Sandra Bullock, a former ECU student
received an Outstanding Alumni
Award during Homecoming weekend.
Unfortunately, Bullock was unable
to attend because of a movie
promotional tour in Italy. She did,
however; fax an acceptance speech
thanking ECU.
"Thank you for this honor ECU,
and thank you for the teachers said
Bullock.
On Friday, a dinner was held to
honor ail four award recipients. During
the honorary reception, John D.
Shearin, chair of the ECU Department
of Theatre Arts, read Bullock's speech
and later accepted her tutor-plated
award during half-time at Saturday's
football game.
Many people were disappointed
that Bullock was unable to attend the
reception, yet even more people
questioned her qualifications to
receive such an award. While she is
extremely successful and highly
respected, she never graduated from
RTU
"Sandra attended ECU from 1982-
1986 and was a theatre arts major. She
left in the summer of 1986, only a few
hours away from graduating said Kay-
Murphy, director of Donor and
Prospect Development.
It is widely believed that an
individual must be a graduate to
receive an Outstanding Alumni Award,
but this is not always true.
According to the ECU Alumni
Association, "This award is presented
to. those who have received a degree
from ECU. However, in cases of
unusual circumstances
suggest an exception,
Committee may vote
someone who attended
significant amount of time, but did not
receive a degree
Some people think that it's sending
the wrong message to honor someone
who never graduated, but the overall
consensus seems to be one of
acceptance and approval.
"She has made outstanding
accomplishments and brought credit
back upon the university said Don
Lcggecc, Associate Vice Chancellor for
Alumni Relations.
ECU takes pride in all of their
alumni; however, ECU is especially
proud of Bullock because she has used
her education to achieve great success
and acclaim. She always speaks well of
ECU and promotes a positive attitude
toward hard work and determination.
"Sandra is an outstanding reflection
of ECU. If someone is out there as an
acceptable role model, that's a
favorable thing. We need more
positive images said Virgil Clark, Sr
chair of Association Committee of
ECU Alumni Organization.

McLawhorn has campaign signs stolen
Candidate said that
other candidates' signs
went untouched
Hoi.i.y Harris
itXff WRITER
When city council candidate Steve
McLawhorn and his wife Nicole awoke on
Sunday morning, rhey found that over 35 of
the campaign signs they had worked all
week to put up were missing.
Signs placed along 5th, 10th, and Elm
streets were conspicuously absent from
both residential areas
and thoroughfares,
with nearly half of
those missing having
been taken from along
public roads.
McLawhorn said he
has no idea who is
responsible for the
theft of his signs. "I
can't imagine, I think
it's more than the
general vandalism because rhey had been
taken down completely said McLawhorn,
noting that signs had only been knocked
down before, never removed.
Oddly enough, other candidates' political
signs such as those for Inez Kridley which
were placed a few feet away from
McLawhorn's signs- were left untouched.
McLawhorn, an ECU student, and
incumbent Fridley, director of facility
management at ECU, are running against
one another for the third district seat on the
city council.
Sources from the North Carolina
Department of Traffic and Highways and
the Department of Maintenance have
confirmed that their organizations did not
remove McLawhorn's signs due ro any
infringement of regulations.
"We were very clear about the distances
from rhe road of rhe areas that they're in
McLawhorn said.
Though it is difficulr to speculate who
might have taken the signs and if thev will
do it again. McLawhorn has plans to replace
them over the weekend anyway.
"I just wish whoever is caking them down
would stop McLaw horn said.

TEC, Daily Reflector
newsstands removed from
Fleming front porch
Work order shows Fridley,
hall coordinator requested
stands be sent to dump
Amanda Austin
NEWS EDITOR
Two newsstands were removed recently
from the front porch of Fleming Hall at the
request of housing officials.
Stands owned by The East Carolinian and
The Daily Reflector were ordered removed
from the residence hall by Inez
Fridley, associate director of
housing for facility
management and a candidate
for City Council, and Wayne
Parsons, coordinator for Cotten
& Fleming halls.
Dated Oct. 14, the service
request said to "pick up the two
newspaper boxes on the front
porch of Fleming Hall and
dispose of them. They can be
put on the dump truck to be
raken to the dump
The East Carolinian's
newsstands are state property and The Daily
Reflectors newsstands are property of the
newspaper.
The initial request for the removal of the
stands came from Parsons.
"I am the one who generated the
request, said Parsons, stating the stands
were being used to prop open the entrance
doors, to Fleming Hall and were being used
as trash cans.
"I have been here since January and they
the newsstands have never been filled
with papers said Parsons. "In terms of
safety, that is a big liability for us
Parsons said he did not request that the
stands be taken to the dump and he does
not know who did.
"It may have been a student worker or
somebody else up there in housing
Parsons said.
Fridley admitted that she made the
request to have the stands taken to the
dump.
"Wayne Parsons called and said the boxes
were in poor shape said Fridley. "I called in
the maintenance service request
It's true that we were not currently
placing papers in the rack in
question, but it is not in bad shape
said Amy Royster, editor of The East
Carolinian. "It is actually in better
shape than at least one of the other
racks that we currently use, so we will
continue to use it
Neither Fridley or Parsons have the
authority to remove the newsstands,
according to Ron Speier, dean of
students. The authority to place or
remove the stands can only be
granted by the Dean's office.
"No one asked me for
permission said Speier. "I was not
consulted on this matter
Although Fridley does not have the
authority to remove the stands, she stated
that "there are some things in such poor
shape, we have no choice. It always depends
on the situation
"We got called and we responded said
Fridley.

Witnesses confirm allegations
of ECU police misconduct
Chancellor receives letter
of concern from on-looker

VSSISTWI NEWS EDITOR
Pirate Club member Michael Radford
alleges he was mistreated by ECU Police
Officer William C. Peebles during the Oct.
11 game against Southern Mississippi.
"Whar I observed was rhe most egregious
behavior of a law enforcement officer I have
ever personally witnessed witness Jerry
Person wrote in a letter to the chancellor.
ECU Police commented soon after the
incident that their investigation had not
confirmed any misconduct on the part of
the officer.
However, several fans who witnessed the
incident have come forward to contradict
the Police Department's statement.
Mike Jackson, another Pirate Club
member who was seated several rows
behind Radford, told The East Carolinian
what he witnessed.
"What I saw was a police officer walk up
to Mr. Radford's son, or his son's friend, and
jerk a flag out of his hand Jackson said.
According to Jackson, the child's waving
of the flag may have been obscuring other
fans' view of the field.
"I had noticedthere was a kid with a
man down there waving a flag. After a while,
I noticed two officers down there. Then I
didn't see anything else till the officers
dragged him by me to the stairway said
Vemon Morrison, another fan who was able
to see most of the incident.
Jackson said it appeared Radford was
telling Peebles he would stop the child from
waving the flag and it was not necessary to
confiscate it, although he could not hear the
conversation himself.
"The cop became really angry that Mr.
Radford was questioning his authority, I
guess, and got out his mace, and said?and
I did hear this?'Do you want to go to jail?
Jackson said. "All this time, his little boy
was just crying his eyes out
Jackson said also that Peebles did
attempt to spray the mace in Radford's face,
but the mace appeared to malfunction and
sputter. He then said the officer seemed to
handcuff Radford and began to escort him
roughly to the top of the stairwell.
"That was all I physically saw, till I heard
oohs and aahs from the people, and I

