Parking deck not immediate concern for ECU
Funding, security obstacles
to construction
DWN ERNTEMAN
II FF WRITER
Despite reports to the contrary, ECU is not getting a park-
ing deck anytime soon.
'The need for a parking deck is contingent upon the
demand for one said layton Getsinger, vice chancellor for
administration and finance. "My obligation is to maximize
the use of the available surface lots to satisfy the needs of
the students and faculty before building a deck
There have been several lots lost to construction going
on around campus. G-etsinger plans to get these lots up and
running again as soon as possible.
Jim Midgette, director of transportation, said that his-
toricallv, the top three state-supported institutions in
North Carolina tend to get a parking deck. Both UNC-
Chapel Hill and N.C. State have parking decks. ECU,
according to the trend, would be next in line. However, a
parking deck comes with its own problems.
The biggest issue concerning the parking deck is
money. The state cannot finance this project, which forces
the financing to come from fees. The average cost of a sur-
face parking lot space is SI,000 in contrast to a SI0,000
parking deck space.
ECU would have to increase parking permit fees from
$96 to S250 in order to finance a S10 million deck.
However, the $250 parking permit cost would not nec-
essarily mean that those people who paid for the permit
would be able to park in a new deck. There is also the cost
of security, operations and annual maintenance.
"I am extremely concerned about the safety of a parking
deck because of the isolated areas created. We would have
to have very good lighting, security and cameras to make
the deck safe to use Midgette said.
"Parking decks by their very nature create places for
would be criminals to vandalize cars or assault individu-
als Getsinger said.
If the campus population grows as projected. ECU
will more than likely have to build a deck. Vet. pians to
build a deck will not start until three to five years from
now.
Unfortunately, ECU cannot sell the current $96 park-
ing permits on a one-to-one basis because it doesn't
make much sense. Not everybody is on this campus all
at the s- Tie Pirking, on this campus, is made avail-
abL to peiv "� -eatest convenience possible.

new pa. ing spaces to a.nps. The r :ccs were created
by reconfiguring the Mamie Jenkins lot, Kivers Building
lot, and the Reade St. lot- between 'rd and 4th streets.
Phase 1 and II of the Allied health lots huve also provid-
ed about 500 additional parking spaces.
The University is currently reconfiguring the lots at

of Ficklen stadium, the recreation fields will be recon-

Tuition increases,

ends
ANGELA KOENIC

With the costs of attending college on
the rise, some students arc asking,
"Show me the money
Students saw a slight increase
when they received their fall bills.
And just when students believed it
was safe to start spending after the
tuition ctunch, an additional S13 bill
will be arriving soon, thanks to a
retroactive tuition hike when the
stare budget was approved two
months after its original deadline.
University Cashier Michael Balko
said the retrocactive increase amounts
to $13 a semester fot in-state full-time
students. The Cashier's Office has not
yet decided when students will be
billed for the increase.
Comptroller Dan Bishop said the
increases are due to two primary fac-
tors.
The first is your basic inflation or
cost of living increase. The second
reason is enrollment growth Bishop
said. "In the budget process, so much
is allocated per stu-
dent and when the
number of students
incteases, services
must also increase
"What we will prob-
ably do is wait until
after the refund period
has ended on Sept. 17.
That weekend we will
probably print up the bills and mail
them the 22nd or 23rd and give stu-
dents until probably Oct. 30 or 30
days to pa the bill Balko said.
According to Balko, the tuition por-
tion of the bill is set by legislators and
covers the educational portion of uni-
versity expenses. �
'Tuition makes up about 10 per-
cent of the cost for instruction, facili-
ties and all support systems Bishop
said. "The rest of the money comes
from the state
Bishop said the state appropriates
$6977 per year, approximately 90 per-
cent, for every in-state student
attending ECU Out-of-state tuition
is more expensive because the state
does not supplement money for these
students.

students to go to an in-state institu-

tion. An out-of-state student is virtu-
ally paying for themselves Bishop
said.
Fees, Bishop said, are supported
only by this money. Any increase in
fees must be approved first by ECl 's
Board of Trustees and then by the
UNC Board of Governors before rhey
can be increased.
According to Balko, there are three
fees everyone -
in or out of state
- must pay, the
educational
technology fee,
the student
health fee and
the university
fee.
The educa-
tionaltechnolo-
gy fee covers
"state-of-the-
att, hands-on,
educational
Balko said. This
fee pays for the
class equipment to science courses
labs and computer labs on campus.
Balko said this fee was approved
years ago when it became apparent
that the university was lacking in
hands-on training for students.
The student health fee pays for the
medical staff and facility available to
ECU students.
The largest of the fees, the univer-
sity fee, covers several areas, including
the student activity fee. This money
is divided between
Student Government
Association (SGA),
media, fine arts, any cul-
tural events to which
students are admitted
free, transit, intramu-
rals. and are used to run
Joyner Library,
Mendenhall Student
Center, Minges Coliseum and the
Student Recreation Center.
A portion of these fees goes to debt
retirement, Balko said. This covers
long-term bond referendums the
school has for things such as new
buildings, renovations or construction.
"What the students have to realize
is that fees are mandated first by what
the students determine that they
need, and second by what the univer-
sity feels we need to keep up with
other schools our size and bring in new
students Balko continued.
"If you went to one school and saw
a state-of-the-art rec center and went
to another school that had a gym the
size of a high school gymnasium, you'd
be more likely to go the school with
the better facilities Balko said.

