, individu-
als will have easier access and the di-
vision itself will become more cus-
tomer-oriented.
"I want to bring telecommunica-
tions into the "90s Crocker said.

The East Carolinian
Our View
While you're
home sleeping
or downtown
partying, the
staff of The
East
Carolinian is
hard at work
producing a
paper full of
the latest in
news,
ifestyles,
sports and
commentary.
Pick us up!
We're
available
every Tuesday
and Thursday.
By the students and for the students - The East Carolin-
ian.
The student paper celebrates its 70th year of publication
this fall, and thanks to students, we're still going strong. We
give thanks to not only the students who read TEC, but to the
students who spend endless hours running it.
We stay late and rise early to make sure this publication is
the best it can be, and yes, we make mistakes - that goes along
with the learning experience we gain by working for the news-
paper. We have exams and parties to attend just like anyone
else, but TEC gives us an extra identity with campus. We al-
ways look forward to seeing new faces and you never know,
you could be next
TEC News always aims to get the scoop (sometimes suc-
ceeding and other times not). The news section features every-
thing from the latest hard news to students faculty profiles
and the never-ending construction projects. If anything inter-
esting happens, we'll tell you. And if YOU see anything hap-
pening that students should know about please call us any-
time (we have voice-mail).
Lifestyles is so cool, it might as well be an ice cube. The
Lifestyles section can tell you anything from what the local
sound sounds like, to what free movies are playing at Hendrix
Theater. Not only do they write restaurant, CD and book re-
views, Lifestyles gives you the extra twist you may need to
stay hip with college life.
The sports department is currently in transition, but will
always be a favorite to any Pirate fan. Our football tabloid is
better than others because our writers are students, just like
our athletes. You'll find our Sports' writers on the gridiron,
the track, the diamond, the Frisbee golf field or anywhere else
athletics may be occurring. Look for the tabloid in TEC before
any home football game.
Once upon a time, someone suggested doing away with
Pirate Comics - we think not Local artists pour their hearts
into these sillies and will continue to do so every Thursday.
Our comics are sure to make eyes roll if nothing else, and
some will certainly be sucked in by the complex and mysteri-
ous storylines. Don't miss any editions or you may not be able
to catch up.
Advertising holds the place together, along with our secre-
tary Deborah. Our ad reps worked through the sweltering heat
for weeks in order to find the great deals our Back-to-School
issue offers. TECs ad department is currently under construc-
tion (like the rest of our building), and now boasts beepers in
addition to their new fiber optic phone system.
Without our production manager, there would be no TEC.
She takes everything we give her and fits it all together like a
great big puzzle.
Don't forget to check out our classifieds and announce-
ments section. If you need a roommate, have something to sell
or want to send your sweetie a personal, TEC Classifieds is
the place to advertise. We're not free, but we're cheap.
Enough patting ourselves on the back, TEC employees will
continue to work for students for the next 70 years and hope-
fully, longer. We don't try to compete with other publications
because we don't need to. The students are our audience and
as long as we're in print we'll cater to you - that's our job.
If you'd like to learn more about TEC give us a call at 328-
6366 or stop by the Student Publications building (acrbss from
Joyner Library). We are always in the need of more employees
(we pay). And hey - how else can you get a chance to meet the
chancellor?
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
To all new students, welcome. I
hope you find ECU to be an enjoy-
able place to further your education.
Many projects are currently under-
way to enhance our fine university
aad the rewards of this hard work
are becoming more visible with each
passing day. The soon to be com-
pleted Student Recreation Center
and expansions of Joyner Library
and Ficklen Stadium will undoubt-
edly have a great deal of positive
impact
One of the most exciting recent
accomplishments is the commitment
of ECU, NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill
to engage in an ongoing football se-
ries. We can also look forward to
recognition for research performed
at the soon to be construction heart
and cancer research center at Uni-
versity Medical Center. As a gradu-
ate student, I have had ample op-
portunity to notice that all of these
accomplishments and many more
have something in common, Sena-
tor Ed Warren.
Senator Warren has continually
fought against tuition increases and
has striven to gain and retain much
threatened university funding. Since
the current legislative climate has
proven very detrimental to all 16
campuses in the North Carolina uni-
versity system, it remains even more
imperative that ECU maintain zeal-
ous representation in the North
Carolina legislature. Senator Warren
has served as a long-standing driv-
ing force for the advancement of
ECU in every realm. From funding
for new academic facilities that en-
hance the academic reputation of
ECU to being an ardent supporter
of the athletic program creating ever
widening national exposure, Sena-
tor Warren deserves a salute as a
champion of progress for ECU.

Party school image
no laughing matter
The chances are at least once you
have probably heard of East Carolina
being called the "party school I can't
tell you how many times I've told
friends from home or other places
where I was going to college only to
have them immediately smile and say
All right! ECU! Party
People obviously have this men-
tal picture in their minds of ECU be-
ing something like the baths of an-
cient Rome, where all of the students
here are either engaged in constant
pornographic debauchery or dancing
and stumbling through the streets,
day and night, in a drunken revelry.
Of all other schools in this state
and in the southeast, for that matter,
people have an image of ECU as just
being a party school, a place to go for
a few years to just blow off life and
waste your time in college in a
drunken, drug-induced haze. And you
know really that should make you very
mad. even the freshmen, because it is
a false image, and it hurts all of us,
each one of us. from graduating se-
niors and graduate students to the
incoming freshmen. All you have to
do is think about it for a second and
you'll understand why.
Walk around ECU's campus by
day and you see a bustling, busy uni-
versity like any other. Talk to ECU
students and you will hear from
people who are serious about what
they're doing, who are either looking
for some course or direction in life or
who are working very hard to excel
Patrick Hinson
Opinion Columnist
It's up to you
now. No one's
going to do
anything for you
around here.
here and get the things out of life that
they want. Talk to any professor here
and you will no doubt meet someone
who is genuinely interested in help-
ing you with your work, in listening
to your questions and your ideas, and
in helping you to find the direction
you're looking for.
One thing that I think is unique
about East Carolina is that this is a
big school that often feels like a small
one, because you can get to know your
faculty here and the other students
around you, and you can easily get in-
volved in many different things here,
both in the university and the commu-
nity. But you need to keep one thing
in mind: it's up to you now. No one's
going to do anything for you around
here. This is what college is all about
learning to take your life into your own
hands and do something with it You've
got the ball; it's time to run with it
This is a university that has been
working hard for many years to im-
prove itself, and you can see that ev-
ery day and in many ways. The party
school image is an anachronism, and
it's perpetuated by the same biased
idiots who write us up continuously in
The News and Observer and other
newspapers trying to make ECU sound
like a bunch of lurching Neanderthals
compared to the other colleges in
North Carolina.
All I'm saying is just look around.
Look at our students, our faculty, our
programs, departments and schools, at
our hospital and medical school, just
take a look at ECU in 1995 and decide
for yourself if the party thing is a myth
or not That's something that maybe
went on in the 70s and early '80s
people, but it's a thing of the past
Go to any other college in North
Carolina, or any college anywhere, for
that matter, and you'll see they all party
just as much, just as hard, and they
get in trouble about as often and for
the same things. We need to do away
with this crippling, false image of our
university. It's going to put you behind
other college graduates someday when
you're out of here and desperate for a
job. You don't want your interviewer
to laugh at you and say "All right! ECU!
Whooo and flash the surfer "hang
loose" sign at you while he gives your
job to some pompous preppie from
Chapel Hill. It may be funny now, but
it won't he later.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
This is a response to "An eye
for a eye for Susan Smith printed
July, 19, 1995. I believe in capitol
sic punishment. However, it is al-
most offensive to read an article in
which the main point is to question
the necessity of a trial. Heath's opin-
ion is that it would have been a good
thing, "a favor to throw Susan
Smith to a group of protesters hop-
ing that they would have taken care
of her. Is this a joke? Does J.D.
Heath expect people to rationalize
a lynch mob? Well, think again.
It is also comforting to know
that we (readers who are also adults)
are respected enough that sentences
like: "She admitted to seat belting
both of her God given children into
their so-called child safety seats are
used to explain facts. Don't forget
that we are not stupid zomhies. We
can tell that "God given" and so-
called" are used to sway the reader.
Have we also forgotten that people
who describe children as God given
are not supposed to support things
like blood thirsty murder marchers?
Of course there should be a
trial! I understand that a crime of
this nature can cause a lot of anger,
but I also understand that it is pretty
hard to be a naive as to think: 1)
that anyone appalled by this trag-
edy would condone leaving their
homes in an attempt to hunt Susan
Smith down and kill her, Would you
really?, 2) that the readers of this
opinion section would let go an ar-
gument as poorly constructed as
yours.

