Around the State
(AH) - As many as 4 million
fish have died in the past week in
the lower Neuse River because of
a toxic algae.
Researchers believe the al-
gae, a dinoflagellate named
pfiesteria, is triggered by nutri-
ents in rain runoff and sewage
discharges.
Fish continued dying Tues-
day as the effect of the organism
intensified. Rick Dove of the
Neuse River Foundation said the
dead fish were found with open
sores on them in a thick oily sub-
stance with brown foam, The Sun
Journal of New Bern reported
Wednesday.
(AP - Narrow guidelines
have apparently prevented North
Carolina women from seeking
state funds to get an abortion, and
officials say the money may re-
main untouched.
Last year, the state's abortion
fund paid for 4,587 abortions. So
far this year, it hasn't paid for even
one.
To qualify for state funds
under the legislature's new rules,
a woman must be the victim of
rape or incest or face life-threat-
ening complications with her
pregnancy. Also, her family's in-
come must fall below the federal
poverty line.

Professor charged with assault
Police serve
criminal summons

Tambra Zion
News Editor
A criminal summons was served
to an ECU chemistry professor on
Sept. 20 in the Flanagan Building,
following an alleged assault on a stu-
dent.
Communications major Vince
Ronald Mercuri,21, filed a report with
ECU's Police Department against
David Lunney for allegedly pushing
him off a sidewalk on Sept 9.
Mercuri said he was walking with
a friend in front of the greenhouse at
the Biology building when Lunney
approached him on the sidewalk.
"He just gave me a shoulder, like
a forearm into my side, I thought it
was one of my friends Mercuri said.
Mercury said he was not hurt by
the alleged contact, but said he felt
something should be done.
"I'm certain the allegation is a
misdemeanor offense said University
Attorney Ben Irons. "This is a rela-
tively minor incident
What some might consider minor
has led to a student filing charges
against a faculty member and will
soon be in court Lunney chose not
to comment, but called the charges
"utterly unfounded
The trial date has been set for
Oct. 16.
"When Vince came to me. I
didn't spend enough time talking
with him about the incident and all
the options to help the parties in-
volved come to a reasonable solu-
tion Dean of Students Ronald
Speier said. He regrets not taking a
more active role in mediating the
situation. "As dean of students, I have
a responsibility to students "
Mercuri also regrets the matter
will result in a trial, but said he be-
lieved he had no other options. He
said Speier advised him to contact
ECU police who in turn told Mercuri
he could choose to press charges or
not.
"He didn't say he was sorry I
never would have thought about do-
ing something like this (going to
court). I was trying to find other ways
with the police Mercuri said.
Mercuri is planning to find rep-
resentation in the District Attorney's
office, or to represent himself.
According to Assistant District
Attorney Glen Perry, if found guilty,
the Class 1 misdemeanor carries a
punishment of up to 120 days in jail.
but rarely amounts to that.
"We have structured sentencing
now - it passed last October. If a per-
son has no prior record, he's sen-
tenced at a Level I. Under current
law all the judge could do would be
to give community punishment
Perry said. "If a person has one to
five prior convictions, he could get
jail
Perry said the courts take the
victim's desires into account but
added, "we generally do not dismiss
assault cases

Researchers at ECU's School of
Medicine are conducting studies on
a gene that could help people suffer-
ing from morbid obesity and type II
(obesity related) diabetes.
The research team lead by Dr.
Stephen Usala, an assistant profes-
sor of endocrinology at ECU's School
of Medicine, recently received a grant
for $91,000 from the American Dia-
betes Association.
"This institution has a long his-
tory of doing premier research with
patients suffering from morbid obe-
sity and type II diabetes Usala said.
"What opened up doors in obesity
research was the discovery, less than
a year ago. of the obesity (ob) gene
The ob gene, a protein which
suppresses and controls appetite, was
cloned last December by researcher
Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller Uni-
versity. The research found that the
ob gene clearly causes obesity in a
strain of inbred mice.
According to Dr. Kirk Ways, as
sociate professor,
and director of the
ECU Diabetes Cen-
ter, "The research
grant was obtained
to see if the ob
gene is expressed
differently in hu-
mans
ECU'S re-
search will focus on
two areas.
"Our research
here at ECU is con-
centrating on two
candidate genes,
tumor necrosis fac-
tor-a (TNF-a) and
the ob gene Usala
said.
Usala studies
the levels of TNF-a
and the ob gene in

prior consent from the abdominal
area and subcutaneous (beneath the
skin) tissue of patients receiving gas-
tric bypass surgery or other surgical
procedures at the ECU's school of

samples of two types of human fat
tissues because the fats have differ-
ent effects on the body Usala said.

nal area makes humans more suscep-
tible to heart disease, diabetes and
other illnesses
According to Usala. the research
on the ob gene and its relation to
obesity and type II diabetes will be
useful in developing future treat-
ments for sufferers of these diseases,
and not for weight-loss treatment.
"There is still no evidence that
the ob gene can help regulate regu-
lar weight-loss Usala said.
Report conflicts with survey
Marguerite Benjamin
Senior Writer
A recent "Pirates on the
Street" survey conducted randomly
on campus suggests that students
are very environmentally aware and
believe recycling is a worthwhile
project, yet a detailed report pre-
pared by the North Carolina Office
of Waste Reduction in Raleigh
shows those students may not prac-
tice what they preach.
According to the most recent
annual report concerning recycling
among North Carolina state agen-
cies, ECU is ranked the highest (in
terms of the total number of
pounds recycled) of the 18 state
universities who reported having a
recycling pro-
gram, but a
closer look at
the report
shows that stu-
dents should
not take credit
for our ranking.
ECU's total
amount of mate-
rials recycled
from July 1 to
June 30 weighs
in at an impres-
sive 3,880.709
pounds. The
only other universities coming
close to this figure is N.C. State,
whose total is 3.675,060, and UNC-

