of Governors approves
600-seat dining hall for west campus
BuiMng COStpWJeCted million dollar food service company
Building cost projected
at $7.4 million
MOHAMED HlISSEIN
STAFF WRITER
Students on East campus won't be
the only ones to benefit from a spa-
cious new dining hall after plans for
a West campus dining hall, are com-
pleted.
At the present time,
Mendenhall Student Center hous-
es the main dining hall of west
campus. Mendenhall, first built in
1974, is still in good use today, but
is being moved in order to provide
more room in the Mendenhall
Student Center.
The dining hall will be located
on the west end of campus. It will
include a 600-seat dining hall and a
food court adjacent to Readc
Circle, where the amphitheater is
located. The food will be prepared
and served by Aramark, a multi-
million dollar food service company
already contracted with the univer-
sity.
"Construction would not begin
for another year Brown said .
Brown expects the dining hall to
be of the same caliber as Todd
Dining Hall and a major improve-
ment to ECU's west campus.
Recently, the Board of
Governors of the UNC system
approved spending more than $92
million on construction projects at
eight UNC campuses around the
state. Of that $92 million, $7.4 mil-
lion will go into constructing a new
dining hall at ECU.
The money for the projects is
coming directly from the sale of
revenue bonds. The bonds are to
be repaid from income earned by
the facilities through rent, direct
sales or fees.
"The bonds keep the universi-
ty's dining hall improvements mov-
ing forward said Richard Brown,
ECU vice chancellor of finance and
administration.

Lawsuit alleges commissioners
biased over PCMH privatization
Hewlett Packard
invites ideas for web site
3 residents cite
conflict of interest
Jenny Vickers
STAFF WRITER
Many Pitt County Memorial
Hospital and Pitt County
Commissioners are adamantly pro-
claiming the benefits of becoming a
private, not-for-profit hospital.
Despite these assertions, three resi-
dents of Pitt County have filed a
lawsuit against them claiming that
several commissioners cannot make
a fair decision due to conflicts of
interest in favor of privatization.
Because Pitt County
Commissioners, who have close
connections with and within
PCMH, elect the consultants to
advise them on the hospital's priva-
tization issue, several Pitt County
residents claim that there will be
biases involved in the issue of priva-
tization.
According to Gene Tranbarger,
associate professor of nursing at
ECU and former president of the
North Carolina Nurses Association,
the change will benefit the resi-
dents of Pitt County.
"PCMH will continue to serve
the indigent regardless of its organi-
zational status because this is an
integral part of its mission
Tranbarger said.
Pitt County resident Nancy
Colville, one of the citizens who has
served the commissioners with the
lawsuit, claims that the issue is not
whether they will continue to care
for the indigent, but rather who will
pay for it.
"The cost of indigent care is
negotiable Colville said. "They

The Hewlett Packard (HP)

"We currently have an award-

students need something differ-
ent said Marsh Faber,
education program manager
of HP's Electronic Measurements
Division. "A select group of tomor-

There are 11 openings available
in this contest, five of which are
opened to students in the United

sophomores and juniors.
"I think it is difficult to offer the
contest to seniors Faber said. "At
that point, seniors are more con-

The university student transit
authority met Wednesday, Topics
of discussion included the academ-
ic probation policy, a cellular
phone policy, the 1998-99 budget,
and the maximum hours and salary
for student managers.
Joey Weathington, student tran-
sit adviser, proposed changes to
the transit academic probation pol-
icy, which were accepted. Transit
managers are now required to keep
a 2.3 overall GPA instead of the
previous 2.0 criteria. Drivers will
be warned if their overall GPA
goes below a 2.3. Transit managers
will be relieved of their position if
their GPA goes below a 2.3, but
may still work as a driver.
"This addition to the existing
academic probation policy will
help students become more con-
cerned with their grades while
holding a management position
Weathington said.
Two cellular phones will be
supplied to the transit system.
According to Stephen Wright,
transit manager, it will allow the
drivers' of charter buses that go
beyond city limits to reach the
Greenville office. The phones will
cost about $7.95 a month to use,
"For safety concerns on charters
we need cell phones when the
buses go outside of Greenville
said Craig Jackson, operations
manager. "The buses run outside
the city during the summer 20 to
25 times a month, and during the
school year four or five times a
month. We also have an employee
going to different towns to drop off
or pick up retail, buses and equip-

are already putting a dollar amount
on how much they will cover. If
they claim they will continue to pro-
vide indigent care for all, why are
they placing a number on it?
Eventually, if the hospital doesn't
have enough money to cover indi-
gent care, they could retain consul-
tants and plead that they can't pay.
The county is not obligated to pick
up the cost, but morally, they will
have to. This means the property
tax owners will have to pay more in
order to compensate
Colville feels a lot of the benefits
are misleading. "People arc mis-
leadingColville said.
"I have official documents to
back up what I am saying Colville
said. "Who are you going to believe,
a person who just talks about it or a
person with documents to back
them up? A car salesman will sell
any car
Arlcn Holt, hospital information
officer, feels that the privatization is
the best course of action.
"The County feels it is in the
best interest of the citizens to reor-
ganize under N.C. General Statute
131 E-8 Holt said.
Colville disagrees and wants res-
idents to be more concerned about
the privatization issue. She said she
feels that once PCMH ceases to be
public, a lot of negative things will
occur in the community.
"They will be able to put leans
in patients who can't pay their bill in
full Colville said. "This means
that they can force you to sell your
house if you don't have the money.
As a public hospital, they arc only
allowed to invest in safe invest-
ments. When they become private,
they can invest aggressively in the
stock market. This is a risk because

Carolyn Rob bins Hyde
staff writer
Students attending ECU in the
library science program might have
a big surprise when they apply for
jobs after graduation.
The master of library science
degree at ECU is not accredited by
the American Library Association, a
qualification that is required
throughout most of the country for
the positions of librarian within
universities, private research, med-
ical research or various government
jobs.
Though it is possible to obtain a
job without the accreditation in
North Carolina, the degree is not
acceptable for most library posi-
tions elsewhere in the United
States. It is normally not sufficient
to meet eligibility requirements for
a faculty position as librarian, even
at Joyner Library on campus.
In 1989, Dr. Lawrence Auld,
current chairperson of the
Department of Library Studies and
Educational Technology, came to
ECU in an attempt to secure ALA
accreditation. A self-study was con-
ducted here at ECU, praised bythc
dean at that time as "brilliant"
However, the ALA refused recon-
sideration. Unfortunately, accredi-
tation was never accomplished.
"The issue of ALA accreditation
was dropped several years ago and
is no longer an issue Auld said.
When questioned as to the ben-
efits of having this degree, Auld
stressed that ECU's library science
program is approved through the
North Carolina Department of
Public Instruction, thereby giving

