Enrollment increases

Governor Hunt

dollar budget
Amy L. Royster
Assistant News Editor
Expansion on campuses in the
UNC system comes in the form of ris-
ing enrollment new computer tech-
nologies, and Governor Hunt's pro-
posed $100 million budget.
Children of baby boomers are ex-
pected to boost enrollment by at least
two to three percent annually at uni-
versities over the next decade, said
UNC system president C. D. Spangler.
"We know where these children
are, they are in the third or fourth
grade, and the universities are prepar-
ing to accept any of these children who
can benefit from higher education
said Spangler. "They are planned for
According to Spangler, ECU is pre-
pared to meet the demands of becom-
? ing a university with a population well
exceeding 20,000 students.
"ECU has new dinning facilities,
and a new library is in the works said
Spangler. "With the addition of the
new rec center, they will have the fa-
cilities needed to the expected enroll-

Spangler said that while the ma-
jority of the expected new students are
children of baby boomers, many are
adult students. Potentially, additional
computer technologies could make it
easier for adult students to obtain post
graduate degrees.

Fund-raising campaign exceeds goal
Extra $15.5 million
awarded to scholarships,
programs, facilities
Kelly Sullivan
Staff Writer
More than a year after the Shared Visions campaign
reached its goal of $50 million, the campaign continues
to thrive.
Chancellor Richard Eakin announced on March 22
that the campaign exceeded its original goal by $15.5
million.
"Five years ago our consultants projected we could
raise between $35 million and $40 million Robert A.
Ward, co-chairman of the fundraising campaign said. "As
our first major campaign, even many of our friends
thought that $50 million was just too aggressive. Once
again, the East Carolina family rose to the challenge
The campaign began in 1990 to raise funds to en-
hance the school's medical efforts, athletics and academ-
ics. The plan met its goal in Dec. 1994 and exceeded it by
30 percent one year later at the close of the campaign.
"We read each day about the inequities of school fund-
ing in regard to programs, facilities, scholarships, educa-
tional opportunities Ward said. "Reaching $65 million
is a tribute to our institution, our leadership, our alumni,
the 700 volunteers who helped identify and solicit gifts,
and the 12.000 individual donors whose gifts made the
project successful
Ward said that friends and alumni contributed the
most to the campaign, donating $17 million, or 52 per-
cent. Corporations and businesses contributed $12.7 mil-
lion, or 19 percent; boards donated $7.7 million, or 12
percent; university families donated $4.6 million, or 7 per-
cent; foundations contributed $2.6 million, or 4 percent
parents donated $500,000, or 1 percent; and $3.5 million,
or 5 percent came from other sources.

Two panics slaughtered at N.C. State
Two ponies at N. C. State's College of Veterinary Medicine were bru-
tally gunned down early one morning in late April.
One of the ponies was dead when an employee discovered it around 6
a.m. tying on the ground. The animal had been shot five times.
The other pony was found alive but suffered from several bullet wounds.
After teing placed in intensive care, the pony was euthanized.
A third pony was wounded by a bullet to the neck. Fortunately, the
bullet lodged in fatty tissue and did not kill the pony.
Officials deny any link between the pony shootings and the February
killing of UNC- Chapel Hill sports mascot Rameses the Ram.
Kilter at the University off South Florida gets life
A man who killed his ex-girlfriend outside of Alpha Hall two years ago
at the University of South Florida was sentenced to life in prison.
Peter Harold Howarth must serve at least 25 years in the Florida State
Prison before being eligible for parole in the murder of 19-year old Heather
Marie Haupin Feb. 18, 1994.
Howarth shot Haupin twice in the head at point-blank range with a
.32-caliber semiautomatic handgun after leaving a White Zombie concert at
the Sun Dome. Haupin died instantly.
15 minutes later, as university police approached him, Howarth shot
himself in the neck.
Haupin had been within days of filing a restraining order against
Howarth, the father of her four-year-old son Leif.
Six hours before her death, police say Howarth left a cryptic message
on Haupin's answering machine.
"We're going to be together forever he said. "I promise you. It's been
a good life
Duke students demand apology from campus police
Eight Duke University students met with University Police Chief Don
Gold to demand an official apology for the lack of protection at a Great Hall
party sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. held in late March.
A Raleigh man was severely beaten, a female Duke student was almost
assaulted and a male Duke student was surrounded by a mob outside of the
Student Union on the night of the party, according to witnesses and police
reports.
The Duke students said that University Police refused to help the woman
when she asked for assistance.
THe students asked for an investigation into the events, as well as
identification and suspension of the officers involved.
Gold said that altercations occurred when a large group was not admit-
ted to the party because it sold out Gold said he initiated an internal affairs
investigation after speaking to the students.