may be no tomorrow
Carpe Diem! Seize the day be-
cause the time is now. We are free
from horrendous third shift summer
jobs and parental restraint It is time
to sit back, grab a cold one and watch
Beavis and Butthead.
Let's look at Beavis and Butthead
though. They are clearly not college
material. All they do is sit in front of
the tube, eat junkfood and rot away.
If they can ever hold on to a job it
will be the same drudgery day after
day making their special fries at
Burger World living from paycheck to
paycheck with bodies sculpted by
Budweiser the Great
Despite an occasional sadistic,
nihilistic impulse, Beavis and
Butthead will never think great
thoughts. They will never appreciate
what a joy thinking is. Beavis and
Butthead are merely living on the
world not in it
Education is a privilege not a
right Not everybody is or should be
entitled to it Their must be a hunger
and a discipline to attain it Dr. Simon
or Dr. Detroit can not just give knowl-
edge to anyone who is not in class.
Those that search and conquer new
ideas should be entitled an education.
Those that don't should make room
for someone who wants that chal-
lenge.
At the university, we have a
chance to rise up out of the muck of
ignorance and poverty and create new
worlds for ourselves and others. With-
out a degree, contemplate working
with Beavis and Butthead and in 10
years hoping to run a Quickie Mart
or taco stand.

tern. I lost my shot at an education.
For the past few years I have bagged
tons of groceries, waited on a million
tables and even worked as a third shift
furniture mover. All the while, I ex-
pected the world owed me something.
I thought I should be a foreman or
manager but was denied. Denied be-
cause I lived in the fantasy land that
a degree is a worthless piece of pa-
per.
It is not
A degree opens doors but it so
much more. To those that seize the
knowledge the university offers, a
world of ideas is there for the taking.
Ideas are powerful things because
nothing is more important than an
idea whose time has come. The time
is now. We live in a vastly different
world than we did 10 years ago. The
Berlin Wall is gone. There is a Repub-
lican Congress led by a renegade with
a few ideas of his own. Michael Jack-
son married Lisa Marie Presley and
the list goes on and on.
Armed with a piece of paper, an
ability to think and a powerful idea, a
college graduate is a formidable force.
Seize it for it is there for the taking.
Wage war against the real enemies of
the world, not financial aid. Dean
Speier, student government, the fac-
ulty or the Greeks.
While a degree does entitle cer-
tain privileges, it is worthless unless
it is backed up by something. People
that sit around watching MTV and
making the bare minimum to get di-
plomas are just as cheated. Not only
have they wasted thousands of dol-
lars, but their time as well. With the
time these couch potatoes spent in
college, they could have been using
those four years productively and be
assistant manager at a Quickie Mart
by now. Yes, even with a degree a per-
son can make special fries. I used to
wait tables with a lot of college gradu-
ates. A degree created without any
original thought or ability to commu-
nicate any idea is worthless. So seize
the knowledge.
This kind of degree loses its lus-
ter because so many are being pumped
out year by year by Chapel Hill, State
and other less noteworthy institutions.
In order for a degree to mean some-
thing, the person on that piece of pa-
per must be worth something. Each
person that gets a diploma sets an ex-
ample for the rest of the world. When
employers see an ECU graduate, they
must think sharp, hard working and
alert versus an animal house mental-
ity of fat dumb and stupid.
By the grace of God, I got a sec-
ond chance. Second chances are rarer
than a million dollar lottery ticket With
a fresh new year ahead, new opportu-
nities are at hand. A chance for a good
education is not something to be taken
lightly.
Reflections of the Dead
Where were you when one of
America's living legends and acid rock
icons died? Where were you when the
spirit of the 1960s all but ended for
thousands of Americans? Will you be
one of those thousand that will have
to get a job now because you can not
live the 'Jack Kerouac lifestyle' in pur-
suit of following the Grateful Dead?
Or will you just find solace in living
in a commune out West or perhaps
touring the United States with Phish,
the Dead's illegitmate offspring?
It was inevitable, wasn't it? How
much longer could the Dead tour any-
way? Jerry Garcia fought hard to keep
his weight and drug addictions at a
reasonable level, and at the same time
the band had been touring the world
as often as Garcia would light up a
joint in the early '60s. Wow, "What a
long strange trip it has been?"
Did you happen to see this weeks'
Newsweek (21 August 1995) where in
the clcanO opinion section (the very
last page) George F. Will, political
analyst and baseball freak, tried to
blame the Dead and the '60s cultural
revolution for the actions of two dead-
beat parents who neglected their chil-
dren so that they could pursue their
own endeavors? You have to be kid-
ding me, George?
Clearly these two people are truly
unfit and unhealthy for their children,
but to blame a society for the actions
of just two people is ludicrous. These
two people are cruel for neglecting
their children, but pinning the Dead
and a society where chaos and the
eternal search for happiness were the
dominant characteristics of a compli-
cated world is like blaming
Reaganomics for the Gulf War.
I remember just two short years
ago planning a trip to a Dead show in
Buffalo, NY with a group of friends.
(For those nostalgic Deadheads, it was
the tour where the Steve Miller Band
opened). We had a big plan of going
to the show to live the 'Deadhead
Experience We didn't have tickets.
We did not carry any illicit drugs. All
we had was a cooler full of frosty bev-
erages (fill in your favorite beer here),
and the willingness to live by the
Deadhead code: free. All we wanted
was to become 'tantalized' like the
Eric Bartels
Opnlon Columnist
The remaining
core members of
the Dead are left
contemplating
their own
futures.
Jead's dancing bear.
Unfortunately-our plans fell
threw another friend and I were un-
able to go because we had to work.
Ever since, we all planned on taking
our intended trip, but it seems that
fate took its course.
Likewise, Garcia and the Dead
toured the world with reckless aban-
don which started as early as 1965.
Their career epitomized a tumultuous
time in both rock n' roll and in life.
The whole '60s decade was marred by
revolution (Civil Rights and the anti-
Vietnam Peace Protests), disorder (the
Vietnam conflict, the assassination of
John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther
King, Jr.) and the yearning for free-
dom from an established (the draft
and the Vietnam conflict) society. The
Grateful Dead survived this era and
were fortunate enough to share their
music and their livelihood with oth-
ers.
By rocking into the '90s. the
Dead reached out to a newer, younger
audience. In the time of preserving
"peace, love and dope" at there con-
certs, Dead shows became a haven for
free-thinkers and those in search of
escape from the cruelties of the out-
side world. Not only did they open
their minds, they opened their mics.
Their mics? The Dead were one of the
only bands that would let you 'boot-
leg' their shows. How cool is that?
A saga that was created in the
minds of Garcia, Bob Weir and long-
time member Ron (Pigpen) McKeman.
who died in 1973 from liver compli-
cations, formed the Grateful Dead and
Everyone off the bus
named themselves after a British bal-
lad in which a human helps a ghost
find peace. After thriving for nearly
three decades, the remaining core
members of the Dead are left contem-
plating their own futures.
However, maybe it is time for the
Dead to be buried, besides their mu-
sic has touched several of today's pre-
mier bands. Just look at the Dead's
influence on bands like the school of
Phish (Phish), a Boston based band;
Rusted Root, (Pittsburgh natives);
Dave Matthews Band; Big Head Todd
& the Monsters or anyone that has
appeared on the H.O.R.D.E. (Horizons
Of Rock Developing Everywhere) tour.
Just listen to Dave Matthews Band's
violin playing, the drumbeats in some
of Rusted Root's songs, or even the
funky grooves that have made Phish
famous.
Have you ever stopped and won-
dered that the Grateful Dead may have
been one of America's earliest alter-
native bands? Not only because they
rarely had a chart topping single
("Touch of Grey" only went to num-
ber nine), but because they reached
audiences in different ways. They
didn't attack the popradio culture by
getting their music aired as frequently
as Hootie & the Blowfish or Live, but
they did tour.
"Truckin" all over the world and
all through the United States, the
Dead made their home not only on
Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco but
all over the world. The nostalgic
Volkswagen buses tie-dyed and
painted in psychedelic greens and reds
traveling all over the interstates of the
United States will remain an Ameri-
can phenomenon.
In hippie realms and for thou-
sands of Grateful Dead fans, August
9,1995 will be an unforgettable date,
similar to August 16, 1977 (the pass-
ing of the King). Unfortunately, for
those of us who missed the '60s and
the culture that engulfed over two
generations we may never have the
true experience that these generations
have witnessed and been a part of. The
mystique of the era with everyone liv-
ing in eternal bliss will always be
sought by those of us who yearn for
happiness and peace with our peers.
"Hey, man my friend Casey said
to me over drinks last week, "what
did the Deadhead say when he ran
out of pot?"
I didn't bother putting down my
bottle of beer before I smacked him
one in the ear - hard. He howled and
clutched at his boxed member as the
amber liquid soaked into his shirt
"What was that for?" he de-
manded, his eyes misting up.
I started to answer, then gritted
my teeth and went on popping him
over the head. It just felt so ugly and
futile trying to explain things to him,
as if the only way he would ever have
an open mind would be if his skull
was cracked open and his brain
plopped out onto the countertop
We were sequestered away in
Casey's tiny kitchen, watching the late
news, which was still brimming with
details on the life and death of Jerry
Garcia. Casey had been exponentially
upping the count on Dead jokes with
each beer, and my nerves had worn
painfully thin.
Actually, he looked more per-
plexed than offended by my assault
"This is about respect for the
dead, right?" he wanted to know, then
chuckled at his unintentional pun.
I waggled another bottle at him
to shut him up. What I couldn't con-
vey to Casey, and what a lot of people
don't seem to have realized yet is that
a lot more than just another member
of a popular band. When Garcia
checked out, that closed the book on
the '60s.
I had never liked the Grateful
Dead, and, from the interviews I read,
really disliked Garcia himself, but like