dangers of binge drinking

STFF WNITFR
.As a result of last week's alcohol-related death at
Louisiana State University, school officials are con-
cerned about ECl' students and their drinking
habits.
In the case at LSU, Benjamin Wynne. 20. liter-
ally drank himself to death. He consumed at least
24 drinks Monday night before he went to Sigma
.Alpha Epsilon, a fraternity where he was a pledge.
Early Tuesday morning, police found a dozen
students passed out on the fraternity's floor, includ-
ing Wynne. The coroner said Wvnne's blood-alcohol
level was .588, which is six times the legal limit for
automobile drivers.
According to research, over 65 percent of adults
drink, but they don't binge drink, like Wynne.
Dr. Donna J. Walsh, director of Health
Promotion and Weil-Being at ECU, defines binge
drinking as "drinking to get drunk
Social drinking tends to be done slowly and in a
relaxed environment; however, binge drinking
involves drinking a large amount of alcohol quickly
and reaching a very high blood alcohol level. Many-
people who binge drink experience problems as a
result of their drinking patterns.
The quantity of alcohol consumed, the time
frame in which it was consumed, and a person's
weight and sex are all determining factors in binge
drinking.
Alcohol is a poison to our system. Once it's in the
stomach, it passes through the intestines, and is
absorbed into the bloodstream. Within three min-
utes, it reaches the brain.
.Alcohol is a depressant and slows down the cen-
tral nervous system. It affects the outer cortical
layer of the brain first, which is responsible for judg-
ment abilities. During the initial phase, the indi-
vidual mav begin to socialize more without regard
to what they're saying or doing.
THURSDAY
Once the judgment layer is affected, the indi-
vidual is more likely to engage in risky activities.
"A person who has consumed two to three drinks
in an hour loses their judgment ability; therefore,
they're more likely to engage in activities that they
normally would avoid said Dr. Walsh.
One drink is either four ounces of wine, 12
ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of 40-proof liquor.
Studies show that family background, family
upbringing, culture, religion, politics, environment,
peer pressure, personal expectations and looking for
a place to belong all affect a person's decision about
whether or not to drink.
"Freshman tend to drink more than upper class-
men. They're trying to find a home away from
home. They experiment in many aspects of their
lives, but their experimentation with alcohol tends
to decline over the course of a couple of years Dr.
Walsh said.
Whether a person is going through a phase or if
they are just partying, people should always drink
with caution. Never drink if you're angry, possibly
pregnant, or if you're taking medication.
If you take medicine and drink, your body
metabolizes the medicine first. While the medica-
tion is being broken down by the liver, the alcohol
remains in the bloodstream. This continues to

The Student
Government
Association (SGA)
will be hard at work in
the coming weeks to
better themselves fot
the benefit of the stu-
dent body.
The executive
council of SGA has
been planning for
some time a two-
week long workshop
when they will learn
how to utilize Roberts
Rules of Order.
"Roberts Rules of Order is the format by
which meetings are run said SGA President
Scott Forbes.
In past years SGA has run into problems
because those voting in meetings were not
sure of the long term effects of their actions.
"Last year some of the problems that leg-
islators had was inconsistency in some of the
bills and the process for which policies and
bills were implemented said Forbes.
"People didn't know what they were voting
on or the long term ramifications
The training sessions are intended to put
an end to these problems in the future.
Training sessions for Roberts Rules of
Order will be conducted by Laura Sweet,
who is a certified expert in the area.
SGA also hopes to build a solid student
government that can better serve the stu-
dent body.
"A lot of times the newly-elected legisla-
tors may not be as familiar with parliamentary
procedures as necessary to properly interact
with the process said Forbes. "Because they
may not be as knowledgeable as necessary,
they may not speak up
The training session is also the first step
to SGA working togethet as a team.
'This educational program is designed
and intended to put all legislators on equal
footing with one another so they will feel
more comfortable in suggesting or debating
bills said Forbes.
These training sessions will start immedi-
ately after the general legislature is elected.
Applications are being filed now as they
are required by the university's constitution.
Training sessions should improve SGA not
only for their personal benefit, but for the
benefit of the student body.
'The worst thing that can happen would
be a few select people dominating the meet-
ing, therefore not all students will be truly-
represented said Forbes.
Though this has not been a problem in
the past, SGA would like to ensure that it will
not become a problem in the future.