Business students excell at National Conference
ECU students are
three of only 15
national winners
Jaqueline Kelium
News Writer
Three ECU students were awarded
special recognition for their efforts
during the past school year as ECU
was ranked third nationally when the
Society for the Advancement of Man-
agement (SAM) held an International
Conference this past March.
Philip T Antle, Meleah L. Barnhill,
and William R. Parker won National
Outstanding Student Awards. This
award is the most prestigious that a
student SAM member can receive. The
students given this award were three
of only fifteen selected nationwide.
The conference was held March
13-16 in Corpus Christi, Texas and in-
cluded over 300 SAM members. Vari-
ous sessions, seminars and competi-
tions were conducted. The students
were given the opportunity to network
with other students and gain experi-
ence in their field.
The case analysis competition
tested the students' skills in solving
business problems. The students com-
peted in teams of three and were sent
the case analysis problem approxi-
mately two weeks before the confer-
ence. They were not allowed help from
faculty members or any outside
sources, only the knowledge and skills
they have acquired over their years of
study.
"It's a great exercise faculty ad-
visor Stephen Childers said. "This type
of competition gives you a chance to
take everything you've learned and
apply it to a real world problem
ECU took six students to this con-
ference, the most they have ever taken
in one year, and because of the size of
the group were able to compete in both
the undergraduate and open divisions
in the case analysis competition.
The schools participating in the
conference were also judged and
ranked for the quality of their campus
business clubs. ECU placed third in this
competition, which was based on the
entire year's performance.such as
tours, speakers, and community ser-
vice.
Childers commented on the ECU
business club's community service in-
volvement
"We did some work with a home-
less shelter Childers said. "We gave a
couple hundred dollars worth to the
Salvation Army in clothes and house-
hold items
In order to be considered for the
award, the three winning students had
to first be nominated by their advisor.
Three is the maximum number a single
school is allowed to nominate, Childers
added.
All three of ECU's nominations
won at the Regional level and contin-
ued on to the National level, where all
three again won honors.
Meleah Barnhill was also elected
by her student peers at the conference
to serve on the International Execu-
tive Board. As a student member of this
board she will go to approximately four
meetings a year and represent student
interests.
Childers said no ECU student has

Our View

Editorial board

explains the
'Our' in
"Our View"
p

a ?
Editor's Note: Outside of the doors of The East Carolinian
(TEC), the "masthead" is the list of staff members on the top
right side of this page. For lack of a better word, we use the
terms "Our View"and masthead" interchangably.
Have you wondered how we get the ideas that are expressed
in "Our View?" Well, wonder no longer, we are here to explain.
Each week all the editors and assistant editors in our re-
spected sections sit down and have our editorial board meet-
ing. Sometimes the meetings take hours, even days. OK, actu-
ally it only takes about 10 minutes to come up with topics, but
sometimes it seems like hours. We brainstorm topics that are
relative to the news of the week. It may be campus news, com-
munity news, world news and sometimes even sports gets thrown
in.
We try to write on subjects that not only interest us, but
you too. We don't want to write on dead-beat subjects. Some-
thing no one will want to read is useless and we know you
deserve the highest quality we at TEC can offer.
Everybody votes on two topics they like and the top two
vote getters on the list are the mastheads for the upcoming
weeks. Everyone is assigned to write the "Our View" each week,
so everybody gets a turn to write on subjects, that sometimes,
they really don't have a strong opinion about.
Thai a where the rest of staff comes into play. Because not
everybody thinks alike, after we choose our two topics, every-
one in the meeting throws out ideas on why they like the topic,
hate it agree with it or disagree. The writer for that masthead
jots down the ideas and incorporates those views into the col-

Letters to the Editor
N.C. Race: No room for moderates
- To the Editor:
The two party system has de-
? prived North Carolina voters of any
jreal choices in the 1996 U.S. Sen-
ate face. Both parties have nomi-
fi?Jd candidates that represent the
extremes of their respective parties.
Republicans re-nominated
Jesse Helms, a card-carrying mem-
ber and leader of the far right move-
ment. Senator Helms has a long
record of regressive voting on edu-
cation, the environment and a long
string of other issues. The fact he
is a professional politician with 24
years under his belt in Washington
only worsens his standing.
The democrats nominated a
candidate that also represents the
extremes of their party. Harvey
Cantt opposes capital punishment,
favors racial quotas and has already
been rejected once by North Caro-
lina voters. Cantt cemented his left-
wing credentials by calling his op-
ponent a racist to mobilize his base
in the democratic primary.
It is unfortunate two career
politicians that are willing to use
race to their advantage are the only
options in this Senate race. Moder-
ate voters don't have any choices
in this election. It's no wonder
people are sickened by the state of
our political system.