him or not, most expected him to be
around forever, or at least for another
30 years or so.
We have framed the 1960s and
recognize them as a golden period of
revolutionary thoughts and deeds. For
a while, it seemed like the shine from
that decade would never go away.
Then, one by one, the personal-
ity icons of the '60s counterculture
began to fall by the roadside, some
into obscurity, some to the only
slightly kinder condition of death.
Warhol, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison.
Hoffman-all gone, some suddenly,
some claimed by a predictable end
that anyone could see coming a mile
off.
Those that remain have been re-
duced to much the same status as the
idols from the '50s, shambling, soul-
less mockeries of their former glory,
all of whom seem destined to one day
end up on a commemorative plate on
the Home Shopping Network.
Loyal devotees insist that many of
the greats are still around, yet falter
when asked when was the last time
anything great was done.
Time Leary is still popular. Of
course he is. Any higher-consciousness
salesman with the tongue of a hipster
and the heart of a pimp who only man-
ages to keep harvesting a new crop of
followers every 10 years by giving the
green light on unlimited psychedelic
drug use will always be hanging on
thousands of dorm room walls.
Even a musical giant like Bob
Dylan is viewed like some odd curios-
ity from an antique shop. Sadly, no
one's listened to anything he's had to
say since some time around 1978 and
has long since been swept into the
nostalgia bin.
As for others such as Peter, Paul;
and Mary, Crosby, Stills, and Nash and
Santana, they're still alive only in the
loosest sejise of the word.
But then there was the Dead, the
eternal passengers on Ken Kesey's day-
glo bus, migrating back and forth
across the country, with a trail of fans
following in their wake like goslings. I
felt certain that the Dead would be
around until the end of time, still tour-
ing long after their bodies had given
up the ghost but then there's never
enough money for you to pay off the
reality check when it comes.
I only hope we don't 20 or 30
years down the road, choose to find a
new god, a new time to glorify, and
move on to the next available decade,
the 70s, because that means that even-
tually, the decade to sit upon the
throne will be the '80s, and our na-
tional anthem will be replaced by a
Huey Lewis song.

unattainable by any means of commu-
nication.
Because of this, all of your en-
deavors will likely take 12 hours
longer than initially planned, so pack
a lunch. If you attempt to speed this,
or any process up, you could extend
your stay here for one to two years
and there's a good possibility that
you'll miss the sing along at the end
of the year.
Transportation onCamp
grounds: If you have a car, give it
away. This may sound strange, but
once the first parking ticket is writ-
ten, and the first 45 minute wait in
the parking lot has occurred, there
will be no confusion about this par-
ticular suggestion. The best advice
that this counselor has for the brave
few who decide to keep their car
would be to refrain from parking any-

Opinion Columnist
If you have a
car, give it
away. Refrain
from parking
anywhere in the
city limits.
where in the city limits.
A parking sticker, obtainable
from the camp traffic office on 10th
Street, will only provide a false sense
of security for the ECU camper. You
will get a ticket. You will leam to ig-
nore signs. You will feel the power
of the camp traffic office when at-
tempting to complete any of the tasks
discussed in the first section. Oh yes,
you will have your records tagged.
Do not fear, simply sell your car and
you can avoid this common camp
problem.
Camp activities: Camp ECU has
many extracurricular activities that
can be beneficial to the general camp
experience, but there are some things
to know. When attending sporting
events make sure to leam the proper
clapping rhythms to the camp songs
before entering any camp facility. It
is a little known fact that improper
clapping in a public place can result
in social out cast
Do not follow the trend of camp-
ers past by driving circles around
downtown until you see someone
that you know. This activity has
caused moral problems for some of
the older campers and it has been
suggested that I include this helpful
tip.
If anyone invites you to attend
a facility named after a body part,
run away. Find a safe house some-
where, call a camp security officer,
find someone who you can sing the
camp song with.
Lastly, if you are a camper that
likes big hats and big belt buckles,
which many of our campers do. make
sure and restrain yourself from ex-
hibiting these articles at the fore
mentioned sporting events. Trust me,
your counselor, your friend.
We here at Camp ECU wish only
the best for the new members of our
community. It is the hope of the
counselors that you will heed these
little suggestions and find your stay
here as wonderful as we attempt to
make it. There will be basket weav-
ing in Mendenhall and lunch in Todd
dining hall all year long.

elected.
"I am the only Gheen in the
phone book and I will always return
a phone call he said. "1 encourage
everyone to contact me to voice
their concerns, to register to vote
and get involved with our commu-
nity
After speaking to his own
graduating class about civic respon-
sibility, Gheen decided to act by be-
coming involved in the community.
"Our generation must begin to
act now if we truly hope to repair
the deterioration of our neighbor-
hoods and communities Gheen
said. "We can no longer afford to
defer action to others in hopes that
they' will set things straight. We
must take responsibility for the fu-
ture now
Gheen plans to lower taxes and
get tough on property crime. Dur-
ing holidays like Thanksgiving and
Christmas, property crime picks up
dramatically, according to the
Greenville Police Department.
Gheen said that his neighbor-
hood is particularly hard hit because
thieves know most residents are
away on break.
"The young people in my dis-
trict are the most vulnerable to vio-
lent crime and theft he said.
"Criminals know when they leave for
the holidays. Young people deserve
to be protected, and by increasing
our security, we can protect the
entire community.
"By enlisting our involvement,
we can capture or deter criminals
that come to our neighborhoods
looking for easy prey
If elected, Gheen hopes to put
more watch groups in effect.
People returning from down-
town late at night are often victims
of violent assault, according to the
Greenville Police Department.
Gheen plans to put a stop to that
"We cannot deter violent crime
in our community without equal po-
lice protection for the young
Gheen said. "We must establish safe
channels of communication that go
behind our current crime stoppers
hotline.
"If elected, I will personally
work with both the university and
the student population to enhance
communication and investigate vio-
lent crime he said. "We also need
better lighting in key areas and to
develop community watch programs
designed for students
Gheen hopes to change occu-
pancy ordinances that have con-
cerned many for quite a while. The
(ity forbids more than three unre-
lated people from living together.
Gheen believes many students live
in fear of eviction because of the or-
' dinance.
"I believe the landlords should
be able to lease four bedroom dwell-
ings to four renters for their mutual
protection in the agreement" Gheen
said. "I do not believe that anyone
should be evicted merely for living
four to a house.
"We have plenty of ordinances
that deal with parking, noise, lawn
care, etc that can keep our neigh-
borhoods attractive without evict-
ing. This current policy is discrimi-
natory against students and I feel it
would not withstand a court chal-
lenge
Gheen also wants to change the
noise ordinance to a higher thresh-
old if elected.
"The current noise ordinance
establishes a threshold of 60 deci-
bels, this is too low and allows the
police to disperse about any gather-
ing Gheen said. "We should raise
it slightly on weekends, and more
importantly, we should insist that
law enforcement officers actually
use the noise meters that the city
has purchased for them.
"There are many reports of po-
lice claiming that people have vio-
lated a noise ordinance when they
have failed to even bring a noise
meter. This is equivalent with accus-
ing a citizen of drunk driving while
failing to administer a sobriety test"
Next year the city will review
private property in terms of taxa-
tion. Gheen believes that because
the city has run a tax surplus over
the last several years, that it should
lower taxes.
"We just got hit with a dramatic
tuition increase and the last thing
we need is a rent hike Gheen said.
"Property tax increases are usually
passed down to renters
Gheen said he will push to make
campus a city council precinct. He
said students can be represented bet-
ter if they have their own represen-
tative.
"The students and young
people of this city total between 20-
25 thousand Gheen said. "It is un-
democratic to leave us out of city
government
"By dividing the campus into
three different districts, the city
commits political apartheid
Other universities across the
state boast former students in city
council.
"To my knowledge, two other
universities boast of a representative
on their city councils Gheen said.
"Now it's our turn to improve our
image abroad by showing that ECU
gets involved with the political pro-
cess and we vote
Gheen will run against Inez
Freidley of the ECU housing depart-
ment, Rev. Joseph Sturtz and
Mathew Koeber.