Armistead said
"According to the report, about
3 million of the 3,880,709 pounds
we recycled came from construction
debris and
yard
wastes. So
if students
really are
recycling as
much as
they say
they are.
there is
something
terribly
wrong with
these fig-
ures
As far
as indi-
vidual ma-
overlook what percentage of each
material recycled makes up that
total
According to the report, the
material? students are most active
in recycling - aluminum cans, glass
containers and nlastic containers,
actually make up less than one per-
cent of ECU's total recycled mate-
rials.
"If you pay careful attention to
the charts in the report
Armistead added, "you can very eas-
ily see that students had very little
to do with why the university is
ranked so high
According to Armistead and to
report data, institutional materials
make up almost 90 percent of the
materials recycled by the university.
Institutional materials are defined
as those materials mainly handled
by the campus maintenance staff.
These materials include cardboard,
yard wastes, food service wastes
and other non-student recyclable
materials.
"What's peculiar about the
large amount of institutional mate-
rials recycled, is that 70 percent of
those materials are generated by
the construction projects on cam-
pus, and another large percentage
comes from yard wastes
terials recycled, those materials for
which students hold the most re-
sponsibility, are concerned. ECU re-
ported 416.675 pounds compared to
the 618,752 pounds reported by
N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hills re-
port of 1,854,860 pounds.
At 8,612 pounds, aluminum cans
make up the largest percentage of in-
dividual materials recycled at ECU.
while UNC-Chapel Hill reported hav-
ing recycled 45,920 pounds. In fact,
even Appalachian State, whose stu-
dent enrollment is nowhere near
ECU's. reported having recycled
13,667 pounds of aluminum cans.
Of the four other universities
mentioned, ECU recycled the least
amount of glass containers (only
5,720 pounds), while UNC Chapel
Hill recycled the most, outweighing
our total by about 280,000 pounds.
"So if our ranking was based on
what students recycled Armistead
added, "we would be pretty close to
dead-last
Residence Halls Housekeeping
Manager Patti Gullihur said that in
order to increase the amount of ma-
terials students recycle, the students
themselves have to put forth a little
more effort
"Basically what it all amounts to
is training ourselves Gullihur said.
"Sometimes it takes more effort than
we are willing to exercise because we
tend to get lazy. It's so much easier
to just throw everything into the
trash than it is to .separate plastic
from paper and so on.
"Housekeepers do a good job of
trying to separate the things that are
put into the trash cans in the resi-
dence halls, but it's really not up to
them. We each need to play our part
if we want to see an improvement
Gullihur also said more recycling
bins should be available, especially
for plastics and glass, but first stu-
dents should make sure they are us-
ing current bins.
"There's just not much incentive
among students to recycle said Joy
Hudson, the recycling coordinator for
Pitt County, it's just not very con-
venient since there are not bins for
plastics and glass in each residence
hall. Students would much rather
throw everything in the trash than
travel to another building to dispose
of plastics
Hudson said she feHs the uni-
versity needs to do more to encour-
age recycling, and that students
should be made aware of all of the
ways they can help.
According to Hudson, the
Greenville community is a leader in
recycling. The city's recycling pro-
gram has won awards on both the
regional and national levels.
Greenville currently recycles more
than 30 percent of its waste stream.
We're increasing the amount
we recycle all of the time Hudson
said. "And we will continue to look
for new ways to improve our pro-
gram
As a whole, Greenville is going
over and beyond the recycling speci-
fications set by the Department of
Environment. Health and Natural
Resources, but ECU has some im-
provements to make in order to reach
those standards.
For now, ECU remains at the top
of the recycling list, but when the
construction stops and the dust
settles, the university may find itself
at the bottom of the barrel.

ECU students in the School of
Medicine will join thousands of other
medical students around the United
States in learning about primary care
as a career option during the second
annual National Primary Care Day.
National Primary Care Day is
being held today. Students at 141
allopathic and osteopathic medical
schools will participate.
"The response from the residents
and students towards the different
activities that were planned this week
has been good Fortner said. "I am
really pleased at the success of the
programs
Started in 1994. the event was
formed to increase awareness of medi-
cal students and society to primary
care medicine. This event helps medi-
cal students learn the advantages of
becoming generalist physicians with
skills in family medicine, internal
medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and
gynecology.
The goal of National Primary
Care Day is, "To get the word out
about what primary care really is.
People don't understand what pri-
mary care physicians do said Ami
Ingram, a fourth year medical student
at ECU, in a recent article in Medical
Center Mews.
To help students better under-