Melanie Hackworth
staff write
Females at risk for an unplanned
pregnancy have the option of using
emergency contraception through
the Student Health Center. The
treatment must be administered
within 72 hours of an unprotected
sexual encounter.
Emergency contraception con-
sists of a high dose of hormones in
the form of eight pills that reduces
the risk of pregnancy by 75 percent
The emergency contraception
offered by the SHS is not the con-
troversial "abortion pill RU-486.
Contrary to reports in common
fashion magazines, women cannot
simply overdose on birth control
pills as a method of emergency con-
traception.
"People just think they can
overload on their birth control pre-
scription and be fine said Heather
Zophy, health education coordina-
tor. "Individuals need to go see a
health care provider for the pre-
scription instead of just reading an
article
Birth control pills are not a suffi-
cient substitute because only cer-
tain brands of pills can be used for
emergency contraception.
Women in need of this service
are those who have engaged in
unprotected intercourse, those that
have encountered a failed form of
birth control (ex. a broken condom),
or women who have been sexually
assaulted.
lb obtain access to emergency
contraception, a woman must make
an appointment with a health care
provider at SHS within 72 hours of
the unprotected act.
The appointment will consist of
a visit with a nurse followed by
counseling by a health care
provider. Occasionally a pregnancy
test or a pelvic exam must be
administered.
A pregnancy test is $5 through
the SHS. Emergency contracep-
tion pills are $8.
"Typically you don't need a
pelvic exam, you just need to talk
with a provider said Kathy
Whitehead, family nurse practition-
er with SHS. "You need to know
when your last period was and gen-
erally what your cycles are like
If emergency contraception is
prescribed, the provider will
explain its use and side effects to
the patient.
Not every woman is a candidate
for this option. A provider will eval-
uate the patient's family history in
addition to other factors to deter-
mine if the patient should have the
pills.
The concept of emergency con-
traception is controversial because
of the debate over when life begins.
A typical pregnancy happens
when fertilization occurs in the fal-
lopian tubes and the fertilized egg
travels down to implant along the
walls of the uterus.
Emergency contraception works
by inhibiting implantation of a fer-
tilized egg in the uterus. Many
believe that life begins with initial
fertilization, others with implanta-
tion.
"Typically it's not a pregnancy
until the fertilized egg implants in
the uterus, but the controversy still
there lies Zophy said.
Medically, a pregnancy will not
show on a test until implantation
has occurred.
Emergency contraception is
completely voluntary and other
options are discussed in detail by
providers.
The SHS is open from 8:00 a.m.
- 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and 9:00 sum. - 5:00 p.m on
Wednesdays. Weekend hours are
9:00 a.m12:00 p.m. Saturday and
Sunday.

The hospital has the potential of
making or losing. If the money is
lost, then where does that leave the
hospital?"
Colville said she feels that a
reduction in services will occur if
PCMH becomes private.
"Millions and millions of dollars
are put into subsidiaries in other
counties that are losing money
Colville said. "This will debilitate
the financial strength of the hospi-
tal and cause a reduction in ser-
vices
A statement made in a PCMH
manuscript states: "The PCMH
you have today is practically identi-
cal to the PCMH you would have if
this reorganization takes place. But
it would be stronger
Colville feels this is a biased
statement.
"Whether you are a private not-
for-profit or private for-profit hospi-
tal, there is little difference
Colville said. "They're both oper-
ating for money
Tranbarger feels differently
about the matter.
"To those who fear that privati-
zation of PCMH will limit access to
care or lower the quality of care, I
can say with a level of assurance
that there is nothing magic about
public or private hospitals
Tranbarger said.
Tranbarger feels that privatiza-
tion is also important to ECU
because most of the health science
operates, could possibly be receiv-
ing pressure to cast his vote in favor
of privatization from his employer

So you got a little crazy last night, and now you are wishing you hadn't. The
ECU Student Health Center now has "the morning after" pill available, but
according to pharmacist Donna Joyner, this procedure is not one to make a
habit.
"There are dangerous side effects if the morning after pill is used too
often Joyner said. "It can lead to blood clotting, and it is not intended to
be used as regular birth control
The emergency birth control pill is sometimes mistaken as a second-hand
type of abortion. Joyner promises that this is not the case.
The pill prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. This is
not at all an abortion because if taken within 72 hours, you are not actually
pregnant yet
The morning after pill is available at the Student Health Center for just
$8. and can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse.
The pill is most effective if it is taken within 24 hours Joyner said.
"But it is by no means 100 percent effective. It reduces your chances of
becoming pregnant by about 75 percent
Tablets are taken initially and then again 12 hours later. The side effects?
You can expect extreme nauseousness and vomiting for a day or so in most
cases. Other side effects such as severe headaches, blurred vision, speech
problems, or severe leg pain are possible but not common.
Be aware, the morning after pill is available, but its purpose is not to
replace responsibility. iPyou are sexually active, use condoms or another
form of birth control so that you can avoid this situation all together. "The
biggest thing that we are stressing is that the emergency birth control pill
shouldnot be used on a routine basis Joyner said. "It is not healthy to
make a habit of it