Another new school year, another

Unless your father is a million

big on the lottery, the chances of be-
ing broke at least the majority of your
time in Greenville are almost absolute.
Atter you've been in town a few
weeks, you'll notice the horde of
people who swarm the downtown area
virtually every night of the week
spending money. Though profitable
for downtown merchants, it is rela
lively easy for students to become
enthralled in the excitement and
spend the entire month's budget in a
single weekend.
One of the first tasks for many
students is obtaining a pei
ing account. Superficially, this sounds
like an easy assignment hut then is
much more at stake than meets the
eye.

1 like birthdays. The idea of
commemorating the anniversary
ol someone's birth puts our lives
in some kind of historical context
and gives us a sense of perspec-
tive.
In that vein. 1 like to see if
my friends share birthdays with
famous people. For instance, my
mother was horn on the same day
as Ronald Reagan, while my grl-
friend shares historical space with
actor Anthony Hopkins and Sir
William Cull (the Victorian-era
physician who many people think
was secretly Jack the Ripper).
Most of my friends have the same
birthday as somebody famous.
Not me. Not a single interest-
ing person who ever did anything
even remotely cool was born the
same day as me. When I was
younger, this kind of ticked me
off. I'm a Leo. for Cod's sake!
We're supposed to be leaders of
men. real take-charge types. But
nobody cool was ever born on
Auk. So much for astrology.
But as 1 got older. I did a little
digging and discovered some-
thing. Though nobody interesting
was ever born on my birthday,
some pretty interesting stuff did
happen. I; fact 1 found that 1 was
born on the anniversary of some
of the most heinous events in
modern American history.
On Aug. 9, 1945, America
dropped the second atomic bomb
on Nagasaki. Japan. The
Hiroshima bomb of three days
earlier had been sufficient to send
Japan scurrying to the negotiation
table. In fact, Japan's leaders were
about to surrender uncondition-
ally when the Nagasaki bomb
dropped. We knew the incredible
destruction the bomb was capable
of. hut we dropped it anyway. For
nvincingly good reason.
It that's not enough to tum
your stomach, on Aug. 9. 1969,

The East Carolinian
Dance the night away
Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
So, it's Saturday night and
you've got nothing to do. You could
spend the evening getting some
work done or playing a little
Parcheesi with your pals. Or, you
could join the majority of the ECU
campus in downtown Greenville.
Conveniently located within
easy walking distance from campus,
downtown is the legendary place
that earned ECU its "party school-
reputation. Most of the town's bars
are there, and nearly all of the fa-
vorite student hangouts.
What follows is an overview of
the downtown experience. All estab-
lishments listed welcome everyone
18 and over, but remember to bring
an ID; downtown bouncers don't like
underage drinkers. This piece might
seem to be for new students only,
but even downtown veterans might
want to keep reading. A few changes
have occurred over the summer that
may affect your weekends in the year
to come.
The Attic: The biggest venue
for live music in town. Ten years ago,
REM hit the Attic stage on a regu-
lar basis. Last year it was Hootie and
the Blowfish and Dave Matthews.
Not every band you'll see here will
become huge national stars, but you
might enjoy them anyway.
Peasant's Cafe: Every college
town has its Deadheads, and this is
where ours hang out. If you're
granola-crunchy, wear tie-dies and
are into Native American outer wear,
this is the place for you. Peasant's
features live music and sometimes
strays from its low-key regulars to
bring in cool weirdos like the King
Missile, who are scheduled to hit the
Peasant's stage in October.
O'Rockefeller's: RIP. That's
right, Greenville's home of alterna-
tive music has died an untimely
death. Rumors abound as to what's
replacing it, but the inside word
is that O'Rock's will soon be a
dance club.
Sports PadSplash
Sharkey's: Three, three, three
bars in one! Sports Pad is
your basic pool room. Splash
boasts seats and the occasional
live music performance in one
room, and pool tables as far as
the eye can see in the other.
Sharkey's features yet still more
pool tables and, of course, a bar.
The Elbo: For reasons known
only to the gods, the Elbo is where
most partying ECU freshmen hang
out. Generally, the Elbo plays Top
40 dance music. Tuesday night is
freshman nifent; Thursday night is
rave night. It's known as "a good
place to meet people
Kelly's: RIP. Yes, Kelly's has
also gone the way of all things. In
its place will be two new establish-
ments: The Underwater Raw Bar
and Graffiti's.
Wrong Way Corrigan's: A
blues-rock bar with comfortable
booths, Corrigan's caters to a
slightly older crowd than many of
the downtown clubs.
The Cellar: Located beneath
the Attic, the Cellar offers three
rooms with three different types of
music. One room is country, another
dance and the third, rock. The at-
mosphere is like the Elbo, but with
a twist (and fewer underagers).
Happy's Pool Room: The name
says it all. A great place to soak in
some "local color
The Percolator Coffeehouse:
Greenville's very own hip coffee joint
rolls on this fall. The Percolator of-
fers an alternative to the beer-swill-
ing may-
hem of the other
down-
town
bars.
Its
spite the frightening amounts
of caffeine being consumed by the
patrons. On a typical trip to the Per-
colator you'll meet poets, professors,
punks, frat boys. Deadheads, artists,
intellectuals and just plain folks who
like a good cup of Java.
Alfredo'sAlfredo's II:
Alfredo's is a tiny little pizza joint
with a really good juke box. You can
barely get in the door after 2 a.m.
Alfredo's II, next door, is a small bar
that attracts an odd assortment of
students. It's usually packed to ca-
pacity.
BW3: A buffalo wings restau-
rant that doubles as a bar at night,
BW3 offers comfortable seats and a
trivia game that can be played on
any of the TV sets scattered around
the room.
Well, that's about it for the
downtown bar scene. Expect to
come home from most of these
places tired, sweaty and reeking of
cigarrette smoke. If that's your cup
of tea, pick a likely environment and
dive in. If not there's always
Parcheesi.
Klein accused of kiddie porn
NEW YORK (AP) - Denounced by
some child welfare experts as kiddie
porn, Calvin Klein's latest jeans ads
seem to be about everything but jeans.
Taken by Steven Meisel, the pho-
tographer who shot Madonna's "Sex
the photos feature pubescent boys and
girls, some of them posing with a "Yo,
come hither look.
One boy isn't wearing jeans at all,
just underpants and a vest In other
cases, underwear peeks suggestively
from beneath jeans.
Although the ads are on television
and in magazines, their appearance on
150 New Yoik City buses ignited de-
bate about sex, youth and gender roles.
The Daily News quoted four child
welfare experts Friday condemning the
ads as something akin to soft-core por-
nography.
"He really scraped the bottom of
the barrel rape prevention specialist
Iona Siegel told The Associated Press.
"He's made kids sex objects and
put their pictures in a place where other
kids will see them, with the crotches
and belly buttons and hair and teeth
and those very sexy expressions
Such controversy seems to be
Qah-in Klein's M.O.
Earlier ads featured a welklevel-
oped Marky Mark, the rapper, in briefs,
and the not-so-developed Kate Moss in
provocative poses, including naked with
a large dog. Then there's Brooke
Shields, who will always be remembered
as the 15-year-old of "Nothing comes
between me and my Calvins
In New York, some people scrawled
"FEED ME" on posters featuring Moss'
waiflike body. And this week a group of
San Franciscans hung posters with the
words "Emaciation Stinks" printed over
a nude photo of her.
Klein's office issued a statement
that claimed the latest jeans ads were
inspired by "the strength of personal-
ity and self-knowledge of young people
today What these people show is that
they know how to act, how to control a
situation and how to respond in their
own way
The models were described as
"regular people not professional mod-
els, but Klein's company would not give
their ages.
In response to the uproar, NYC
Transit said the ads will be reviewed.
But Transit spokesman Tito Davila
added that court rulings have given tran-
sit system advertising First Amendment
protection.
He said the ads were approved by
a private agency, which is obliged to
follow guidelines barring "false, mislead-
ing or deceptive advertising, and obscen-
ity as defined by New York law (Trans-
lation: Just about anything goes.)