Van Brown Runs for City Council
Hoi.i.y Harris
NEWS WRITER
Van Brown wants Greenville voters to give
him the chance to make poor planning and
bureaucracy a thing of the past.
The 50- year-old landscaping contractor
and former senior member of the
Community Appearance Committee is
running against Blanche Forbes and
incumbent Bob Ramey for the district four
seat on Greenville's city council.
"I feel it's time for new blood to be
passed into the castle said Brown. "I think
rhe key ingredient to myself is I'm down
where the rubber meets the road
Good skills of negotiation gained from
acting as a representative for local
neighborhoods during zoning and
commercialization processes and know ledge
of planning from owning his own business
are the two assets that Brown thinks make
him the best candidate.
"i think my main concern right now is
planning. I think Greenville is facing traffic
gridlock real soon; one of the the things I've
found working on a commission is they
spend a fortune studying things and they
never institute anything
Brown graduated from ECU in 1976
with a psychology degree and has since been
affiliated with the university as a fraternity
adviser and a leading participant in the
planning of purple and gold landscaping
along Highway 11 and other parts of the city.

Pantry pays $143 million for Lil' Champ Stores
SANFORD (AP) ? Pantry Inc. announced it has purchased Lil' Champ Food Stores Inc. for $143 million,
making it the third largest convenience store chain not owned by a gasoline company.
Pantry paid $133 million for Lil' Champ's stock and assumed $10 million of its debt.
Lil' Champ, based in Jacksonville, Fla was owned by Docks U.SA, a unit
of French retailer Auchan SA.
The buyout will create a chain of 880 stores with annual revenue of about
$970 million.
As part of the purchase, Sanford-based Pantry said it retired $51 million in debt, completed a $200 million
debt offering and arranged $75 million in bank loans.
ABC News will appeal Food Lion verdict
CHARLOTTE (AP) ? Even though the jury's punitive damage award in the Food Lion case has been slashed
by more than 90 percent, ABC News is
following through on its promise to appeal the verdict to a higher court.
The company filed the notice of appeal Monday to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Richmond, VA.
This summer, the trial judge reduced the punitive damages awarded in January to the North Carolina
supermarket chain from $5.5 million to $315,000. However, the smaller penalty was not enough to satisfy the
network.
Food Lion denied the accuracy of the 1992 PrimeTime Live" expose that
accused it of unsanitary practices, but the company did not sue the network for libel or slander. The grocer
instead proved the network lied to get jobs for undercover reporters who then wore spy cameras and hidden
recorders.
Neither side wanted to elaborate further on the appeal.

Township takes fight against large hog farms into its own hands
NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) An Antelope County township is trying to take control in the fight against large hog-
confinement units.
About 75 Brunswick residents have unanimously approved a new regulation
forcing anyone who wants to build a unit containing more than 200 sows to seek a permit from the township
board.
Called ' Regulation E the measure adopted at a meeting Saturday also
requires units to be at least one mile away from any residences and at least 2,500 feet away from the
boundary of a neighboring property, said Gordon Masat, the township's treasurer.
Also, the application of liquid manure to farm ground must be at least 1,000 feet away from neighboring
properties, said Masat.
All of these requirements an be waived if neighbors giv written permiWutn to the developer. I Masat.
Township residents also approved a different regulation in September that
banned the disposal of waste from large hog units within the township.
Under both rules, violators can be fined $20 per animal.
Vanderbilt students angered over ad to spend "Daddy's Money"
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Some Vanderbilt University students have asked a
department store to apologize for running an ad that proclaimed Live Your Life With Daddy's Money
The ad for McClures recently ran in The Vanderbilt Hustler, the campus
newspaper.
Students representing several organizations, including the Student
Government Association and the Panhellcnic Council, said the ad was
unprofessional and insulting.
McClures President Evalina Andrews said the ad does not reflect the views of the store. She said she was
out of town when it was published.

meetings with the Japanese emperor and prime minister to promote better
relations, China's Foreign Ministry announced Tuesday

He promises to make zoning,
development and improvement of
existing Greenville the Targets of
his platform, along with a
concentrated concern For traffic
and parking dilemmas.
"We've spent all this
money on how to give more tickets
and all we're doing is making the
public mad said Brown, adding
that he endorses the idea of ECO
and Greenville constructing a
parking deck in conjunction.
"They've turned it into a
financial boondock Brown said.
Other issues he plans to
:tddress include the addition and
expansion of road and the
improvement of downtown.
Brown asserted that the city
government has recognized the
need for a "rebirth" of the
downtown area, but is not really
doing anything productive about it.
He also plans to stand
behind the elimination of the three-
person occupancy law
"That was an obvious case
of discrimination; all occupancy
laws are based on the square
footage, not on an arbitrary number
like three obviously if a house has
5000 square feet, it should have a
larger occupancy Brown said.
The final component of
his campaign is what he sees as the
city council's lack of honesty and
non-partiality.
"1 call it government
profit sharing. When city
employees are allowed to benefit in
the spoils of the development of
the citythe general public is
automatically the loser. Apparently
my opponent Mr. Ramey and Mrs.
Fridley don't share this view says
Brown of Inez Ridley's supposed
involvement in contract favoritism
during the building of the
I niversity (ientre shopping center.
To Brown, his youth and
range of experience make him a
better choice than his opponents
for a university town councilman.
"It's sort of a been-there-
done-that type of deal, so 1 have a
greater insight compared to the
man off the streetmy opponents
wouldn't have any experience with

NGM Campus Ministry
organizes open prayer
ECU's Citation Appeals Board
an option for parking offenders
M K(.l KRITK BKXJ.fMIN
STAFF WRITER
Students passing through Wright
Plaza around noon each day have
witnessed and wondered about a
group of students who appear to be
joined in prayer.
Members of New Generation
Campus Ministries (NGM) and
students supporting their cause
gather in front of the student
stores each day for what they have
termed "Open Prayer
Edith Smith, who heads the
organization's Evangelism
Committee, said Open prayer is an
attempt to unify the campus and is
open to everyone regardless of race
or organizational membership.
"It just dawned on me one day
that even though we (NGM) say
we want to see fellow students
saved and that we want to win this
campus over to Christ, we were not
doing all we could do to make that
happen Smith said.
Smith added that although the
organization has not met any direct
opposition to their actions, some
students were apprehensive at first.
"It's not that they' didn't think it
was a good idea explained Smith.
"I just heard some people saying
they weren't sure if this type of
(expression 1 was for them, and
that's fine. 1 believe God uses
people in different ways, and
participating in Open Prayer is one
way 1 can further the ministry

