professionals from North Carolina,
South Carolina, Florida, Virginia,
and New York reviewed applica-
tions to determine the award recip-
ients.
According to Harvey McMurray
of NC Cop-Link, the application
process to be considered for the
award was "a rigorous test The
process included a lengthy applica-
tion highlighting the many pro-
grams developed for ECU and a
site visit where university students
were interviewed.
Other criteria include training of
officers in community policing
philosophies, letters of reference,
proof of citizen participation in
departmental efforts, mission and
value statements, hiring guidelines,
performance evaluation guidelines
and management structure.
"This award validates the strong
community policing programs
implemented by the EGU Police
Department over the last four
years. The award is also a recogni-
tion of the commitment this univer-
sity has to its students, faculty and
staff in providing top level police
services Chief Crocker said.
Community policing is defined
as a philosophy and strategy
whereby law enforcement and the
community share the responsibili-
ty to identify problems or concerns
in the community and actively
work together to develop a plan of
action to resolve those problems. It
is a proactive partnership between
law enforcement and the commu-
nity based on trust and coopera-
tion.
The ECU Police Department, a
full service police organization
consisting of 45 sworn officers, 30
student patrol officers, five
telecommunications officers and
three full-time support service per-
sonnel, received notification
on June 29 that it won the
award for colleges and universities
in North Carolina.

ECU students living on campus
continued the upward trend in aca-
demic performance last spring
according to a release disclosing
Grade Point Average statistics for
all campus residence halls.
The overall GPA for residence
halls rose from 2.510 in the spring
1997 semester to 2.576 last spring.
This overall increase was accompa-
nied by 168 students making a 4.0
and 181 students falling between
3.75-3.99. Such numbers denote
an improved commitment to acad-
emics within the ECU residence
halls.
Emanuele Amaro, the director
of University Housing Services,
attributes the success and
improvement to the students.
"My personal belief is that stu-
dents in general are more
motivated to succeed
Amaro said.
Although student
motivation may be up,
there is a connection
between student and
campus living.
"Residence halls stu-
dents tend to have a con-
nection to the university
which I believe to be
important for a student's
success. . . if placed in an
environment that is posi-
tive, caring, and support-
ive being motivated to
succeed is that much eas-
ier Amaro said.

The man in connection with the
killing of an employee of the Jarvis
Street Laundry Mat was charged with
murder. Bail was set at $1 million.
Three blocks from campus Aug.22,
Tyrone Larkins, 37, of 503 E. Second
St Apt. G, was attacked at the Jarvis
Street laundromat. Police responded
to a call 7:30 p.m.that a fight had bro-
ken out. By the time they arrived,
Larkins was badlv beaten and unre-
sponsive. Paramedics transported him
to Pitt County Memorial Hospital
where he was pronounced dead on
arrival. Medical examiners said
Larkins died from natural causes of
heart disease, but the examiner said it
was his opinion that the confrontation
led to his death.
Charged with the murder is 25-
year-old Charles Andrew Evans of
4968 Old Washington Road, Highway
264. Witnesses near the scene gave
police a description of the suspect and
his license plate number. Late
Saturday night police charged Evans
with the crime.

Jenny Simmons did homework and
hung out at her sorority during the
two days off from classes, brought
by Hurricane Bonnie. Carrie
Hewitt stayed glued to her televi-
sion, watching the pattern of
Bonnie and how much rain it was
dumping on the Carolina coast.
The difference in how students
spent time depended largely on
where they were from.
Simmons, a native of New Yotk,
saw the hurricane as exciting by
day and boring by night when the 8
p.m. curfew restricted her from
leaving her dorm.
"I spent most of my time at my
sorority house doing homework
and just hanging out said
Simmons. "Because of the curfew,
we weren't allowed out and things
got really boring and stressful after
8 p.m
Hewitt saw it as a threat to her
parents' home in Elizabeth City
and one of the "slowest hurricanes"
she had ever experienced.
"I have experienced other hurri-
canes but none were as slow and as
boring to watch as this one said
Hewitt. "It seems like it lingered
on forever
Fortunately for Hewitt she saw
the hurricane downsized from a
level three to a tropical storm, with
more damage caused by water than
by high winds.
By Friday morning parking lots
were drying out, stalled cars were
started and the Grounds
Department crew was combing
through the campus, removing
debris and fallen limbs. It was busi-
ness as usual. ECU escaped
unscathed. But
where were the
students?
Campus was