Summer review 1995
Brandon Wadded
AMsh tant Ufestyle Editor
Aimlessly walking around
campus on rst day back to
classes? Today most of us are
completely absorbed in trying to
figure out the perfect fall class
schedule; some students compla-
cently returning to the Emerald
City after a summer hiatus may
wonder about what memorable
events they missed.
It was summer, therefore
only a fraction of the student
body was even here. The live
music scene was an overwhelm-
ing hit; there was something for
everyone. Staccato's continued
its jazz gigs twice a month, pre-
senting the ECU Faculty Jazz
Band. They've has been so suc-
cessful that Staccato's requested
the band to play every Thursday
night this fail instead of every
other Thursday night
Local businessmen Lee
Crumpton and Paul Edwards pre-
sented the Home Grown Music
Festival during the second week-
end in June. The event drew a
huge crowd despite that fact that
so few students attended ECU's
first summer session. The Festi-
val consisted of nine bands play-
ing simultaneously at the Attic
and Peasant's both weekend
nights. With the closing of
0 Rock's, these two nightclubs
continue to be the only places
to see live music in the down-
town area.
Last month The Texas Two
Step hosted a hardcore hoedown
to benefit PICASO (Pitt County
AIDS Service Organization). Though
the underground music benefit had
plenty of good intentions, this day-
long music event simply didn't get off
the ground due to lack of support
from hardcore music enthusiasts.
North Carolina's own Edwin
McCain Band soothed a savage crowd
at the Attic If local music history tells
us anything, we've probably seen the
last of Edwin McCain as they and their
rootsy sound are likely play much
larger venues in the near future. The
band recorded its full length major

time we'll see the Edwin McCain Band
will be at Walnut Creek.
Speaking of the Creek, the Ra-
leigh amphitheater's summer sched-
ule included acts such as Melissa
Etheridge, Live, Phish, Elton John,
Dave Matthews Band, Hootie & the
Blowfish and the Lollapalooza tour.
Many ECU students were seen pass-
ing each other back and forth on
Highway 264 as a flock of cars left
Greenville for Raleigh every night
Walnut Creek presented a show.
And, of course, Greenville put on
its annual Fourth of July fireworks
display to a thrilled audience at the
Town Commons.
The best part of the summer
scene is the fact that it's over. Now

Bloody new novel satisfies
Ronda Cranford
Staff Writer
In the mood for a grisly tale?
Feel like curling up with an intelli-
gent, seductive old world serial
killer? You're in luck. Andrei
Codrescu's The Blood Countess is
just what you need.
Codrescu has done a wonderful
job of crafting a sympathetic char-
acter out of Countess Elizabeth
Bathory, a Hungarian noblewoman
who allegedly murdered young girls
and bathed in their blood as a rem-
edy for aging. What else was a girl
to do in those dark days before Estee
Lauder? She also had powerful
friends, one of whom was an alche-
mist devoted to the cause of mak-
ing her live forever. Failing that, he
endeavors to bring her back from
the dead in present times.
The story unfolds as Elizabeth's
descendant. Drake Bathory-
Kereshtur, confesses his sins and the
story behind them to a judge in New
York. Drake, who fled from Hungary
to escape the communists, was sent
back to his native land to report on
life there after the fall of commu
nism.
Because of his
royal blood, he is
sought out as a pos-
sible future king. In
spite of not wanting
to be drawn into the
politics of his home-
land, he gets swept
up in the political
drama taking place
there. He also plays a
critical role in resur-
recting his famous
and bloodthirsty an-
cestor.
Drake seems to
be drawn in by fate.
He is eventually ma-
nipulated to commit a
terrible crime, and
while we are deeply
disappointed in him
it's hard to lose faith
in his essential goodness. After all,
he does confess to the crime when
he could have easily gotten away
with it Good and evil characters are
hard to label in this book.
Between the chapters dealing
with Drake's confession, Codrescu-
paints a picture of the life of Eliza

Japan offers action alternative
Dale Williamson
Staff Writer
There is-light beyond the cin-
ematic horizon. To much delight,
Japanimation has become very
popular in America recently. As a
result, Japanese animated films are
becoming more and more accessible
here in the states, and they are of-
fering thirsty Americans an alter-
native to much of the dry-rotted
fluff Hollywood is dishing out.
One recent U.S. release in the
wonderful world of Japanimation is
Ninja Scroll, a tasty treat you can
only find on video. Centering on
the classic tale of good versus evil
and backed by fluid animation, this
film should find a secure home with
American audiences.
The story revolves around a
young Ninja-for-hire named Jubei

who is forced to team up with an
aged, Yoda-like Ninja master in an
effort to stop the Devils of Kimone
from overtaking the established
clans of Japan. Along the way, these
two are joined by Kagero, a beauti-
ful woman warrior who suffers from
a rather frustrating condition: any-
one who makes love to her dies. As
one character states, "She is per-
fect in this amoral world
As opposed to much of the dis-
jointed movies out this summer,
this story is solid, focused and well-
paced. Writerdirector Yoshiaki
Kawajiri manages to fill his film
with many dazzling action se-
quences without sacrificing his
characters. Jubei is a reluctant hero
with a haunted past, but he is also
someone who is sympathetic
enough to see the good inherent
in Kagero.
Suffering from a desire to love
but being unable to do so. Kagero
exudes the strength and stubborn-
ness of a human being unwilling to
reveal her true emotions. In one of
the more disturbing scenes, Kagero
is nearly raped by a demon until
Jubei rescues her. However, the ;
woman warrior refuses to break
down in tears until her rescuer
leaves her alone. To reveal such
emotions would only reveal her
own weakness, and that is a weak-
ness she has trained to silence.
Both Jubei and Kagero are
stubborn characters, but the sexual
tension existing between the two
is intense. When Kagero discovers
that the only way to stop a poison
in Jubei's blood is for her to make
love to him, Kawajiri creates one
of the most romantic moments in
recent cinematic history.

The East Carolinian
Lollapalooza f95 surpasses prior outings
Mark Brett
Lifestyle Editor
I I've been in the underground
too long.
. I had this revelation while walk-
ing the promenade at Walnut Creek
Amphitheatre during this year's
Lollapalooza Festival. The sun was
beating down hard and I was sur-
rounded by a sea of people who sud-
denly seemed very, very young.
- I saw guys dressed like the Crow
and girls in Tank Girl combat gear.
I,saw women wearing bikinis with
hiking boots and men in dresses.
Black kids, white kids, Asian kids,
couples younger than me with in-
fants strapped to their backs, Indian-
style. Goths, skins, punks, preps,
Hell's Angels, frat boys, Deadheads,
burn-outs and ravers. One million
tow-headed Bobby Bradys out to
enjoy a little subversive youth cul-
ature.
None of it fazed me.
I've seen it all before. Even the
Ifllew youth culture fad of dressing
H
?to look like you're 14 doesn't seem
very extreme compared to some of
Jfee excesses I've been privy to. So
Uhen I found myself immersed in
"this sea of people trying to be shock-
ing, I found myself feeling well,
t$ise somehow. I felt like some kind
jjjf Zen master, so at home with ab-
surdity that I just found it all amus-
rZ Satisfied that the youth culture
"Was getting along fine without me,
I settled in to enjoy the show.
?? The action started ac a little af-
Sfcer 2 p.m. with ska kings the Mighty
Mighty Bosstones. Considering the
popularity of ska in what's left of
;tte underground, it's way past time
"Collapalooza featured a little
skankin' music in its line-up.
l Ska is an odd mix of reggae, big
3&nd and punk styles, and the
Bosstones are generally hailed as
.the music's goodwill ambassadors.
t They put on a good show at Wal-
mit Creek, keeping the crowd mov-
ing with a barrage of
high-energy tunes.
From my vantage
point on the hill, I
could tell that about
half the audience
had no idea who
these guys were. But
by the third song,
most of those people
had picked up the
beat. That's impres-
sive crowd control,
considering that the
Bosstones generally
play nightclubs the
size of the Attic.
Another club
band making the
arena transition was
Jesus Lizard. Their
heavy, syrupy style
wasn't everyone's
cup of tea, but the
set was well-played
and, overall, impres-
sive.
Next up was
Moby, a techno-rave
act who replaced
Elastica, who had in
turn replaced the
pregnant Sinead
O'Connor. Moby's
set was surprisingly
entertaining, considering the repeti-
tive nature of rave music. Moby
made the obligatory attacks on Jesse
Helms that have become a
Lollapalooza standard, but he ham-
mered on it for so long that it be-
came tedious. When he lit into a
cover of "Sweet Home Alabama I
fled to the second stage.
Once there, I caught one of the
day's highlights, the Mike Watt set.
Formerly of underground legends
Firehose, Watt played his jazz-tinged
rock with the confidence of a vet-
eran.
Next on the main stage was
Beck, whose set was not nearly so
lethargic as I expected. The extra
energy paid off; Beck won over a lot
of the crowd.