Paying a fine is not the final option after receiving a
parking citation at ECU.
ECU's Citation Appeals Board is made up of a
variety of people, consisting of staff members from the
Staff Benefit Committee, Student Government
Association, School of Medicine, Faculty Senate and
students from Residence Hall Association and Student
Life.
Nancy Roberson, citation appeals coordinator, said,
"The board has people from all walks of life on campus.
The SGA members mainly live off campus, so they are
giving the commuter viewpoint. SGA may not have
knowledge of the parking up at the school of medicine;
therefore, we have someone representative of
knowledge of the school's parking and what the person
receiving the ticket has done wrong
Not just anyone can serve on the board; only
department heads can decide who will serve. For
example, the Director of Human Resources chooses for
the Staff Benefits Committee, just as the Presidents of
SGA and Residence Hall choose for their own groups.
Although, they haven't been given representatives
yet this year. The term of the board is from Oct. I until
Sept. 30 of the next year. One can serve multiple years
if they are reappointed by the president or department
head.
Once receiving a ticket, ten business days are given
to appeal the citation or pay it. Once a ticket is in
appeal, it goes into the computer and does not affect a
student's ability to register or dropadd.
"Something new that we're trying this year is to
have three separate appeal boards Roberson said.
"Last year we had two. You can appeal in writing or
appear in person to appeal
Roberson said the in-person appeal process is
simple. "To appeal in person is realty informal. Ybu arc
given ten minutes to present the case, and the board
may ask questions about the way they parked and their
knowledge of parking
The board is then given ample time to make a
decision, which is reported to Roberson. She sends a
letter out to let the appealant know the decision.
"If you appeal in writing, I will read the case to the
board and the name of the appealant is not given
Roberson added.
Roberson sends that decision as well to the student
after the board hears the case.
Roberson coordinates students and staff on board;
she does not decide on ticket appeals. "If they feel
they have really been treated unfairly, the only thing to
fall back on is the Civil Court System of the city of
Greenville said Roberson.
"We try not to let if get this far, Iwfll, talk to the
student and if I feel that they were mistreated by the
board, then I will talk to the board arid the. board may
reduce the fine. I can't just void it" she said. "The
process is not very quick. If students complain about
the length of time, they have to understand that it is a
long-drawn out process and we try to do the best we
can

Student interests come first for first-term SGA
officials. Newly- elected Secretary Leslie Pulley and
Treasurer Lisa Smith plan to make ECU a more
convenient and closer knit environment for all
students.
Parking lot problems and on-line registration were
the two main platforms Pulley ran on last Spring.
These goals arc still in Pulley's sights for her upcoming
term. She claims that ECU parking has always' been a
battle, and during her term she promises to make as
much progress as she can.
Pulley's main duties as secretary include keeping
up with the minutes of all SGA meetings and holding
regular office hours. Each week she prints up the
previous meetings minutes to give out to all members
of student legislature.
Pulley's office hours are Mondays from 3:00 to 4:00
and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 to 1:00.
During these office hours Pulley encourages students
to come by and ask questions or make suggestions for
the SGA. For students who wish to be more involved,
she challenges students to come to SGA meetings on
Mondays at 5:00 in Vlendenhail Student Center,
Room 221.
Here students can see first hand what the SGA is
doing for them. By getting involved they make a
difference, and a chance to make a difference was
Pulley's incentive for becoming secretary.
"I wanted to be helpful and get involved says
Pulley "I wanted to fix things and not just sit around.
but get involved
In addition to holding office as secretary, Pulley sits
on the Fine Arts Committee and serves as the co-
chairperson for the Screenings Committee.
Treasurer Lisa Smith tries to bring ECU together
through changes in bus routes and proper balanced
funding to all student organizations. By using her
power as Transit Board chairperson, Smith has added
several new bus stops to the ECU bus schedule.
Smith also serves as chair for the Appropriations
Committee, which is currently reviewing each case
individually to insure that an equal balance of funds
flows into all student organizations. Smith is already
working on achieving these goals, as well as new ones
involving registration.
"Each semester there are countless numbers of
classes such as Health 1000 that don't list the
professors name Smith said. "This can be a problem
for students who might take better essay tests than
multiple choice tests. They don't know which to
choose
Smith's main job as treasurer is to approve personal
loans and emergency loans to students, ranging from
$50 to $150 depending on urgency andiettgibiriry. She
also can question the approval of funds for student
organizations, made by the Appropriations
Committee.
In addition to all of these obligations. Smith is the
Vice President of Chi Omega sorority and 3n
accounting major. Smith's interests in accounting are
what brought her into the position as SGA treasurer
She hopes work to as an auditor: for government
fund accounting. According to Smith, working as an
SGA. treasurer, is, someof?, the best government
accounting experience-shecan get.

We don't mean to sound like a broken record and we don't want to sound like your mothec We
simply want everyone to have a safe Halloween. By following a few simple rules, it's possible to
be around next. Halloween.
Whether this is your first Halloween or even if you're a veteran, it's common knowledge that
Halloween is an extremely huge event in Greenville. Downtown is going to be packed with
people anxious to celebrate.
Don't be dumb and go anywhere alone; there are going to people from all over this weekend
and there is no way for the police to be aware of everything that is going on. Many times the
day after Halloween people find themselves waking up in strange places ? like jail or on the
floor of a stranger's house ? or maybe they nevet find themselves again. Pay attention to your
surroundings because it's easy to get swept away in a crowd ? especially in a large crowd like
the one expected this weekend.
If you are going to drink, drink responsibly. We know you have heard that many times before,
but we cannot even begin to tell you how important it is to be careful. If you are drunk, are you
going to have control of your body, are you going to be able to make responsible decisions? More
than likely not.
We're not saying don't have fun; we just want Halloween to be safe and fun for everyone.
Make sure that if you live in a dorm you know the rules for Halloween because they do change
for the event. Don't take candy ? or anything else ? from strangers.
Also, you should know that just because it is Halloween doesn't mean that the laws have
changed. Remember that the police officers want you and everyone else downtown to have a
safe Halloween. Don't break the law and don't be afraid to seek their help if you need it.
Be careful and responsible and know the laws. We hope that by doing that, you'll be around
for Halloween next year.

