Commencement rights denied to summer school graduates

SPECIAL GUIDANCE ISSUES
Terry Best will not be at commencement May
10. When he passes his last three courses in
summer school he will have completed a mas-
ters in accounting, but he must wait until Dec.
13 before he can wear the cap and gown and
find his name in the program.
For the past five years C.C. Rowe, director
of Commencement, has sent a letter to advis-
ers restating the standing policy that only
those students who have completed all of their
course work are permitted to participate in the
activities, but he has always received no
response. This year he sent his message
Second annual
bone marrow
typing held
Daughter of ECU
employee seeks a match
ANGELA KOENIG
HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
STAFF WRITER
On Monday ECU students had the opportuni-
ty to have their bone marrow typed as part of
the second annual marrow-thon.
The ECU American Marketing Association
held the event for ECU employee Marlene
Anderson's daughter, Cornelia, and other peo-
ple in North Carolina who need a marrow
match. Cornelia is a 17 year-old high school
senior who plans to attend ECU when she
graduates. She has aplastic anemia, a foul
blood disease in which the bone marrow is not
producing what it needs.
Last year's event did not find a match for
Cornelia, although the event broke a N.C.
record and tissue typed 753 people in one day.
According to Ona Bishop, the bone marrow
recruiter for the apheresis and bone marrow
recruitment department of the American Red
Cross, tissue typing involves having four table-
spoons of blood drawn from donors. The donor
is then entered into the national bone marrow
bank.
The chances of an ill person finding a match
are one in 20,000, and this can be even greater
depending on ethnic background.
"It only takes one person Anderson said.
If the donor matches with a recipient, the
donor is admitted to the hospital for one night
to have the bone marrow removed. The donor
does receive anesthesia and remains asleep
while the bone marrow is removed from the
upper area of the hip.
"(The doctors can only take seven percent
of a person's bone marrow and that is enough to
save someone's life Bishop said.
This procedure is paid for by the recipient
or the recipient's insurance company, not the
donor.
Although donors do not have to donate
their bone marrow if they are a match. Bishop
strongly encourages only people who are will-
ing to continue with the process to be typed.
"You never have to give, but I would think
that if they got through the process and were a
match that they would want to continue
Bishop said.
"Think about how devastating that would
be to someone to know that they got a match
but the match would not donate Anderson
said.
Although this year's event was free for
African Americans, there was a charge for other
students due to a lack of sponsorship to defray
the cost. The $19 fee is less than the $45 fee
normally paid by donors for tissue typing.
"When you really think about it, $45 or $19
is not a lot of money to save someone's lifc
Anderson said.
Anderson is grateful for all the support she
has received from ECU and the community.
"Even though the turnout was not as great
as last year I'm still grateful for the people who
did come out Anderson said. "I would like to
thank the school for the use of Mendenhall,

through e-mail on Mar. 14, insisting that this
time the policy will not be overlooked, and he
intends to keep his promise.
That's why Best was shocked when he
heard from a Student Stores employee that he
could not wear his cap and gown to the com-
mencement exercises even though he had
already paid his $25 graduation fee.
"It doesn't make sense to tell us less than
two months before graduation Best said.
Rowe said that he sent the message in
March to call attention to the situation.
"Commencement was not on their minds
in September Rowe said. "Any time you've
got a change there's always a little turmoil.
People need to understand what graduation is
intended to be Graduation is intended, he
explained, for only the roughly 2300 names on
the list, each of whom received a letter detail-
ing the rules and schedule of the event.
In the past, students who have only needed
one or two courses have been overlooked, but
gradually more have taken advantage of the
leniency until some graduates still lack full
summer school course loads. At one point a
student participated in the exercises three
times without graduating because of failed
courses.
Some of the students have called Rowe's
office to complain that their names are not
included on the program. After this alerted
him to the problem, he began to see other
complications involved. If the weather is fair,
the occasion will take place in Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium, but in the event of inclement weath-
er commencement will be split into morning
and afternoon shifts and held in Minges
Coliseum, which can hold far less than the
13,000 people expected to attend each section
if the summer school students are included.
Conceivably, in this situation, parents of
the summer school students could come early
and take seats from the parents of actual grad-
uates.
"I envision this happening and I have no
defense Rowe said.
"I agree with the reasons but if the policy
were to be changed, it should have been done
in the fall and we should have been given prior
notification Terry said.
The business school has expressed interest
in allowing him to participate in its own com-
mencement events. He can still get his cap
and gown if he shows the employees at the
student store his receipt from paying gradua-
tion fees, but they are not giving them out
again until Apr. 9.
Rowe said that at the last fall graduation,
which he created for students in a similar situ-
ation, the attendance was low due to the
absence of summer school graduates. He
hopes the new policy will make the fall com-
mencement a bigger event. He would like to
improve on commencement further by making
a full weekend of it, as some universities
already do, having the individual schools pass
out diplomas on the spot at their own com-
mencement ceremonies. Currently, the regis-
trar's office mails them to the graduates
Terry would have to pay his graduation fee
eventually, but he looks on it as a $25 interest
free loan for a year, multiplied by the number
of students who paid it before the Jan. 22
deadline. Unfortunately this is the year all of
those students got hit with the reality of a pol-
icy that is finally being enforced.
SGA Candidates prepare for debate
Presidential hopefuls to face off

SAFETY AND TRANSPORTAT-ION ISSUES
STAFF WRITER
With Student Government Association (SGA) elections nearing, candidates for president of
SGA will begin their race for office with a debate tomorrow night.
Cliff Webster and Scott Forbes will meet to discuss the issues relevant to the campaign in
Mendenhall Student Center at 8 p.m.
Webster has served on many different committees at ECU, and has also worked in the sports
information department and is a liaison to Appalachian State University He has also served on
the Appeals Committee and served as the sophomore class president.
Forbes is the former Public Defender and current Attorney General of the Honor Board. He
said decided to run after being approached by various Greek and non-Greek organizations late
last year.
Webster and Forbes both agree that one of the main goals this year should be making park-
ing less of a chore for students who live both on and off campus.
"hrking on campus is just terrible. Getting a park g deck started on campus is one of my
main goals if I'm elected Webster said.
"Parking is a big problem Forbes said. "I support what they are doing, but there are rough-
ly 20,000 students on campus and only 6,793 spaces to park. A parking deck would be great, and
I think it is inevitable. And we can afford this. We took in $1.46 million dollars in parking and
traffic services last year, with $446,000 of that coming" from fines alone. The University of

Halogen lamps
create safety
concern
Students encouraged to
be cautious of fires
BECKY ALLEY
STAFF WRITER
HOUSING AND CONSUMATORY SERVICES ISSUES
When ECU students return to campus in the
fall, there will be a new addition to the list of
things not to bring to campus � halogen
lamps.
With the recent string of fires caused by
halogen lamps, ECU has been prompted to
take action to ensure the safety of students in
on-campus housing.
"We have not banned halogen lamps or cre-
ated any rules against them. Right now we are
just encouraging people to be very careful with
them and not place anything flammable near
them Inez Fridley, associate director for facil-
ity management in university housing said.
Students are going to be strongly encour-
aged not to bring them to campus next semes-
ter, Fridley said.
"Students won't be in trouble for having
them, but they will be told they really don't
need them and shouldn't bring them. We are
suggesting that any light a student brings to
campus use no more than a 150 watt bulb
Halogen lights have
been directly implicat-
ed in at least 30 fires
this year. The most
dangerous and popular
lamps are the open-
ended or torchiere
style lamps.
This style lamp
leaves the bulb
exposed to anything
that may fall across the
top of the light. A
standard halogen bulb
is from 300-500 watts
and can reach temper-
atures up to 1200
degrees farenheit.
That is approximately
four times hotter than
a standard 75 watt
lighr bulb.
WRAL-News
recently aired a report
showing a demonstra-
tion by the Charlotte
Fire Department
where a tee-shirt was
placed against a 500
watt halogen light
bulb and caught on