Ska music ambassadors The Mighty Mighty Bosstones opened a
rousing afternoon of performances at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre.
Even more lethargic than Beck,
surprisingly, was Pavement. Nor-
mally a dynamic live band, Pavement
lulled the crowd on the hill into a
myopic stupor with a set that was
not only slow but sloppy. That said,
I must add that I really enjoyed the
Pavement set After a hot afternoon
filled with high-energy sets, we
needed a break, a chance to lie back
and rest up for the rest of the
evening.
It's a good thing we had that
break, too, because Cypress Hill as-
saulted the stage next. Their set was
bouncy, they made Walnut Creek se-
curity really nervous and the crowd
came to their feet. After they rolled
a giant bong on stage, I kind of got
the idea that these guys might like

Sandra Bullock gets caught in a complex Net
Ike Shibley
Senior Writer
ECU grad Sandra Bullock won
audiences' hearts this spring with
her performance in While You Were
Sleeping. She was recently the sub-
ject of a Hard Copy story, has been
on the covers of many magazines,
and now has a brand new movie in
theaters called The Net.

In The Net Bullock portrays
Angela Bennett, an introverted
computer systems analyst who un-
knowingly stumbles across a top
secret computer disc that has the
capability of accessing almost any-
computer system in the world.
As The Net opens, a high rank-
ing White House Cabinet member
commits suicide. It turns out that
the politician had been informed
that he had tested positive for HIV.
The information the politician re-
ceived was incorrect, however. The
data in the hospital had been
changed because someone knew
the outcome if the data were al-
tered.
Angela has a copy of the disc
mailed to her by a hacker friend.
Her friend's single-engine plane
crashes before he can ever talk to
Angela, thus leaving Angela in the
dark about the peril she may face.

Angela only slowly awakens to the
danger she is in. After a foiled at-
tempt on her life, Angela's records
are completely erased so that in the
eye.s of the state and country, she
no longer exists.
Angela elicits the aid of a
former boyfriend (Dennis Miller in
a pleasantly subdued role) upon re-
alizing the hopelessness of her situ-
ation. Angela spends the rest of the
film trying to elude the police while
trying to stop the owners of the
disc from killing her.
The Net is not nearly the show-
case for Bullock that While You
Were Sleeping was but it still al-
lows her to shine. Bullock in front
of a computer screen can seem as
captivating, even more so, than the
overblown chase scenes in the film.
Bullock again conveys the honest
integrity that is quickly becoming
her trademark. The audience can
relate to Angela because of
Bullock's sensible and honest por-
trayal.
Jeremy Northam has been re-
ceiving positive reviews for his role
as the killer assigned to eliminate
Angela. I, however, found his per-
formance rather staid. He never re-
ally exuded evil. I was not con-
vinced that he was falling for An-
gela early in the film. The audience
needed to believe that his infatua-
tion with Angela could impair his
judgment. Northam's character was
also too bland, but then so is the
entire film.
Irwin Winkler directed The Net
as if directing a regular episode of
Starsky and Hutch. The chase
scenes are amateurish and boring,
the bad guys have no development
(I could not even figure out what
they would do with the disc), and
the pace of the film is languid to
the point of boring. Winkler could
have made a much better film had.
he concentrated on Angela faking,
a fire alarm so she can obtain in-
formation from a computer. And
near the end she outwits the bad
guys with a disc containing a virus
But these scenes account for
only a small fraction of film time.
Too much time is wasted on
Angela's relationship with her
would-be killer and on scenes in-
volving the police. The ending of
the film, which takes place on a
catwalk, is especially derivative and
dull.
The Net will probably help
Bullock's career because she proves
again that she can carry a film.
Hopefully in the future she will also
be given quality scripts and qual-
ity directors to work with.
On a scale of one to ten, The
Net rates a five.

Time-Warner sued over controversial rap lyrics
NEW YORK (AP) - Already un-

in to the Time Warner request.
"Asking to listen to our artists'
lyrics or music content prior to

counterproductive lovine told
The Wall Street Journal. "It would
also go against everything
Interscope has stood for since the
day of its conception
lovine was out of his Los An-
geles office Friday, and Interscope
officials would not comment fur-
ther. But the source, speaking on
condition of anonymity, confirmed
the story.
Will Tanous, director of media
relations for the Warner Music
Group, wouldn't comment.
Tha Dogg Pound is the latest
group of gangsta rappers from Dr.
Dre's stable of West Coast rappers,
which already includes the plati-
num-selling Snoop Doggy Dogg and
Warren G.

Snoop's album "Doggy Style

ics, became the first debut record
ever to enter the charts at No. 1. It
featured guest appearances by Tha

bum is titled "Dogg Food
Word of Time Warner's efforts
to review Tha Dogg Pound's lyrics
left some in the rap industry won-
dering about its chilling effect on
other rappers.
"This is without precedent
said veteran rap publicist Bill Adler.
"It would be comical if it didn't
have such an impact. You can't tell
me that one of the chief reasons
for the decline of the West is rap
music
Time Warner is a 50 percent
owner of Interscope; the Los Ange-
les-based Interscope is trying to
buy back Warner's interest in the
company. lovine and department
store executive Ted Field turned
Interscope into a money-maker
since opening the label just five
years ago.
Interscope, in addition to han-
dling Dre's Death Row Records,
also represents jailed rapper Tupac
Shakur and alternative rockers
Nine Inch Nails. Both Shakur and
Nails' leader Trent Reznor have
come under attack for their explicit
lyrics.
Senate Majority Leader Bob
Dole and former Education Secre-
tary William J. Bennett are among
those pressuring Time Warner to
stop distributing such music.
The showdown between
Interscope Records and its major
label partner follows a pair of Cali-
fornia lawsuits filed against anti-rap
activist C. DeLores Tucker, head of
the National Congress of Black
Women, and Time Warner.
On Thursday, Death Row
Records sued Tucker, Time Warner
and two company executives for al-
legedly launching a smear cam-
paign against rap lyrics. Interscope
had filed a similar suit two days
earlier.

Networks offer more than sitcom stupidity in fall
NEW YORK (AP) - On the evening
of Jan. 9. 1967, TV showed its colors
and they were all the same.
That night, two networks pre-
miered virtually identical - and similarly
awful - sitcoms: "Mr. Terrific" (CBS)
and "Captain Nice" (NBC). This sitcom-
synchronicity lasted seven 'months un-
til, on the night of Aug. 28. both series
bit the dust a half-hour apart
Even so, three decades later much
of TV's creative community is still aw-
fully me-tooistic. This is evident as the
networks begin rolling out 27 new
sitcoms for the 1995-96 season.
Granted, some people are trying
to travel off the beaten path. I was re-
minded of this a few days ago when I

saw the pilot for "Emmett and Earl
one prospective series that manages to
break loose from sitcom copy-catism.
Not that "E&E" escapes the con-
ventions of the sitcom. Anything but It
draws on the classic sitcoms of the
1950s: their simplicity, sweetness, un-
apologetic silliness. It's about two work-
ing-class (though not always working)
joes who are trying to get ahead or,
barring that at least get by.
Free of cutting-edge humor, self-
conscious irony or breast jokes.
"Emmett and Earl" is not onry funny,
but for sheer originality probably
eclipses anything viewers can look for-
ward to this fall.
Which is to say, "Emmett and Earl"
won't be found on any network's lineup.
It was one of many pilots pitched to
CBS. CBS said no.
There may be life in "E&E" yet
HBO has displayed interest in picking
it up. For now, however, the TV audi-
ence faces another season of numbing
predictabiliby - maybe even more so
than in the recent past
One obvious reason is the smash
success last season of "Friends which
has spawned umpteen clones of en-
semble buddy sitcoms (only television
could tum friendship into a tiresome
trend).
Yet all is not lost On the schedule
are four new sitcoms that at the least
seem to have been created somewhere
other than on a petri dish.
In two instances, "seem" for now
is the operative word: No pilot episode
has been made available for "The
Bonnie Hunt Show" or "If Not For You
both on CBS.