African-American women: Feel self-pride
African-American women
at ECU should feel proud of
themselves as well. They must
challenge any system which
hinders their social progress
and that of their brothers.
academic excellence.
On Saturday, Oct. 25, about two
million women gathered in
Philadelphia, "city of brotherly
love in a somewhat
unprecedented display of unity.
The Million Woman March was a
grass-roots endeavor designed to
shed light on political, economic,
and social woes facing millions of
African-American women around
this country. Organized by Phile
Chionesu, a Philadelphia business
owner, and co-chairwoman Asia
Coney, the march was successful.
Luminaries Winnie Mandela
survivor of Apartheid of South
Africa) and Congresswoman Maxine
Waters (D-California) delivered
"fire and fury" speeches to raise
consciousness and awareness about
the plight of African-American
women in America.
Mandela's statement, "We have a
shared destiny, a shared
responsibility, to save the world
from those who attempt to destroy
it echoed the underlying purpose
of the march. African-American
women have power that, if used
appropriately and wisely, could
move mountains of hopelessness
and despair and build optimism and
sisterly love and hence, a more
prosperous future for African-
American women. Additionally,
Waters' remarks, "After today, we
will never be the same. America,
please be placed on notice: We
know who we arc. We know what
kind of power we have. We will act
on that power helped galvanize
and make the women present feel
proud of themselves and their rich
African heritage.
African-American women at
ECU should feel proud of
themselves as well. They must
challenge any system which hinders
their social progress and that of their
brothers. It's imperative that such
women work conscientiously to
strive towards achieving academic
excellence.
Clee Dozier, a sixth-grade
science teacher, made the following
impressive comments indelibly
etched in many memories: "When 1
get there, I want to see a sea of
black women who are united . .
.because we are fighting the same
issues that are in every city, state,
and hamlet of the world Teen
pregnancies, coping with single-
parent households, building
stronger families, economicsalary
disparities, AIDS, and the "crack
explosion" allegedly master-minded
by the CIA during Ronald Reagan's
presidency were core issues
discussed at the march. African-
American women and others on the
ECU campus and elsewhere should
debate these nagging concerns and
suggest solutions. Everyone in the
community should be the "burden
bearer" of these social problems
that tend to devastate too many
neighborhoods, create gloom and
doom, and threaten our fragile
democracy.
Chionesu was right when she
said, "Black women have taken care
of everyone else since the time
we've been in this country We've
taken care of white women, white
men, white children . . .our own
men, our own children. And now
it's time that we take care of
ourselves In any event, women
from various walks of life attended
the march to quench their thirst for
insight and the hard facts about
their plight in America. They were
encouraged and motivated to take
the message of hope and "can-do"
optimism to their communities and
demand meaningful, appreciable
change.

Use space for major concerns
Getting The East Carolinian before
my first class starts has become
embedded into my Tuesday
Thursday morning routine for the
last four years now. Once I am in
class, 1 glance over the paper then
pass it to a friend. In the last several
months, while I have read over the
paper, I have wondered if TEC has
run out of fresh ideas to write about.
For instance, the Tuesday, Oct.
21 article entitled "Clockwise the
article answered the question why
all the clocks in the General
Classroom Building are incorrect.
When it was first brought to our
attention in the Letter to the Editor
page a couple of papers ago, it was a
funny thing to think about. But for
TEC to take a majority of the front
page to explain the answer was
ridiculous. A plain and simple
solution is to learn to carry a watch
whenever you arc on campus.
Don't get me wrong; I am not
dogging the author of the article. I
just think that it was not a major
concern to the people at ECU.
There is plenty of other important
newsworthy information that could
be and should be addressed.

Honor Code needs higher visibility
In a system where obscure
legalese hidden in the back of a
book tliat only some people
have access to determines the
discipline of students and the
discipliners have no
accountability, there s
something shady going on.
When was the last time some
administrator called you and asked
how you liked that professor with
tenure who was hired to fill some
quota and can't teach to save his
life? Or whether or not you find
registration easy. Do you get the
classes you want? Do you feel books
are too pricey?
I hate to propose this idea, but it
has occurred to me that perhaps the
administration just doesn't care
about us students. I mean, they
don't have to care- we hold no
economic power over them in spite
of the fact that we are their
livelihood. We don't vote for them;
it's like we don't exist, because, if
you pay attention, you'll notice that
when they do know what we feel,
they listen nicely and then do
whatever they were planning in the
first place.
Truth is, students are a real
bother to administrators, who are
basically paper-pushers, and paper-
pushers don't like real people, who
don't fit in to their statistics and
rules and programs. Real people are
messy and have these annoying
things called lives which get in the
way of the process. To
administrators, procedure is the
goal of procedure. If administrators
could operate the university
without the bother of students,
they would.
Take this case as an example.
Two home games ago, Meg
Carmichael was happily tailgating,
drinking a punch that her mother
had invented, gets a ticket for
drinking on the tailgating field,
because it is illegal to drink any
form of alcoholic beverage on the
aforementioned field. Carmichael
talks to the assistant dean of
students, and pleads her case by
saying that if she'd known it was
illegal, she wouldn't have done it.
After all, her mom invented the
beverage; it's not going to be the
sort of thing that intoxicates you.
The assistant dean replies that
ignorance of the law is no excuse
and Carmichael should have known-
after all, it's part of the Honor Code
in The Clue Book.
The Clue Book does contain the
Honor Code ? I looked. Looking
was not too easy though- copies of
the Clue Book were hard to find and
I resorted to an outdated copy I
discovered in someone else's room.
The Honor Code is the tiny print in
the back, just like a shady contract.
(There isn't, by the way, any clear
way outlined in the Honor Code for
us to discipline their bad behavior.)
So what does the Clue Book say?
Well, nothing, directly. There's a
whole section of Honor Code
(Article V) concerning alcohol and
how not to drink it, but it never says
directly that it's illegal to drink on
the tailgating field. In fact, it
mentions that "only beer and
unfortified wines shall be served"
can be served at "registered student
organizations, departmental or
school or college organizations
That sounds like you can drink on
the tailgating field. But, there's
another bit (Article V, section B)
which restricts alcoholic
consumption to Greenville law and
its illegal according to Greenville
Ordinance No. 358 and 360 to drink
on publicly owned property which
is what this University is.
So Carmichael is in trouble for
violating the Honor Code, which
seems to be more important than
actual honor to the administration.
Webster tells me that honor is
"adherence to principles considered
right, integrity Carmichael says
she would have adhered to those
principles, had she known of them.
Which brings me to "code which I
suppose is meant to mean the same
as Webster's definition 1: "a
systemized body of laws" but which
seems more like definition 4: "a
system of symbols for secret
writing
In a system where obscure
legalese hidden in the back of a
book that only some people have
access to determines the discipline
of students and the discipliners
have no accountability, there's
something shady going on. This
kind of passive communication does
not serve to keep students from
breaking the law or the Honor
Code. Why doesn't the university do
something to let every student
know that all alcoholic beverages on
that field are illegal? How hard
would it be to post a sign at the
field? Too hard I guess, or maybe it
would ruin their fun.
When the spirit of the law (don't
get drunk and harm other people) is
less important than following the
letter of the law (which took me a
good two hours to decipher), there
can be no honor, Honor Code or no.
LETTER
to the Editor
Ridley's served her term; time for change
I am writing in response to the
recent coverage of the city district
three race between Inez Fridley and
Steve McLawhorn.
Steve McLawhorn seems to be a
very good choice for the job because
of his previous service to his
neighborhood as president of
a homeowner association,
neighborhood quality, crime and
parking, are very well-chosen and
reflect the needs and desires of
other members of his district like
me.
As for Ms. Fridley, I don't
understand why someone would
want to stay on the council for so
very long. If there were any changes
wanted to make or any laws she
wanted to write, there has been
more than ample time.
Most of the people I have spoken
with feel that Inez Fridley has a
conflict of interest by serving on the
council and working for the upper
levels of the ECU administration.
Someone like Steve McLawhorn has
no conflict of interest. 1 feel that we
can trust Steve to represent the
interests of the people who live in
and around the university first
foremost.
I believe that it is clearly time for
progressive and positive change in
city district three and I hope that
your readers will join me by
supporting Steve McLawhorn on
Nov. 4.