pawor- Her, re.?fA,
Now
Summer school rocks
Welcome to the Jungle. Oh no,
I think that I have gone off of the
deep end. I have reached the point
of no return in my writing career.
Assuming this article gets printed I
have an actual printed record of
having used a quote from a Guns
and Roses song to introduce an ar-
ticle. I think this shows my madness.
Yes, there is a point.
I think that I am going mad be-
cause I chose to be in school for an
optional three months. This may
sound scary but you could be in the
same danger that I am in. You could
have this problem too, if you are
here of your own accord. Here's a
few things that can set off a person
with the madness. Read at your own
risk.
I chose to not be able to find
my way around a campus that I have
spent three years on. Being in sum-
mer school means a lot of things,
but this summer it means that on
anv given morning your favorite
area of campus could be fenced off
and closed from entry. This then
allows me to get to school everyday
with the anticipation of a lab rat
waiting to get his chance at the
maze. If you have class in the Gen-
eral Classroom building and you
need to use the ATM machine be-
fore you go to the food mobile or
whatever it is that they have wittily
called the " Wright Re-place then
strap on those running shoes and
put on a pack because it is almost
impossible to find your way.
For me, this is a summer of hav-
ing too,much homework for one
class. In my class we are doing at

least 15 pages of wriaen work a
night. Hello? What are they think-
ing? I would like to say that I love
my professor.
Being in summer school means
that you most likely have to find a
job. If you have ever lived in this
booming metropolis during the sum-
mer or even if this is your first sum-
mer here you will know that if you
don't get the coolest job in the world
befcre summer starts then you ei-
ther become poor because you can-
not find a job. or if you are lucky
enough to find one. it will most
likely stink.
I guess I need to figure out what
stage of childhood I missed while
daydreaming that taught people that
summer was supposed to be a work-
ing and stressing time of the year.
There is much to do except enjoy
the sunshine. Which brings me to
the lighter side and possibly the an-
tidote to the disease that caused me
to begin the later stages in my adult-
hood when I refer to bands long
stricken from the playlist of any ra-
dio station.
Greenville in the summer is hot.
You can spend your tree time, as-
suming that you can find some, bak-
ing in the sunshine. It is so nice also
to be so close to the beach. I grew
up more than five hours from the
coast so a beach trip was out of the
question except on the family vaca-
tion in late summer one week a year.
Now I can get out of class and head
to the beach and be back for Punky
Brewster at 9 p.m.
There I go again.
Summer is such a better time
to get to know people or to meet
them than fall or spring semesters.
This is getting a little corny. Let me
bring us back to reality.
It is good to meet people but
it's even better to spend time with
them if you have something silly to
complain about like the fences on
campus, the food or the homework.
I have convinced myself, which I
have become quite good at doing,
that the parts of life especially here
in wonder world that is ECU. that
are bad just give us something to
whine about.
As an opinion columnist. I am
so very thankful for any bone-head
moves by anyone in the public eye
or any part of college life that is silly
and give me something to write
about.
Welcome to Summer school.
May your days be filled with sun-
shine and your nights with good
sleep. I care about you guys. I love
you man. See ya next week.

Summer theatre
offers mystery
and hilarity
Jay Myers
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Is it just me, or does the cam-
pus effectively shut down once May
rolls around? Despite the fact that
most campus activities are cut back
in the summer, the ECU Playhouse
valiantly strives to provide enter-
tainment and fun for those students
who every year brave the ghost
town that is ECU from May until
August.
The ECU Playhouse has always
furnished a smorgasbord of theat-
rical treats for the summer fare, and
this year is no exception. Accord-
ing to Gary Faircloth, the general
manager of McGinnis Theatre, the
Playhouse's yearly summer plan is
"to have a musical, a comedy, and
another play, one that has received
critical praise
This year they've lined up Car-
ousel from June 18-22, Daddy's
Dyin Who's Got the Will? from
July 2-6 and Sleuth from July 16-
20. Two of the plays, Carousel and
Sleuth, have both received Tony
Awards and are recognized as be-
ing modern day classics.
Carousel, a musical written by
Rodgers and
Hammerstein,