"Bonnie" comes from David

production com-
pany, which (as its
sidelined "Emmett

demonstrates) is
stubbornly insis-

'Bonnie

herself, an improv
comedienne who

lightful sitcom
"The Building" a
couple of seasons
back.
This time
Hunt plays a cor-
respondent for a
Chicago TV sta-
tion, and all of her
"news" reports
will be improvised
with ordinary people on location.
Sounds risky - and promising. It pre-
mieres Friday, Sept 22.
Premiering Monday, Sept 18, "If
Not For You" is a romantic comedy star-
ring Elizabeth McGovern. That is all you
need to know, and this: Larry Levin is
the series' creator.
Free of cutting-
edge humor,
self-conscious
irony or breast
jokes, "Emmett
and Earl" is not
only funny, but for
sheer originality
probably eclipses
anything viewers
can look forward
to this fall.
No, you may have never heard of
him. But Levin has been behind some
of the freshest, funniest - albeit short-
est-lived - comedy
shows of recent
years. His latest
was the gently
madcap "Bakers-
field P.D of two
seasons ago.
In short any-
thing Le-in does
deserves a look.
There is more
tangible evidence
- their pilots - to
recommend an-
other pair of up-
coming sitcoms:
CBS's "Almost Per-
fect" and NBC's
"The Single Guy
Perhaps the
premise for "Al-
most Perfect"
sounds groaningly
contrived: SHE
writes for a TV cop
show. HE'S a cop.
How will they carve out time from their
demanding, sometimes conflicting work
lives for love?
What makes this ordinary idea,
well, almost perfect is its execution.

NINJA from page 23
However, what will make audi-
ences take notice of Ninja Scroll
is the nonstop action. To achieve
their goal, our trio of heroes must
defeat the eight demons of Kimone,
and these demons must be seen to
be believed. We are introduced to
such nasty villains as a tattooed
woman whose snake tattoos come
to life, a quasimodo-like menace
with a beehive for a hunchback, and
a shadow demon who kills his vic-
tims with a clawed projectile.
On top of that, our reluctant
ninja hero has to face a classic chal-
lenge from a blind swordsman who
proves that sight is overrated when
it comes to sword fighting. Also
worth a mention is the climatic
battle between Jubei and the head
demon, which is more satisfying
than any other action sequence out
this summer.
Trivia Answers from page 26
The violence, a topic of concern
for many Japanimation films, is
graphic but never excessive.
Kawajiri creates a disturbing and
violent world effectively and pro-
vides his heroes with overwhelm-
ing obstacles to overcome. The end
result is a thoroughly quenching
ninety minutes of unrelenting ac-
tion.
If you're a fan of the action
genre and this year has been a bust
for you, then try an alternative to
what's playing at the local theater.
Instead of spending five bucks on
the latest brain candy from
Stallone, take a trip to the under-
ground and get a full meal from
such goodies as Ninja Scroll. It's
cheaper, more exciting, and (heaven
forbid) might be a totally new view-
ing experience. On a scale of one
to 10, Ninja Scroll rates a nine.

2. Hooterviile. It's amazing the

considering that the show's focus was
on three buxom southern belles who
liked to skinny-dip in the town's wa-

3. Buffy, Jody and Sissy. Extra
points if you remembered Uncle Bill,
Mr. French or Buffy's doll Mrs.

And, finally, "Dirty Dancing

BLOOD from page 23
trigue, where the advent of Chris-
tianity has undermined the power
of women in society. Elizabeth
learns the ways of the old religion,
which glorifies the female and which
the Christians call witchcraft.
The larger theme at work in the
story seems to deal with oppression.
These royal characters, while they
hold positions of privilege, are nev-
ertheless oppressed themselves.
They are exploited because of their
stations. Elizabeth is born in a soci-
ety that thoroughly oppresses
women, and frustration with this op-
pression is partly what drives her to
commit such appalling crimes - she
persecutes others in search of a feel-
ing of power.
Drake grows up in a communist
society that hates aristocrats. He
grows up an outcast and this cre-
ates the weakness in him that leaves
room for evil to manipulate him later
on. All of this takes place against
the political backdrop of Eastern
Europe, where oppression and
bloody uprising have been going on
for centuries. The most deadly op-
pressors were once oppressed them-
selves.
The chdiacterization of these
complicated characters is brilliant.
Through them, Codrescu raises
some interesting questions about
the nature of evil. The events that
occur within the plot are graphic,
fantastic and grotesque, while re-
maining believable. The fact that the
novel is based on a real figure from
history adds to its disturbing qual-
ity. C tdrescu balances the tension
between the alternating Andrei

"The Single Guy" begins with an
even weaker proposition: a
thirtysomething bachelor whose married
friends keep fixing him up.
But as with "Almost" that objec-

feel removed from that material,

Still, this long-time Hole fan would

The best moment of the show for
me happened about mid-way

Youth. People flocked from the
Amphitheatre during the first 10 min-
utes of this edgy set. Sonic Youth's
sound is not particularly user-
friendly: raw, sharp noise and struc-
tured feedback are definitely not ra-
dio iare.
It must be an acquired taste, be-
cause I tHink Sonic Youth easily put
on the best set of the day. leaving
every other band at the show in their
dust. Opening with "Sister from
their 1986 album of the same title.
Sonic Youth immediately pleased
their long-time fans and probably left
much of the crowd feeling perplexed.
The set roared on with a long
list of tracks from the band's long
career. Highlights included the
Sonic Youth anthem "Teen-Age
Riot" and Kim Gordon's aggressively
sensual performance of "Bull in the
Heather
But the real center of attention
for me was guitarist supreme
Thurston Moore. Not fitting the ste-
reotypical image of a guitar god,
Moore looks like everybody's kid
brother. But put a guitar in his
hands, and he turns into Jimi freak-
ing Hendrix.
Moore's performance held me
transfixed as the band soared off
into crazy noise fests like nothing
you'll hear from any other band in
existence. The final song sent me
and several of the people around me
into another dimension. As a friend
of mine said, it was a religious expe-
rience. I haven't been able to take
Sonic Youth out of my CD player
since.
If Thurston Moore isn't the best
living guitar player on Earth, I'd like
to know who is.
With a performance like that to
top the day off, I must say that
Lollapalooza '95 was a rousing suc-
cess. Easily the best show since the
first, this year was a vast improve-
ment over the increasingly disap-
. pointing shows of the last five years.
For the first time in two years,
I'm looking forward to next year's

heavily from other films that noth-
ing original is given to the audience
to savor. The film seems like a com-
pilation of other, better films.
But those negative aspects of
the film, which are definitely prob-
lems, still cannot detract from the
three main positive aspects: incred-
ible sets, great action scenes and a
magnificently evil villain.
The sets in Waterworld will
dazzle the eye. An atoll made of
trash, where an early confrontation
occurs, looks appropriately shabby
and lonely. The floating garbage
heap seems to be the only sign of
humanity for miles. The desolation
of the atoll looks so frighteningly
real that it alone can make one wary
of the future.
The Mariner's boat is another
spectacular eyecatcher. At the begin
ning of the film, the Mariner must ?
speed away to avoid a group of pi-1
rates who call themselves Smokers, i
The sails unfurl in a wondrously
grand fashion, allowing the Mariner
to escape. The Smokers' home base.
an old oil tanker, also provides an
appropriately grungy set for the fi-
nal confrontation between the mari-
ner and the Smokers.
Waterworld is. at its heart, an
action film. Just like Mad Max (and
the sequels) and Aliens, the science
fiction aspects of the film get up-
staged by the climatic battles be-
tween good and evil. Chases be-
tween boats and wave runners,
fights between the Smokers and
their victims and fights between the
Mariner and just about everyone in
the film provide the punch in
Waterworld. Even the poor story
cannot detract from the action
scenes once they begin. The script
seems to be only a poor excuse to
fill the gaps between the action.
Dennis Hopper quite easily
steals the acting kudos in
Waterworld. 1 have long maintained
that a film with a credible villain,
one you love to hate, can get by on
that villain alone. Dennis Hopper, as
the Deacon, does the equivalent of
a perfect dive by making the Dea-
con so outrageously evil that the
audience cannot help but laugh at
him.
The Deacon is about to kill a
man when the man reminds the Dea
con that he promised not to kill him.
"Did I?" asks the Deacon, somewhat
confused. "Ah. maybe I did. I don't
know. Here he says as he hands
the gun to one of the Smokers to
kill the man instead.
At another point the Deacon
asks a 10-year old girl if she would
like to smoke. "Never too early to
start he sneers with a mellifluous
growl.
Waterworld will probably stay
afoat at the box office for a while
yet. Though not a great action film,
it manages to upstage many of the
other action films of the season, and
in doing so provides the viewer with
a nice summer diversion.
On a scale of one to ten,
Waterworld rates a six.