Greensboro requires sprinklers in frart houses
dffifiNSBORO AP) .Alt fraternity and sorority houses in Greensboro must be
eqinpped with fire-procection sprinkler systems within five years under a mea-
suk adopted by the City CouncH.
In May 19, five students were killed in a fraternity house fire in Chapel
Hilt. The house did net have a sprinkler system.
Greensboro and Chapel Mill are two of five cities that now require the pro-
tection.
Under the new rule, houses designated for fraternity and sorority use that are
larger than 1,000 square feet must be equipped with sprinkler systems within
five years.
Local Kre Marshal ftul Brooks said the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro is the only university in the city with official fraternities housed off
campus.
Residents around plant leave
after unsafe air quality reading
GLENOLA, N.C. (AP) - Several dozen residents living near a Randolph County
foam-manufacturing operation left their homes early today after higher than
acceptable levels of hydrocarbons were reported in the air.
TTrinity American Corp. President Jerry Drye said this morning the voluntary
evacuation was prompted by the high readings for unknown hydrocarbons on
property near the operation.
The US. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry took the reading
and alerted Randolph County health officials, which issued the voluntary evacu-
ation. More than 55 people decided to leave their homes after firefighters arrived
in the community about 2 a.m WXLVTV reported. Residents west taken to a
recreation center in nearby Archdale.
Drye said he does not know what prompted the higher reading. In Match,
Trinity reached an agreement with state health officials to reduce emissions from
the foam plant. State and federal regulators have been taking air-quality readings
over the past several months.
Prosecutors want mental examination of Kaczynski
: SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Defense attorneys want to block the government
; from forcing Unabomber defendant Theodore Kaczynski to submit to psychiatric
;�tests, saying that would violate his rights.
Prosecutors on Tuesday asked U.S. District Judge Garland Burrcll Jr. to allow
the government to have its own experts examine Kaczynski in preparation for his
trial, set to begin Nov. 12.
Defense lawyers suggested in June that they would seek to introduce expert
testimony on Kaczynski's mental health. They have said they do not plan to
argue that he is insane, but may try to show that the former Berkeley math pro-
fessor lacked the mental capacity to form the intent to commit a crime.
Assistant U.S. Attorney j. Douglas Wilson told Burrcll on Tuesday that if the
defense planned to offer testimony about some mental health claim, it was only
fair to allow prosecutors to examine the defendant.
Diocese tries to nullify ordination of abusive priest
DALLAS (AP) - Local Roman Catholic officials asked the Vatican to revoke the
ordination of the priest at the center of a sexual abuse lawsuit that led to a119.6
million judgment.
Monsignor John Bell, No. 3 official in the Dallas diocese, said Tuesday if the
request for "nullification" is granted, it would mean that Rudolph Kos was never
really an ordained priest.
The diocese is asking for the unusual step on grounds that Kos deceived
church officials about his background and sexual orientation.
The jury ordered the award to 11 plaintiffs in the civil suit on Jury 24, finding
unanimously that the diocese was grossly negligent and concealed information in
its handling of Kos.
The diocese did not deny the plaintiffs were abused but said its handling of
the situation was not negligent. Kos himself did not appear at the trial to contest
the allegations.
Bell, a canon lawyer who proposed the nullification, wouldn't speculate on the
chances that the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the
Sacraments at the Vatican would grant the request or when it might rule.
The last such nullification granted on grounds of misrepresentation was 47
years ago, Beli said.

Karadzic wants to negotiate demands
he be tried for war crimes
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - Radovan Karadzic wants U.N. lawyers to
come to Bosnia for a pretrial investigation into his suspected war crimes
before deciding whether to stand trial on the charges, one of hi allies said
today.
The offer was made to U.N. human rights envoy Elisabeth Rehn by
Momcilo Krajisnik, a close Karadzic associate, during a meeting in Pale,
Karadzic's stronghold.
Krajisnik said the safety of witnesses would be guaranteed during the
investigations of indictments against Karadzic and Gen. Ratko Mladic, the
wartime leader of the Bosnian Serb army. The two men are the top war
crimes suspects.
The U.N. war crimes tribunal has already rejected an offer by the
Karadzic camp that he be allowed to stand trial in Bosnia instead of in The
Hague, Netherlands, where the court is located.
Today's offer was new in suggesting an investigation before an actual trial.
With both suspects having the option of rejecting a trial should the investi-
gations further implicate them, the tribunal was not expected to approve
the offer.

! Three non-related people may not live together in the same house in Greenville due to a city
djrdinaace which makes economical college living difficult.
If the four-bedroom house one block from campus, which you've had your eye on since your
freshman year, suddenly becomes vacant, unless you have cousins or siblings at school here, the
rent will probably be out of the question. $1,000 a month rent would be hard enough to swallow
cfcvided by four and out of the question split three ways. Without that fourth roommate to share
afcpenses, the house is unobtainable to most students.
What to do? If the landlord, as many landlords have been known to do, decides to look the
(fther way and sign three of you on a lease, with the understanding that the fourth may stay
tlhiess they get caught, the house may be yours.
I; Here's the catch, lfbur neighbor, who has been parking in the house's driveway for the last five
clears, is not happy because you told him there was no room for his car anymore. Well, it may not
legal to have more than three unrelated people in a house, but it is legal to call the city
jpector and report violators anonymously. So, of course, the neighbor calls the inspector, the
Inspector finds more than three unrelated people living in the home, and yo�; re k ung for a
place to live.
What's going on here? Why in a college town would there be an ordinance so counter-produc-
to college living? Certainly the residence halls cannot hold all 17,000 students and apart-
:nt living is not for everyone. With an entire district of homes stretching over three miles long
m Cotanche Street to 10th Street and several blocks deep from 5th Street to the Tar River,
10 else does the city think is going to inhabit this area other than students?
TEC understands that the city has an interest in preventing communes of people from Irving
together in massive numbers in houses not built to accomodate large numbers. We aren't sug-
gesting the city have no regulations at all. What TEC would like to see are the numbers changed
from three unrelated people to four or five.
Most of the houses in the "student district" are old homes, many of which have more than
fhree bedrooms. The city council needs to address this problem and help students live in
Greenville economically while attending ECU.
I There are zoning exceptions for fraternity and sorority houses, allowing large numbers of
inrelated people to reside together. Apartment complexes, such as The Players Club, are zoned
In such a way as to allow four unrelated people to live together. If the city recognizes a need for
these zoning regulations, it does not seem unreasonable to recognize a need for the "student dis-
trict" to offer more affordable housing, by allowing four rather than three unrelated people to a
home.
i Whitlc it may mean more work for city officials to address homes on an individual basis and
jjet limits which are appropriate for larger or adapted homes, making housing more affordable for
tudents is a service which the student community and TEC would appreciate all the way to the
oting booths this November.