Escort services may need police OK soon
CHARLOTTE (AP) - Mice want an ordinance that will make it more dif-
ficult for escort agencies to advertise in the yellow pages.
Such a law, scheduled for a vote tonight before the Charlotte City
Council, would police combat prostitution and other crimes that often
accompany the escort industry, officials say.
More than 100 escort agencies are listed in Charlotte's 1996 yellow
pages. BellSouth allows the ads because the agencies have city business
licenses, said spokesman Curt Peters. �
The proposed ordinance, scheduled for a vote at tonight's Charlotte City
Council meeting, would force escort agency owners to register for a permit
with the police department. Applicants would have to give police proof of
identity, Social Security number and a legitimate business address in addi-
tion to registering each employee.
Police would check the information before issuing the permit. The
agency owner would have to show the police permit when applying for a city
business license.
Negotiators down to final week on redistricting, as
expected
RALEIGH (AP) - House and Senate negotiators have wrestled for two
months over how to redraw the state's congressional districts, but with a
week to go before a federal deadline, no agreement is in place.
Nobody, including the negotiators, is surprised.
By a week from Tuesday, legislators have to submit new boundaries for
the state's 12 congressional districts to a panel of three federal judges. If
they cannot reach an agreement by the deadline, the judges will redraw the
districts themselves.
It is uncertain whether the judges would take into account the wishes of
the state's incumbent congressmen, six Democrats and six Republicans.
Two aeaortwo more injured after robbery at
McDonald's
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Two McDonald's employees were found shot to
death early today and two others critically wounded in an apparent robbery
attempt.
An officer responding to a 911 call just after midnight found the
McDonald's in suburban Hermitage closed and locked. She broke a window
and found the four victims inside, Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron said.
Robert Allen Sewcll, 23, of Old Hickory and Ronald Santiago, 27, of
Hermitage were found shot to death, police said.
Jose Alfredo Ramirez Gonzalez, 30, appeared to have been stabbed and
underwent surgery. Both he and Andrea Brown, 17, who was shot, were in
critical condition this morning at Vanderbilt University Medical Center,
spokesman John Houser said.
Police believe it was Gonzalez who called 911 and was speaking in
Spanish, but the operator didn't understand him. He was found near the
telephone.
Police said money appeared to have been taken from the restaurant, but
investigators refused to specify how much. The restaurant had closed at 11
Shop at Food Lion today to support Easter Seals
Today is the last day to buy food at Food Lion stores and have proceeds
benefit the Easter Seals Society of N.C.
"Easter Seals makes a difference for the disabled in N.C. every day,
and Food Lion is proud to be a catalyst for the generosity of our cus-
tomers and our communities said Tom Smith, president and CEO of
Food Lion in a press release.
For the sixth consecutive year Food Lion stores and food manufac-
turers and brokers across N.C. have helped raise money for the organi-
zation. This year's effort will raise more than $1 million for the organi-
zation making the Shop and Care promotion the largest fundraising pro-
motion for a sure Easter Seals affiliate in the country:
To participate in the Shop and Care promotion consumers must pur-
chase some of the 257 products identified as supporting Easter Seals.
Easter Seals is a non-profit organization which has been helping chil-
dren and adults with disabilities since 1945.
Blood slated for today
Lamda Chi Alpha will be sponsoring a blood drive today at Mendenhall
Student Center from noon to 6 p.m.
"Donating really is the gift that keeps on giving said SGA
Treasurer and member of Lamda Chi Alpha Jonathan Phillips.
Recently ECU's blood donations have decreased.
"There is a shortage of blood in N.C Phillips said. "Usually East
Carolina is really good about giving blood donations
The goal of each blood drive is to collect 75 pints of blood.
Students may donate if it has been at least 45 days since their last
donation.Students who have had tattoos or body piercings may not
donate for one year after this activity.
Environmental Health Club to hold raffle
The UBE Book Store and the Environmental Health Club (EHC) are
collaborating to raffle off three prizes to be awarded May 9. The prizes
will be gift certificates to UBE to be used toward the purchase of text-
books, school supplies, or merchandise. First prize will be $250, 2nd
prize will be $150 and 3rd prize will be $100. These will be redeemable
at UBE through Sept. 15,1997.
Individual members of the EHC will begin selling tickets on April 1.
There will also be sales on several days in front of Mendenhall Student
Center and in front of UBE. The tickets will be $2 each and the num-
ber of tickets is limited. The drawing will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, May
9 in front of Mendenhall Student Center. Winners will be posted at
UBE and at Mendenhall.
There arc plans in the making to offer additional raffles in the future,
both with UBE and hopefully with ECU Student Stores. Students
should look for future announcements for the back to school raffle.

Alabama recently constructed a
parking deck that cost about $6800
per space. The only problem is that
it would take three to three-and-a-
half years to build it
Another issues which both
Forbes and Webster are expected to
agree upon is extending hours in the
library, and the computer labs open
on campus.
"I think it is a travesty that there
is not a 24-hour lab open on cam-
pus Forbes said. "We don't have
enough terminals for everyone to
use and a lot of non-traditional stu-
dents have to work during the day
There are issues which either the
candidates disagree on or are not
both addxssing. Webster said that
one of his issues which Forbes has
not addressed is his desire to have
24-hour visitation in a few of the
dorms.
"We see this popping up all over
the UNC system, and no one else
seems to be having a problem with
it. I think ECU can handle having
one or two dorms with 24-hour visi-
tation Webster said.
Another issue which Webster
said will be central in his campaign
is his suggestion to eliminate the bill
which allows for the turition and
books of several members of SGA to
be paid with student fees.
"Its time for a change Webster
said. "The students deserve some-
one who is working for them. I feel
that the pay which they receive is
compensation enough for the job
which they do. Remember, these are
students and other students should
not pay their tution
Forbes also would like to see
more metered spaces on campus, as
well as printing the minutes of SGA
meetings in TEC.
"A lot of the students don't know
whati's going on on campus, and
rather than put out a newsletter
informing students of what is going
on, I propose to run a quarter page
ad in the newspaper to print the
minutes of the weekly meetings
Forbes said. "And that's beneficial
because it puts money back into a
student organization
To hear a full list of both candi-
dates' ideas and plans for ECU's
future, attend the debate being held

fire in one minute and 30 seconds.
Captain Michael Branch,
Greenville fire marshal said there
have been no reported incidents of
halogen lights causing fires in or
around the Greenville area.
"The majority of the halogen
light fires have started because cur-
tains or drapes were near the lamp or
something was placed over the light
to dim it Branch said.
To avoid the risk of fire, halogen
lights should be placed away from
any flammable material. Do not
place any combustible material,
including paper or cardboard, over
the light. Also, make sure the light is
not left on unattended.
Branch also suggested that the
light should be placed on a stable,
flat surface where it is not in danger
of being tipped or knocked over.
"If your lamp has a dimmer
switch, you should operate it on a
lower setting than normal and always
keep an eye on it Branch said.
N.C. State, Purdue University,
Dartmouth College and Brown
University are just a few of the col-
leges who have already banned the
use of halogen lights in on-campus
housing.
ECU is not currently planning to
ban student use of halogen lights,
but Fridlcy said if the need arises,
they will be banned.
Several local businesses say they
have not seen a decline in halogen
light sales yet but they have noticed
that manufactures are starting to put
warnings on the boxes.
"As long as the lights have a glass
cover or glass plate over the top they
will be allowed Fridlcy said. "The
desk lamp style lights are safe too.
We just want to educate people
about the dangerous ones to avoid

: The violent deaths of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls or
�Notorious B.I.G.) have sent America into controversy over gangsta rap. These prominent and
1 vocal performers were both gunned down in drive-by shootings within the last year.
Most of the controversy over gangsta rap centers around the question of what purpose it
serves. Is it violent for the sake of being violent, or is there more to it? Of course, as with any
hot debate, there is more to the picture.
First of all, who owns the record companies? Sure, Death Row Records and a few other labels
are run by minorities, but for the most part the record industry itself (the major labels, the dis-
tribution of merchandise, etc.) is run by upper-class white guys. What do these guys know about
�p?
Well, one thing they know is that it makes money. Big money. And that seems to be the moti-
vating factor behind the direction in which rap is heading. With more and more money being
ispent on developing and promoting gangsta rap performers, and more and more gangsta rap
records being sold each year, the chances are likely that gangsta rap is here to stay (and will pos-
sibly dominate).
Is this such a bad thing? Gangsta rappers have legitimate reasons for speaking out, and their
voices need to be heard. One of the reasons that they have gained so much recognition is
because they are not afraid to talk about issues of race, economy, prejudice and injustice that,
until fairly recently, were often ignored. They're angry, they're loud, and audiences usually lis-
ten to angry, loud people.
But we've got to look beyond the gangsta rappers and their audience to see the people at the
top, the people who benefit the most. The record industry continues to encourage gangsta rap-
pers to be harder, tougher, meaner and more violent. They know that street credibility for gangs-
ta rappers (usually bought with blood) equals good record sales. The more vicious the public
persona, the faster the money will flow in.
What effect does this have? Well, two prominent performers are dead. If things continue as
they are it seems that more are guaranteed to die. The voices of gangsta rap may be silenced
! by greed. The responsibility is in the hands of the record industry.