Herman. He does a really good im-
personation of another Vince - Vince
Neil. This is not a good thing, by the
way. There's a reason you won't find
Motley Crue playing zydeco or blue
grass in this millennia or the next.
This Herman guy has a background
in improvisational acting, and he uses
this "talent" to ruin every possibility
this band and live album might have
had.
They need to fire Herman and
let the much more proficient har-
mony singer. Drew Emmit, take over.
He has a wonderful Wuegrass voice
that is reminiscent of a young Bill
Monroe, and he plays mandolin,
fiddle, flute and guitar.
Nevertheless, the choice of mu-
sical style on this album wastes
Kmmit's talents. In fact, the Leftover
Salmon's banjo player, Mark Vann.
is also a tremendously talented mu-
sician who is misused. He has won
top honors at the well-known Tellu-
ride Bluegrass Festival, but only on
a few numbers can you even hear his
playing through the morass of "cre-
ative live noodling" on this album.
The only reason I can find to ex-
plain why this band got together in
the first place is that they are trying
to capitalize on the new surge of
bands riding on the coattails of the
Grateful Dead, such as Widespread
Panic. Phish and so on. This is evi-
dent in the fact that their fans are
called "Salmonheads much like
"Spreadheads" or "Phishheads
However, they've got a lot of changes
to make before they can expect to
make any real money with that
crowd.
All in all, I can see why this
salmon was leftover and not finished.
It leaves an incredibly bad taste in
your mouth (and your ears don't feel
so great, either).

from page 21
Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia
died.
Okay, maybe that's not so hei-
nous.
I've never been a very big fan of
the Dead, and so maybe I'm not the
best person to eulogize Garcia in print
But then again, maybe that detach-
ment makes me the perfect person.
No offense to the late Mr. Garcia or
his many fans, but all good things
must come to an end.
The Grateful Dead made a lot of
sweet music and definitely added
something irreplacable to the-rock
world. They spawned one of the big-
gest counter-cultures in the world and
encouraged such subversive practices
as the sale of bootleg live recordings
for their fans.
By all accounts, they were nice
people who just wanted a little peace
in the world. And that's a good thing.
But they hadn't cut a really good
album in years. Their musicianship
was as strong as ever, but some of the
creativity of their earlier years seemed
to have left them. It was time for the
Grateful Dead to rest.
So mourn Jerry Garcia. He was a
rr.an worth mourning. But just be
thankful that he didn't carry on until
he became a joke.
Now if only Keith Richards and
Mick Jagger could leam that lesson.
I'm not sure what all that has to
do with birthdays, except perhaps that
they get the better of us all eventu-
ally.

ECU Athletics A-Z
If you can't be an ECU athlete, then be an athletic supporter. Here's a quick A-B-C'&of
how to be a true Purple Pirate throughout next season's football season.
z ? Athletic Department Ticket Office. Here, along with Mendenhall Student Center, is where you can pick up your free ticket for every home
football game starting a few days prior to the game.
D ? Busted. Public Safety got you for underage drinking. If you're 21, remember to carry your ID as you frolic through the tailgating fields. If
you're under 21, it can get risky. Besides, they'll make you reluctantly pour out your cup in front of them. That's more painful than
getting a ticket
L, ? Coach Steve Logan. Took a 2-9 squad and turned them into last season's 7-5 Liberty Bowl competitors in Memphis, Tennessee.
U ? Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Home football stadiurriQor your ECU Pirates. They're going to expand in a couple seasons, so fill the stands they
have a reason.
L ? "Experience the Excitement ?1995 ECU football team motto. The Sept. 16 home opener with Central Michigan won't be as exciting if we
kick off with an 0-2 record.
i ? First Down ? Pirates! (You'll learn)
(jr ? You can bring Grills to cook while tailgating ? but let's not burn the woods down, OK?
11 ? Half-price ticket. When you get your freebie, you are allowed to purchase one for nine bucks for a friend, grandma, or even your pet chimp
Wait a minute ? animals aren't allowed to roam Dowdy-Ficklen (Unless it's a seeing-eye monkey.)
I ? The University of Illinois. Whipped the Pirates badly in the aforementioned Liberty Bowl, but will host the Pirates in a rematch on
September 23.
J ? Jerris McPhail. Must step up play to help ease the graduation of ECU's all-time leading rusher Junior Smith in the Pirate backfield.
ix. ? Kegstands in the tailgating area before all the football games. Kegs aren't allowed anymore. Games will start at two, so you might not wafiJ to
make this buffet your breakfast of champions. Editor's note: Parents, please use the Armed Forces "don't ask, don't tell policy Thanks.)
Liberty Bowl. We lost 31-0. Nuff said.
Ill
IVi Mike" linebacker BJ. Crane. Fun to watch play, even more fun to interview after a Pirate victory. The senior ranked second on last year's
squad with 79 tackles.
IV ? Not a good idea to play frisbee golf during tailgating. Leave the discs at home Saturday, but bring them back Sunday to play through the'
endless piles of trash left on the fields. Better yet, clean up your trash on Saturday so there is no problem.
L ? Only a certain amount of half-price tickets are available for each game, so line up early. Once they're gone, they're gone.
I ? Porta-potties, good idea. Bushes and trees and behind your car, bad idea. Getting ticketing for public urination isn't a great way to start your
college career. Although the lines may be long, it'll be worth the wait.
ifJ ? A new Homecoming Queen and King will be crowned during halftime of the Oct. 21 ECU-Temple matchup.
I ? Road trip! September 2 against Tennessee. Grab a few people on your hall that you don't really know yet and head to Knoxville.
i ? Student gates. These are specially-marked to reduce the amount of time to get in and out of the stadium. You won't be able to get in the
other ones, so don't bother trying. Once you get in, you can sit wherever you want on the student side.
1 ? Tailgating takes place everywhere, but the two fields near the intersection of Charles and Greenville Blvds. are the major congregation sites.
The Frisbee Golf course is on the left hand side, while freshman parking is on the right, so you might want to move your car somewhere else
before the crowd gets there.
Underneath the stadium stands, the faithful Pirate fan will find restrooms, snack bars and souvenirs. Use the stairs, though, don't go the
back way. That whole gravity thing comes into effect when you're on the top row of the stadium and try to climb down, even if you are
sober.
V ? Vivarin. With a weekend of tailgating, football and nightlife, Monday morning's 8 a.m. test will come along much quicker than you think.
VV ? "Wine and cheese" fans. Typical of a UNC or Duke game. You know them ? they're the ones who show up an hour into the game and leave
forty-five minutes early. Don't do it here, ECU's thrown together some electrifying starts and finishes over the years, and you might miss
another one.
A. ? Xylophones! Xylophones! Xylophones! ECU's fine marching band performs at every home game.
I ? Your fdjks want tickets for the big ECU-Tulsa matchup on November 11. Drop by the Athletic Ticket Office, and they'll be glad to hook you
up with seats. Or, if you don't want to worry about your parents paying you back, tell them to call 1-800-DIAL-ECU and do it.
L-i ? Although you may just think you're sleepy, don't try catching any Z's in the middle of the stadium or tailgating areas. People passing out all
over campus is not a major drawing point. Wait till you stumble back to your cramped residence hall room.