Preacher means spring's here
We are lucky to be one of the
campuses blessed with a
deranged holy man. For
most of us, he provides a
wonderful comic relief for
our lives.
You don't truly know that spring
has sprung until the crazy preacher
comes to town. It makes me smile
to see him on the mall ranting and
damning us all to hell, because I
know that his very presence signi-
fies that summer will be here soon.
With the kind of screwed-up
weather that this place has, he's
about the only indicator we have.
It's a phenomenon on college cam-
puses Bible-belt wide that is scien-
tifically unexplainable, but fright-
eningly consistent.
Every year it's the same. The
crowd gathers 'round, all googly-
eyed like they're in the freak tent
at the carnival. It's reminiscent of
the olden days when large win-
dows were built on the lower floors
of insane asylums so that after
church on Sundays people could
stroll down and look at the crazies.
What I don't understand is the
people who get really upset over
him. I mean, it's fun to taunt him
by saying things like "What's God
think about all that prison time you
did?" and "How does God feel
about you beating your wife and
kids, Mr. Preacher Man?" But
some folks out there actually take
the things he says seriously.
You don't take the insane seri-
ously unless they have a weapon.
How many people get worked up
over the guy on the bus swatting
invisible flies? The guy in your
hometown who is convinced he's
the chief of police? The Spice
Girls? They really can't help it. All
we can do is smile and nod, and
thank our mothers for not being on
crack when we were conceived.
Now, I'll be the first to admit
that when you have somebody who
thinks he's the messiah and has
stockpiled an arsenal of firearms
and a small infantry of looney
tunes, you've got a problem. But
for the most part ? if you keep the
implements of destruction out of
their hands ? those who are a fewr
bricks short of a load can't really
harm those cognizant enough to
realize that these chaps are nuts.
I think that we should just let
them be. If they feel like catching a
ride on a comet, who arc we to stop
them? And who knows, those
Heaven's Gaters could be looking
down on us from Hale-Bopp right
now, thinking we are all lunatics.
We are lucky to be one of the
campuses blessed with a deranged
holy man. For most of us, he pro-
vides a wonderful comic relief for
our lives. For some, he challenges
their patience and tolerance, which
is ironic since he possesses neither
of these qualities. And for the easi-
ly excitable among us, he builds
vocal cord strength.
If you really want the demented
preacher on the mall to go away
(which would be really painful for
me ? every time I look at him I
think of how few weeks we have
until classes end), then the best
idea is to keep from him that which
he craves the most ? attention. If
he upsets you so much, just treat
him like that unpleasant itch in
your underwear ignore it, and it
will disappear eventually.
Carters got some problem
with people like my readers
and myself. We are
studentsevidently we are the
problem. ?
As Ronald Reagan said about us,
"Well, there you go again I have
no idea what that means, but the
crowd seemed to love the saying. I
go again, about politics.
Thanks to a conservative lawyer,
the primaries may be put off until
later this year. The primary elec-
tion was supposed to be held on
-May 5th. I did not even want to
write about the primaries. Yeah, go
figure, me not wanting to write
about politics.
The reason I write is that I am
scared, truly scared. In one State
Senate race, an outrageous possibil-
ity exists. Two men are facing off in
the election: Bob Martin and Ed
Carter.
Martin is a nice guy. I have actu-
ally met him and liked what I saw.
When you tell someone who is in
politics you are with the press, you
are usually treated with the utmost
ass-kissing. Martin treated me with
respect before I told him what I do.
City council members and others in
or running for office usually treat
me with respect after not before I
tell them. But Martin was differ-
ent; I really liked him. Not to men-
tion he has a great voting record for
some causes that I like. I will not
name them; I do not want to come
off sounding like a press release or
campaign commercial.
I would not even write about
Martin if his competition did not
scare me. Ed Carter is challenging
Martin for his Senate seat. During
elections I tend not to listen to
promises and proposals; instead I
look at the past. Voting records and
what people try to do while in office
are a more accurate way of telling
what politicians will do.
Carter was mayor of Greenville
for one term. After the one term
Carter was promptly voted.out of
office.
Carter's got some problem with
people like my readers and myself.
We are East Carolina University
students, faculty and administra-
tion; evidently we are the problem.
A plague so much facing the coun-
try that we need to be contained.
For some of us enrolled in East
Carolina now, 1989 and 1990 were
high school years. If you were an
East Carolina University student in
1990 you would feel the same way I
do about Mr. Carter.
In case some of you do not know
Downtown was closed off for a cou-
ple of Halloweens. The scene
downtown was different; a lot more
people came into town. MTV even
mentioned the party that went on
here. The party got big, and some
people came to the party with
dubious intentions. Guns were
found, more fights than normal, so I
Carter decided to take action.
Carter closed downtown for
Halloween. It seemed like a good ?
idea, until parties broke out all over
town. Instead of having one central
location, the police now had to deal
with several different locales. This
resulted in a few clashes between
the people antf the police.
I think Carter really likes stu-
dents, he just wishes they would
participate more in politics. His
answer: call out the National
Guard and hope a few students
were shot, thus students become
politically active. But, that is just
what I think
Along with the National Guard,
Carter wanted to help bring crime
down in Greenville. Carter was try-
ing to secure funds for the police
department. While raising money
Carter made a few suggestions to
the Greenville City Council. Some
of his proposals were either, for lack
of a better word, idiotic. One idea
sticks out like Michael Jackson at
the million man march.
The suggestion was to establish
a citywidc curfew from 6 p.m. to 6
a.m. I really like to go outside and
play some ball, sometimes after 6
p.m. With that curfew people like
myself would be criminals. As con-
servatives like to say, if you outlaw
balls only criminals will have balls.
He claims to be for civil liberties,
but any civil libertarian will balk at
such ideas.
Carter is what I like to refer to as
extremist. A proposal to impose a
type of marshal law is not what this
city needed and definitely not the
person for the job in Raleigh.