Do you know the law
concerning alcohol
consumption on the
fieldat tailgating
parties?
No, I don't knm the law. I don't think they are doing a
good'job communicating it to people. I have seen police
officers ticketing under age drinkers at the taunting
fit-Id, but if uo one is allowed to drink regatrlless of age
then they should just ticket anyone they see drinking.
Kristi Ferguson

Yes, I think that I do. I believe that the no alcohol
rule during tailgating is not strictly enforced. Even if
people do have alcohol, what are they hurting?
I think the only place it should be banned is
p in the stadium.

Some devilish
suggestions for
Halloween music
ANDY TURNER
LIFESTYLE EDITOR
I will make it through this
Halloween without listening to the
"Monster Mash Promise yourself.
Try something different.
Halloween music has much more
to offer Well, "Monster Mush" is
tradition, you say. In this case (and
in many cases), tradition is just a
way of passing off things that are as
imaginative as Jim Carrey and
Adam Sandier in an all-night
poocing contest.
Halloween songs should be fun,
dark, scary (I'm talking Marian
Carey scary), evil, murderous (I'm
talking Bili ClintonVlnce roster
murderous), devilish, loud, quiet
and, most of all, really weird. There
are a lot of songs that have some or
all of these qualities, but they
never really get their due as
Halloween music. So, I will offer a
few listening suggestions for the.
forthcoming hell night. My
suggestions will be followed with
smart-ass and irrcfevant comments.
Thank you.
"Something's Wrong With You
Screamin' lay Hawkins: The
originator of "i Put A Spell on You"
is tailor-made for Halloween. He
used to open up his shows by
coming out of a coffin. This old R
& B tune is truly bizarre.
Afterwards, you'll wanna order up a
big plate of "baked, barbecue
gorilla ribs
"Chainsaw The Romanes: The
Ramones make it sound like
getting sliced and diced by the
maniacs from The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre is a lot of fun. Lcatherface
and leather jackets make a great
team.
Zf She Weird" Pixies: "Is she
weirdIs she whiteIs she promised
to the night?" Is Frank Black ever
going to be as good as he was with
the Pixies?
"Horn to Maximize Your Kilt
Count The Supersucters: Those
Supersucker boys are always ready
with useful information. They
could also probably tell how to
nLximizc your drug intake from
the looks of 'urn.
"Raving Heh" RUN-DMC: Now
that they ve given up their sinful
ways, RUN-DMC is only raising
heck. But, hell, check it out
anyway.
"Dark Night Blasters: This song
is included on the From Dusk to
Dam soundtrack. It's even scarier
than Quentin Trantino's acting
abilities.
"Choppin' Mall Honeymoon
Killers: Jon Spencer's little honey,
Cristina, plavs the geetar on this
one. The perfect Halloween band
name.
"I Kill Children Dead Kennedy's:
"God told me to skin you alive
growls proto-punk Jello Biafra.
This song is about as twisted as
they come. Biafra would make a
good serial killer, already has his
excuse down pat.
"Curtains For My Baby The
Chrome Cranks: For six minutes
plus, Peter Aaron whispers and
gasps about butchering his baby,
while the Cranks spew out eerie
background music. When he starts
talking about "burning your
brains you'll have to make a
mental note: Don't date
psychopaths or merrlbers of The
Chrome Cranks.
"Flying Saucer Rock-n-RoU Billy
RileyandHis Little Green Men: All the
energy, abandon and goofiness of
early rockabilly is captured in this
song. Billy Riley was the king of the
hillbilly punks. This song was
definitely from a different planet.
7 Was a Teenage Zombie The
Fleshtones: Perfectly silly song from a
perfectly silly movie. That means
its good and stuff.
7 Was a Teenage Werewolf The
Cramps: Like Screamin' Jay, The
Cramps were made for Halloween.
Just about any of their songs would
fit the Halloween spirit (as long as
you arc a bikini girl with a machine
gun).
"I'm Gonna Murder My Baby Pat
Harr. Hare was a label mate of Billy
Rilcy's on Sun Records. He really
did murder his baby and died in
prison for it. If Slayer was from
Memphis, they'd sound like this.

An American Cafe, a play about life in
eastern North Carolina comes to the
ECU campus Nov. 7
Miccaii Smith
MAKE WHITER
No matter what your plans are for
the month of November, take time
out on Nov. 7 to see An American
Cafe, an original play written,
produced and directed with
Eastern North Carolina as its
focus.
Yes, the show is free and yes,
you may even find it relevant to
your life, especially if you're a
North Carolina resident. Although
the play is about ways in which
dramatically different people
relate to each other, the characters
all have their experiences in North
Carolina as common ground.
The plot unfolds in a coffee
shop, where a young Black
businesswoman named Lavinia. a
Mexican immigrant named Carlos,
a young Jewish woman and several
other racially diverse characters
meet and discuss their
experiences and individual ideas.
The idea for the play originated
in May of 1996, when a Pitt
County community theatre
organization called People-Act
lxgan a project which would bring
high school students. Pitt County
residents and new U.S.
immigrants together in
conversation groups. "We got
people who didn't know each
other, of different races and
backgrounds, to talk to each
other recalled Janice Periquet,
managing director of PeopleAct.
These groups discussed
literature from American writers of
different races and backgrounds.
They shared personal insights into
life with each other. The
transcripts from these discussions
were used by writers Todd Lovitt,
Deborah Morrison, Janice
Periquet, Carl Campbell and Gay
Wilentz to form the script for An
Ameruan Cafe.
Lovitz used his computer
expertise to design multimedia
aspects for the production,
incorporating hypermedia and
video aspects into the play. The
actors, whom Morrison described
as "a tightknit communitywho
have a lot to say about what
America could be in its ideal
state personalized the script
with improvisation and have tried
to present the many different
attitudes and individuals of Pitt
County with accuracy.
Sponsors of the ongoing
PeopleAct project, which will
hopefully produce something
entirely new next year, include the
North Carolina Humanities
Council, Perkins Trust, ECU and
the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation.
ECU's involvement with this
production is another good reason
to see this play.
"PeopleAct and the ECU
multicultural literature program
are partners in this project said
Wilentz, ECU Project Director.