Legislative Studies. Simon's work
on the Polish parliament will be the
opening chapter.
"We're really very pleased, be-
cause this is a good example of a.n
international team of scholars shar-
ing their insights, and trying to
break new ground Simon said.
While the group was working
on projects concerning the new par-
liaments of Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union, a troubling
thought occurred to them.
"We became concerned that
this valuable information about the
new parliaments would get lost
Simon said. "So we started propos-
ing to various parliamentary librar-
ians and scholars that we attempt
some kind of project to create a cen-
tral archive for those kinds of docu-
ments, so that scholars around the
world could use them.
"So the idea was essentially
one that came out of necessity, and
it turns out that it was a very good
idea, because the National Science
Foundation has very graciously pro-
vided us with funds to carry out
the project
Currently, the group is collect-
ing very basic documents about
parliament members and legislative
activities, including such things as
how many laws are passed, and how
many sessions are held.
The National Science Founda-
tion grant, which will support the
project for five years with
$145,000, was not easy to obtain.
"It's a lot of hard work Simon
said. "You have to come up with a
very good idea. The proposals are
very difficult to write. They have
to have some validity as research
projects, and they must have some
promise to break ground. There's
a lot of grueling, intricate writing
that has to be done.
"We received support from our
Offices of Sponsered Programs, but
in the end, you have to wait until
panels of outside reviewers decide
that the project is one that is more
meritorious than others that have
been proposed
For now. the project will cover
five years, beginning with the 1989
fall of communism, going through
the 1991 breakup of the Soviet
Union until the year 1994. Parlia-
mentary documents will be col-
lected from Poland, the Czech Re-
public, the Republics of Bulgaria,
Hungary. Moldova, Romania,

mitted to the primary care field said
Tom Fortner. director of the Medical

"For those who are less certain, this
provides them with the information
and helps them to raise their aware-

Fortner said many people do not
realize that primary care does not just
take place in a typical doctor's office.
Primary care occurs in inner city com-
munities, rural areas and Native-
American reservations.

will be a computerized collection,
that can be quickly referenced from
far away via a motem.
"We hope
that things will
be available
through Internet,
but we will see.
There may be
something, when
we can find some
additional fund-
ing, that will be
more ambitious
Simon said.
The group
has already ap-
plied for additional grants, with
which they hope to expand the
project
"We would hope to have more
information about the political bi-
ographies of members, the activi-
ties of specialized committees
within parliaments, the structure
and activities of political parties
and information about public opin-
ion about the functioning of the
parliaments Simon said.
The group won't know the fate
of a grant proposal for a four-coun-
try survey until 1996, but they
hope to receive an answer to their
second proposal, to study members
of the Czech parliament, by the end
of this year.
"We hope down the line to
have one archive set up in a Euro-
pean center. Not necessarily a uni-
versity, it may be in something like
the Interparliamentary Union in
Switzerland, but that is something
we have some time to consider
Simon said. "We hope to have some
kind of workshop here next spring,
which would bring some people
here to ECU who are interested in
this comparative parliamentary re-
search
The project's future beyond the
grant is uncertain, but Simon re-
mains optimistic.
"We really do have some of the
leading political and legal scholars
in the countries that we're inter-
ested in, and of course the people
in their parliamentary libraries,
those are the crucial people
Simon said.
"I'm generally an optimist
about the development of democ-
racy, but democracy is a fragile
concept, and a fragile set of insti-
tutions and procedures Simon
said. "It will take at least several
decades before we will really know
how well parliamentary and demo-
cratic institutions take hold in
these countries, but there's a lot
of good people making very hon-
est efforts to transform the politi-
cal systems, and this is what's ex-
citing about the project, because
parliaments are the heart and soul
of any democratic government, and
we will be watching them very care-

Our View
The
university's
doing its part
to recycle, so
now it's time
for you, the
student, to get
busy too. You
don't want to
live in the
Road Warrior
do you?
The world is getting old, and we've got to take bet-
ter care of it.
I know that's nearly a cliche these days. I must
admit, I'm damn tired of hearing about it. The mes-
sage is delivered so earnestly (and so often) that it's
almost as annoying as Sally Struthers starving kids
spot. I know the few occasions I've had to watch an
episode of Ted Turner's insipid "Captain Planet" car-
toon have made me want to go out and dump some
crude oil on a wildlife preserve.
Be that as it may, the anti-pollution message is true.
We've really got to watch ourselves. The more we pol-
lute the Earth, the closer we get to some kind of bi-
zarre Road Warrior style apocalypse, a world where
people fight over such precious resources as water and
oil.
One way everybody can participate in this effort to
save the nlanet is to recycle. Recycling cuts down on
both pollution and the waste of the Earth's resources.
But hey, ECU has a great recycling record, right?
Well, see, apparently that's only because of all the
construction that is going on. The construction com-
pany is recycling like a madman, dumping everything
it can into the recycling bin.
The students, however, are apparently just big slobs.
We don't recycle nearly enough, despite the fact that
we're all big-brain college folks who know all about
that Road Warrior pollution process. We're supposed
to know better.
You'd think, with all the beer that gets consumed
around here, we would be the kings of recycling.
Bottles and cans are two of the biggest parts of the
recycling business, and we the students of ECU are a
recycling gold mine.
I know, I know. When you're stumbling around on
clean-up patrol the morning after, the fate of the Earth
is the farthest thing from your mind. That's why you
prepare to recycle before your head feels like it's go-
ing to split open like an overripe melon.
Get an extra trashcan for recycling. Put a basket-
ball net over it. That wav, when you're crawling around
on all fours trying to collect stray cans, you can just
toss them in and make a game of it for your beer-addled
brain.
I won't even go into all the paper that gets wasted
around here, but suffice it to say we could all have a
better track record there, as well.
So get off your recycling butts, ECU! unless you
want to live in a Road Warrior world, you must change
your lazy ways. And no offense, but 1 don't think many
of us would look very good in those skimpy leather
bondage suits those post-apocalypse people favor