Advice for intramural experience
LJETTER
to the Editor
Children should be tried as adults
I am writing my opinion on what
should be done to the two kids who
murdered all those people at a
school a while back and on the
juvenile law of the United States.
The judicial system in this country
leaves a lot to be desired. I think
that kids 13 and up should be held
responsible for their actions and
suffer the same consequences that
any other offender faces when per-
forming the same crime.
Children that age should know
the difference between right and
wrong unless they arc mentally ill. I
don't see anything wrong with
sending them to a juvenile deten-
tion center until the age of 18, but
after that they should be sent
straight to a state penitentiary and
serve time like any other adult
offender.
The two boys who committed
that heinous crime should be sent
to a detention center until they
reach the age of 18 and then sent to
a state penitentiary and serve their
sentence there. I also believe that
they should be tried as adults
because, like I said before, they
should know the difference
between right and wrong and
should be held responsible for their
actions. Even if the case is that their
parents didn't raise them any bet-
ter, they should still know the dif-
ference between right and wrong.
I don't and probably never will
understand insanity like that. I
would just like to know what is
wrong with people and society
today.
Jim Phclps
encourage everyone to par-
ticipate in intramural sports.
The number of sports avail-
able is incredible
ECU has a great intramural sports
program. Anyone can get together a
group of friends and have a lot of
fun with virtually no chance of
being groped by the President.
However, as with anything, there
arc problems. That's why I've put
together some helpful hints and
tips to smooth out the bumps and
pave the way to victory. I'm writing
specifically about Softball, which is
what I've been playing the past
couple of weeks.
Tip number one: Get a good
glove. This is tougher than you
think. The glove my dad gave me
looked like a piece of dining hall
flank steak. After testing both, I
can report that the glove's texture
and flavor are outstanding, while
the flank steak is durable and with-
stands lots of hard throws. Renting
a glove from the Rec Center has its
advantages and disadvantages as
well. Advantage: it's free; disadvan-
tage: you're not five-years-old.
I don't know who buys equip-
ment for the Rec Center, but I'd
like to put forth some suggestions.
If a glove has pictures of comic
book characters on it, it's too small.
If it says something like "Saf-T-
Gluv" or "My First Spalding
again, it's too small. I mean, come
on, this is East Carolina UNIVER-
SITY! Anyone whose hand would
fit in the glove I got thinks a party
school is one that has a trampoline
and a big sandbox.
Tip number two: Pick a posi-
tion. Remember it's not whether
you win or lose, but where you play
the game. If you have comprehen-
sive dental insurance, catcher is the
way to go. Having played catcher, I
know what the position entails.
Basically you stand behind some
alpha male who takes care to miss
your head by several inches.
Occasionally he will miss the ball,
and it will hit you somewhere on
the face because you have your
eyes closed, imagining that the bat
is further away from your head than
it actually is. Check for loose teeth,
throw the ball to the pitcher,
repeat.
Tip number three: Size up the
opposition. If you sign up for the
easy league, your team will be the
only one in the league that is actu-
ally bad. The other teams are com-
posed of people who were sick dur-
ing Major League tryouts, and peo-
ple who thought their huge mus-
cles would restrict their movement.
The conversations sound like this.
"Yo, dat wuz a good hit, Vinnie
"No friggin' way, Lou. Da
cover's still on da ball. Next time
I'll moider it
Knowing your enemy's weak-
ness will lead you to victory, rather
than causing your team to be a real-
istic hitting drill for Lou and
Vinnie.
All kidding aside, I encourage
everyone to participate in intramur-
al sports. The number of sports
available is incredible, with even
dodgcball being offered. Rumor
has it that Parking Services will be
sponsoring a ticket-writing compe-
tition. Points will be awarded for
style and number of tickets written,
with bonus points awarded for
players who ticket legally parked
cars. I'm already signed up

Son

Andy Turner

You have to be good to write good
songs about nothing. You have to
be even better to write good songs
about something.
Kevin Gordon's better.
Cadillac Jack's ttl Son is the
Nashville-based musician's debut
album on Shanachie
Entertainment. Produced by E-
Street Band member Gary
Tallent, the album is a dazzling
effort, highlighted by blue-collar
yock-n-toll storytelling, the son
the Boss himself has used to
scorch a many of listener's hean
and send a many of ass in motion.
Think Springsteen if he was from
the country instead of urban New
Jersey
Gordon is a hell of a songwriter,
and some pretty imponant folk
think so. Rockabilly hero Sonny
Burgess recorded Gordon's "Fast
Car" and All the King's Men, a
supergroup featuring Keith
Richards, Levon Helm, Scotty
More and D.J. Fontana, did
another Gordon number, "Deuce
and A Quaner
But he doesn't need legends to
give him credibility; Cadillac Jack's
Son is testament to his ability
and a hell of a testament it is.
You won't forget the characters
in Gordon's songs. You know 'em.

8 OUT OF 10
I really wanted to slam something
this week. I mean, really. I've been
writing too many positive reviews
lately and I'm feeling the need to
get a little bile out of my system.
Unfortunately, I'm reviewing
Irma Vep today, and I just can't rally
Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung stars as Maggie Cheung in Irma Vep.
PHOTO COURTESY OF MAGGIE CHEUNG FAN PAGE
to the attack. It's such a good-
natured little film. Going after it
with the critical knives would make
me feel like the worst kind of
Revlon vivisectionist, removing
Thumper's eyes to see if the hair
dye damaged them any. So I guess
I'll have to play nice. Damn it.
Here's the set-up: Irma Vep is a
French film starring Hong Kong
actress Maggie Cheung (Heroic Trio,
Jackie Chan's Police Story) as herself,
hired by a French director to play
jewel thief Irma Vep in his new
remake of the French silent film
classic Les Vampires. Got that? It's
Maggie Cheung in a French film
about Maggie Cheung making a
French film. Those whacky Frogs.
I'd like to tell you that this con-
cept is contrived and confusing, and
that Irma Vep suffers for it. I'd like
to say that the film is just so much
artistic puffery, and should be
avoided by any right-thinking film
connoisseur. But I can't, because
Irma Vep is actually a nice, under-
stated comedic character study.
It's a quiet little film about the
cast and crew of the doomed Ijs
Vampires, with Cheung at the center
as a son of stranger in a strange
land. Cheung oh, that's too for-
mal for this film; I'll just call her
Maggie. Maggie doesn't speak a
word of French, you see, and so she
is excluded from most of the
conversations going ori
around her. She does speak
English, thankfully, and so
can speak with the bilingual
members of the crew. But site
still spends much of her time,
smiling in confusion as the
tumultuous production goes
on around her.
It would be nice to be able
to say that this role is beyond
Cheung (that's Cheung the
actress, as opposed to Maggie
the character). I wish I coulr
make some snippy commerfr
about her sticking to the
Hong Kong action flicks,
where she can act with her
good looks and stunt doubles.
I'd love that. But unfortu-
nately, Maggie ? er, Cheung
is excellent in Irma Vep.
Granted, she is playing
herself, so maybe the quality
of her performance shouldn't
be so surprising. But the way
she captures that feeling of
polite confusion is fun to
watch. Mostly, I suppose, she
comes across as a very gen-
uine character, trying to stay
out of all the internal squab-
bles going on around her.
If I were inclined to be
harsh, I suppose I could say
that Irma Vep only gives us
an ego-stroking, idealized
version of Maggie Cheung
Maggie becomes an object
of fascination for the Les Vampires
crew. She seems somehow perfect
in their eyes, precisely because she
stays out of the all the petty bicker-
ing going on around her.
But Irma ,Vep is a smarter film
than that. Maggie stays out of the
squabbles because she's on strange
ground, and because she can't
understand most of the arguments