Can't we all get along:
?
To the Editor,
I am writing in response to
Aerian Heath's article, which
appeared in the March 20 issue of
The East Carolinian. First, I want to
clearly state this tetter was not writ-
ten in support of Mr. White's per-
sonal betters, nor was this letter
written in support of Aerian Heath's
personal beliefs. Everyone is enti-
tled to their own opinion, so now, I
will express mine.
In regard to the Rodney King
incident, Los Angeles policemen
involved in the brutal beating exhib-
ited a rage that held no regard for
humanity. Each police officer
involved in the incident should have
been relieved of hisher duties per-
manently. As far as your accusation
of the Klan being involved, Ms.
Heath, I wish you would inform me
when the Klan formed in Los
Angeles, a city whose population is
more ethnically diverse than any city
in America, and a city located well
over 2,000 miles away from where
the Civil Rights Movement first
occurred. The ECU Housekeeping
incident was indeed shameful. Not
only should Mr. Nichols publicly
apologize, he should also lose his job.
But to say blacks are always looked
upon as "evil" or "wrong" is an
extremely biased statement, many
of my closest friends are black, and I
have never looked upon them as
evil. No matter the color of our skin,
Ms. Heath, someone else can per-
ceive us all as wrong or evil, being
ashamed of one's own color, whether
white, black, Indian or Hispanic is
unfortunate, but if you haven't
noticed, the news is built on tragedy,
crime and controversy, not on skin
color. Incidents like these grab
attention and make headlines.
Unfortunately, many of these inci-
dents are beyond our own control.
In closing, I fee! sorry for Mr.
White and Ms. Heath. Where racism
is concerned, their beliefs are on
opposite ends of the spectrum. For
our world to unite, we all must put
aside our negative views and live as
one.

Four year degree vital for norrtrads too
Going back to school when you are
older, or what is typically termed as
"non-traditional student" is difficult.
At age 25 one is considered a non-tra-
ditional student. It is out of the flow
of the normal order of American life's
undertakings.
Just walking around campus and
sitting in class is difficult when your
age is closer to that of the instructors'
than to the students It feels awk-
ward and unnatural. Although this
feeling of uneasiness is ever-present
with the older student, it is a small
when compared to other hurdles that
the non-traditional-student must
overcome.
Often times, the older student has
a family of hisher own. If it is hard
getting yourself up and ready for class,
just imagine having to get children up
and get their breakfast, driving them
to school or making sure they board
the schoolbus. Only after considering
alt these factors can you begin to pre-
pare yourself for school.
We older students often dream of
stumbling out of bed, leaving it
unmade and going of the cafeteria
where someone else has prepared
breakfast for us. Older students who
are parents never get the weekends
off. It is a never-ending routine of
schoolwork and caring for the chil-
dren.
When I first started out on my
four-year-degree, I not only had a
child to send to school, but an infant
still in diapers to care for in addition
to working 30 hours per week. I had to
get up in the middle of the night to
care for my son when he would cry
and need me.
Lack of sleep was an everyday
occurrence for me.
Occasionally the sitter could not
come. I had to make a choice between
missing classes or taking my youngest
child to a drop in day care. I was
uncomfortable taking my son to
school with me.
Top all this off with a learning dis-
ability that means I would have to
study longer and harder than the aver-
age student and you have more than
a full load. The stress is extreme: Add
court and custody battles, a physical
illness draining my energy level, mood
and overall ability to function , and
you have an almost impossible task of
completing your degree.
The one quality I do possess is
persistence. I would not give up. I
kept trying no matter what.
Going to school full rime, i
through, for four consistent years in a
row was not possible for me.
Sometimes, I had to go part time and
even skip a whole semester occasion-
ally.
Why would anyone go through all
this just to get a degree?
If most work available out there is
beyond reach because of the needed
physical strength needed to do the
job, then the only answer for someone
who wants employment is education.
I concluded a long time ago the
more education one has, the better
chances the person has at employ-
ment. The pay will be higher and the
hours will be more reasonable. The
work will certainly be leas physically
demanding.
I am proud to announce that I am
graduating this May.
I am sure it is always more difficult
to go back to school later in life than it
is when you are first out of high
school.
Unless you have a very special tal-
ent or technical expertise, a four year
degree is vital. That is unless, at
course you would prefer to use your'
strength and body to earn a living.

Greenville shows good independent film?
jay Myers
LIFESTYLE EDITOR
Greenville theaters are not known for their
taste in cinematic fare. Sure, we get all of the
mainstream blockbusters, but chances of
actually finding a good film in that lot are
about the same as winning the lotto. Mostly,
film fans are left to scouring local video stores
for items of interest. And unless you've got
the money to pile into a home theater sys-
tem, it's not going to come anywhere near
the experience of seeing a film in a theater
(although some home theater systems are
probably better than the screens at the
Plaza, Carolina East and Buccaneer the-
aters).
That's why it amazed me to see that Sling
Blade had opened in town. The film original-
ly 'appeared nationwide in November of
19, so we're four months late receiving it.
The most likely reason we got the film at all
is that it has been nominated for several
rrtajor Oscars. This is an ongoing trend for
Greenville theater. We didn't receive
Srhmdler's List or Poslino (The Postman) until
after they had both received nominations (in
fact, flPostino was over a year late arriving in
Greenville). And I haven't even mentioned
the quality films like Trainspotting, Fargo or
The English Patient that never, ever get played
heie. Fbr a city that likes to think of itself as
the up-and-coming cultural mecca of eastern
North Carolina, we sure do have a ways to go.
But I guess it's better that we got Shttg Blade
late than never.
I whole-heartedly recommend this film
to fcach and every person who is reading this
article. Billy Bob Thornton has created a
masterpiece.
tor me, as a Southerner, this film res-
onates with cultural truth, something that
most films about the South severely lack.
(Probably because most of them are written
by non-Southerners. Case in point. Prince of
Tides, a wonderful novel whose film version
was completely botched by a non-Southern
director and star.)
Thornton, who also wrote and directed
the film, stars as Karl Childers, a 39-year-old,
mentally handicapped man who committed
an atrocious act when he was 12 and was sent
to the state mental hospital (the "nervous
hospital as Karl calls it) to be cured. When
the film starts, he has been cured and is
being set free.
Life on the outside is an open, interesting
and somewhat frightening experience for the
gravelly-voiced, man-of-few-words Karl, but
he soon finds his own way. When he begins
to interact with other people is when we see
the genius of Thornton open up.
Karl returns to his hometown that he left
when he was 12 years old and quickly finds a
friend in 12 year old Frank, played by Lucas
Black. Frank and Karl hit it off immediately
and the film centers much around the rela-
tionship between these two chatacters.
However, I don't want to go into too much
detail. The film's plot is too beautiful and
too engrossing for me to go into without
spoiling the experience of seeing it. Suffice it
to say that friendship and the sanctity of
childhood are two major themes in the film.
Sling Blade is good for the small parts, as
well as the whole. In the details of life that
Thornton gathered to put into this film, he
seems to have left nothing out. I became
totally enveloped in the world that Thornton
created on the screen. The dialogue was riv-
eting - at times funny, at others inspiring and
most often gripping with its emotion. The
characters that Thornton creates to deliver
these lines are also vivid and interesting and
are played by some unusual personalities.
Country superstar Dwight Yoakam, Three's
Frank and Karl's touching friendship is central to Sling Blade's beauty