Mary
WEBB
Distribute fees among patrons of services
truly believe that ECU
pro: ides excellent services
to its student and they
should he applauded
for their efforts.
However, isn't there a
fairer way to even
up the fees PI don't have
use for many of
these facilities
I am poor. Like a vast majority of
ECU students, I am in need of ever-
increasing funds for school. And this
makes me unhappy. Well, more like
annoyedirritatedangry. Take your
pick.
Let me exnlain. 1 work extremely
hard end save every penny. For exam-
ple, I don't go out on the weekends
with my friends. There are no fancy
dinners, no new clothes and the same
old, beaten up car. I feel that in-state
tuition for 12 credits and above is fair-
ly reasonable at around $800 or so.
What makes me see red are ail the
added on costs like the
"EducationalTech" fee ($30) and
"University fees" ($344). What exact-
ly are these? In an effort to find out
and understand both sides of the
story I telephoned the cashier's office
an 'oke with Miciud lidko.
liuiko explained that the educa-
state of the art equipment for the
chemistry, physics and biology labs. It
also covers the computer labs avail-
able at the library. The University
fees provides us with a broad range of
services. These include transit ser-
vices, intramural activities, functions
held at Mendenhall, the recreation
center, the SGA as well as the media
board.
My major is Communication and
this is a field that requires both tech-
nical as well as strong academic sup-
port. I have been at ECU for two years
now and am getting ready for gradua-
tion in the Pall. However, during all of
this time, the only 'technical services'
that I have had to avail myself of were
the computers located at Edwards
Lab in the General Classroom
Building � for a couple of hours a
week. And then there were some vis-
its to the library to use Proquest.
It is noted in the tuition payment
schedule (which each student
receives every semester) that the
above mentioned fees entitle part-
time students to the same services
and privileges as full-time students. I
truly believe that ECU provides
excellent services to its students and
they should be applauded for their
efforts. How er, i.Mi't th.re a fairer
way to even p the toes? I d� t have
use for mam of these facilir id vet
full semester. I commute to school so
I don't use the purple buses. Being a
transfer student, I have already com-
pleted the required classes in Biology
etc. and therefore don't have need for
the labs. And as far as I am concerned,
the SGA has not done anything worth
mentioning � so that's a waste of
money as well.
Contributions are also made to cer-
tain organizations from these fees. 1
don't care if it's just $2.00 - at least ask
us. What if I don't agree with these
organizations goals, ideals or princi-
ples?
And then there is the ever-growing
problem with some professors who
require students to purchase three or
four expensive books for their class-
which they never use! But that's
another column

TV only makes viewers feel bad on daily basis
what happens to our
generation, which grew up
literally spending
more time watching
TV than communicating
withfamity?
Statisticians report average U.S.
households watch over six hours of
television daily. Personally, I don't
know any average U.S. households. I
suspect Martha Stewart's may be. At
any rate, that's six hours of ogling a
day. We watch ER, Bayuatck, Seinfeld.
We know the characters' lives better
than the lives of real people we
know.
But what happens to our genera-
tion, which grew up literally spend-
ing more time watching TV than
communicating with family?
Watching silicon-injected, cucum-
brously coot, characters, saving lives
or falling tropically in love. What
happens when we watch tons of TV
which affects nearly every aspect of
life, from deodorant soap, to what we
look for in a sp e? ProMem is,
most of us don't realize the deep
effect of TV; or if we do realize, we
don't really care (the TV as indiffer-
ent living room furniture syndrome).
Why has this generation seen a
spike in the number of cases of clin-
ical depression? Why has the divorce
rate rocketed since 1950?
Because Joe Briefcase watches six
hours of good looking, sinisterly
charming people living extraordinary
lives. Then Joe looks at his own life
and says, "My wife isn't nearly that
good looking" or "All I do is sell insur-
ance or real estate or teach elemen-
tary kids etc Ironically, what does
Joe do? Does he go out and save lives
or meet gorgeous people? I think it's
safe to say that in most cases, no. He
plops down for another six hours
and, whether conscious of it or not,
subtly feels even worse about him-
self. It's a vicious, self-deprecating
cycle that 250 million Americans
subject themselves to daily.
" While tribute is paid to freedom of the press
in theory, the rights upon which it rests
are attacked in detail

The Eatt Carolinian
Playhouse prepares
for full fall season
John Davis
ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
The idea of watching a play probably isn't very appealing to most of us. The
word "theatre" conjures images of English actors trilling their 'R's while spout-
ing droll renditions of Hamlet. Worse still, it may bring to mind getting dressed
up as one of the lumpy sheep in the annual Christmas pageant down at the local
church. Mom always thought you looked so cute in that shepherd outfit.
Musicals probably make you think of Julie Andrews and the family Von Trapp.
Fortunately, the East Carolina Playhouse hasn't been talking to your mother.
They've been busy lining up what is sure to be a blockbuster set of plays and
musicals for the fall semester. The Playhouse is run by professors from the
School of Theater Arts and the actors are usually ECU students. The produc-
tions themselves are rarely dry or boring. Last year the Playhouse put on the
controversial Suburbia and the wickedly funny Lysistrata.
This fall, the first musical is the Tony Award winning The Mystery of Edwin
Drood. This Broadway musical is based on an unfinished mystery by Charles
Dickens. Characters like Princess Puffer, an opium addict; Rosa Bud, the play's
obligatory pure heroine; and an unnamed male lead, who is supposed to repre-
sent the murdered Drood populate the play. Composer Rupert Holmes has
worked every possible ending into the musical by allowing the audience to
make critical decisions in the progress of the plot, like one of those Choose Your
Own Adventure books from the '80s. This means, naturally, that one could con-
ceivably attend the show three nights in a row and see a different play each
time.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood will be directed by newcomer Marcus Olson, who
has just come from Broadway himself. The show runs from October 16 to 21.
The second production this semester, Mothei Hicks, is a touching drama set
in the Great Depression. Steeped in American Folklore, much like past
Playhouse performance The Dark of the Moon, it explores the roots of prejudice.
It centers around the story of Girl, an orphan who searches for her parents and
ends up at the lair of Mother Hicks, whom the townspeople think to be a witch.
The play features a hearing-impaired character, and therefore incorporates
American Sign Language into the script. If for nc other reason, the visual poet-
ry and choreography of ASL should be enough of a reason to see this play.
Directed by East Carolina Playhouse veteran Donald Biehn, (Someone to
Watch Over Me, Dancing at Iughnasa) Mother Hicks shows November 20-25.
Tickets are available individually or for the entire season and can be pur-
chased at the box office in the lobby of McGinnis Theatre or by calling 328-
1726. Prices for season passes are $32-836 for faculty and staff and $36-$40 for
the general public. Individual ticket prices are $5-$6 for children and students,
$7-$8 for faculty and staff, and $8-$9 for the public. All shows run Thursday -
Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m. only.
This is not a rant. The goal: to write
complete sentences and hopefully to
make some sort of point. Just another
ass with an opinion