The best way to screw up ideas
In the 1960s America was faced
with the biggest revolution it had
faced in almost 100 years. There was
a need of change. The purpose of that
change was to right the path our na-
tion had steered since the Civil War.
It was a chance to, once and for all,
protect the rights of all men and
women. At the center of this move-
ment was the Voting Rights Act of
1965.
The Act was originally con-
structed to protect minorities voting
privileges from the corruption of lo-
cal government. It outlawed discrimi-
natory policies such as literacy test-
ing. This type of reform is good and
definitely well overdue (almost 200
years to be more exact).
Unfortunately, in this day and era
people have a bad habit of abandon-
ing the spirit of the laws and replac-
ing them with their versions of the
letter of the laws. This is best seen in
what has been done with the above
mentioned Voting Rights Act of 1965.
When exercised as it was in-
tended, it was effective. Between 1964
and 1969 the number of blacks regis-
tered to was in the South more than
doubled. Up until 1963 less than 100
black officials had ever been elected
in the South, by 1973 there were 191
in Mississippi alone.
In 1982 Congress decided to re-
interpret it and thus manipulate the
letter of the law. Through this manipu-

t is bad because
it takes large
portions of many
communities and
places them into
a single unit
lation they were able to show that
certain groups were in fact entitled
to political set asides, areas that they
were sure to win. Not only were they
given areas, but it was stressed that it
was the federal government's respon-
sibility to ensure that quotas for these
offices were met It was felt that the
only way to prove that the minorities
were effective in using their voting
rights was to have it proven through
electoral rights.
The problem with this is that it
forces the American people into the
ignorant belief that people of the same
race must all vote the same way. For-
tunately, the Supreme Court has seen
the light and shot down several of
these districts. In 1993 the Supreme
Court shot down the North Carolina
voter, redistricting a plan that created
a zone that was 160 miles long anc
for the better part of its length it was
no wider than the stretch of Interstate
85 which it followed.
This ruling, according to Justice
O'Connor, "Political Apartheid" was
being created.
The same was found in July when
they ruled against a similar plan from
Georgia. Justice Thomas, in agreemenl
with the majority, stated that it was
"an offensive and demeaning assump
tion that voters of a particular race
will, because of their race, have the
same political preference
If anything, this minority-major
ity districting can only hurt the
groups. In general, it is bad because
it takes large portions of many com
munities and places them into a single
unit where they can no longer affect
the other groups.
It is fair to assume that the GOP
would be well benefitted by this move
because it takes large predominately
democrat supporting sections of mi-
norities out of four or five districts
and places them in one. They lose the
one district but are allowed to carry
the others easily through the void
created.
The idea of doing away with mi-
nority-majority will not mean that
minorities will lose seats, it will mean
that there will be access to more of
them.
To the Editor:
Most of the stereotypes that Jus-
tin Conrad suggested Greeks have to
deal with are ones that they create
themselves - through their words and
actions. Not until some part of their
system is challenged do we hear the
positive qualities of their organiza-
tions. I live in a dorm for three years
and had numerous neighbors in so-
rorities. Although not everything I
heard was negative, most of it was. I
would hear women complaining about
upcoming charities and "stupid func
tions But the most common subjects
were drunkenness and sex resulting
from their socials. I simply think that
rather than attacking those who hold
the negative attitudes because of
these stereotypes, that it would be
more effective to go to the source of
the problem and have the members
of the organizations promote the
more positive aspects.

Gabbing about gossip
To the Editor:
This is a letter of official and
public apology to Coach Van Sant, Mr.
and Mrs. Leggett and all the people
who work so hard to make the East
Carolina Pirates football concessions
program the great success that it is.
First of all, I would like to apologize
for all the silly things I wrote in my
letter to the editor of The East Caro-
linian in the issue of Thursday, Sept
7. We, the concessionaires now have
the contract that is fair to all con-
cerned, thanks to the efforts of Coach
Van Sant who generously restructured
our contract for this football season
accordingly. We now are given 30
cents for the $2 selling price of every
soda we sell at the football games.
I am reminded of the great All-
American football player, George
Koonce who recently gave $10,000
to the Pirate Club. George, who has
gone on the NFL as one of the great-
est football players of all times, made
this sacrifice to help the East Caro-
lina Pirates athletics program, by so
doing, George has given back some-
thing to oui school that gave him such
an excellent start in his football ca-
reer. Think about what we as students
could do to help the East Carolina
pirates to be the very best in the Na-
tion!
Here's what you and I, and ev-
eryone here at East Carolina Univer-
sity can do at least four more Satur-
day afternoons this fall. Get the East
Carolina Pirate spirit of the East,
come to the football game to cheer
the Pirates football team on to the
Peach Bowl again this year. Buy a
soda of your choice from me, Rich-
ard Becker, of any of the young
people at he football game who work
there as concessionaires, and a bag
of peanuts. We sell large cups full of
America's most popular sodas such
as Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Mountain
Dew along with large bags of deli-
cious roasted peanuts for your en-
joyment and, to help the East Caro-
lina Pirates build a winning athletic
program. So, here is your chance to
do your part as a loyal and true East
Carolina Pirate football fan. I am
looking forward to seeing you at
Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, Sept
30. Thank you very much for your
support.