Good Dog, Bad Dog:
The Home
Recordings
Wasn't Oasis enough? I guess you
could say I'm no fan of British pop,
and to say I dislike Oasis would be the
understatement of the year. But, just
when you think the .American public
has gotten their British longings satis-
fied, here comes James from across
the big pond.
James (which, by the way, is com-
posed of six guys none of whom are
named James) has actually been
around since 1983, but they never
reached much ground in the U.S.
until 1994 with their album liid.
That album actually did respectably
in the U.S. market, and the single by
the same name exploded across the
radio, earning the boys in rhe band a
spot on the bill of Woodstock '94.
There, in the rain, playing between
Uve and The Cranberries, is where
they started laying down ideas for a
new album.
Of course, a lot can happen in
three years. One day in late 1994, the
tend hit rock bottom. They were
informed they owed five years of back
taxes, and founding member larry
Gott would no longer tour with them.
But. the band stuck their ground and
forged on.
So, what do we. the record-buying
public, get for their hard work and
devotion? We get short-changed.
Whiplash is at best a decent album, at
worst a CD worthy enough to only be
a coaster on a coffee table. Of course,
personal opinion will decide which
side you lean towards, but I personal-
ly found a new coaster.
The CD starts off on a good foot
with "Tomorrow This is best
described as reminiscent of Oasis only
without the attitude. Real'y strong,
driving acoustic guitars and drums
with swooping electric guitar slides
for effect make "Tomorrow" a dose of
Brit pop that will get anybody tapping
their foot. "Iost A Friend" and
"Waltzing Along" are also both decent
songs, although not as good as
"Tomorrow "Uost A Friend"
explores the hypnotic and corrupting
factions of television. A little more in
depth than Bruce Springsteen's "57
Channels (and Nothing On) "lost
A Friend" stands well as a song and a
statement. "Waltzing Along" uses
hypnotizing guitar loops and stag-
gered vocal melodies to create a
sound that invades your mind and
relaxes you whether you want it to or
not. "She's A Star" does pretty much
the same thing, only not as well.
This brings us to the fatal down-
ward spiral of the CD. For some rea-
son, after four songs James decides to
become an industrialtechno band.
"Greenpeace" and "Go To The Bank"
both combine rave-type techno with a
Nine Inch Nails sort of industrial
sound, even down to the vocals. The

There's nothing quite like standing on
a foot-wide window ledge in the Hyatt
in downtown Chicago watching
passersby while listening to quiet music
turned up loudly. The speakers are very
tiny, the sublime piano gets distorted
just a bit, and the melancholy beauty of
the female lead singer's voice takes
power over the lives of the people walk-
ing by on the street. When the Chopin-
like piano intro fades a bit to accommo-
date her voice singing, "What a beauti-
ful piece of heartache this has all turned
out to be the heartache of each person
on the sidewalk below becomes appar-
ent.
Chicago is cold, very cold in March,
and though the room is warm, breath on
the window fogs it anyway. The fog
seems like a part of the music. Only the
most beautiful music can do this, envel-
op the environment, absorb the world
into itself. Beautiful music changes the
way the world is seen.
That's just "Latter Days the first
song on Over The Rhine's new album
Good Dog, Bad Dog, released on their
own label. Imaginary Records. It's been
almost two years since the Cincinnati
quartet's last album. Eve. That album
was just like its namesake: very femi-
nine, yet dark and spontaneous, almost
primitive in its wash of electric guitars
and muddy blues.
Good Dog, Bad Dog is quiet, like the
river Eve must have found after being
ejected from the Garden. The title sug-
gests the simplified version of the
Lutheran doctrine of total depravity
that circulates Sunday school classes:
"There's a good dog and a bad dog
inside each of us, and we must choose
to make the good dog win Of course,
no one ever tells how to make the good
dog win, and that is where this album
sits, with its eyes toward heaven and its
feet in the mud, Eve remembering life
before the apple.
Good Dog, Bad Dog is a collection of
tunes that bassist Ltnford Detwieler
describes in the liner notes as a "bare-
boned mess of songs which had been
outlined after dark in my third story
bedroom The band had plans to
record the album earlier until they
unexpectedly parted ways with IRS
Records, their label at that time.
So they piled into Linford's apart-
ment and recorded the album there
instead. (If you listen closely, you can
hear kitchen sounds behind the music.)
The result is probably their most pow-
erful work to date. Reminiscent at
times of R.E.Ms powerful Automatic for
the People, or the Innocence Mission's

By now, many people are probably
sick and tired of hearing about Star
fMrr. When George Lucas reissued
his space trilogy, movie goers flocked
to the theaters and the media wrote
story after story about the phenome-
non.
While all the initial hoopla has
died down a bit, Stwr Hkrs is still hot
at the theaters. The first two films of
the trilogy (which includes Star Mm
and lit Empire Strife Bart) are still
making money at movie theaters
across the nation, and the latest re-
addition to the craze landed the num-
ber one spot at the box office on its
re-opening weekend. Despite the fact
that most fans and critics insist that
the final part of Lucas' trilogy is the
weakest, Rrturn of tit Mi has once
again pulled in the crowds eager to
experience a blast from the past on
the big screen one more time.
Like the other reissued films. Mi
has been "touched up" by Lucas and
his creative team at Industrial Lights
and Magic in an effort to make the
movies as good as they possibly can
be.
As huge a Star flan fan I am, 1
must say that the onlyway to make
Jnjfi as good as it possibly can be is to
simply rewrite the entire film, but
that's me.
JhH is the weakest link in the SW
chain for many reasons. First of all, the
film is simply too cute for its own
good. While the first two movies were
fun, they also had a darker edge to
them that made them more than
child's play. Unfortunately, Lucas
decided to play it safe the third time
around and eliminate those dark
edges. It's been said a million times
before by better critics than myself,
but the Ewoks (which, if you don't
know, are teddy bears that our heroes
team up with to defeat the evil galac-
tic Empire) ruin the film. They are
too cute, too silly, too commercial, too
stupid and too fake to add anything to
the Star Wan epic.
But the problems with Mi can not
all be blamed on midgets in fuzzy cos-
tumes. Disappointments abound.
The actors, for instance, all seem to
have their minds on other things.
Harrison ford gives an almost embar-
rassing portrayal of his roguish charac-
ter, Han Solo. Instead of imbuing Sob
with the sarcastic wit that has made
� 1
Til
mmj Cutl aVua
him one of the
series most popular
characters, Ford
results to playing
goofy comic relief
with overdone body
gestures and quirky
racial expressions.
ford shouldn't
be blamed, though.
His character is
completely under-
written and left
with nothing to do.
In fact, most of the
major players in the
series are pushed
to the side so the
central storyline,
which centers
Skywalker's final confrontation with
Darth Vadcr and the evil Emperor,
can be wrapped up.
Making matters slightly worse is
the fact that most of the added
footage that, according to Lucas,
improves fttti only makes the film
worse. A scene in Jabba the Hutt's
palace featuring a bizarre, otherworld-
ly pop band has always been severely
lacking. Using state-of-the-art com-
puter technology, Lucas and company
have revamped the scene with new
creatures and new musk. In a nut-
shell, the new creatures are more car-
toonist) than creative and the music
sounds too much like earth-bound
top-40 spittle to be taken seriously.

there, you should be disgusted to,
know that there is more of him in Mi
now. Thanks to computer bit map-
ping, you can see Boba Fett hanging'
out in the background of Jabba'
palace and hitting on women
Additions like this really flesh out
such an intriguing character. Too bad
Lucas didn't bit map Billy Dee
Williams downing a Colt 45 Matt
Liquor while explaining to Jabba the
benefits of using the psychic hot line.
As disappointing aa Mi is, and
despite all the trashing I've dealt it, I
can't say that it is a terrible film.
There is much to like and admire
about Lucas' concluding chapter
especially when compared to othejr
modern science fiction films. A scene
involving a flying motorcycle chase
through a dense forest is still just as
thrilling aa it was in 1983, and the
final space battle is so amazingly
complex and fast-paced that it makes
the climax of IwtqmAmt Day tame
and Doting. The action and special
effects of Mi, just like all the other
films in the trilogy; demand to be
seen on the big screen, thus making
this film well worth the money and
time to at least catch as a matinee.
Admittedly, Jeefi works well for a
mainstream audience that doesn't
view it in relation to the other Star
Him films. However, for those of us
who see the three films as one long
film divided into three chapters, Jm
just doesn't fit neatly in the rest of
the puzzle.