F'riday when
many off-cam-
pus students
assumed they
didn't have
classes after
reading on the
ECU web site,
and hearing on
local radio sta-
tions, that class-
es would be closed.
Apparently the confusion began
with the delay of Bonnie's arrival.
School officials prepared for the
worst: a hurricane whirling through
Greenville late Thursday after-
noon, interrupting power lines,
phone lines and blocking roads. To
keep students off the streets, offi-
cials piped information to students
of cancellations as soon as they

At the beginning of summer, inter-

students will drop a full percentage

This was adopted as part of the

On June 9, President Clinton

File cabinet accidents prompt
office safety awareness
Accident numbers
cause concern
anoiijc�ica
Joseph Elder
staff writer
Don't laugh. A string of dangerous
file cabinet accidents in ECU
department offices has awakened
the need for increased attention to
a subject not often regarded as seri-
ous - office safety.
The most recent incident at the
School of Medicine, the third
mishap in four months, occurred a
month after the Office of
Environmental Health and Safety
posted an email announcement
regarding the accidents.
There have been a number of
accidents involving lateral file cab-
inets tipping over. Fortunately,
none have resulted in serious
injury but there are precautions
you should take to prevent future
incidents, the announcement said.
These precautions include lev-
eling cabinets before loading, load-
ing from the bottom up, storing
heavier items in bottom drawers,
and anchoring cabinets to the floor
or wall.
Employees should not open
more than one drawer at a time,
use drawers as shelves or steps or
leave the drawers open when not
being used.
Despite the three latest
mishaps causing minor contusions
and bruises, they have created
some real concerns for Phil Lewis,
the assistant director for
Environmental Health and Safety.
Topping the list of his concerns -
ensuring that employees use safe
practices in their work environ-
ment and maintain awareness of
potential office hazards.
"Safety in office areas is many
times overlooked because it is not
perceived as a hazardous working
environment. However, the office
environment is full of hazards that
Heather Burgess and Brian Williams sorting files in an office file cabinet

can result in injury.
"The key to preventing acci-
dents related to hazards found in
the office is to first identify those
hazards Lewis said.
Among those hazards are
improperly placed electrical cords,
items obstructing the means of
egress, moving or incorrectly lifting
heavy objects, standing on or lean-
ing back in chairs and poor work-
station design.
After identifying dangerous
objects, areas and practices,
"appropriate action must be taken
to eliminate those hazards or
reduce your risk through the use of
engineering and administrative
controls Lewis said.
According to the OSHA NC
guide 33 the layout of an office
should incorporate the principles
of work flow, considering safety
and health, efficiency, and conve-
nience. Such a layout should have
specific requirements for stairways,
exits, and doors since accidents
often occur in these areas.
All employees, including stu-
dent workers, should familiarize
themselves with proper work prac-
tices and follow all applicable safe-
ty guidelines. This includes being
aware of fellow employees activi-
ties and watching out for other
office workers.
When accidents occur at ECU,
employees should report them to
their supervisor and contact the
Office of Environmental Health
and Safety. Student workers
injured in campus offices should
notify their supervisor and seek
appropriate medical attention.