Protedingyour
privacy on the net
John Davis
assistant lifestyle editor
Well, it'd be nice if, just for a few-
years, us college students could be
sheltered from the big, bad world
of hungry vultures. But it just ain't
so. The Internet is a perilous
place. Nasty, suspicious folks of all
sons can snoop in all sorts of ways.
We have "cookies" for exam-
ple, which are little programs that
web sites download onto your
computer that give marketers all
sorts of personal information: race,
age, sex, web sites hit, etc. These
are nasty, but not as creepy as just
plain old electronic peeping toms.
Most of you don't realize that
Internet stalkers out there can
probably read your e-mail.
Again, it'd be nice if ECU
would be a little forward-thinking
and provide means to keep our e-
mail private, but we, unfortunate-
ly, have an administration that
favors the peeping torn philoso-
phy. Therefore, if we want to keep
the Constitutional rights to privacy
ensured to us by the First and
Fourth Amendments, we're going
to have to take our own measures
for the time being.
A simple, quick way to at least
make it troublesome for the high-
er-ups to invade our privacy is to
utilize the password options on
word processors. It works like this:
Write your message in a word
processor (such as Word)
WordPerfect, ClarisWorks, etc.)
that you and the recipient of your
message have in common.
After you've written it, click on
the "document summary" option
under "file There'll be an option
called "set password" or some-
thing like that. Click on this and
type in a password. Then, use a
phone or snail-mail and let your
recipient know of your password.
Finally, mail the word processor
file as an attachment.
This is not sophisticated at all,
and any tenacious administrator
can get a computer geek flunky tq
decode this fairly easily. But it will
make them have to work to read
your stuff.
There are also a few Freeware
programs you can download off the
Net. One of the best is written by
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy a?
http:www.nai.eomdefaultpgp.a
sp) There are actually several good
privacy programs on their web site.
The better ones obviously cost
money, but your privacy may be
worth it to you. Information about
PGP can be obtained at this site:

might want to hit this site before;

for no other reason than to find out!
if this software is compatible with
the e-mail programs you use.
There is also a nice site called1
The Anonymizer
(http:www.anonymizer.com),
which strips your e-mail of all;

In one particularly strange
scene, we see Maggie sneaking
around her hotel in the black latex
costume she wears for Les Vampires.
Before even she knows what's hap-

woman's phone conversation and
stealing a jeweled necklace.
Whether she's driven by boredom,
loneliness, or a simple desire to bet-

Dowdy-Ficklen to host 15th annual
Pigskin Pig-Out Party this weekend
?f
Activities and events
set to ben Friday
Tracy Hairr
STAFF WRITER '
On April 9, the 15th Annual
Great Pirate PurpleGold
Pigskin Pig-Out Party began its
series of events with a
luncheon that recognized
media, sponsors and volunteers
who aid in coordinating
selected shows. The
continuation of the party's
events are scheduled for April
1?-19 at Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium.
For.the seventh year now,
Eastern Carolina Toyota
dealers have pledged their
support of ECU by sponsoring
the Pig-Out portion of the
upcoming action.
"Their support to assist to
underwrite this event is crucial
to our ability to raise funds for
student-athlete scholarships
said ECU Director of Athletics
Mike Hamrick in a press
release.
Also behind the Pirates,
United States Cellular is
sponsoring the Golf Classic
that will be played Friday, April
17, at Brook Valley Country
Club, and is hosting special
appearances from professional
athletes and ECU alumni.
Then on Saturday morning,
PCS Phosphate holds fast to
their support of the Breakfast
of Champions where the All
Academic team and
Outstanding Male and Female
Student-Athletes of 1998 will
be honored.
"One cannot leave this
event without feeling proud of
East Carolina Univeristy and
the student-athletes that are on
our campus Hamrick said.
Other businesses along with
these, plus individual Pirate
supporters, have graciously
offered gifts and donations to
help in accommodations for the
weekend.
The events planned for this
annual party range from the
musical entertainment of the
Band of Oz and Tin Pan Alley
to ECU teams in action. The
soccer team will host UNCW,
the baseball team is slated to
participate in a 3-game series,
and fans can get a sneak
preview of the football team's
performance as they compete
for positions. Before these
games, some ECU athletes will
be featuring an autograph
session, and after practicing,
the football team will be
involved.
Assisting the festivities will
be a military display of vehicles
and equipment from Camp
Lejeune in Jacksonville.
The ECU mascot, PccDee
the Pirate, is going to be
celebrating his birthday, and
everyone is invited to help him
enjoy his birthday cake.
A Home and Garden show
will exhibit services and items,
a craft show is also planned,
and Minges Coliseum parking
lot, full of rides for both
children and adults, adds still
more excitement to the
anticipated events.
On Friday evening, there is
a scheduled Pig-Cookin'
contest to be held under the
stadium that will be
highlighted by fireworks, rides,
and music during the night.
Then the food concessions last
all weekend until Sunday
afternoon.
With such an eventful
agenda lined up, all ECU fans,
friends, and family are
encouraged to come out and
participate in the fun-filled
activities.