verses of "Greenpeace" have a Trent
Resnor edge to diem while the chorus
has extended wails over a techno beat.
Have a couple of Exccdrin readily avail-
able before playing this one.
"Homeboy" appears a few songs later
and constitutes a slight return to actual
instrument playing and singing What's
more, it's actually a catchy song, which
is a welcome change from the crap that
had been dominating the album.
"Wrtering Hole" and "Blue
Pastures" are both bass driven songs,
with "Fastures" being the better of the
two. "WKering Hole" seems to drag on
and on with no real merit while "Blue
Pastures" manages to flow smoothly.
If techno and industrial music is
your thing, then you might want to
check out Wkptesh. But be forewarned,
it's not necessarily good techno and
industrial music. It's simply an
attempt. Rr the rest of you out there
who prefer bands to rely less on
machines and more on themselves,
steer as far clear of this one as you can.
Rhine
tmtiavsd from pigi 6
whatever room it happens to be played
in.
It's net all quiet, soulful piano,
though. The second track, "All I Need
ia Everything is a moving, unplugged
rock sttflf about rebirth. VbcaKst Karen
Bergquiat's voice has never been more
subtle arid powerful. She showed her
stall at bringing jazz and blues vocal
technique into rock music on Eve, but
here she adds a range of quieter skills to
her arsenal.
When she emotes, "I've been fin-
gering the flame like tomorrow's mar-
tyr her voice breaks just enough and
then fattens with a full melancholy that
makes Morrissey seem like the happi-
est feltaw in merry England. The
refreshing thing is, the mood never
stays sad. WI I Need is Everything" is
a song of jo of rebirth, and Bergquist
directs the mood to that joy as easily as
she tugs at the sadness.
Each song ia its own world of emo-
tion. "Etcetera Whatever" is a gor-
geous, wotMngcfcn love song, while "I
WM Not Eat The Darkness" is a puls-
ing instrumental, no doubt referring to
both Eve, the biblical figure, and Eve,
the album.
"Ruthfully Dangerous" surely could
be Adam singing to his Eve: "No mat-
ter what they say you'll ahvays be faith-
fully dangerous, lost and lovely, so beau-
tiful to me "The Seahorse" finds the
couple longing for perfect love again,
and for eternity. ���
"Everyman's Daughter" is a striking
ballad that twists the Beatles' M is
One" idea into something actually
interesting and true: "Who am I and
whose invention? This armour's full of
dust. There's so much of us in each
othet If I hate you you're my best
reminder of all I wish I was
"A Gospel Number" is, well, just
that, while "Rjughkeepsie" rings in the
ears like an old Lutheran hymn.
Beigquist's voice soars and dips into
canyons here. She proves that white
girls can sing with true soul when she
elates, "I ride on the backs of the angels
tonight. I take to the sky with all their
might.
The album segues into a classical
acoustic solo piece by Ric Hordinski,
the band's skilled guitarist on
"Willoughby and then romps through
the jazzed-up spoken word serenade,
"Jack's VUentine
The record closes out with two love
songs, one to God and then one to a
human lover. "Happy to Be So" has Eve
yearning for the former closeness of the
Garden, "If I try to pray, it's like a game
of red rover. I take a real good run at it,
but I can't break through. Don't matter
anyway I'm so redhanded Still, hope
is not lost as she realizes, "I know a love
that will not let me go The song
reaches chill-bump perfection when
the French hommellotron movement
mixes with Beigquist's sullen voice to
close the number. Then the album
fades out with the airy, happy-go-lucky
country ballad, "Go Down Easy"
With Good Dog, Bad Dog, Over the
Rhine have achieved what few bands
da They have created a work that dips
into the region of the soul and inspires
new sight, inspires new life, and
inspires creativity. This is an album to
fall in love, or find God, with.
Unfortunately, since they've released it
on their own label, it takes a bit of work
to get.
It is definitely worth that work.
Good Dog, Bad Dog can be ordered
through CD Alley, or by mailing the
band at: Over the Rhine, PO Box 2572,

North Carolina, Arizona set up rematch at Final Four
AP)-North Carolina and Arizona, which met in their season opener, will play a
tematch at the Final Four.
The top-seeded Tar Heels beat sixth-seeded Louisville 97-74 Sunday in the
feast Regional to advance to their 13th Final Four. Fourth-seeded Arizona recov-
ered after blowing a big lead and edged No. 10 Providence 96-92 in overtime at
Jhe Southeast Regional to reach its third Final Four in nine years.
3 Shammond Williams scored 22 points for North Carolina (28-6), which will
ftay Arizona (23-9) in the national semis next Saturday in Indianapolis. The
Wildcats beat the Tar Heels 83-72 in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic on Nov.
12.
North Carolina, which has won 16 straight, turned around its season follow-
ing an 0-3 start in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"This was a great feeling to cut down those nets after the way we started the
JwCC season forward Antawn Jamison said. "We came together as a team and
but all our differences aside. It shows how hard we worked and that hard work
fays off
3 Arizona, which finished fifth in the Pac-10 with an inexperienced lineup,
a 10-point deficit in the final 3 12 minutes of regulation before
nding to beat Providence. Miles Simon scored 30 points for the Wildcats,
knocked off top-ranked Kansas in the previous round. .
Certainly this was not expected said coach Lute Olson, whose team
the season with four new starters and has no seniors in the playing rota-
Evcrybody kept saying, 'Next year, they're going to be pretty good Will,
year got here a attic early"
The other rtrtaf Four matchup on Saturday is defending national champion
(34-4) vs. Minnesota (31-3). The semifinal winners will ptay for the
on Monday night.
Skating's reflection: Lipinski mirrors
Kwan of two years ago
MJ8ANNE, Switzerland (AP) - Before Tare Lipinski, there was Michelle
Kwan.
Wwe the 14-year-old Kwan of two years ago to be superimposed on the 14-
-okl Lipinski of today, the similarities would be remarkable clean, consis-
t jumpers, well-rehearsed routines, tireless skaters.
In real time, 16-year-old Kwan, displaying a maturity matching her technical
lity wasn't been able to match Lipinski' unflinching confidence to repeat
1996 world title. She finished second.
Lipinski, master of her 4fbot-8 and 75-pound frame, hit the magic seven
pie jump Saturday and reached for a sophistication beyond her years, to

Practice pays off for Mickelson at Bay Hill
&RLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Phil Mickelson practiced on the putting green until
dark on the eve of the final round and then made it pay off Sunday pulling away
Item the pack with a silky stroke to win the Bay Hill Invitational.
Mickelson rolled in a 40-foot eagle putt from the fringe on No. 12, the key
Mole of his 7-under-par 65 that gave him a three-stroke victory over Stuart
Appteby
Mickelson finished at 16-under 272. He earned $270,000 for his 10th PGA
Tour victory along with the gray blazer and Scottish-styled sword that comes
trith winning Arnold Palmer's tournament.
j "Going into today I was trying to think that this was Amie's tournament and
what would he do?" Mickelson said. "He'd put on a charge, so that's what 1 tried
Jtodo
; Mickelson's cool confidence during a decisive four-hole stretch - three
birdies and the eagle - didn't look anything like the dashing style Palmer dis-
played during his patented charges.
In fact, Mickelson didn't even look like he would be the one to make a
charge when the final round began with 17 players within five shots of leader
Omar Uresti.
; Cloudy calm conditions took a lot of the bite out of Bay Hill Club and
allowed for low scoring, but Mickelson wen out in 1-under 35 and was three
strokes off the lead until a birdie putt from about 10 feet on No. 11.
, Then he hit two drivers to get to the fringe of the 570-yard 12th hole. His
putt died on the left edge and dropped in to give him a share of the lead with
Appleby Payne Stewart and Uresti.