This article is about sex! Well,
in a way it is. Okay, this article is
actually about talk shows and their
topics. You might be thinking, "how
could he write an entire article on
talk shows Well let me put it to
you this way, have you ever turned
on the television in the morning
and not seen two or three different
shows all talking about sex?
There are so many talk shows
that I can not even list them all in
this article. I would have to have a
page devoted just to this article to
show you how many there really
are.
Talk shows began with pio-
neers such as Phil Donahue. And
now we have the Danny Bonaduce
show and that girl, Gabrielle, from
"90210 I can not turn on the TV
for one minute without finding
some talk show that has a topic
involving sex, sin or scandal.
What ever happened to "Leave
it to Beaver where the topic of
each episode might be where Beav
got caught bringing a frog to
school?
Talk shows are becoming det-
rimental to our brains. Do 1 really
want to know that Girl X's boy-
friend slept with Girl Y and then
Girl Z? NO! Entertainment can be
found on other channels. Here is a

prime example of how talk shows
go too far: The "Geraldo" show. I'm
not talking about his everyday
shows (which are bad enough as it
is), 1 mean the one specific episode
where he helped provoke a fight
This infamous episode in
Geraldo's second season brought
him international fame for having
his nose broken. These are the kind
of stunts that talk shows hosts do
to get the ratings.
I almost guarantee you that if
these "hosts" tried getting real act-
ing jobs, they would find them-
selves out on the street Real ac-
tors find themselves having to
study and research a certain part.
Then they have to rehearse a writ-
ten script.
These "hosts" come out with
these whacked-out ideas and then
bring on guests to grill them for
juicy gossip. A prime example of
this is when Geraldo brought on
news writers for The National
Enquirer. The sole purpose of this
episode was to pass on gossip about
the stars of today's movies and TV.
Can't these people get lives or
real jobs? I don't find it appealing
to sit down and watch a breast im-
plant on TV. If that interests you,
then watch the "Gabrielle" show.
Again, you might have a ques-
tion like this: "How do you know
so much about these talk shows if
you hate them so much?" That's
exactly what you were going to ask
next wasn't it? Well, the answer is
quite simple really, "Talk Soup
Perhaps the only true show on day-
time or any other time on television,
"Talk Soup's" sole purpose is to
preview and recap talk shows. Yet,
they do not just show you the high-
lights, they maKe fun of the shows
as well.
It is nice to see that someone
else in this world besides myself sees
that these shows go too far. I know
that 1 am not the sole believ n

steps into deep space. Hostile
aliens who want to make sure we
stay put on Earth. A team of young
hotshot space fighter pilots who
seem to be all that stands between
the Earth and utter annihilation.
Sounds good, huh? Sounds
like the stuff of great space opera,
the kind of premise that would
make really cooi sci-fi TV.
Unfortunately, this premise is
being wasted on a new FOX series
called "Space: Above and Beyond
Airing Sunday nights at 7 p.m
"Space" is the brainchild of former
"X-Files" producerwriters Glen
Morgan and Janes Wong. In star-
tling contrast to their intelligent,
moody work on that show. "Space"
is the retarded mutant offspring of
"Batdestar Galactica" and "Melrose
Place
The premise is basically
"Galactica" in reverse; instead of
trying to find Earth, humanity is
trying to escape it. Society is crum-
bling as the planet's population in-
creases more every year, and aew
space colonies are one answer to
our problems. Unfortunately, our
first two colonies are attacked and
destroyed by a mysterious alien
species.
Enter the Space Marines!
Whoo!
Our heroes are part of the
elite Marine Space Aviator Corps,
and it's with the actors portraying
these stalwart guardians that the
"Melrose" influence is most
strongly felt. Our heroes are all
amazingly beautiful young people,
gorgeous and plastic as the crappy
prop helmets they wear. These
people are just too perfect, walk-
ing talking Barbies and Kens with
all the personality and acting abil-
ity that implies.
But 1 can forgive that I refuse
to hate them because they're beau-
tiful: that's too easy. There's plenty
of other things to hate about
"Space without having to resort
to that
One thing would be the stock
characters. Nathan West our main
character, wants revenge for the

Here the dancers of Collectively Speaking (l-r: Marelle Carter.
Sandra Tillett and Terri Winchell) perform "Labyrinth The
company will appear on campus this weekend.

If you want to see better danc-
ing than what goes on downtown,
you're in luck. Collectively Speak-
ing a Greenville-based modern
dar.e company, is presenting its
premier performance at ECU'S
hepv ot Theatre Arts Studio The-
atre. Sept and Oct 1.
Co ectively Speaking was
formed two years ago. but now has
enough dancers to perform its own
show. The concert is entitled
"Weeks' Works: A Retrospective
and features five pieces choreo
graphed by Collectively Speaking's
artistic director. Patti Weeks
In addition to Weeks, other
company members include two ECU
graduates that are now public
school educators iJane Atkinson
Peele arid Terri Winchell). one that
is teaching in a private studio
(Christi Warreni and, four Kef
dance majors i Marelle Carter. Done
Geissler, Tara Martinelli and
Sandra Tillett).
The group will perform five
dances in a variety of choreo-
graphic approaches. "Bach Suite"
is a lyrical movement piece sec-
tioned into three solos and a trio.
In "From Whence I Came the au-
dience hears the inner dialogue of
a woman who expresses her inse-
curities related to living in a male-
dominated world.
"Crooked Sky is an abstract
dance built around images of the
rugged canyons of the southwest-
ern U.S. and the ever-changing
landscape. "Fields of Vision" is a
statement on lookism: that is, judg-
ing people (and often ourselves)
solely on the way they look. The
concert ends with a section from
"Labyrinth which highlights the
technical skills of the dancers in
this highly energetic excerpt.
Collectively Speaking has per-
formed in informal concerts at ECU
and across the state. Their goals in-
clude performing in various venues
throughout the state and conduct-
ing residencies in schools and com-
munities in eastern North Carolina.
There will be three perfor-
mances: Saturday, Sept. 30 at 6:30
and 8:30 p.m. and Sunday. Oct. 1 at
2 p.m. The concert will be in the
Messick Theatre Arts Studio Theatre
on the corner of 5th and Eastern
Street.
The suggested donations are $5
for the general public and S3 for stu-
dents and seniors. Sealing is limited,
so get your ticket in advance or
make reservations. If performances
are not sold out. tickets will be avail-
able at the door. For ticket reserva-
tions or more information, contact