Henry Acrobat releases new disc
�TrVTflftH
John Davis
ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
Note: I wanted to title this article "Looking for
Henry Acrobat Unfortunately, AP style (that's a
writing style used by newspaper writers, kids)
demands an active verb in every headline. This is
why most headlines sound stupid: "Local band
releases first CD "Search for Acrobat continues
Never mind my pun on DeNiro's recent adapta-
tion of Shakespeare's history Richard III. Never
mind originality and creativity AP style must win
out. I'm sure the Iiluminati have had some hand in
this
Because I'm hostile to the local music scene
(especially Purple Schootbus) and Peasant's (which
is a hotbed of Melrose Place-style gossip and petti-
ness), I've never actually, until Thursday afternoon,
heard Henry Acrobat. So when I tripped on down to
the Percolator and chatted with Todd Roberts, the
singersongwriter of the group, I was shocked and
surprised to discover how articulate, intelligent and
coot he was.
Unfortunately the bureaucratic powers that be
have not yet provided me with one of those handy
mini tape recorders, so you'll never know just how
cool Todd is unless you talk to him yourself, or check
out Henry Acrobat's fab web page. I will, however.
relate the important facts revealed by said interview.
Roberts was a fun kid to chat with. He's well-
read and humorous, which no doubt shines through
in his lyrics. His vision for his music is to have fun
most of all. While he doesn't want to be "some ultra-
depressing MorisseySmiths freak he doesn't want
the band to be just another Greenville party band
either. The latest trend of roots-rock bands in the
downtown scene has constrained bands like Henry
Acrobat, but Roberts values his relationship with the
Greenville music scene and is pleased with recent
developments such as the Musician's Guild.
The CD itself was recorded and produced by the
band. I was given a cassette tape with four of the
album's songs featured on it. The songs themselves
are a pretty good mix of funk, punk and other sorts
of loud music. Fortunately, Henry Acrobat does not
sound like a copy of the latest ska trend. They actu-
ally sound like themselves, which is a refreshing
change from certain Grateful Dead copy bands who
have made their home here. Roberts commented
that he worked very hard ro recreate Henry
Acrobat's live sound on the CD. The only drawback
to the songs I heard was the obvious stamp of engi-
neer John Phmalc, who has managed to become a
big shot in the North Carolina music scene.
Phmale's mixing style is dry and uninviting, turning
Henry Acrobat's otherwise spacious and loud songs
into a kind of mush at points. But the demo is still
pretty enjoyable in spite of Phmale's murk.
Henry Acrobat themselves will be performing at
Peasant's to celebrate this momentous event. Their
aforementioned fabulous web site is www.grecnvii-

Comedy Zone brings in the laugh
JENNIFER LEGCETT
STFF WRITER
For the past 26 years The Attic in downtown Greenville has been a gathering
place for a growing number of ECU students and Greenville residents. Voted
one of the top 100 college bars in America by Piayhov magazine, The Arric has
become a multi-event kind of club hosting dance nights and concerts as well as
weekly comedy acts.
The Attic's Comedy Zone is an attraction that has been packing the house
for years. The Comedy Zone is actually an agency that books comedians in clubs
once a week in towns, around the country that might not be able to support a
full-time comedy club.
Every Wednesday night for the past 11 (yes 11) years, students, friends and
everyone else have been piling into the Attic to catch the latest comedy acts
and laugh until their faces hurt. The crowds tove the comedians and the come-
dians love the college age crowds who heartily respond to NASCAR, sweet tea
and sexual prowess (or lack thereof) jokes. Prop comics also do well with The
.Attic crowd - the goofier the better.
A regular performer at Comedy Zone, comedian Jim Holder, seems to enjoy
his job. "It's a really good gig said Holder. "I get to sleep all day hang out and
work 45 minutes a night. What could be better?" The comedians are great at
getting the audience to have fun and participate - drunken heckling doesn't
count.
Comedy Zone is a great place to hang out on Wednesday nights. Attic owner
joe Tronto likes to keep admission cost down so it will cost you only a dollar,
with your student ID, to come hang out and see exciting new comedy acts every
week.
On Comedy Zone nights the Attic is set up with lots of group size tables, big
enough for all of your suitemates, study partners, or co-workers. Waitresses

come around to cake your drink orders so you don't have to miss a minute of the
show standing in line at the bar and baskets of freshly popped popcorn wait for
you on your table (for snacking, not throwing).
Usualy, two comedians perform each Wednesday for about 45 minutes each.
The show starts around 9:30 p.m. and is over at an carry midnight time. For any-
one having to get up at the crack of dawn for class or work, this may be the per-
fect night out for you and your friends.
For those of you who are weary of straying from your television on Wednesday
night, maybe Comedy Zone just might be able to break you from your Melrose
habit. Comedy Zone has a different and hilarious act each week, providing an
exciting and fun atmosphere where you can't help but have a blast.