The first football game of the season may be over six months away but already
the football team is gearing up for the fall games.
Spring practice began last week, and with it came some new concerns for
Head Coach Steve Logan. His biggest concern is the offensive line.
"The whole mission will be to create an offensive line Logan said. "That
will basically be the concentration at the beginning, middle and end. We only
have one returning starter among the offensive linemen (center Danny Moore)
and there is also no experience the rest of the way"
But this kind of rebuilding is nothing new to Logan. He compares the prob-
lems they are facing in this spring practice to the 1994 season.
"This is 1994 all over again where we really didn't have the line and the line-
backers ready to play" Logan said. "But we just threw them out there and made
them play. Probably what is going to happen is that we will be real slow starting
and, hopefully by midseason, we will improve to the point of being functional.
I'm afraid we're going to take our lumps early because we're just going to have
too many guys out there making too many mistakes
Logan isn't necessarily concerned with the talent he will be working with to
rebuild the line. He says the talent is there; it just has to be developed.
"Ws've got talent. We just have to coach. We've got to show the kids a thou-
sand different things in a short period of time. I'd be very anxious if I didn't
think we had the talent, but we've got some talented young men; they just have
to find out who to hit
One area Logan can breathe a little easier about is the quarterback position.
After Marcus Crandell went down with a season-ending knee injury in the sev-
enth game of the season, junior Dan Gonzalez got the starting nod. Gonzalez
was thrust into the quarterback position and averaged 284 yards per game in
four starts, and went 3-1 in those starts.
It was an unfortunate injury for Crandell, but it allowed Gonzalez to get
some experience for his starting role the year as a senior.
"If he hadn't played any last year that would be a real anxious area Logan
said. "Danny Gonzalez has proved he can win games for us at the quarterback

The ECU women's tennis team con-
tinued to shine Sunday as they blew
past George Mason 5-1. The Lady
Pirates, who were playing a rare home
game on the weekend, jumped out to
a quick lead and never looked back.
"We did very good Junior co-cap-
tain Mono Eek said. "It was our sec-
ond conference win, so this is a good
start for us
This was the Lady Pirates' fourth
consecutive dual match victory and
improved their record to 8-4 overall
and 2-0 in CAA play.
Sophomore Anne Svae led the
charge with a 6-2, 6-4 decision over
her opponent.
"Anne is doing a great job for us at
No. 1 singles Coach Jamie Holt said.
Junior Racbae! Cohen suffered
BCU's only setback, losing a tough
match 6-2,6-4.
"Rachaet just got off to a slow
start Holt said. "If she gets off to a
strong start, she will be hard to beat
Eek and her fellow co-captain,
senior Holiyn Gordon, both had to
slug it out for three sets before they
captured wins. Eek came back from a
4-6 setback and won the next two sets
64), 6-2.
"I played weli, but I lost the first
set Eek said. "I killed the girt in the
next two sets, but it took a while
though
Gordon's win was even more dra-
matic, and sent the message that no
opponent should ever count these
Pirates out. Gordon pulled out s close
first set 7-5, but then faltered losing
the second set 4-6.
"I had the match of my life
Gordon said. "By the time I started
the third set, ail of the other matches
were done. 1 was so nervous because
the third set was so tight
She then managed to come back
from down 3-4 in the deciding set to
capture a 6-4 nail biter.

game, that I would win the match
Gordon said. "My opponent was very-
good and consistent, but I had more
experience than her
Because of Gordon's victory the
Lady Pirates captured the team win
and did not have to play doubles
against the Patriots,
"That win was good for her
(Gordon), and for the ream Holt
said, "She got the team a lot of confi-
dence
Sophomore Gina MacDonakl dis-
patched her opposition 6-2,63 while
fellow sophomore Catherine Morgan
breezed past her opponent 6-2, 6-1.
But it was winning those close, three
set matches that made all of the dif-
ference in the world.
"It is important for us to win three
sets Eek said.
One of the reasons for the Lady
Pirates' success in winning those close
matches has been that they are in
great physical condition.
"Our trainer, Jack Midvette, has
been working really hard with the
girls Holt said. "Not too many reams
that we play work harder than we do.
I realize, and the girts realize, that a
large part of our success has been due

Disappointing weekend for
ECU solf team
ANTHONY STANPILL
STAFF WRITER
The ECU golf team didn't get the finish they had hoped to get this weekend
when they hosted the PepsiBradford Creek Classic.
The poor performance left the Pirates and Head Coach Kevin Williams dis-
appointed, especially since they were on their home course.
"I wasn't expecting to win the whole thing, but I was surprised we did so bad
on our home course Williams said, "lb be honest with you, it was probably our
worst tournament of the year
Williams expressed, like he has ail year long, his concern for the team's lock
of consistency. Usually the Pirates get good, consistent play out of their top
three players, and not as consistent play from the four and five spots. Williams
was bothered that this time, nobody was consistent.
"We're not good enough for any of our top three players to play bad, and
when they do, we can't cover them Williams said. "We're just not getting good
scores out of the four and five spots
Marc Miller and Kevin Miller were the Pirates' best performers. M. Miller
finished tied for 41st, and shot 77-70-78 over the three rounds. K. Miller fin-
ished tied for 46th, shooting a 74-78-74. ft Miller was only one stroke away from
M. Miller's score. The other Pirate finishes were Stephen Sattcrry who finished
tied for 54th, Daniel Griffis tied for 64th and Shane Robinson tied for 70th.
Williams, for the first time in the spring, played three freshmen in this tour-
nament. He said he doesn't regret his decision, and they had nothing to do with
the team's loss. Williams said missing Richie Creech in the line-up probably had
something to do with the team's performance.
"Not having Creech in the line-up is what hurt Williams said. "Even
though he hasn't been playing well, he's a leader. Anytime you don't have one
of your leaders in the line-up, I think it can hurt
The Pirates' next tournament is the Furman Spring Intercollegiate at
Furman University's Golf Course in Greenville, S.C. They'll be there Mar. 28-
30 Williams hasn't decided yet, which five Pirates are going to represent ECU.
"I told the team that we played so bad that everybody has to qualify for the
Furman tournament Williams said
Usually the three lowest scores from the previous tournament automatically
earn a spot. This week all nine of the Pirates will be playing for a spot. Williams
is hoping this will motivate his players to play better at Furman than they did at
Bradford Creek.
position and that's a comfort. It's kind of one of those left-handed blessin
which came our way with Marcus's injury and Danny was abie to get some expe-
rience
Offensively the Pirates will be returning two NCAA leaders with Scott
Harley and Irry Shannon.
Hariey, a junior, is the nation's leading returning rusher since Iowa State's
Troy Davis and Texas Tech's Byron Hanspard declared themselves eligible for
the NFL draft. Last season Harley averaged 158.6 yards per game and gained
1,745 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. Against N.C. Srate, Harley rushed for
351 yards which ranks as the ninth best single game performance in NCAA his
tory and the best ever by a sophomore. I
"It's going to be interesting to sec how Scon Hariey responds to see if last
year was a flash in the pan or if he is going to be a consistent performer Logan
said.
Shannon caught 39 passes last season for 834 yards and was the national
leader in in yards per reception with 21.4 per catch. Shannon already holds
the ECU record for touchdown catches with 20 in just three years.
This season also marks the inaugural seasons as a member of Conference
USA. ECU is no stranger to playing teams in C-USA, but this season they wilt
get a chance to play for a conference championship. The last time the Rrates
won a conference championship was in 1977, the last year ECU was in the
Southern Conference before becoming a major Division I Independent.
Logan doesn't want his players to forget about the non-conference games
since they are equally important. f
"What I don't want it to do is make it where the kids say 'Well that's not a
conference game, that's not important 1 want every game to still be important
like we've always done. Winning the conference - that's going to be out there
but I want to make sure every Saturday is a big deal to us
Being affiliated with C-USA will also allow Logan to talk with quality piayt
ers who might not have otherwise been interested in playing football for ECUl
"One of my good friends in this profession is Frank Beamer at Virginia Tecri,
which joined the Big East recently. He told me about the number of homes het
abie to get into, and their program hat changed dramatically I know we'll abl$
to get into more living rooms of players who wouldn't have been interested ift
us before. If you have perseverance, that's the greatest quality And Ease
Carolina has that quality V