Seven Years lacks epic magic
Get ready for a
magic carpet rave
Pitt matures with
Seven Yean in Tibet
Di.k Williamson
SBMOR WRITER
7 OUT OF TO
No matter what you think of Brad
Pitt as a person or actor, you have to
admire his determination to not just
be another Hollywood poster boy.
When audiences first took notice of
him in Thelma & Louise, Pitt was
destined to be a sex symbol,
whether he liked it or not. How
could a man with such godly good
looks, complete with silky blonde
hair and icy blue eyes, not be a sex
symbol. Pitt was young, beautiful
and popular. It didn't matter if he
could act or not: he was everything
Hollywood wanted in an superstar.
Pitt, however, had other plans. In
an effort to mature as an actor and
not an icon of glamour, he sought
roles that weren't tailor-made with
him in mind. Within the last few
years, Pitt has surprised the critics
and his fans by portraying such
eclectic characters as a reckless and
obsessed police detective in rhe
horrifying Seven, a lazy-eyed nut case
in Terry Gilliam's psychologically
thrilling 12 Monkeys, and an IRA
terrorist with a conscious in the
flawed but intriguing The Devils
Own.
Pitt's latest venture clearly
illustrates his desire to be taken
seriously as an actor. Seven Years in
Tibet is not onlv a somewhat riskv

role for one of Hollywood's biggest
stars to take on, but it is also a risk
for Hollywood in general.
Hollywood, being what it is, likes
formulas that don't require much
thought or soul searching. Making
any film too intelligent can be
financial suicide.
Based on Heinrich Harrer's real-
life memoirs, Seven Years in Tibet
does require some effort on the
audience's part. Not only does the
film revolve around a man's search
for his own personal identity, it is
also set in a religious and political
culture that few Americans truly
understand.
The overriding plot is formulaic
enough, though. Harrer (Pitt) is an
arrogant, self-obsessed Austrian
mountaineer who joins Germany in
its quest to conquer one of the
highest peaks in the Himalayas. As
fate would have it, the conquest is
interrupted by an avalanche and,
worse yet, World War II. Inevitably,
Harrer finds himself a prisoner of
war, along with fellow German
mountaineer Peter Aufschnaiter
(played by the always wonderful
David Thewlis).
Eventually, Harrer and
Aufschnaiter escape and brave the
ruthless wilderness, hoping to find
freedom at the end of their journey.
Along the way, the two men, despite
their differences, become friends.
The two find salvation from
hunger and death when they sneak
into the Tibetan city of Lhasa, a
place forbidden to all foreigners.
Luckily, the city's leaders decide to
welcome their foreign strangers. It
is here that the two men begin to
discover their true selves. While
Aufschnaiter discovers peace
through a woman with whom he
develops a romantic relationship,
Harrer discovers peach through an
unusual yet intimate relationship
with Tibet's young spiritual guru,
the Dull Lama himself.
Through their mutual
interactions, the Dali Lama learns
about the world outside Tibet and
Harrer learns the power and peace

Halloween rave
SHANNON MEHK
Sllh'f WHITER
The youth culture has always found
a sense of freedom in partying.
In the sixties, there was
Woodstock. In modem times, there
are the all night parties known as
raves.
A rave, by definition, is to
declaim wildly; or to utter in
madness or frenzy. By modern
standards a rave is a social event. It
is an all night excursion. In most
cases it is a dance party held in a
warehouse, night club or open field.
It is a marvel of youth culture,
where a sense of awareness and
community comes alive through the
response of music, dance and a
positive mood.
On Halloween night, at 3 a.m a
rave will be brought to the
downtown scene in ECU. The goal
of the promoters behind the rave
was to completely transform the
Fire House Tavern. There will be 70
DJs coming from all over North
Carolina to play their electric dance
music known as techno.
The birth of raves are said to
have been clandestine parties
sprouting around the English
countryside in the late eighties.
Raves have matured since then and
are occurring in every country in the
world.
People that have gone to raves
say that it is much more than just a
party; it is an experience. Ravers
often talk about The PLUR (peace,
love, and unity) and The Vibe, or
the subjective sense and quality of
the rave.
"At a rave, the DJ is a shaman, a

priest, a channel of energy-they
control the psyhic voyages of
dancers A part of their concept of
raves is built on sensory overload
said raver, Brian Behlendorf.
The purpose of the music played
at raves is to heighten the effect.
Techno that is played has the
freedom of lyrics. It is a sound that
takes a person to different levels.
The DJ weaves something unusual;
hypnotic. Many ravers bring glow
sticks and other visual aids to
heighten the effect.
Raves are seen by many ravers as
refuge from society's repugnant
sides.
In fact, there are even some
people so committed to the PLUR
and the rave scene that they believe
raves are the vehicles of social
change. The positive effects of
raving spreads into the peoplewhose
lives are involved and beyond.
Sean Nemeth, one of the
organizers behind the Firehouse
Rave, said, "A diverse crowd comes
together for one night. When you go
to a rave and see people different
from you come together in one
mind, it is a borderline religious
experience

Both I larrer and the Dali Lami
grow as friends and leaders within
their peaceful community until the
Chinese government decides Tibet
must be ruled under its communist
power, even if it means that Tibet
must be overtaken with military
force.
Director Jean-Jacques Annaud
works hard to make his film an epic.
something layered with substance
and meaning, and he half-way
succeeds. The film feels large,
encompassing a narrative that lasts
nearly a decade and detailing the
development of several key
characters over that time. Abo,
nnaud and scriptwriter Becky
Johnston (who shows much more
talent for story here than she did
with The Prince i Ttdes) provide a
nice cultural and political context
for those who are uneducated in
I ibetan history,
But the don't delve too deeply.
Half the Film is taken up with the
journe to 'libel, the other half
focuses on llarrer's relationship
with the Dali Lama. While the film
deals with the complex cultural and
political issues of Tibet in an
admirable manner, those more
familiar with the situations may
find it too simplistic.
'Therein lies the film's main
problem. Admittedly, it is an
enjoyable, beautifully
photographed and expertly acted
film, but Annaud's vision doesn't
really challenge or overpower its
audience. It does demand
attention, but it doesn't leave one
with the sense of awe and wonder
one would expect. Some essential
ingredient is missing, some
timeless sense of mysticism or
magic that prevents Annaud s vision
from qualifying as a true epic like
Ih Last T.mperor, just like Annaud's
critically acclaimed film. The Lover,
was in reality a soft-core porn film
disguising itself as an art film, Seven
Years m Tiltet is a mainstream studio
film disguising itself as a modern-
day epic.
But that shouldn't bother all
those lusting Pitt fans out there
Pitt not only glistens with physical
beauty once again, but he also
carries his own as a mature actor.
His performance is fueled with
such energy and determination thai
it's clear how much this film meant
to him.
I lothwood as a whole seems to
care about Tibet now. Martin
Scorsese has been working on his
own Dali Lama film, and Richard
Gere (who has been speaking out
for Tibet for vears) will soon release
a film dealing with the political
turmoil in that region. It's the
biggest trend since alien invasions.
If Tibet is the next big trend in
movies, then Seven Years in 'Tibet
isn't a bad wav to start it.