That Howard Stem done got me riled up, mama.
No, the "King of All Media" didn't offend me with any cmde jokes about les-
bians or cotton pickin' Christopher Reeve. This time he really messed up. He
was picking on country music, ywu :cc. This rile incident occurred while I was
watching that movie of his, Prkvtc Parrs. I had seen the movie before, so I real-
ly don't know why this time it got my pickle peppered. In the movie, Howard
tuit his job at the radio station he was working after they switched formats to
country music. Howard said he couldn't relate to country music because he
went to college and didn't fool around w ith his sister or nothing like that. That's
what got me. He was saying he was too smart for country music - he thought he

I think I lot of people feel they're too smart for country music. The people
who listen to country music, they think, are about as sharp as a stick of butter.
They envision backwoods rednecks with tobacco juice dripping down their
SEE BACK IN THE DAY PAGE S
Okay, let me start by admitting that I am totally
corrupting the "Back In The Day" column with
this article. It's my understanding that the
column is meant for obscure CD's and
movies that have gone way too long with-
out due praise. Unfortunately I'm a retro
idiot who has very little obscure taste, so
instead, I'm focusing all of my "Back In
The Day's" on what I consider quintes-
sential albums of mainstream rock.
That being said, my first choice is
Aerosmith's classic Toys In The Attic.
Despite
their phe-
nomenal suc-
cess in the '70s,
most people who
think of Aerosmith these
days think of "Dude
(Looks Like A Lady)" as
being the start of their
career, and this voids an
overwhelming amount of
good music.
The highlight of this
era of Aerosmith is Toys In
The Attic. Far enough along
in their career that they
had experience and fan
support, yet carry enough
that drugs hadn't taken
too much of a toll, the
Toys-cn Aersomith had it
together in a big way No
Aerosmith tan can consid-
er their collection com-
plete without this jewel
and. likewise, any rock fan
at all would find it a suit-
able addition to their col-
lection.
With a quick look at the
song list one immediately notices the anthems "Sweet
Emotion" and "Walk This Way "Sweet Emotion" is the
complete version as compared to the short version available
on the band's greatest hits. Not a whole lot more needs to
be said about these since anyone who listens to any rock
radio at all can probably already sing along to these songs.
However, these two songs are nowhere near being the
highlights of the album. The album is a mix of blues.
rhythm and blues, and, at the time, groundbreaking rock.
Songs like "Toys In The Attic" and "Adam's Apple" walk
the fine Aerosmithian line between hard rock and pop
while songs like "Big Ten Inch Record" and "Uncle Salty"
allow the boys to pay homage to the blues greats that
inspired them. Also, lyrically "Uncle Salty" is a preview of
things to come. A close listen to the words will show that
"Uncle Salty" confronts the same issue as their hit "Janie's
Got A Gun" over a decade before that song was ever writ-
ten.
Still my personal favorites come late in the album. "No
More, No More" is a tribute to life on the road but with ail
the downs that come with it. Lines tike, "Blood stains the
ivories of my daddy's baby grand1 ain't seen the daylight
since the scan of this band foreshadow the tensions and
stress that eventually broke the band apart at the end of
the 70s, while, "You love 'em and you leave 'em with your

Then there's "Round

sonal list of all time
greatest Aerosmith
songs, "Round and
Round" is near the top.
Heavier and slower than
almost any other
Aerosmith song, its dark,

song, "You See Me

to say the least. My
advice, if you have a pro-
grammable CD player, is
to program "You See Me

middle because, despite
being a great song, after
"Round and Round" it
just doesn't compare.
So, now that I've totally ruined the point of this.column,
I suppose I'll crawl back into my cave of lava lamps and
Pink Floyd posters, but not before I add this one note: if
you're looking to buy Toys you're in luck. Columbia recent-
ly remastered all of the old Aerosmith catalog and rere-
leased them complete with full inlays. If nothing else, the
inlays alone make it worth getting the new version so keep
a sharp eye out, ya dig? "�

probably because their version of the
blues consists of little more than long
guitar solos and Eric Clapton or Stevie
Ray Vaughn. The two genres often
share similar themes: loneliness,
poverty, trouble with the law, etc I
read a recent article where they said
the difference between country
music and the blues was that country
music had no pride; the songs consist-
ed of link more than self-pity with no
sense of hope or something better: I
don't buy that; I think country music
does offer hope, if only in knowing
that some one else has the same
damn troubles you have.
A friend once told me that you
couldn't like country music unless
you've been to the boctom. You had to
hurt to understand. She said that her

haven't been to the bottom. I've got
my fender scratched a few times by
falling for someone too quick, but that
ain't exactly the bottom, and I'm not
martyr enough to think it is.
I understand what she was trying
to say though. Some people think
country is simply depressing. To
understand why anyone would want
to sing about being so far down, you
have to have experienced what they
did, been where they've been. That
doesn't ring true to me either. I think
the good country songs have charac-
ters that I can imagine, that 1 know
exist, even if I have never actually
been there or known someone like