When a landlord can enter your property
A landlord doesn't always
2 jiave an absolute right to
enter your apartment
, , wihout permission
ua
NOD PRESS EDITORS
Here are answers to fre-
quently asked questions on a
JjWKflord's right to enfrjt
1 j. Does my landlord have
the right to enter my apart-
1 memwhenever he or she
waits?
It depends on the state. In
all states, a landlord or manager
may enter rented premises
wMIe the tenant is living there
without advance notice in the
case of emergency, such as a fire
or serious water teak.
And, of course, a landlord
Buy enter when a tenant gives
pefrraaakm. Beyond that, laws
m marry states guarantee ten-
�to reasonable privacy rights
against landlord intrusions.
2. What art examples of
when s landlord.
may enter, lr-t only after
giving the tenant reasonahie
mike?
Typically, a landlord has the
to enter rented premjam
giving tenants reaaoMbfe
notice in aider to make needed
ftpftrt $m mmthe need for
diem) and to show the property
pfeapeetiveriewtenantaor
pwfcnaaeft. In addition, a land-
lord may enter rented premises
in instances of abandonment
(that is, when the tenant moves
out without notifying the land-
lord) or by court order. A land-
lord may not enter just to check
up on the tenant.
3. Assuming it is not an
emergency, hut the landlord
has a void reason to enter
�for example, to mate re-
pairs�what kind of notice
is required?
States typically require land-
lords to provide a specific
amount of notice (usually 24
hours) before entering a rental
unit.
In some states, such as Cali-
fornia, landlords must provide a
reasonable amount of notice, le-
gally presumed to be 24 hours.
Landlords can usually enter on
shorter notice if it is impracti-
cable to provide the required
amount of notice.
4. May a landlord enter a
rental urn any time of day,
ashmgashe'sffomthere-
qutr ad amount of notice ?
No. In meat instances � ex-
cept emergencies, abandonment
and invitation by tenant �
states allow a landlord to en-
ter only at reasonable times,
without setting specific hours
and days. However, some states,
such as California, require that
landlords may enter only during
normal business hours.

landlord has given adequate
notice and has a vaki rea-
son to enter?
A landlord should not force
entry except when there is a
true emergency, such as a fire
or gas leak. However, if a ten-
ant is repeatedly unreasonable
in denying the landlord access,
the landlord can legally enter
anyway, during reasonable times,
provided he does so in a peace-
ful manner. However, in no
case should the landlord enter
if the tenant is present and say-
ing "stay out
If a landlord has a serious
conflict over access with an oth-
erwise satisfactory tenant, a sen-
sible first step is to meet with
the tenant to see if the problem
can be resolved. Often, neigh-
borhood mediation programs
will, for a low cost, help work
out an agreement.
If these attempts at com-
promise don't work, a landlord
can usually evict the tenant for
violating the lease or rental
agreement, assuming it contains
an appropriate rignt-of-entry
provision.
6. What should a tenant do
tf a tanatord repeatedly
ts
(unit
with no good reason andor
advance notice?
As a first step, the tenant
will usually first meet with the
landlord to ask for assurance
that this conduct Won't be re-
peated. If this doesn't work, the
tenant (depending on the laws
of her state) may be able to
simply move out, claiming that
the landlord's repeated violation
of her privacy amounts to a
"constructive eviction Finally,
if the landlord's conduct seri-
ously interferes with the
tenant's peace of mind, the ten-
ant may have grounds for a
successful lawsuit, asking for
damages. Typically, a tenant will
file suit in small claims court
without a lawyer. Rr details on
small claims court procedures
and the maximum amount for
which someone can sue, see
Everybody's Guide to Small Claims
Court (National or California
Edition), by Ralph Warner
(Nolo Press).
7. How can 1 find out the
specific laws on privacy in
my state?
Find your state's statutes at
a law library or large public li-
brary.
If possible, look for the larger
annotated version which will
also contain brief notes as to
key court decisions. Look in
the index under Landlord-
Tenant and then for the sub-
heading Privacy. You may also be
able to get information from a
local apartment association or
tenants' rights group.
Tfour state Attorney
General's Office or Consumer
Protection Agency can also pro-
vide advice.
Nolo Press publishes two
books on the subject for Cali-
fornia: The Landlord's Law
Book, by Brown and Warner and
Tenants' Rights, by Moskovitz
and Warner.

How to set neighbors to turn down the loud noise
CORA JORDAN
It's 2 in the morning. You're
lying in bed trying to sleep be-
cause you have a big meeting to-
morrow morning. You feel a
pounding sensation in your
head.
At first, you think it's a head-
ache. But then you realize that
it's the funky disco beat blasting
from your next-door neighbor's
stereo, reverberating through
your bedroom and rattling your
windows.
� Before you pound on the
neighbor's door and yell some-
thing you'll regret, or, even
worse, resign yourself to living
with the noise, try some more
constructive alternatives.
noise. For example, many local
ordinances prohibit unreason-
able vehicle noise (like honking
the car horn early every morning
for a carpool) or dogs barking all
night long every night. Noisy
neighbors are in for a warning or
even a fine.
You can look up your local or-
dinance at city hall or the public
library. Make at least two copies
of it, one for your neighbor and
one for yourself.
mediation a chance.)
!
I
1. Talk to your neighbor
Your first step is to talk to
your neighbor and try to resolve
your differences in person. It's
hard to believe, but sometimes
neighbors are not aware that
they are causing a disturbance.
Even if you're ready to punch
somebody's lights out, try a little
sugar instead.
2. Get a copy of your lo-
cal ordinance
Your next step is to get a
copy of your local noise laws.
Most cities and counties have
ordinances that control the
times, types and loudness of
3. Warn your neighbor in
writing
If things don't improve, ask
your neighbor again � this time
in writing� to quiet down.
Don't make threats, but state
that if the situation doesn't im-
prove you'll be forced to notify
the authorities. Enclose a copy
of the noise ordinance. Keep a
copy of your letter, you'll need it
if, as a last resort, you later st
your neighbor.
4. Suggest mediation
Most cities offer free or low-
cost mediation services, which
means they provide an impartiai
mediator who will sit down with
you and your neighbor and try to
help you resolve your differ-
ences.
Just call the mediation ser-
vice; someone there will contact
the neighbor and suggest media-
tion. (These people are very
good at convincing others to give
5. Call the police
If you have done all of the
above and your neighbor has re-
sponded by turning up the vol-
ume, now is the time to call the
police (or the Animal Control of-
ficer if the problem is a barking
dog). Try to get the police to
come while the noise is occur-
ring.
Of course, you can call the
police on a noisy neighbor the
first time the music gets too
loud for your taste. But the po-
lice will be more sympathetic to
your situation if they see that
you have tried to solve the prob-
lem on your own.
�There is excessive and dis-
turbing noise.
�Your enjoyment of your
property is diminished.
�You have asked the person
to stop the noise (your letter
should be enough to prove this).
To prove your case, you can
use police reports, witnesses, re-
cordings, your own testimony
and the testimony of neighbors
or other witnesses.
6. Sue for nuisance
If all else fails, you can get
your neighbor's attention�and
maybe some money�by suing
in small claims court. You can
sue your neighbor for nuisance if
your neighbor's noise unreason-
ably interferes with your enjoy-
ment of your property. In the
lawsuit, you ask for money to
compensate you for the interfer-
ence with your right to peace-
fully enjoy your home.
Small claims court is easy
and inexpensive, and you don't
need a lawyer. You will need to
show the following:
The amount you'll want to
ask for will depend on how
much the noise bothered you.
Did you lose sleep? Were you
unable to carry on your usual ac-
tivities, such as reading, playing
music or talking to friends?
Decide on a reasonable dol-
lar amount per day, and multiply
that figure by the number of
days you've been seriously both-
ered. The amount of money you
can ask for in small claims court
is limited, between $2,000 and
$5,000 in most states.
If you're in an apartment
Noisy neighbors are always
bad news. But when you share
walls with the insensitive neigh-
bor, the problem is especially
vexing. The good news for rent-
ers is that, in addition to all your
other options, you have built-in
allies in the battle to keep your
apartment livable: your lease or
rental agreement and your land-
lord.
Remember the lease or
rental agreement you signed?
Chances are your neighbor
signed one too. Standard leases

and rental agreements contain
clauses that entitle you to "quiet
enjoyment" of your home.
A neighbor who is blasting the
stereo in an unreasonable man-
ner is probably violating the
lease or rental agreement and
can be evicted for doing so.
If you warn your neighbor
about the noise in writing and
are sure that your lease entitles
you to a reasonable amount of
quiet, send a copy of the lease
along with your letter. In your
letter, tell the neighbor that the
next complaint will be to the
landlord or neighborhood asso-
ciation if the noise continues.
If warning your neighbor
doesn't work, go to your land-
lord. Most tenants don't like to
complain to the landlord or A
manager about unreasonable .
noise or other nuisances because
they are afraid of being branded
as troublemakers. But other
neighbors are probably bothered
by the noise too.
Get together with them and
complain to the landlord as a
group. It's easier and you might
get faster results. Most land-
lords don't want arguments be
tween tenants and won't put up
with tenants who cause trouble
by ignoring signed lease or rental
agreements. Your landlord wiE
probably tell the noisy tenant to
pipe down or face eviction.