Baseball's biggest fan shows
community what spirit is all about
Greene takes extra
step for Pirate ball
Jason Thi'ringer
SENIOR WRITER
Jerry Greene, a local truck
i driverdock worker, is by far
the biggest fan of ECU
baseball. That's no big deal,
you might say. Well, what is a
big deal is that Greene has
seen every baseball game the
Pirates have played since the
start of the 1993 season.
As of April 14, his streak
stands at 315 consecutive
games arid still going. That is
not home games only or the
not-so-far-away away games
in Raleigh or Wilmington, but
every game the Pirates have
played from Florida to West
Virginia and many other states
in between.
"No question, he is one of
the greatest fans we have
Head Coach Keith LeClair
said "He is there every day
and he doesn't care whether we
win or lose
"He is a great lift to the
team and he really helps our
spirits out said senior Ryan
Massimo.
So where does this Pirate
fan's spirit come from? We at
TEC set out on a mission to
find out.
Q: How or why does a streak
like this get started?
A: When the '93 season
started, Coach Overton and I
were going over the schedule

do to help out and I just

Congratulation to ECU freshman swimmer Alicia

Scholar-Athlete Award! Alicia has shown exceptional
character, scholarship, and dedication to athletic
competition, setting ECU freshman records in the 100
and 200 yard breaststroke while maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
She also recieved the swimming team's 1998
Iron Woman award. Keep up the good work, Alicia!

Jerry Greene has dedicated the past six years of his life to ECU baseball. He has attended every home and away
game since 1993, and is considered by coaches and players as a part of the team.
PHOTO ?1 CLAY BUCK
Q: What is the driving force
behind keeping the streak
alive?
A: The kids on the field.
Since this is the sixth year of
the streak, none of the kids out
there have ever taken a swing
or thrown a pitch without me
being there to cheer them on
and support them. I've always
said that baseball is a family
sport and I've been fortunate
to be part of the family here at
ECU over the past five years.
The coaches and players have
made me feel like part of the
family.
Q: What is the most
memorable road trip you have
made?
A I've had some interesting
road trips. One of the most
memorable was in 1993. We
played in Raleigh on a
Wednesday night and came
back. I had to be back in
Raleigh Thursday morning for
a meeting and we played in
Burlington Thursday night.
The game was over about
10:30 that night and I drove
straight to Atlanta because my
brother-in-law had tickets for
me to see Michael Jordan and
the Chicago Bulls play Friday
night and I couldn't pass that
up. 1:30 Saturday afternoon I

STEPHEN SCHRAMM
SENIOR WRITER
ECU's men's and women's track teams
have gone through hell and high water
to gee to this point in their season. The
high water came during a stretch where
rains washed out practices. The hell
was the lackluster performances and
disappointing finishes that followed.
However their seasons can become
successes with a strong showing at this
weekend's CAA Championships.
Both teams had their final meets
marred by bad weather. The men's
team traveled to Tempe, Arizona for the
Sun Angel Classic. The teams
competed against each other and a
thirty mile per hour wind in their faces.
"That's the most wind I've ever
been exposed to at a meet It destroyed
the meet. Usually it will be bad in the
morning and then die down, but this
didn't said head men's track coach Bill
Carson.
The Pirates managed five top ten
performances en route to a third place
finish overall.
The women's team had worse luck
with the weather. The meet that most
of the team went to was snowed out.
The rest of the team traveled to Liberty
and scored three top five finishes.
Jennifer Prevatt finished second in the
hammer throw. Teammate Crystal Fryc
finished second in the shot put while
Saundra Teel won the heptathalon.
These strong performances bode
well for the Pirates as they head into the
conference championships. Differing
levels of emphasis are placed on the
CAA meet.
"This is one of the meets we shoot
for said head women's track coach
Charles "Choo" Justice. "We want to
do as well, as we can, and have each girl
do as well as we can
Heading into the meet the Pirates
suspect depth is a concern.
"I don't know about our depth, I like
to think we have enough but I don't
think we have the numbers to make a
big impact Justice said.
The men's team does not place as
much emphasis on the CAA meet.
Because it is built around the track
events and does not compete in every
event, the Pirates are not made for a
meet of this size.
"We'll run our stuff and be about
fifth. The conference is getting more
competitive. It's getting tough to find
places to score points Carson said.
The Pirates will head to the meet
without one of their major weapons.
"We'll be without Ramondo North.
He is a Prop 48 player, and our
conference doesn't allow prop 48
players to compete. We'll have to go
without a big chunk of our team. That
will make it rougher Carson said.
Another concern is the condition of
the team after two straight weeks of
extensive travel.
"Going to the Texas Relays and
Tempe back to back was not a good
idea, Carson said.
Both teams head to the CAA meet in
Williamsburg, Virginia rested and
confident.
"We're in good shape, we're not
hurt, we're not beat down, we're ready
for it Carson said.
Lady Pirate softball extends winning streak
to 11 with Charleston Southern sweep
Both games called on
eight-run merry rule
Travis barkley
SENIOR WRITER
Charleston Southern proved to be
no match for the ECU softball
team as the Pirates rolled to a
doubleheader sweep at home on
Monday.
ECU won 10-2 in the first
game and 12-0 in the second.
Both games were halted in the
fifth inning due to the eight-run
mercy rule.
Charleston Southern actually
led the first game, jumping out to
1-0 lead in the top of the first.
However, their lead didn't last
long, as Pirate slugger Isonette
Polonius blasted a two-run home
run to left field. ECU would
never look back, allowing
Charleston only one run the rest
of the afternoon. The Pirates
scored three runs in the third and
four runs in the fifth before the
game was called.
Starting pitcher Jami Bendle
got the win and improved to 12-6
on the season. Bendle allowed
only three hits while striking out
five.
ECU benefited from an
aggressive running game, stealing
6 bases in the game and 10 on the
afternoon. Polonius had two of the
steals and said the team knew
they could run effectively early
on.
'The catcher sets the play
Polonius said. "When the first
throw comes in you can usually
tell
Charleston catcher Jennifer
Tompkins had trouble throwing
all day. Several of her throws to
second were cut off because they
were so late.