Courage carries disabled student far in athletics
ffnfrA! Mackey has done anything but let his disabilities brine Dlace swimming rirlev rhn� nniifino f�r rh- � k ji� i� �
TRACY LAl'BACH
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
"If you think you are handicapped, then you are. If you think
you're not, then you're not. You may rave challenges, but
everyone else has challenges too. You have to look past those
challenges and set your heart into doing something that you
love to do, and then go for it Chris Mackey said.
A sophomore from Gary, Mackey is one of the most spirit-
ed, determined and accomplished students on campus. He
can often be found on the basketball court at the Student
Recreation Center, shooting basket after basket, or at the
pool, swimming lap after lap.
But Mackey doesn't run up and down the basketball court,
and he doesn't walk to the pool when he wants to go for a
swim. As one of the university's 21 physically disabled stu-
dents on campus, Mackey shoots from a wheelchair and
swims using his arms and upper body only.
Bom with an orthopedic disability known as Spina Bifida,
Mackey has suffered from severe nerve damage from his waist
down. Recent research suggests that the condition, in which
a small hole exists in the back of the spine, may be hereditary.
Mackey has done anything but let his disabilities bring
him down. At the age of six, he began swimming, and six years
later, he took up an interest in basketball. As a member of a
Chapel Hill-based youth team for young athletes with dis-
abilities, Mackey traveled the entire country with his team-
mates throughout his high school career.
Looking to pursue a degree in recreational or occupation-
al therapy at a school not so far from home, Mackey decided
to enroll at ECU because of the variety of Allied Health pro-
grams and career choices that are available.
"I knew that in coming to ECU, I would have the oppor-
tunity to change my major ifl wanted while still remaining in
the same field of study Mackey said.
A first semester freshman looking to get involved but not
quite sure how, Mackey received information in the mail
about a university program called ARISE, standing for
Adaptive Recreation Intramural Sports Enrichment.
Comprised of faculty from recreational services, university
staff, and disabled students, the program aims to let the dis-
abled give input on the types of recreational activiries they
would like to see available Through ARISE, Mackey was able
to obtain information pertaining to athletic competitions for
disabled persons, which he immediately entered and began
training for.
In a regional competition last April amongst students from
both North and South Carolina, Mackey clinched five first
place swimming titles, thus qualifying for the national cham-
pionship, held three months later at Springfield College in
Springfield, Mass
The national meet, the Disabled Sports USA National
Summer Games, hosted disable athletes from around the
world. With competitors from as far away as Canada and
Australia, Mackey swam in three events, claiming two fourth
place and one fifth place finish.
In the 100-meter freestyle event at nationals, Mackey fin-
ished in an incredible 1:25, just four seconds shy of tying the
American record of 1:21.
"I am positive that with a lot of hard training, I can go into
a meet in the future and set a new record Mackey said.
Ron Curl, a past paraolympic swimmer and member of the
Greenville community, led Mackey in the right direction after
the two athletes met at an ARISE meeting last year.
"Ron got me started and gave me a lot of confidence
Mackey said. "He convinced me that I had a lot of potential
and could take my swimming to a new level
Mackey recently received an application for an interna-
tional competition, scheduled to be held this December in
Argentina.
"I'm not sure if I am ready to compete at that level yet
Mackey said. "But one thing I do have going for me right now
is that at the national meet in Springfield, I was the fastest
American in all of the events I competed in
Mackey"s ultimate goal is to follow
in the footsteps of Curl and compete in
the paraolympics, which are held every
four years in conjunction with the
Olympic games. The second largest
athletic event in the world, the compe-
tition amongst the disabled is held a
few weeks after the closing of the
Olympics. Four people arc selected for
each event from each country.
For now, Mackey is in search of a
permanent coach, someone to provide
guidance and stick by his side.
"I need a coach that will devise a
workout program for me to stick to, and
to be on the side of the pool to give me direction and push me
to work hard Mackey said. "When I work out by myself, 1
don't usually push myself to train as hard as I need to -
Mackey encourages ail students, disabled and not, to get
involved and take advantage of the vast variety of programs
that arc offered at ECU. He is Irving proof that with a lot of
heart, anything is possible, and that no matter who you arc or
what your conditions may be, a lot can be accomplished, rf
only you believe.

Get ready to paint the town purple
Jeremy Anderson
STAFF WRITER
It's time to "Paint it Purple" again.
Last season. Pirate football fans were greeted as
they entered Greenville with signs proclaiming
Welcome to Purplcville This season, Pirate fans
fill not be greeted quite the same way.
"They (the signs) will probably not be put back
p this year said Craig Stanley, president of the
itt County Pirate Club.
The reason why the signs will not be put back
p is simply economical.
We had some signs stolen last year and they
rcre kind of expensive to replace Stanley said.
In the absence of the signs, the Pitt Counrv
Pirate Club is still sponsoring the "Paint it Purple"
campaign. Just like last year, t-shirts are being sold
to local businesses and other members of the com-
munity.
"We have already sold over 6,000 shirts to Icc-1
businesses and other area citizens said Lindy
Daughtry, a representative of the Pitt County
Pirate Club.
"We (Pirate Club) want to make it a communi-
ty effort Daughtry said. "If we keep the price low
we can reach out to everyone in the community
The "Paint it Purple" shirts are relatively cheap
$5 and can be purchased at marty locations
throughout the city including UBE, ECU Student
Stores, local Trade Marts and Evans Street Texaco.
All of the money made from shirt sales is
returned to the university.
"We return all the proceeds to an endowment
fund for student athletes the Pirate Club has set
up with the school Stanley said.
The "Paint it Purple" campaign originated from
Pirate Club members who attended a game in
Tennessee a few seasons ago.
"We got the idea when we saw the whole town
( in Tennessee) was orange Daughtry said. "We
thought we should be able to do the same thing
here in Greenville
The purpose was to get fans excited for the
Pirate home football games.
"The main goals of the 'Paint it Purple' cam-
paign is to create a festive atmosphere for opposing
teams as they enter town and to raise excitement
around the ECU football program Stanley said.
Stanley attributes the success of the campaign
to the hard work of Daughtry.
"I can't say enough about how hard Lindy has
worked at UBE to make this campaign a success
Stanley said.