How to get along
with your roommate?
A successful relationship
with your roommate begins with '
you! It's true. Having a good
roommate is often as easy as
simply being a good roommate.
Perhaps the best advice ever
given to roommates can be
summed up in just one word:
communicate. Share your feel-
ings, your habits, your attitudes,
your ideas, your moods, and your
backgrounds. Listen and learn!
Be open-minded about
people who are from different
backgrounds or who may look,
think, or do th'ngs differently
than you. You just might learn
something new!
Remember that living in
close quarters with a person you
do not yet know is somewhat
frightening and in some cases
very challenging. You are pre-
sented with the opportunity to
build a relationship based on
mutual respect, appreciation for
individual differences, and the
commitment to discuss the day-
to-day issues and problems that
arise in any relationship.
There is no such thing as a
"perfect roommate" or a room-
mate who is a carbon copy of
you. Roommates are always dif-
ferent in some ways. Celebrate
those differences, and don't for-
get that you don't have to be
best friends in order to have a
successful roommate relation-
ship.
In order to reduce potential
friction and unexpected (and
disappointing) surprises, sit
down with your roommate(s)
during your first several days to-
gether and discuss some of he
following issues:
� Your family
� How you'd like to arrange
the room
� Your hometown
� What property you're will-
ing to share
� Your high school activi-
ties
� Your normal study habits
� How much sleep you
need
� How neatclean you'd like
the room to be
� Considerations when
guests visit the room
� Times when guests are -
not preferred
� Your weekend activity v
preferences
� Your interests and activi-
ties
These are just starters. If -j
you need more help, please sec
your Resident Advisor. While i
most roommates succeed in re?
solving their differences, there,
are times when some may i
need outside help.
If ever you feel yourself in an
unacceptable position of not be-
ing able to study, sleep or get j
along with your roommate or t
others, let a residence hall staff
member know immediately. Ifj
you live off campus, contact die
Counseling Center for sugges-
tions on how to deal with the
problem.
A successful relationship
sometimes just hinges on using
your head and not placing temp-
tation in the way
Here are some other tips:
� Always lock your resi-
dence hall room door when
you are out of your room or
sleeping.
� Keep all small items of
value out of sight.
� Engrave your social secu-
rity number on all personal
belongings.
� Do not lend your room
key to anyone!
� Do not prop open exterior
residence hall doors.
� Ask questions!
� Avoid walking alone at
night. Use the "buddy sys-
tem
� Use well-lighted and well-
traveled routes. Don't walk
through dark areas of campus
alone.
� Be aware of what is going
on around you.
� Familiarize yourself with
emergency telephone num-
bers.

MAUREEN GERRiTY WHEELER
STUDENT LEGAL LEARNING CENTER
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA
If you'd Hire to live off-cam-
pus, it's a good idea to start your
preliminary work at least one se-
mester in advance. The folks
who get the best deals are the
ones who shop early.
Many places ask present ten-
ants to renew or commit to a
Jury move by the end of March.
Around Spring Break is tradi-
tionally the time when most
places are rented on a written
lease of one year to start the
next August.
Your method of searching for
future rental housing is as im-
portant as getting an early start.
The best way is clearly word-of-
mouth. In fact, the landlord you
want to deal with probably
doesn't have to advertize in the
paper. If you have transporta-
tion, it's a good idea to start
cruising neighborhoods you like
for "For Rent" signs. I once
called an owner a half hour after
seeing him put a sign in the
yard, only to find that two fami-
lies were ahead of me. The first
callers got it.
Listings are a valuable source
of information, but never as reli-
able a channel as friends or ac-
quaintances with similar needs.
Check all of the local and cam-
pus publications. Keep in mind
however, that such sources in no
way guarantee the place or the
reputation of the owner.
The person who composes
the list is only responsible for
printing the words provided by
the person placing the adver-
tisement.
It is essential that you investi-
gate your potential landlord's
reputation. Once more, check
with fnends and fellow students
with some rental housing expe-
rience. Local papers routinely
run articles on the good, the
bad, and the ugly in the world of
rental housing.
You can also check with the
local Better Business Bureau for
any complaints filed with them.
A complaint or two shouldn't
necessarily deter you. Maybe
you'd agree with the landlord if
you knew the whole story. It's
the notorious repeaters we're

concerned with. When the tenth
client came to me with a serious
"repair delay" problem in one
near-campus complex, I be-
lieved his theory that his land-
lord is just collecting rent on the
dive until it falls down and be-
comes a student parking lot. Pay
special attention if complaints
reoccurre.
On the other hand, some
folks don't have a realistic per-
spective on the frequency of re-
pairs needed on older housing.
Like old cars, such property is
acquired because it's affordable,
but each season brings new diffi-
culties. Pay attention to the
problems that people who own
their own "starter homes" gripe
about. You can expect similar
headaches in rental housing.
What your lease promises is
prompt and careful maintenance
and repair. Just remember that
lower rent is no bargain at all if
the place is not kept up.
I'd also be wary of some Cor-
porations and elaborate manage-
ment systems. Both are per-
fectly legal ways of doing busi-
ness and could in fact be a sign
of extra efficiency. Just be alert
if it seems to be a one-man
show, yet the paperwork in-
cludes a wife, son or corporation.
It may be a method of "passing
the buck" as to landlord respon-
sibilities.
All rental housing must meet
the city's housing code, which
sets minimum sanitation and
safety standards.
Keep two things in mind in
this regard. First, the sanitation
standards are the minimum. For
instance the place might be safe
but in no way energy efficient.
Second, we are working very
hard as a community to enforce
these rules, but the city remains
seriously understaffed.
Hundreds of students each
year lose substantial amounts of
sleep and money due to room-
mate conflicts. Therefore, no
advice about choosing rental
housing is complete without
emphasizing care in selecting
the person with whom you plan
to share it.
Did you know that when two
of you sign a lease you are each;
guaranteeing that the full rerir'
will be paid? All lease signers are
liable together and as individu-
als. The owner can charge aay of
the persons who signed for all -
rents due, regardless of who -
moved out early or caused the
damage. Unfortunately, it's usu-
ally the more responsible one
who gets stuck with the bill
If you get caught in this'tyjx:
of mess use Small Claims Court.
The problem is that it's often
too late. Even if you win a judge-
ment you may never collect V
what's owed to you.
In signing a lease to rent off
campus housing you are entering
into a binding, legally enforce-
able contract. Both sides have
rights and responsibilities. Your
landlord or landlady should be
someone with whom you can '
communicate and can trust �
The vast majority of housing
owners are business people who
are looking for the same qualU

and microwaves there are other
matters you should consider be-
fore signing a lease.
Check the apartment's con-
struction, appliances, electrical
outlets, lighting, window and
door locks, and the general
cleanliness and parking.
Are there laundry facilities
available or close by is there gro-
cery shopping or a bus stop?
All these things should be
considered in addition to the
general reputation of the land-
lord for making repairs in a
timely manner and for returning
security deposits at the end of
the lease.
Once you decide on an
apartment, you should carefully
review the lease. Read it word
for word If you do not under-
stand a provision or do not agree
with it, have someone explain it
or advise you how to rewrite it in
terms agreeable to you and the
landlord.
If the landlord makes prom-
ises regarding repairs that will
be made before you move in or
shortly thereafter, get those
promises in writing, along with a
date they will be completed.
If you have roommates, ev-
erybody should sign the lease.
Remember that the lease is a
binding contract. If the term of
the lease is for one year, you are
bound to its terms for one year.
Choose your roommates care
fully. You could be paying their
rent if they decide to move out.
Every roommate signing the
lease is legally obligated for the
full amount of the rent if an
other roommate fails to pay.
Roommates should have a writ-
ten agreement with each other,
stating who pays what. If a util-
ity is billed in your name, you
are responsible for the entire-bill
and must ask reimbursement
from your roommates.
Can you afford it? It is highly
advisable to check your budget
before signing the lease, not'
when you receive an eviction no-
tice or a call from a debt collec-
tor.
If you have problems with
your apartment, there are spe-
cific laws andor ordinances that
may provide help for you; how-
ever, there are specific require-
ments which you must follow in
order to preserve your rights.
If a problem does arise,
check out the local or state laws
which may apply in the univer-
sity or city library.