Mario Scherhaiker
SENIOR WRITER
Since the beginning of the series
in 1983, the Lady Monarch tennis
team has always left the court as
winners against the Lady Pirates.
Coming to Norfolk, Va. with a
backup of a five-match winning
streak, the Lady Pirates came
close to ending that series on April
6, 1998.
The ECU women's team took
two of three doubles matches.
Softball
continued from page 9
Conrad said that ECU tries to run
in every game.
"We try to run on every team
Conrad said. "We would run on
anybody
Conrad sparked the Pirate
offense in the first game with a
two-run double in the first. ECU
scored three runs in every at-bat,
banging out 12 runs on 12 hits.
Big South Player-of-the-Week
Keisha Shepperson continued her
hot hitting, going two for three
with two doubles. Senior Christi
Valevich finished 3-4 with two
RBIs.
Freshman pitcher Lisa
Paganini allowed only two hits
and struck out six to get the win.
Paganini's shutout Was her sixth of
the year and raised her record to
7-5.
Polonius finished a combined
6-for-7 at the plate, with two
doubles, six RBIs and six runs
scored. Her double in the first
game set a new school record for
career doubles. Earlier-this year,
Polonius set the career home run
record.
Top-seeded Anne Svae and Mona
Eek defeated Luciana Araujo and
Iva Beli 8-3. The No. 3 duo of
Catherine Morgan and Gina
MacDonald won their seventh
consecutive match, with an
impressive .8-4 decision over
Michelle Wells and Lacey Lee.
Sophomore Michelle Martin
and junior Morgan both recorded
singles wins, too. Martin, playing
at the No. 4 spot, defeated
Stephanie Smith 7-5,6-2. Morgan,
on the other hand, won her fifth
straight match, topping Wells 6-4,
6-1 at the No. 6 position.
"After my third year playing
tennis for ECU, I'm having a lot
of experience and I feel
confidence coming into my
game Morgan said. "All singles
matches were a constant up and
down for us. We were really close
to beating them for the first
time
Both their scheduled matches
against No. 67 UNCG on April ff
and against No. 35 N.C. State on
"As a player, I don't keep track
of how many doubles or home
runs I hit Polonius said. "It feels
good, but I don't really pay
attention to records
The sweep extended ECU's
winning streak to 11 games,
winning 27 of their last 32 games.
Overall, ECU stands at 34-16, 9-1
in the Big South.
Charleston Southern dropped
to 2-37, 0-8 in the conference.
Polonius said the Pirates have
enjoyed
their recent
home stand
after playing
on the road
much of the
season.
"In the

According to Morgan, the team
is in good shape and ready for this
weekend's conference

seeded Lady Pirates will take on
third-seeded Richmond in their
first match at noon on Friday.
Their matches will go through
Sunday and will take place at
Richmond's Byrd Park and the
University of Richmond tennis
courts.
"We have a good chance of
doing really well this year
Morgan said. "We have been

that we could do better than we

pulled into Harrington Field to
watch us play a doubleheader
against Richmond.
Q: Which game stands out as
the most memorable that you
have seen?
A: I can't say which one stands
out; there have been so many.
There have been so many of
them. I've seen games where we
were playing here and we were
down six runs in the bottom of the
ninth with two outs and nobody
on and we end up tying the game.
Playing in the regional (the
qualifying tournament to the
College World Series) was a lot of
fun. Winning the CAA
tournament in Wilmington was a
lot of fun. I enjoyed that. As for
picking one I can't really do it.
After 312 games they tend to run
together. Beating Tennessee
when they were ranked second in
the nation was memorable. We
beat a team that people said
couldn't be beat. That was a
wonderful moment. Beating
Clcmson for Keith's first victory in
Clemson was memorable. It
was the first time they had lost a
home opener since 1984. That
was fun. They've all bcerTa lot of
fun.
Q: What helps make the streak
possible?
A The biggest reason I can do
it is because of my wife. She is
wonderful. She supports me and.
allows me to do it. Without her I
could never do it. And my work
schedule allows me to do it. They
work real well with me. They
allow me to get off work early for
some afternoon games and I have
vacation days saved for the away
games that are a problem.
Another supporter is the coaching
staff. They are real friendly
toward me and I thank and
respect them for that.
Every sports team hopes to
have fans like Greene. It is
apparent that the ECU baseball
team is lucky to have this fan on
its side. Congratulations, Jerry, on
being a rabid supporter of
Piratebaseball. I hope I'm there to
see the day his streak reaches 400.

Scott Lyons knows what it's like
to be part of a minority. From the
outside, you can't tell any
difference between Lyons and his
friends. They share common
interests and look like ordinary
college students. Lyons hangs
out with his friends so much that
he even smalls like them. "I can't
escape it he says. He smells
like his friends because most,
including his roommate, are
smokers. And Lyons is part of the
non-smoking minority.
Non-smokers such as Lyons
are greatly out numbered in
downtown Greenville. On a
typical night most bar patrons,
like Matt Dillon, are cigarette
smokers whether they smoke a
pack a day or only smoke while
consuming alcohol.
Dillon, an ECU junior, has
tried to quit, but the power of
nicotine was"too great. "I light a
smoke in my car, after a good
meal, and about a pack when I'm
drinking he said. Dillon's New
Year's resolution was to quit
smoking, but his resolve lasted
less than an hour.
Dillon and his roommate,
fellow nicotine addict, Fonzie
Weninger, have adopted a smoke-
free homeplace, vowing, no
matter how cold, not to smoke
inside.
"Me and Fonz got some new
furniture a while back and we
don't want to stink it all up said
Dillon.
Perhaps Dillon and Weninger
should be more concerned with
their health than their new
furniture. According to the
American Cancer Society,
smoking is a leading cause of lung
cancer. But they still have time to
quit. A 1990 report by the
Surgeon General says that after
15 years off cigarettes, the risk of
death for ex-smokers returns to
nearly the same level of those
who have never smoked.
In recent years, there has been

to smoke on campus are in some
faculty offices, residence halls,
and outside. This is because of a
concern about secondhand
smoke. According to the
American Lung Association,
secondhand smoke is responsible
for about 3,000 deaths each year.