"SNL" faces changes

the hardest one of all.

process that began once the show
went on summer hiatus. After iden-
tifying "what we thought as a core

One major result: a half-dozen
new cast members, including David
Koechner and Nancy Walls (from
Chicago's Second City comedy
troupe), Wiil Ferrell and Cheri
Oteri (from the Los Angeles-based
Groundlings), standup comedy-im-
pressionist Darrell Hammond, and
standup comic Jim Breuer.
They will join just five return-
ees in the "newer and fewer" en-
semble: David Spade (who will have
his own weekly department), Norm
MacDonald,
Mark McKinney,

and Molly Shan-

Gone are
other longtime
players, includ-

Kevin Nealon,
Mike Myers,
Chris Farley,
Adam Sandier,
Chris Elliott and
Michael

There will
be lots of new
writers, new co-musical directors
and a new director, Beth McCarthy
(replacing veteran Dave Wilson).
Much will stay the same: guest
hosts and musical guests (for the
season premiere, Mariel Hemingway
and the artist formerly known as
Prince), commercial parodies, and

took place in Studio 8H on the
show's brand-new set. This back-al-

enough, but it sticks so closely to
the downtown look the show has
always had that viewers might not
notice any difference.
While "SNL" has much to
prove during the 1995-96 season,
it has even more to disprove: That
it's worn out and irrelevant, an in-

crowd most of the time, there are
moments when they present them-
selves seriously. These moments,
such as "View of the Rain" (about
everyone's search for identity) and
�Digital Black Epilogue" (about
hope in times of trouble), tend to
resonate more because of the laugh-
ter that surrounds them.
Back to the KISS connection,
over half the songs on this album
("JaywalkinV -The Break 'Need
Sorr Air "This Is No Place "Take
Me "And You'll Say and "Tin
Foil") sound like they came out of
the Destroyer sessions, full of
cheese and guitars. I guess this is a
generational thing, but I'll be the
first to admit that I loved KISS when
I was a kid.
We all knew that KISS wasn't
the be all, end all of bands, but for
a time they made life fun and excit-
ing. Gene Simmons was like some
comic book character come to life,
with his forked tongue that dripped
blood and his Dragon outfit.
Well, exit the Dragon, and en-
ter Urge Overkill. This album isn't a
masterpiece, but it sounds great, it's
fun. and there's substance under-
neath the flashy surface.
death of his one true love at the
hands of the aliens.
Shane Vansen, tough-as-nails
female cadet, fights to exorcise the
demons of her tortured past.
Cooper Hawkes, ex-con and
product of a military genetic en-
hancement program, who hates nor-
mal humans for their prejudice
against his kind, called "Tanks
Let's face it, these are all people
we've seen before. There's also a
cartoonish drill sergeant, the obliga-
tory nervous guy. a reserved Tank
officer who becomes our heroes'
commanding officer and a bland fe-
male character who says she "lacks
direction" (no kidding!).
There's even a guy with "Dead
Meat" stamped on his forehead. Ca-
det Pagodin 'or Pag) befriends the
surly Hawkes, thus sealing his own
fate. Hawkes, after all. needs to find
a reason to fight, since his hatred
for humans makes him less than
eager to risk his life for them.
Killed literally minutes after
reaching out to Hawkes, Pag be-
comes the rebellious young Tank's
single motivation.
But all these sci-fi and war
movie cliches aren't even the biggest
problem with "Space: Above and Be-
yond
No, that honor goes to the
botched handling of the cool science
fiction concepts that are the show's
real underpinning.
In one scene, the cadets unex-
pectedly encounter and capture an
alien. This is an encounter with a
race they know nothing about, a real
first contact situation. This could
have been a really good creep-out
scene, as our awe-struck heroes re-
move the alien's space armor and
uncover some hideous alien physi-
ognomy.
Unfortunately, all they do is
stare at it, and eventually kill it. In
the most ludicrous scene in the epi-
sode, the young cadets show amaz-
ing communication skills as they in-
terpret the creature's every vague
gesture with stunning accuracy.
Then they stupidly try to pour
water through some obvious breath-
ing vents in the side of its head!
When the alien convulses and dies
minutes later, they assume it com-
mitted suicide.
Yep, that must be it. Couldn't
have had anything to do with that
foreign substance you shoved into
its lungs!
But the worst sin of all for
"Space" is that its dogfight se-
quences lack any choreography or
sense of excitement. The computer-
generated ships look nice, but the
maneuvers they execute are
yawningly boring. Even "Galactica"
had better space battles than this!
"Space" creators Morgan and
Wong need to go back and watch
Star Wars again, or at least some of
the old World War II fighter plane
movies they claim to be emulating
in the first place. Maybe then we'd
get the action this show promised.
With poor scripting, bad acting,
lame battle scenes and missed op-
portunities for cool sci-fi thrills,
"Space" fails at every turn. Let's
hope this show gets an overhaul
soon; it would be a shame to let such
a good concept go to waste.
On a scale of one to 10, "Space:
Above and Beyond" rates a lame
four.