Campus building signs
more helpful than not
New system
functional modern
Joseph Elder
staff whiter
With the new ECU sign system in
place complete with directories
and new building signs, getting
around campus should be a breeze.
The comprehensive signage
system makes identifying campus
buildings easier and newcomers
can use the map directories for
details on building locations. But
the signs, which cost between
$1100 and $1500, will not help if
you need to know what depart-
ments a particular building houses.
For some students, this does
not pose a problem. Joni Susette, a
sophomore at ECU, says that hav-
ing the signs is not necessary.
"The building name is enough
since the building name and room
Loan
continued from page 2
number are all that appear on the
schedule Susette said
While this may suffice for those
already familiar with campus and
for finding class meeting locations,
newcomers and those needing
specific departmental offices may
require information not posted on
the new signs.
"It would be easier if depart-
ment names were on the signs
said Melissa Parker, an ECU fresh-
man. "I was sent to departments
but no one told me what building
they were in
Though the signs may not
address every campus pedestrians
detailed needs, the new signs do
serve a valuable purpose and give
the university a more modem look
compared to the old wood signs.
"The new signs are designed
to be aesthetically pleasing,
durable and project a professional
image said Eugene Langford,
Facilities Services construction
and renovation design technician.
ECU's sign system seems to
fall in the middle of the road
when compared with the other
two major state universities in the
UNC system. North Carolina
State University signs display
both building names and depart-
mental names, but University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill stu-
dents are lucky if they find a
building sign.
"Finding a building sign is hit
or misssaid Gordon Rutherford,
director of buildings and grounds
at UNC-CH. "They just expect
the students to know their way
around campus
If someone has difficulty find-
ing a particular department they
can find a campus phone directo-
ry to assist them or ask for direc-
tions within other university
departments.
The new building signs
replaced the old wood �igns
which lasted only two or three
years. Constant decay of the old
signs and frequent need for
replacement made them expen-
sive to maintain. The new
signs are expected to last 10 or

Many of you can probably remember the time long ago when hearing about a murder or a rape that happened
three states away was enough to knock your socks off. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee, folks, because
believe it or not, those unbelievable stories have made their way to your local newspapers, to your community
and even to your backyard.
A resident of Cotten Hall was raped early in the spring semester last year, a story that was heard, talked about
and eventually forgotten. Many student homes were broken into over holidays and breaks from school, and most
recently on the list a man was beaten severely in the laundromat on Jarvis Street, which ultimately lead to his
death.
While there is no need to fear for your life from day to day, it is necessary that as students and residents of this
community, you are aware that there is a need to take precaution.
Mostpeople have the attitude that "things like that would never happen to them It is likely that those who
have suffered and faced crime right in the face thought the same thing themselves, proving once again that you
can never be too careful.
Don't assume that you will not be approached if you are walking through campus alone at night. Don't assume
that when you turn that corner, someone isn't waiting there for you. Don't assume that no one will turn your
doorknob with hopes of finding an unlocked room. Don't assume that safety is guaranteed, because these are
things that have happened in the past, and unfortunately, will more than likely happen again.
By being aware of the things that have happened and how they could have been prevented, you can save
yourself from being the next victim.
While the university has made an effort to provide more lighting and patrolling on campus, be aware that crime
does happen in places other than on ECU grounds. The ECU Police Department has developed a system to
better protect vacant homes over holidays and breaks. Take advantage of what they have to offer. Don't travel
alone at night, and if you have to, take advantage of the escort system offered by the university. Lock your doors,
and if you live in the residence halls, be especially careful about who you let come in behind you chances are
they have good intentions but is it really worth taking that chance?