It is often heard after victories that we can "paint this

means or where it came from. In his first year with ECU,
Charles coined the expression after many of ECU's tri-
umphs. He felt that it was important to paint a picture
through the broadcast so the listeners could "see" the
game.
"People get enthused about the color purple Charles
said.
With the way our team is shaping up, we may just be
able to paint everything purple.

Agassi out, Chang and Williams are in
NEW YORK (AP) - The tennis at Arthur Ashe Stadium is taking on the look of a Magic Show.
Fan favorites Andre .Agassi and Monica Seles disappeared Tuesday. And Michael Chang pulled off his latest escape.
Welcome -to the 1997 U.S. Open, where, without mirrors or wires, the latest sleight of hand tricks were performed by
Patrick Rafter, Marcelo Rio and Irina Spirlea, and the newest smash hit is Venus Williams.
Today, sixth-seeded Lindsay Davenport attempted to join Williams as the only Americans in the women's singles semi-
finals. Davenport, the 1996 Olvmpic gold medalist faced No. 3 Jana Novotna.
Tonight, top-seeded Martina Hingis, who is seeking her third Grand Slam tournament title of the year, plays No. 10
Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, the 1994 U.S. Open champion, for the last women's berth in the semifinals.
The men are looking for the last berths in the quarterfinals. Two of the sport's biggest hitters - Britain's Greg Rusedski
and Richard Krajicek of the Netherlands - face off before giant-killer Ffetr Korda takes on Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman in the
last match of the night.
Charities denied 'Shoeless Joe1 Jackson's will
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Shoeless Joe Jackson's rare signature will stay in a vault rather than be auctioned off by two char-
ities that want to make money for medical research.
Joseph Jefferson "Shoeless Joe" Jackson died in 1951 in Greenville, still fighting allegations that he and seven Chicago
White Sox teammates threw the 1919 World Scries.
The illiterate player with the career .356 batting average rarely signed anything, and as a result his signed will has been
estimated to be worth more than $100,000.
The American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association claimed the document because Jackson s wife,
Katie, who died in 1959, named them as her beneficiaries. However, the five-member South Carolina Supreme Court
ruled unanimously Tuesday that she never owned the will, and it will stay in a Greenville County vault.
The court ruled in 1990 that original wills must be kept for 75 years after they are filed. Records released by county
Probate Courts must go to the state Archives and History Department.

ESPN to acquire Classic
Sports Network
NEW YORK (.AP) - ESPN reached
agreement today to acquire Classic
Sports Network, providing a powerful
backer to the smaller, nostalgia-orient-
ed sports netwotk.
Classic Sports, launched in May
1995. offers archival and original pro-
gramming from all the major sports
leagues and includes exclusive rights
to a large library of boxing films. The
network is currently available in about
10 million cable and satellite homes.
Brian Bedol, the CEO of Classic
Sports, said the deal with ESPN gives
the network its best opportunity to
grow.
"Classic Sports relives the events
Bedol said in a joint statement with
ESPN president and CEO Steven
Bornstein. "It captures the memories
of the people, games and headlines in
sports, much of which has been
brought to the public through ABC
Sports and ESPN
ABC Inc which is a subsidiary of
the Walt Disney Company, owns 80
percent of ESPN. Bornstein said
Classic Sports is a natural fit into
ESPN's stable of networks, which
includes ESPN, ESPN2 and
ESPNews.
"Classic Sports Network is a per-
fect complement to the ESPN family
of services Bornstein said. "Adding
the promotional power of the ESPN
brand and our programming and mar-
keting resources promises accelerated
growth for the network
Classic Sports had in a battle with
Cablevision Systems Corp. over access
to Cablevision's Rainbow
Programming unit. Classic Sports
charged that Cablevision squashed its
plans to carry Classic Sports in the
lucrative New York City and
Connecticut markets when its bid to
buy the vintage sports network failed.
Football
continued from page 10
"You can't let him bounce it outside because he's got real good speed
Darden said. "So what we have to do is contain him. If we contain him. we'll
have a good ballgame
Head Coach Steve Logan said it will be hard to prepare for Zereoue in
practice.
"The bad news for us is that West Virginia is going to have a 250 pound
fullback coming in on those linebackers Logan said. "We're not going to Ik
able to simulate that too well in practice
The defense has worked hard on containing their opponents in practice
and trying to strip the ball to create turnovers.
"We're always trying to improve on the defense Semenza said. "We
always put a strong emphasis on wrapping up the ball carrier and trying to
strip the ball from him
Rod Colcman, a junior linebacker, wants to create the turnovers so the
ECU offense can get the points on the board.
"We have to force turnovers and hope our offense doesn't turn the ball
over Coleman said. "Coach (Paul) Jette told us we should have at least four
or five a game. If you have that many turnovers it gives our offense more
opportunities, and more chances to win and score
Gametime for the Pirates is set for 12:50 p.m. this Saturdav in
Morgantown. The game will be aired nationallv on ESPN. For ticket infor-
mation call 1-800-WVU-GAME.