After the season the men s team hoped to
build on their impressive campaign while
the women looked to put their frustrating
season behind them.
This summer, senior Mike Marini sent a

letter he wrote that this season would be

The East Carolina women's cross
country team heads into the CAA
Championships with hopes of defeating the
Seahawks of UNC-Wilmington and the
ghosts of 1996.
At last year's meet the women's team
finished a disappointing seventh place. The
low finish was a fitting end to a frustrating
season.
"Last year we had a really bad season
said Head Coach "Choo" Justice. "Things
just fell apart. It's almost like the football
team this year, the way the wheels have just
come off
The Pirates began the 1997 season bent
on improving and not repeating the
collapse of the year before.
"Early in the season we weren't running
that well but the girls' attitudes were all
really good and they trained really hard,
which was different from last year where
attitudes and training habits were not
well Justice said. "I kept saying we're
going to be OK if we just keep at it
like we've been doing.
"As the season has come along, the
girls' times have started to drop.
They're getting better every week
Justice said. "We're improving, but
we're still a step behind some of the
teams that we want to beat
This season's tough schedule gave
the Pirates a chance to gauge their
improvement against some of the top
teams in the country,
"We took a beating at times as
opposed to going and running against
some really easy teams and winning,
but we felt that running against
tough teams would pay off in the long
run Justice said.
Earlier this month, the team
finished eighth at the North Carolina
State Championship Meet. The
team was beaten by rival UNCW
"We came back from the meet and
the girls said that when we go to
conference we just go for broke and
fay ir on rhe line Justice said. "Our
goal is to finish higher than
Wilmington
"In some ways the fact that they
beat us takes a little bit of pressure
off us, because now they're expected
to beat us. They're the hunted and
we're the hunters Justice said.
With his team focused on
overcoming its opponents and the
disappointments of its recent past,
Justice knows his team is well-suited
?fop the challenge ahead.
"They're a pretty close-knit
group, and' 1 think when they make
up their mind to do something, they
can get it done Justice said. "So,

Remaining Teams
"I think William and Mary's going
to win it outright. In the five
years I've been coaching, they are
as strong as the've ever been.
Thier depth is unbelievable
"James Madison should finish
second because they're about as
strong as they've ever been
"If James Madison gambles a
little too much, if they go out too
fast, then ECU may sneek up on
them and we could be fighting
for second position
"I believe that Virginia
Commonwealth, UNCW and
George Mason are all better
teams now than at last year's
conference championship

very legitimate"

hopefully their determination will carry
them through to it
Last year's men's cross country team
was among the best in school history.
They gained respect for the program by
finishing third at the 1996 CAA
Championships. This year's squad
includes many of the main contributors
from last year and some talented
freshmen. Their goal i? to improve on last
year's performance and take cross country
to the next level.
Hampered by injuries, the Pirates had a
slow stan to their 1997 season.
"Until (the State Championships
there hasn't been a week that we've all
been completely healthy or haven't had a
nagging injury or some crazy fluke injury
said Assistant Coach Mike Ford. "Out of
16 guvs, 14 have had something kooky go
en.
The season began looking promising at
the important William and Mary
Invitational in late September. In addition
to being the first chance CAA rivals get to
race against each other, it is also the same
course on which the CAA Championships
will be held this weekend.
"Of the first five meets we ran, William
and Mary was the only meet that we really
geared up for Ford said. "It was the only
meet that we really performed solidly with
the least amount of injuries
The success continued at the North
Carolina State Championships. Their fifth
place finish was not indicative of their
strong showing.
"We went out and ran with the big
dogs. We got right up there and ran solidly
behind the top ten leaders. At the mile
mark we had four guys in the top twenty
runners. That's very bold Ford said.
In addition to the team finally being
healthy, another reason for the team's
stronger showings has been their strategy
to combat their lack of depth. In cross
country your score is based on your team's
five fastest times.
"Our top four guys' goal is to stay
within 14 or 15 seconds of each other. Our
fifth guy is going to be a team effort of our
next six guys Ford said. "Our strategy is
"The best two teams in the
conference are James Madison
and William and Mary
"We're battling Wilmington and
Mason for the 3rd, 4th and 5th
spots
"I think we're strong enough
that we're strong enough that
we're ahead of the other 4 teams
in the conference
to go out like gangbusters, and whoever is
left standing out of those six, we need one
to pop through and have a good race
"It's not important for everybody to get
out there and run a great race, but it is
more important for everybody to gamble
and try and go out as fast as they've ever
gone out Rrd said.
The team hopes their recent success
continues at this weekend's CAA
championships. Entering the meet, the
Pirates know they are a very dangerous
team.
"Put us in as the dark horse said
Marini. "We've all worked very hard and
this team has jelled at just the right time.
This is what we trained for Marini said.
"We would just like to do better than
last year. I think we're better this year
said junior Jamie Mance. "We won't
accept anything less then third. We'd love
to shoot for the top teams. We'd love to
shoot for William and Mary and JMU
"I think we need to shoot for second
Ford said. "If we race that way, only good
things are going to happen

ECU is vying for their second conference
win this Saturday against Louisville. The
Pirates are coming off a 32-10 victory over
Memphis last week.
PHOTO BY CLAY BUCK
When ECU was in the process of
becoming a member of
Conference USA, it was Louisville
who was trying to keep them out.
? Now this Saturday, for rhe first
time since 1967, the two teams
will meet
ECU is coming off their first
conference win, and are looking for
their third win of the season, while
Louisville is coming off a loss to
Houston.
Louisville, (1-7, 0-3) hosts
ECU (2-5,1-2) on Saturday for the
3 p.m. kickoff. The Cardinals are
currently in last place in the
conference, while ECU sits in'fifth
place. ECU leads the overall
series, 2-1.
Coach Steve Logan said he
hasn't and won't address the
players about the off-the-field
conflicts with Louisville earlier in
the year.
"I'm not going to talk to them
about it Logan said. "The way
we've kind of come through these
four or five weeks is keeping our
focus internal
One aspect of ECU's game
they will need to focus on is the
running game. Not one time this
season has ECU netted over 100
yards on the ground in a single
game.
"We've got to have a 150-yard
rushing day Logan said. "If we do
it, I think a lot of things will fall
back into focus for us
The much-anticipated return
of Scott Hariey this year has
been a disappointment, due to
an ankle injury he suffered at
West Virginia and a young,
inexperienced offensive line.
Hariey has 230 yards this year,
compared to 993 yards after
seven games last year.
Red-shirt freshman Jamie
Wilson has stepped in and
produced as rhe team's second
lea'der rusher. Wilson has gained
199 yards on the ground with
three touchdowns and said he is
glad the coaches are confident
in his ability.
"I'm pleased I'm getting a lot
more playing time this year
Wilson said. "It feels good to
know thev have confidence in
me
ECU quarterback Dan
Gonzalez said this team is used to
running the ball in the past and
needs to get the ground game
going to balance themselves out.
"We vc been accustomed to
running the football around here
the last few years Gonzalez said.
"That's something we need to get
going again to make us a balanced
offense
In the air, Gonzalez has 1,415
yards with six touchdowns and six
interceptions.
Defensively, the Pirates will
have to ward off a Louisville team
that loves to throw the bail,
?especially out of the shotgun
' formation. Quarterback Chris
Redman has thrown for 2,349