If you're craving a bit of culture
or just a break from your hectic
schedule, the Florida Printmakers
Society: 7th Annual National Print
Exhibition, to be held in the
Wellington B. Gray Art Gallery,
might be just the thing for you. The
exhibition will run from July 15-
Sept. 7 and is free-of-charge to the
public.
The works of 48 printmakers
will be presented at this exhibition.
Two of the printmakers. Michael W.
Ehlbeck and Michael Voors, are cur-
rently members of the East Carolina
School of Art faculty.
Also, Tom Hammond, professor
of art and printmaking at the Uni-
versity of Georgia and an alumnus
of the East Carolina School of Art,
will be represented in the exhibition.
Hammond will give a lecture about
printmaking on Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. in
Speight Auditorium.
This is the first year that this
particular exhibition will be held on
East Carolina's campus. According
to Dr. Gil Leebrick, director of Gray
Art Gallery, the purpose of the ex-
hibit, and the art gallery in general,
is "to educate students and to in-
form the faculty of what is going on
in art really to engage the Greater
Greenville community
Since the gallery is primarily a
teaching facility, the exhibition was
chosen to complement the curricu-
lum of the art department. Exhibits
are chosen so that every medium is
covered in a 2-3 year cycle. This ex-
hibit will, of course, represent the
print medium.
Examples of prints range from,
among others, intaglio (the incision
of lines that will hold ink into a
metal plate) and lithography (which
literally means "stone writing") to
relief (the exact opposite of intaglio
- in relief, the raised surface is
inked).
According to Leebrick, Gray Art
Gallery is the largest teaching gal-

Dale Williamson
Senior Writer
Hollywood is always looking for
the next big marketable thing. A few
years ago, it was dinosaurs. Last year,
a man dressed as a bat made a come-
back. This year, nature rules at the
box office. As strange as it may seem,
tornadoes are the "in" thing at the,
moment, and Warner Brothers' new
film Twister taps into this current
phenomena.
Critics across the nation are al-
ready praising the film for its special
effects wiz-
ardry. The