Cheerleaders: the
team behind the team
Craig Perrott
Staff Writer
When the football team takes the
field on Saturday afternoons, there is
another hard-working, dedicated team
right alongside them: the cheerlead-
ers.
Cheerleaders in general have
been stereotyped again and again, but
the word "dedication" sums up what
cheerleading is all about If you were
among the Pirate faithful who stuck-
out the wet conditions during ECU's
thumping of Central Michigan two
weeks ago, you saw the cheerleaders
pouring their hearts out to the end.
"You have to like the game to
cheer said varsity cheerleader and
senior, Taemi Gilley. "We were in a
pour-down in the rain, but we had a
good time. We're a close squad
The cheerleaders practice seven
days a week. Sundays being optional,
so when Saturday rolls around it's
their time to have fun.
��When
people actually
look at us up
front, I guess
they don't real-
ize how much
work is put into
this Gilley said.
Beside prac-
ticing every day,
the cheerleaders
have mandatory' weight-lifting twice
a week, as well as a timed run once a
week. Some of the cheerleaders also
have jobs. This extracurricular stress
combined with schoolwork makes for
a difficult schedule.
"You have to like
the game to
��
Many different aspects make up
the sport of cheerleading. Gymnastics,
flexibility, and dance are important for
the girls while strength and technique
are crucial to the guys. The physical
i demands are great
for the ladies, as
their knees are
heavily stressed
during jumps,
drops and tum-
bling. As for the
guys lifting the
girls with one
hand, it's not what
it seems to be.
"It's a learned technique varsity
captain TJ. Sawyer said. "It's more
technique than muscle, I can tell you
that It takes a lot of practice; I've been

Swim teams stroke
for season victories
J. Miles Layton
Sports Editor
The swim and diving team is
gearing up again for a champion-
ship season. With a four to six-mile-
a-day workout in the pool, the
women's team reigns as last year's
champion of the Colonial Athletic
Association (CAA) and hopes for a
repeat performance. The men's
team has dramatically improved
and is stroking ahead towards its
goal of winning another (CAA)
championship.
Coach Rick Kobe is the man
who is training the team to make
all this possible. His hard regimen
consists of two workouts a day. Ev-
ery other day, the team swims a
couple miles in the morning and a
few more in the afternoon for a two

Volleyball team digs in for win
Avram Klein
Stmff Writer
Tuesday night, the Lady Pi-
rates turned Williams Arena from
a volleyball court into a battle field.
After five intense matches of play,
the Pirates finally won a victory
from the UNC Wilmington visitors.
While the players waited for
the first match to begin, they seem
relaxed and were smiling. The team
had a definite feeling of confidence
in themselves as players and as a
team that comes through in their
attitude towards one another.
With the completion of the Na-
tional Anthem, Head Coach Kim
Walker collected the Pirates for a
quick pep-talk The coach took on
an air of seriousness, a more tran-
quil, focused, hawk-like character
than the easy-going coach I've in-
terviewed over the phone and be-
fore practices.
The first initial volley landed
in favor of Wilmington, but the Pi-
rates struck back and took control
of the ball with the second serve.
Each time the Pirates won a vol-
ley, the team exploded in unison
with a loud "Yeah Their yells
served as an invigorating pat on the
back as well as a means to intimi-
date their opponent.
The Pirates were fresh and
powerful in the first match. As soon
as the team began to show a lack
of control on the ball, they recoiled
and struck back across the net with
fierce precision. The Pirates were
personified by their spirit and cel-
ebrated each score with high fives
and they scream, "Out together
when the Wilmington ball flew over
its estimated mark.
The Pirates took the first
match with considerable ease, win-
ning 15-5.
The second match took off at
full speed. The Pirates were forced
to dive for attempted kills sent over
by Wilmington, and they returned
the favor, earning the first point.
With a victory under their belt,
Walker began to shed a few smiles
and was not afraid to visibly show
displeasure for inaccurate line calls.
After an initial lead by the Pirates,
Wilmington was able to bring it to
6-6.
With a grueling struggle for
power on the score board,
Wilmington called a time-out with
10-11 on the board in order to bring
in a new server. Possession of the
volley changed hands four times
without a point scored, until ECU
was able to tie it up before taking
an additional time out. Unfortu-
nately, the match ended quickly
with a loss for the Pirates at 11-15.
By the third match, players on
both teams were beginning to tire.
ECU began to have trouble with
their serve. The Pirates had a frus-
trating struggle to catch up to
Wilmington, who stood at ieast five
points ahead for the majority of the
playing time. After a streak of mis-
takes, ECU began a fierce climb up
the score board and took a time out
with 9-11.
As the score tottered at 13-12,
coach Walker sat tentatively, as if
she were a scientist watching and
waiting over a delicate experiment.
Then, with 13-14 on the board.
Wilmington took a 'time out' and
came back to win in the next vol-
ley.
The Pirates knew they had to
win the next set to stay in the
match and that's what they did. The
score was evenly weighted through-
out most of the match with ties on
the board at 7-7 and 12-12 that took
a long time to break: ECU eventu-
ally won the match with 15-12.
The fifth and game winning set
was a rally-scoring match in which
each play could mean a score for
either team. The excitement of the
match doubled as the playing be-
came a mixture of frantic and pre-