Lawsuits threaten
eastern NC tobacco
Tobacco farmer believes
regulation will mean
industry's devastation
Nikki Hayes
? FOCUS SECTION WRITER
S. G. Hayes of Henderson is
afraid that he may be on the
endangered species list. That's
because he is a. tobacco farmer.
ft number of states attorney
generals are suing the United
States . cigarette industry for
money paid by the states to treat
smoking related illnesses. The
settlement proposed could cost
cigarette manufacturers $368.5
billion over 25 years. It could cost
Hayes and other farmers their
entire way of life.
If the proposal is approved,
cigarette companies will be
buying less tobacco. This is bad
news for small' farms, like
Hayes's.
In order for the farmers to
break even or better, the
government will have to buy their
allotments from them. An
allotment is the number of
pounds that one can grow on a
farm in a year. If the farmer wants
to grow more tobacco than his
allotment will allow, he must rent
or buy an allotment from another
farmer.
Cigarette companies must
know two years in advance how
much tobacco they are going to
purchase. Allotments are
assigned accordingly. The more
open land a farmer has, the larger
his allotment.
Almost three percent of the
United States population makes a
living working with tobacco, from
the farms to the cigarette
manufacturers.
North Carolina produces 60
percent of the flue-cured (dried
with artificial heat) in the United
States. Hayes estimates that 90
percent of North Carolina farmers
probably grow some tobacco.
"North Carolina would die
without tobacco he said.
According to Mitch Smith, of
the North Carolina Cooperative
Extension Service in Pitt County,
there are about 200 active
producers of tobacco in Pitt
County. Last year, tobacco
generated $62 million here. Pitt
County ranks tenth in the state in
farm cash-receipts. That adds up
to a large portion of local income.
Hayes began farming tobacco
as a boy with his father. Then
when he married in 1957, he
purchased his first land for
growing tobacco. He split half an
acre of land with another farmer
and each grew a quarter of an acre
of tobacco.
Hayes now owns farms in
Franklin County and leases farms
in Vance and Warren counties.
Together his four farms total 264
acres. He also leases allotments
from other farmers. Last year, he
grew more than 390 acres of
tobacco and 900 acres of
soybeans. However, Hayes said
he would never grow soybeans if
he didn't grow tobacco. There
simply isn't enough money in
soybeans. While an acre of
soybeans brings a farmer $150 -
$180, an acre of tobacco may
bring in $3,500 - $4,000.
Hayes is a member of the
Tobacco Growers Association of
North Carolina, which supports

sound like more than reasonable
compensation, Hayes points out
that if he had to stop growing,
tobacco, he would have $1 million
of useless farm equipment and
not enough land to grow anything
else that could make him a living.

His point? Every acre of
tobacco grown in the U.S. for
domestic consumption generates
more than $46,000 in state and
federal excise taxes when sold as
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
If tobacco were regulated and the
amount of tobacco grown and sold
in North Carolina is cut, taxpayers
will have to pick up the tab.

Everyone from Wall Street
millionaires to college students
have been
lighting up their stogies. Cigar
smoking has become the trend of
the 1990s.
But think twice before buying
your $300 humidor.
According a Greenville cigar
store manager, Richard Peterson,
the cigar smoking trend, which
began five years ago in urban
areas, is now on the decline. For
the past few years urban cigar
profits have continued to fall two
to three percent each year.
Peterson, manager of Onix, a
cigar and tobacco store located
downtown, has attributed the rise
and fall of the trend to a feeling of
nostalgia. Cigars are also a
backlash against conservatives, an
affordable luxury, and status
symbol. "In the 1980s people
Would indulge in Porsches, but
now the money isn't available
Peterson said. He feels the cigar
market has reached a point of
saturation, and everyone who will
smoke cigars are smoking them.
Despite the urban decline
Onix has continued to increase
profits 15 percent to 20 percent
each year for the past three years
that it has been open. Peterson
attributes- the increase to there
being no other competitors
nearby. As for the trend's decline
Peterson said, "It's been a hell of
a ride; a lot of people have made
a lot of money"
While Peterson has enjoyed
the cigar smoking trend, Joel
Duncan, who has been smoking
cigars for six years, resents it. "I
hate to do what trends are; prices
have gone up; costs have
doubled Duncan said. He can
often be caught sitting in front of
his flashing computer screen with
thick smoke wafting from an El
Rey Del Mundo in hand.
Duncan spends about $20 a
week on cigars which may appear
modest when compared to
individual cigar prices averaging
$5 to $10 and reaching upwards of
$20 to $30 for a 'fine' cigar.
For him cigar smoking is all
about pleasure. Duncan said
there are risks and costs
involved with everything,
and you have to weigh both the
costs and the benefits.
Some current health risks for
cigar smokers as determined by
the American Cancer Association
include: higher tar and nicotine
concentrations, up to 40 times
that of cigarettes; cigar smokers
are more likely to develop
persistent coughs, phlegm, and
peptic ulcers than cigarette
smokers; and cigar smokers are
up to 10 times more likely to die
from laryngeal, oral, and
esophageal cancer than cigarette
smokers
Duncan, a graduate student in
the counseling school and
graduate coordinator of Slay and
Umstead residence halls,
believes that many statistics
about the health risks from
smoking cigars are manipulated.
And this causes cigar smoking to
appear more harmful than it is.
"Statistics lie he said. "You can
make numbers say anything you
want them to say. The minimal
health risks don't outweigh the
maximum pleasurable benefits
Both Peterson and Duncan
agree that smoking is a personal
thing. In addition to cigars, both
also smoke a pipe. Peterson feels
that when the cigar smoking
trend is finally over, pipes will be
their successor as the next fad.
"Pipes give you more to do
Peterson said. "It's a busy habit
Accordingly, Peterson is
preparing Onix for the projected
pipe smoking trend by stocking
the store with quality pipes,
premium pipe tobacco, and pipe
accessories.

This is the attitude of many
smokers.
But the damage may already
be done. Symptoms may not
appear for years after the disease
has already set itself up,
according to medical experts and
the American Cancer Society.
Cigarette smoking also can
lead to laryngcal, oral and
esophageal cancer, and is
associated with cancer of the
pancreas, urinary bladder and
kidney, according to the Surgeon
General's office.
Tobacco smoking is by far the
leading cause of lung cancer,
accounting for up to 90 percent
of all cases of the disease,
according to the
American Cancer
Society. Lung cancer,
however, is the
leading cause of 1

In Pitt County, for 1997, it was
projected that there would be 60
new lung cancer cases diagnosed,
and there would be 60 lung
cancer-related deaths, according
to a study performed by the
North Carolina Central Cancer
Registry.
The American (lancer Society
estimates that for the I IS in 1998,
about 171,500 new cases of lung
cancer will be reported. 91,400

160,100 deaths are expected from
lung cancer: 93,100 among men,
and 67,000 among women,
accounting for 28 percent of all
cancer deaths.
Since 1987, more women have
died each year of lung cancer
than of breast cancer, which had
been the major cause of cancer
death in women for the past 40
years. The cancer death
rate for womea smokers
is 67 percenthigher than