fects team for

f o r m
miracles with
their com-
puter tech-
nology. The

bother with a
story at all, why

effort into it?
which are the
selling point of this film, don't disap-
point. These twisters look amazingly
realistic as they destroy barns, hurl
live cows around, and throw transfer
trucks as if they were weightless.
While these critics praise the spe-
cial effects in Twister, they also are
quick to point out that the story is
weak, as are the characters. However,
these same critics forgive the filmmak-
ers because what really matters are
the tornadoes. Let me stray fipm the
pack for a minute. I admit that the
tornadoes are the focus of Twister, as
were the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park,
but I still don't understand why we
have to sacrifice an engaging story
and characters that are somewhat
complex in exchange for great effects.
If you're going to bother with a story
at all, then why not put a little effort
into it instead of following the typical
Hollywood formula?
Without going into any detail, the
basic premise of the story involves a
separated couple, Bill and Jo Harding
(played by Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt
respectively), who find themselves
thrown back together when a record
outbreak of tornadoes occurs in Okla-
homa. As this couple, along with their
team of scientist companions, chase
one tornado after another with a sci-
entific invention they created to ana-
lyze and study torna-
does, we do witness
attempts at character
and story develop-
ment, but these at-
tempts prove to be
frail and even cliched.
Screenwriters
Michael Crichton and
Anne-Marie Martin do
their best to provide
characters with inter-
nal motivations, haunted obsessions
and human qualities, but the end re-
sult is more of a predictable paint-by-
numbers script than a surprisingly com-
pelling story. Not only that, Crichton
and Martin even resort to throwing in
such tired concepts as a sleazy corpo-
rate antagonist who, of course, is not
as skilled at chasing tornadoes as our
instinctive heroes.
The only really interesting element
in the story's concept is how the tor-
?:?,? ,??W??'??
nadoes themselves are given a lifelike
quality. The script plays around with
the notion that tornadoes are their own
entities, even to the point that these
tornadoes growl like some unnatural
beast But even this idea is not origi-
nal. Ron Howard did the same thing
with fire when he made Backdraft.
Still, Twister does deliver on the
action, and that's what really matters
here. Director Jan De Bont is perfect
for the job, especially since he already
proved he could make the mundane
fun with his previous hit, Speed. De
Bont's camera constantly moves in an
action sequence, creating a dizzying
sensation without being distracting.
Visually, De Bont does capture some
memorable moments. A night sequence
in which a huge tornado attacks a
drive-in theater is particularly fright-
ening.
De Bont is also a master at plac-
ing his heroes in dangerous situations.
I have to admire any film that has our
protagonists run into a barn for shel-
ter from a tornado only to discover that
the barn is filled with blades, pitch-
forks, and shovels. Moments like this
make this ride an enjoyable one.
Twister is one of those films that
has many inexcusable faults, but it is
also a film I can't totally dislike because
the elements that work really work
jwelLWhen the action startstfce film's
flaws fade. However, whenever the film
takes a pit stop, the flaws are as un-
mistakable as any tornado.
My advice to everyone, though, is
to see Twister on the big screen, in a
theater with a digital sound system if
possible. I don't see this flick as trans-
lating to video effectively at all.
On a scale of one to 10, Twister
rates a six (an eight if you see it in a
really nice theater).
Evan and Jaron
Band
Not from
Concentrate
Derek T. Hall
Staff Writer
From the depths of Atlanta
they came, with mirror images of
themselves to count on and an ar-
ray of new tunes. Evan and Jaron
are working it out! Working out the
club scene, that is. In only two
years, these identical twin brothers
have released Live at KaLo's Cof-
fee House, a self-published album,
and Not from Concentrate, their
debut studio CD.
And this seven-song EP is defi-
nitely an impressive debut. It opens
up with a tune called "Nature Co
a song that lists the necessary in-
gredients for human survival, one
of them being music, of course.
The most impressive song on
the disc is called "How Many
Times This tune allows Evan to
venture off into a world of his own
by letting loose on his Gibson, an
electric, custom-made guitar that is
perhaps one of a few in existence.
An electric sound is what the
band needs to put them over the
top. Not from Concentrate is defi-
nitely up beat. It shows you a to-
tally different side to these broth-
ers. Before, they were playing
acoustics in a coffee shop and re-
lied on nothing but themselves.
After selling over 8,000 copies of
Live at KaLo's Coffee House, they
decided to get a band and record
Not from Concentrate.
Don't get lured into thinking
that this twin duo is a repeat of the
Nelson boys or any other demented
twins that smiled for the cameras.
This band has respect, something
that most twin rockers can never
acquire.
The music on this disc is very
pop. Although the sound works, it
has been done before. Evan and
Jaron won't win many awards for
originality, but their poppy rhythms
do catch your attention. I think
that's what attracts people to this
band: their simplistic style makes
you wonder what you're listening
to, while you're enjoying it.
I've seen these guys play for a
packed crowd and an empty one.
Their best quality as a band is their
ability to hold the intensity of a
large packed room and also to ad-
just and play like they never have
before to an empty hall.
When all is said and done and
the disc player is dead silent, you'll
probably find yourself glad you
pushed that tepeafbuttonBe care-
ful though; playing it too much is
addictive.
Not from Concentrate suits the
band well as a title. It's not the or-
dinary dried-up crap you hear on
the airwaves. It's the real thing,
picked fresh like a Georgia peach
for your listening pleasure.
Be on the lookout for Evan and
Jaron at the Attic on May 30th. It's
a show that you don't want to miss.

"I guess I was about three
when Mama died.
"I remember, Daddy would
come visit us every night for sup-

to take us home. He said he'd

I sat in the uncomfortable
chair at the nursing home, my jaw
hanging open in stunned disbe-
lief at the story that had just
spilled forth from my
grandmother's lips. In just one
minute, sandwiched unexpectedly
between complaints about grow-
ing old and the sad habits of her
next door neighbor, my father's
mother had set off a bomb in my
brain.
I had never heard anything
about my great-grandmother. In
the multitude of stories that my
family has told about the numer-
ous outrageous characters that
preceded me onto this Earth, she
had never been mentioned even
once. I guess she died so young
that she didn't have the chance
to collect enough eccentricities
for there to be any stories. But
that little snippet of my family's
history, that sliver of traumatic
time, filled in so many gaps in the
other stories.
For one thing, I now knew
who Miss Lizzie was. I had gath-
ered that she had helped raise my
grandmother, but I never guessed
she became part of the family.
The story also snapped an
important piece into place right
at the center of the enigmatic
puzzle that was my great-grand-
father, who was, near as 1 can tell,
a crusty, disagreeable old farmer
who ate mayonnaise sandwiches
every day for lunch and never had
an ounce of praise for anybody.
I've never been able to figure out
what made him that way, nor why
everybody loved him so much.
Now I think I've got some insight
into that first mystery (though I'm
still perplexed by the second one).
But all that history opening
up beneath me wasn't what
stunned me so much.
No, I was sitting there allow-
ing the flies free access to my ton-
sils because I knew that, in just a
few short months, 1 would be 28.
By the time she was my age, my
great-grandmother had married,
built a farm with her husband,
given birth to three children, and
died. Some would say that's a
pretty full life.
This got me thinking: what
have I done with my 28 years?
Well. I've come really close to fin-
ishing a master's degree in En-
glish and gotten engaged. In other
words, not a whole hell of a lot. If