Competition was fierce last weekend in the King and Queen of the Hill competition which
pitted residence hal! against residence hall to see who had the best athletes on campus.
For junior Chris Padgett, soc-
cer has been a way of life from a
very early age. This 5-foot-9, 145
pound, midfielder from
Swansboro, N.C has been playing
the sport since the age of four, and
has been playing for the ECU team
for three years.
This two-time letter winner
and co-captain of the men's 1995
soccer team was last season's lead-
ing scorer with six goals and three
assists. Coaches will look to this
creative and skilled player to be
the leader on offense once again
in '95.
However, this season he has
remained scoreless, but Padgett
still remains optimistic. "I'd love
to come back this year and score
10 goals he said.
His scoring drought could be
due in part to a tough schedule,
that so far has included three na-
tionally ranked teams: North Caro-
lina, James Madison and Old Do-
minion.
"It's been a rough year so far
said Padgett. "We've played qual-
ity teams from traditionally good
soccer schools. We'll have to take
those losses as learning experi-
ences
Padgett is playing the same
position as midfielder as he did
last season, but believes his role
is a little different from last year.
He thinks the team seems to be
taking on a different style than the
'94 season. This could be due to
the a new head coach, Will Wiberg.
As a freshman, Padjett started
in every game. He was the teams
second leading scorer during his
first season. Coach Wiberg said
Padgett is one of the best hustlers
on the squad and never gives up.
He demonstrated his tough will by

Padgett believes he can help

"Lead by example and show

During his junior and senior
years at Swansboro High School,
he earned all-conference, all-region

dedication he had in high school
has carried over into his playing
years here at ECU.
To date, the men's soccer team
is 1-7. with 12 regular season
matches left until the start of the

Championships which begin Nov.

For this urban and regional

will be his last year of eligibility).

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFECRD IT.
Can't afford to save for retirement?
The truth is. you can't afford not to.
Not when you realize that your retirement
can last 20 to 3o years or more. You'll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning.
By starting to save now, you can take
advantage of tax deferral and give your
money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: Set aside just $100 each
month beginning at age So and you can
accumulate over $172 ,109 by the time
vou reach age o5. But wait ten years and
you'll have to budget $219 each month
to reach the same goal.
Even if you're not counting the years to
retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF
to help you build the future you deserve-
with flexible retirement and tax-deterred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest-
ment choices, and a record of personal
service that spans y5 years.
Over 1.7 million people in education and
research put i IAA-CREF at the top of
their list for retirement planning. Why not

CHEER from page 11
on the squad for four years and I'm
just getting those things down
There is another facet to
cheerleading than leading the football
team to victory, and that's competing
with other cheerleaders.
The Pirates are involved with the
Universal Cheerleading Association
(UCA). and compete with cheerlead-
ers from universities around the na-
tion annualy. The first round of
competetion submits a videotape of
the team's performance. The teams
are then ranked regionally, (the Pi-
rates placed sixth in the southeast last
year), and a certain number of quali-
fiers make it to the finals.
Last year the finals were held in
Orlando. Florida. ECU placed 14th in
the nation among such schools as
Tennessee, Kentucky and South Caro-
lina who offer full scholarships for
their cheerleading teams. ECU pro-
vides no financial support for it's
cheerleading squad.

cheerleading is the trips you get to
go on said Sawyer.
Besides going to Orlando last
year, the squad traveled with the foot-
ball team to Auburn. Trips to Ten-
nessee and Illinois highlight the sea-
son for the cheerleaders in 1995.
Pee Dee the Pirate is also a vi-
tal part of the cheerleading team.
Brian Barbour is one of four people
who make Pee Dee come to life ev-
ery week.
"It takes a lot of dedication
Barbour said. "It's really hot inside
that suit, you can't see, and it's hard
to breathe. But, it's worth it. Pee Dee
represents the school and he is the
number one fan for East Carolina
Besides physical endurance, it
takes a lot of creativity to be a mas-
cot. You have to pump up the crowd
when the team is winning, and en-
tertain them when they're losing. Ac-
cording to Barbour, Pee Dee is the
personification of fun.
"If it wasn't for Pee Dee, I
wouldn't be in school said Barbour
For all the hard work that Pee
Dee and the cheerleaders put into
what they do, all they ask for in re-
turn is a little respect
"I wish people would give us
more respect, from the students to
the administrative officesaid TJ.

Rachel Atkinson, a senior, has
swam for four years and hopes to

Atkinson does the Kobe regi-
men because of the satisfaction she

Sandra Ossmann, a sophomore,
is in her second season with the
team.

ning Ossmann said. "Last year we

Being surrounded by a lot of
seasoned talent does not intimidate
Ossmann.
"It makes me admire Rachel for
sticking with it all these years she
said. "I hope I can do that also
The team has to get up three
mornings a week and swim from 6-
8 a.m. to get in extra miles before
the more rigorous afternoon work-
out.
"It's not my favorite thing to get
up at 5:30 a.m. in the morning and
jump into a cold pool Ossman said.
Vitier is not a morning person.
"The worse part is waking up
when it is all cold outside and get-
ting into freezing water instead of
staying in a warm bed Vitier said.
Moody says the worst part of
swimming is the extra laps.
"Probably the worst part is to
try and convince yourself that you
can go one more set when you don't
have the energy to go any further,
but you do anyway Moody said.
The team's first meet is Oct. 3
where they will compete against
each other in a pentathalon. Each
swimmer will predict his or her own
time in five events. In between each
100 meter set, the swimmer will get
a 12 minute rest Before finishing,
each athlete will have to do the but-
terfly, freestyle, breast and back-
stroke. Points will be awarded to
those who come closest to their
goals and beat them. The one clos-
est to predicting his or her perfor-
mance will win. The pentathlon
starts at 3 p.m. at Minges pool.

playing, into a swarming hive with
the energy of a NASCAR pit stop.
ECU held Wilmington on the
board at 13, climbing from 9 to 14
with three real points and took a

seats as the last serve is made and
Wilmington hits the ball out of
bounds. The crowd exploded to
their feet screaming for the victory.