The ECU men's soccer team is
drying off from their 3-1 loss
Sunday against the Panthers from
High Point. ECU's record fell to 5-
10 and 1-4 in the Conference.
The Pirates only goal of the
game came from the head of junior
forward Wyatt Panos as he headed
in a pass from Junior Jon Smiley at
the 59:48 minute mark in the
second half. The Pirates went into
the game expecting an easy
victory, but in rainy conditions like
Sunday anything can happen.
"At this point we really can't
afford to look past anyone or
expect any easy wins Panos said.
In their last few outings the
Pirates have been having trouble
getting themselves into the "W"
column.
"In the beginning of the season
we were playing well and were
very enthusiastic until about a
quarter of the way through the
season Panos said. "With the
losses we've had, moral has really
fallen, we really haven't played
well since our win against
Campbell. Many of the guys seem
like there just trying to get
through this season and arc already
looking forward to next season
Head Coach Will Wiberg
credits the season to young team,
playing more experienced
opponents.
"We're a very young team who
have been losing to teams with
much more experience, our three
remaining conference games are
against teams ranked in the top 25
in the nation Wiberg said.
"Losing to teams with more
experience is part of the growing
process, a team of 22 freshmen and
sophomores takes time
The Pirates already are
foreseeing a successful future with
only one starter graduating from
the team after this season.
"We're only losing one senior
starter this season (Jay Davis) who
has been there for us a lot Panos
said.
Unless the Pirates win one of
their three remaining conference
games, they will enter the
tournament in eighth place, and
most likely will play the nationally-
ranked Eagles of American
University. The Pirates' scoring
leaders this season are Panos, with
nine goals, and Scott Pokorney,
who has scored seven goals.
Michelle Martin
achieves success in
all that she does
SB FC0TIAU WE 12
JF.RKMY ANDKRSON
STAFF WRITF.R
For most student-athletes,
balancing time between practice,
games and schoolwork is a tough
task. Michelle Martin, a
sophomore from Lynchburg, V&
seems to have found the perfect
combination.
Martin, who plays tennis under
the direction of coach Bill Moore,
plans to major in
exercise physiology
here at ECU. She
currently has a 4.0
GPAand hopes to get
into medical school.
"Michelle is an
overachiever Moore
said. "Everything she
does, she docs welt
Martin is no
stranger to success.
She started playing tennis almost a
decade ago.
"I started playing tennis when 1
was about ten. I had a really good
coach and he motivated me
Martin said.
xrtin remains motivated here
at ECU. According to first year
assistant coach Bryan Jackson,
Martin has matured far beyond her
years.
"Michelle wants to get better
Jackson said. "She has the
maturity of a 25-year-old. We wish
we had six or eight more just like
her
Martin s hard work is starting to
pay off. After a promising fall
season, Moore is looking for good
things out of Martin this spring.
"She (Martin) is playing at a
very high level. Her only fault may
be sometimes she tries too hard.
She will definitely be in the top
half of the lineup this spring
Moore said.
Martin still says she has a few
aspects of her game
she needs to improve
on.
"I need to work on my
volleys and ground
strokes in practice
Martin said. "I'm also
working on being
aggressive and coming
to the net
Martin said the one
thing she works
hardest on, however; is the mental
aspect of the game.
"I have a fighting mentality. I
always fight back Martin said.
With that attitude and work
ethic, Martin will be successful on
and off the court.
"Michelle is an
overachiever

QBs thrive in state
of Washington
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) ? Brock
Huard and Ryan Leaf may not sec
eye to eye about a lot of things, but
at least they see eye to eye.
Both quarterbacks are 6-foot-5
passing machines who have led
Washington and Washington State
into the Top 10.
Huard, of Washington, is the
nation's No. 2-rated passer. Leaf,
of Washington State, is rated No.
4.
They've never met, except on
the football field, where Huard
passed Washington to an overtime
victory in last year's Apple Cup in
Pullman.
This season the two teams arc
on a Nov. 22 collision course that
could decide which goes to the
Rose Bowl. It would be the first
Apple Cup since 1981 that had a
Rose Bowl berth hanging in the
balance.
Leaf, an intense competitor
from Great Rills, Mont wasn't
much interested in discussing his
cross-state rival.
"I don't want to meet him
Leaf said Saturday
He noted that Huard, from
Puyallup, Wash plays for the
higher-profile Huskies, located in
the media-rich Seattle market.
The Cougars lie across the
Cascade Range in tiny Pullman.
Investigations show
Harrick violated
rules at UCLA
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Pacific-
10 Conference and NCAA
investigations show Jim Harrick,
now coaching Rhode Island,
committed multiple NCAA rules
violations during the late stages of
his eight-year tenure as UCLA
basketball coach.
The violations include
Harrick's lying to UCLA
administrators, improper
telephone calls to recruits and
misuse of tickets.
But they were very minor
not even minor Harrick told the
Long Beach Press-Telegram for
Tuesday's editions.
Any penalties against the
UCLA program are not likely to be
severe and will not be determined
until late November or early
December the newspaper said.
Harrick was fired by UCLA on
Nov. 6, 1996, for violating the
NCAA's extra-benefits rule and
lying about it.
Harrick told the newspaper
that he doesn't think he or UCLA
will be penalized by the NCAA's
committee on infractions over the
violations.
UCLA fired Harrick almost
immediately after discovering he
had lied to its administrators.
However, the NCAA could order
sanctions be imposed on Harrick
by Rhode Island, which hired him
in May.
Lying to school investigators
about the circumstances of the
Oct. 11, 19, recruiting dinner is
considered the most senous of the
violations.
Mason still upbeat
as Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ?
Minnesota's Glen Mason insists
these aren't trying times, despite
the fact that his team has suffered
a pair of gut-wrenching losses over
the past two weeks.
There is no time to sulk really,
not with No. 5 Michigan on the
horizon Saturday in Ann Arbor,
Mich in the 81st battle for' "The
Little Brown Jug
If anything, Mason believes his
Gophers (2-6, 0-4 Big Ten) will
benefit from a 16-15 loss at No. 1

Michigan's 18 interceptions are

NBA hires two female
referees
NEW YORK (AP) Two women
were hired today as full-time
National Basketball Association
referees, marking the first time in
major pro sports in the I'nited
States tttat females will officiate
regular-season games in an all-
male league.
The hiring of Dee Kantner and
Violet Palmer was announced by
the NBA, which told them not to
comment about their
appointments until Wednesday
night.
Kantner, 36, was the supervisor
of officials in the WNBA Palmer,
33, was an official in the women's
professional league. Both have
officiated women s college games.
Kantner and Palmer have been
working exhibition games the past
three weeks.
They also officiated preseason
games last season, although they
did not make the final cut for the
regular season.
"They've gotten better each
time out NBA vice president of
operations Rod Thorn saidv Just
like the other referees, they've
come back from the summer, had
training camp and preseason and
gotten used to being out there
Kantner and Palmer will join
three other new members of the
NBA's 58-member officiating
crew.
The hirings were not
unexpected. The league office
sent a memo to all teams over the
summer ordering them to set aside
a spare room as a locker room for
female officials.