Peppers cure pain
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - When
burning pain lingers months after
surgery, doctors say there is a red-hot
cure: chili peppers.
In a study, an ointment made with
capsaicin (cap-SAY-uh-sin). the stuff
that makes chili peppers hot, brought
relief to patients with tender surgical
scars, apparently b short-circuiting
the pain.
Patients undergoing major can-
cer surgery, such as mastectomies or
lung operations, are sometimes beset
by sharp, burning pain in their surgi-
cal scars that lasts for months, even
years. Sometimes the misery is so bad
that sufferers cannot even stand the
weight of clothing on their scar, even
though it is fully healed.
The condition, seen in about five
percent or fewer of all cases, results
from damage to the nerves during
surgery. Ordinary painkillers don't
work, and the standard treatment is
antidepressant drugs.
However, these powerful drugs
have side effects. So in search of a
better alternative, doctors tested a
cream made with capsaicin on 99 pa-
tients who typically had suffered pain-
ful surgical scars for at least six
months.
Patients preferred capsaicin over
a dummy cream by 3-to-l.
"The therapy clearly worked
said Dr. Charles L. Loprinzi, head of
medical oncology at the Mayo Clinic.
He released his data Monday at the
annual meeting of the American So-
ciety for Clinical Oncology.
The only side effects were red-
ness, burning and an occasional
cough when the patient caught a whiff
of the ointment.
Capsaicin is believed to work by
blocking substance P, a natural chemi-
cal that carries pain impulses between
nerve cells. That same blocking effect
may explain why people who eat hot
peppers all the time develop a toler-
ance to the burn.
Dr. Alan Lyss of Missouri Baptist
Medical Center in St. Louis called it
"a creative, new and very inexpensive
way to take care of some kinds of can-
cer pain
Capsaicin is sold in drug stores
without a prescription, and a tube that
lasts a month costs about $16.
It is commonly marketed for re-
lieving shingles, but Loprinzi said his
study, financed by the National Can-
cer Institute,
is the first to
look at its use
in post-surgi-
cal pain.
In the
study, the pa-
tients were randomly assigned to cap-
saicin cream or the look-alike placebo
four times a day for eight-week inter-
vals. Until the study was over, no one
knew which was which.
Patients kept score of their pain.
It went down 53 percent while using
capsaicin but only 17 percent while
on the placebo. About 10 percent said
their pain disappeared completely.
The doctors followed the patients
for two months after they stopped
using capsaicin and found that the
pain did not come back. A longer fol-
low-up will be necessary to see if the
treatment relieves the pain perma-
nently.
Three strengths of capsaicin
cream are commonly available in phar-
macies. In the study, doctors used the
middle strength. 0.075 percent.
Plans are under way to test a hot
candy version of the chili derivative
for treating lingering mouth pain.

1 was my great-grandmother, 1 would
die with an awful lot of important stuff
undone and my ghost would no doubt
be stuck haunting the sterile halls of
the General Classroom Building to the
end of time.
Now, I doubt I'll be dying any-
time soon, barring unforeseen acci-
dent. Medical science is much more
advanced now than it was in my great-
grandmother's day, and my life hasn't
been nearly as hard as hers must have
been. But on that day in the nursing
home I still found mortality staring
me in the face from the beginning of
the century, and boy was it ever ugly.
I'm not sure what point I want to
make here, what lesson I learned from
this story haphazardly picked from my
grandmother's brain. I guess it's just
the lesson that everyone learns, even-
tually, that death can strike at any
moment and we'd damn well better
make the most of our time. So what if
we'll probably live to a ripe old age?
We're still racing the clock.
This kind of realization adds a bit
more urgency to the unending crush
of day-to-day life, right down to the
most menial tasks. Let me tell you, a
little death urgency makes the soul-
crushing tedium of cleaning a sink full
of dirty dishes go by a whole lot faster.
And some days, that prospect is all
that gets me out of bed in the morn-
ing.
It's that kind of morbid irony that
makes life worth living

Faircloth clarified.
During the fall and spring se-
mesters, the Theatre Arts depart-
ment places a priority on overall
student involvement in the produc-
tion of plays. Once the enrollment
drops for the summer, however, the
student working force is not
enough to maintain the theatre
schedule. This is where the outside
help comes in. The professionals
that are hired for the summer not
only increase student knowledge,
they also provide the means for play
production to continue.
The ticket prices are increased
for the summer but for those on a
student budget, the box office will
be selling tickets at a reduced price
on a show to show basis once all of
the season tickets have been pur-
chased. Students who wish to see
the play for free are also encour-
aged to volunteer as ushers.
However, if you want to pay.
the prices will range from $10.25
to $13.75 for Carousel tickets and
$7.50 to $11.25 for tickets to
Daddy's Dyin Who's Got the Will?
and Sleuth. Performances will be 2
p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays
and every evening at 8 p.m with a
special 7 p.m. performance of
Daddy's Dyin Who's Got the Will?
on July 4. For more information call

Winning tradition halted
Baseball team
sees victory streak
end at 25 years
Amanda Ross
Sports Editor
For 25 years, the baseball team
at ECU has had winning seasons. Not
since 1971 have they had a losing one.
Unfortunately, they broke that streak
this year.
After beating George Mason in
the first round of the CAA Champi-
onships in Kinston last week, ECU
dropped second and third round
games to Old Dominion and VCU, to
end their season 22-24.
The Pirates started the beginning
of the '96 year with a bang. They beat
top-rated Kentucky and Tennessee.
They then went on to win their next
15 of 23 games scheduled. However,
three of those games were postponed
due to rain. So by the end of March,
the Pirates had only dropped five
games. That's pretty impressive.
However, their luck changed dur-
ing the next two months. During
April, five games were won and 11
lost At that point they could only
hope that April wouid lead way into a
more successful May.
But it didn't. ECU finished May
with a 1-7 record before heading into
the tournament as the number five
seed. The tournament is set up in a
double elimination format. A team
isn't completely out until they drop
two games.
Last year, ECU dropped their first
two games in the tournament, first to
Richmond and then to William &
Mary. But this year, a first round win
over George Mason got ECU fans ex-
cited and the players pumped up. ECU
knew they had at least two more
games to play, hopefully more.
A 7-9 loss to Old Dominion and a
0-10 loss to VCU sent the Pirates away
with no championship. The last time
ECU won the title was 1993.
Many positive things came out of
this season. Six players earned 1996
All-CAA honors at the annual banquet
held before the tournament. Senior
second baseman Lamont Edwards and
sophomore pitcher Patrick Dunham
were named to the first team All-CAA.
Senior pitchers Bryan Smith and Jeff
Hewitt, sophomore first baseman
Randy Rigsby and freshman third
baseman Antaine Jones were honored
as second team All-CAA selections.
ECU had the most players hon-
ored by the CAA with the above six
mentioned, with ODU and VCU receiv-
ing five selections each.
I hate to see baseball come to an
end. Some of the most spectacular
plays I have ever seen were made at
Harrington Field this season. The
double plays, stoien bases, strikeouts,
diving catches and homeruns. ECU
has one of the most talented ball clubs
in the country. Of course that is bi-
ased but I am a die hard ECU fan. I
believe any person who saw a game
would say the same thing.
The Pirates will come out next
season ready to avenge this year's los-
ing record. It's plain and simple, Pi-
rate opponent's better watch out

Intramural programs offer relief
Ross Whitfieid
Staff Writer
It has already been a week of
classes and stress levels are soaring.
Nine more weeks of this kind of stress
will take its toll on your body.
While you are concerning your-
self with school, there is one service
on campus that is concerned with
making sure that your summer is not
just spent behind a textbook.
Recreational Services, located in
Christenbury Gym, has done all the
planning to put the fun back into your
summer. The department is devoted
to students and faculty by providing
a broad range of activities.
The highlight of the summer of-
fering by rec services is the adventure
program.The adventure program gives
students, staff and the general public
the opportunity to get away and have
some fun. The department offers a
variety of activities that fit everyone's
interests. Weekend getaways being
planned ior the summer include back-
packing, beach horseback riding, hang
gliding, climbing and canoeing.
According to a brochure pub-
lished by rec services there will be
trips to the Shenandoah National
Park, Cedar Island, Jockey's Ridge
State Park and a Father's Day canoe-
ing weekend in Northwestern North
Carolina. These brochures can be
picked up at Christenbury.
"The rates are really inexpen-
sive Angela Baumann, coordinator
of special programs and publicity
said.
Trips average $34 to $75 for stu-
dents, $39 to $80 for staff and $44 to
$85 for the general public, depend-
ing on what trip you take.Recreational
services provides all your needs for
these trips.

said.
If a weekend
getaway is not
convenient, the
adventure pro-
gram also in-
cludes one of the
fastest growing
sports - rock
climbing.
They also have a climbing tower
which is open for students. Every
Wednesday is free climbing day for
students. It has already opened and
will close on July 24.
The tower is open on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
If theses services are not what
you have in mind, the Recreational
Outdoor Center (ROC) can help you
plan your own trip.
The outdoor center, open Mon-
day through Friday, also has informa-
tion on campgrounds and places you
might want to visit The ROC also car-
ries most of the equipment you would
need to make your trip a success.
"We have a slew of outdoor
equipment" Baumann said. "Canoes,
backpacks, tents, everything. Right
now we have great equipment"
There are a number of on-cam-
pus programs, activities and events
that are available during both sessions
this summer.
Softball, bas-
ketball, tennis, vol-
leyball (indoor and
sand), golf and
frisbee golf are in-
cluded on the in-
tramural sport's
itinerary.
Fitness pro-
grams are also
available. Stu-

Sluggers strikeout
in CAA tourney
Dill uillard
Senior Writer
What started out as a surprising
season for Gary Overton's young Pi-
rates ended sooner than the Bucs had
planned as the VCU Rams handed the
ECU baseball team their dismissal
from the CAA tournament last week
in Kinston.
After a better start than expected,
beating 15 out of their first 20 oppo-
nents of the season, Overton's troops
hit a seven game skid that went into
the CAA tournament This skid was
topped off in Richmond when the Spi-
ders surprised the Pirates by sweep-
ing the purple and gold in the last
regular season CAA series. This
knocked the Pirates from second seed
to fifth seed all in seven games.
With all of this in mind most
young squads like Overton's would
hang their heads when they heard
that their first round opponent would
be George Mason, a team that was
predicted by some to win the CAA.
Oh, but the contrary. Sophomore All-
Conference selection Patrick Dunham
took the mound and blanked the Pa-
triots 1-0 to advance the Bucs to the
winner's bracket This set the match
up between the Pirates and the even-
tual CAA champion Monarchs of Old
Dominion who started that seven
game skid during the regular season.
"I was proud of our club perfor-
mance against Mason Overton said.
"Patrick Dunham pitched an out-
standing game
As the 1-0 score indicates, defense
was the name of the game as both
teams' aces were on the mound
duking it out in an old fashion
pitcher's duel.
"Our defense played an outstand-
ing ball game, but the lack of offense
did concern us going into the second
game with number one seed ODU
Overton said.
The Pirates looked for offense
and got it as the Bucs went back and
forth the whole way, trading the lead
with the Monarchs. The Pirates not
only put up the multiple hits against

across seven runs. Despite the im-
proved offensive production and a late
game rally, it was not enough for the
good guys as they dropped into the
loser's bracket 9-7 against the even-
tual champs.
"We played tough against ODU
and we fought hard, but things just
didn't fall our way Co-captain
Lamont Edwards said.
The phrase "out of the frying pan
and into the fire" comes to mind when
the Pirates had to play the confident
VCU rams in their next game.
"VCU is a team with a lot of con-
fidence who believes they should be
here and believes they can win it all
Overton said.
Gary Overton was not joking and
neither were the Rams as the VCU
lineup jumped all over Jeff Hewitt
early, registering six runs off of seven
hits in the first three stanzas. The
Pirates would look to junior Chad
Newton, who lasted only until the
sixth inning when Newton couldn't

The Pirates left the field for the
last time in '96 with a "L" and with a
22-24 season. This, of course, was the
first losing season for the Pirate base-
ball team since 1971. Despite the dis-

club, the Pirates achieved their share
of success.
For starters, the Bucs put six
players on the All CAA team with two
on the first team and four on the sec-
ond team. Among those on the first
team were Dunham and senior sec-
ond baseman Lamont Edwards.
"Well I came to ECU and played
football on the Peach Bowl team and
played baseball on the CAA champion
team and went to Regionals as a fresh-
man. So to end my senior year at ECU
with an All-CAA selection feels good
Edwards said.
The second team selection in-
cluded pitchers Jeff Hewitt and Bryan
Smith, along with infielders Randy
Ri&sby and freshman Antaine Jones.
"Most of these guys will be back,
so Pirate fans shouldn't worry. This will
be a tough team to beat next season