We can't trust Bill anymore
How can anyone under
pressure of losing a job
perform that same job with
full competency? It isn't
humanly possible, and
Clinton has proven time and
time again that he is in no
way, shape, or form
super-human in the face
of temptation.
It is of no surprise to anyone that
Bill Clinton is presently caught in
one of the largest and most
complex predicaments of his
political career. Not only has this
predicament caused a media uproar
but it has also raised some very
important issues and questions
about the American political arena
and those politicians who dare to
enter.
The main Democratic spin
forges that since sex is not a crime
(between two consenting adults)
and that since a lack of basic morals
is neither a high crime nor a
misdemeanor, then we as
Americans should look the other
way and let the Clinton family work
this crisis out for themselves.
Besides, it's none of our business,
right?
Well, for arguments sake, let's
agree with this Democratic
reasoning. If we do intend to
overlook this scandal and wipe the
slate clean, we need to also
examine the ramifications of this
action for the present and for the
future.
There are many flaws that can
be cited right away with the
Democratic spin to this presidential
problem.
The law does not find marital
infidelity to be a crime, but the law
only touches the bare minimum of
right and wrong. Should our
president�the symbol and leader
of our country�only be held to a
bare minimum of right and wrong?
If so, should he have the power of
executive order, the command of
our military, the ability to make and
break treaties with foreign
countries? Clinton and any
president for that matter can not
have their cake and eat it too! He
can not be the most powerful man
in the world and then, when he
finds it convenient, claim he is like
you and me. He's not. Why?
Because HE constantly has access
to the trigger of our nuclear bombs
and we do not. If he wants to be
treated like any other infidel, then
he shouldn't have run for president.
It may be politically incorrect to
impose morals on anyone�even
the president. The fact he cheated
on his wife, perjured himself in a
court of law, and continually lied to
the American people (who voted
him into office) should not be what
is so disturbing. What is disturbing
is that Clinton has sent us a big red
flag. He has shown us through both
word and deed that he is neither
responsible nor is he reliable. What
he has done is indicative of his
future actions and of his present
logic and reasoning. This
transcends moral obligations within
his family. It is ignorant to believe
that he will be honest and
accountable in every area except
his personal life.
Clinton has obviously abused his
power. "Abuse of power" ushered
Nixon right out of the White
House. Even the Republicans
believed Nixon would not be able
to fully lead the country after such
intense scrutiny. For those who
feel that Clinton is doing a fine job
as president and thus should be
unscathed, consider the situation
abroad at the moment. Clinton
admits these events may have
never occurred had the foreign
leaders seen a strong country led by
a strong president. How can
anyone under pressure of losing a
job perform that same job with full
competency? It isn't humanly
possible, and Clinton has proven
time and time again that he is in no
way, shape, or form super-human in
the face of temptation.
Whether Clinton should be held
accountable for his morality�or
lack thereof is a hard call. The
public, press, and government
continue to rifle in ambiguity.
Moral lines are always gray and
subjective, so defining a moral
dimension to politics can get tricky.
A precedent needs to be set though
to insure the proper running of our
country now and for the future.

Give brotherhood a chance
If you left your wallet at your
fraternity house, and came
back to get it, would it be
there? Yes, with every dollar
and credit card still in it.
That's the difference between
us and just anybody.
It's that happy time once again. For
those of you who are not familiar
with Rush, here is a basic
description. Fall Rush is a time at
the beginning of the semester
when sororities and fraternities
invite students to meet the sisters
and brothers of their respective
organizations in hope to find
worthy people to join them.
I ask you to put aside all that
you have heard about fraternities
and come out and rush. I know as a
freshman I came to ECU with all
sorts of preconceived notions about
fraternities which came mostly
from watching Animal House and
believing other people who had
their own opinions of the Greek
system. I decided to go out by
myself in the Spring and find what
was right for me. I found a great
bunch of guys everywhere I went,
but finally narrowed it down to my
current fraternity. The decision to
pledge is something that I never
regretted.
The bond of brotherhood is
something that transcends the
ages. When I told my grandfather
that I was going to school, he asked
me to look into fraternities. Even
though he was disappointed that
we don't have his fraternity at this
campus, he impressed upon me
the importance of brotherhood and
the well rounded man. He
graduated in 1939 and still keeps in
touch with his brothers almost 60
years later.
Sure, people like to make fun of
the Greeks because they don't
understand us. Since we are closed
societies, and won't let anyone
walk in and join, they think that we
are up to something mischievous.
The truth is that not all students
possess the same ideals of high
moral standards or conduct that
brings credit to ourselves and our
fraternity. It is these high
standards that bring us closer to
each other and develop trusX
between the members. If anybody
walked into your house and sat
down in your chair and said that he
was your brother, would yoii
believe him? No. If you left your
wallet at your fraternity house, and
came back to get it, would it be
there? Yes, with every dollar and
credit card still in it. That's the
difference between us and just
anybody.
You should find the people who
are most like you. If you are a
leader, look for the leaders. If you
like to travel, look for the
adventurous ones. If you want to
drink everyday, go to Alcoholics
Anonymous. The Greeks wouldn't
have survived this long if
fraternities were held together by
alcohol. Many fraternities have
been around for over 150 years.
Sure, we have fun like the rest of
ECU, but when the week begins
anew, it really is nice to have
friends who encourage you to leave
school with a degree.

Library noises just plain scary
The point is that although
the Sonic Plaza is pretty
and new and slightly neat,
it is in no way
educationally, physically, or
emotionally beneficial to
anyone. What exactly
is its function?
Ahhh, school's back in session.
Your first walk through the campus
after a long summer's break should
be refreshing, a tinge nostalgic,
and only slightly bitter. I was,
however, scared poopless.
There seems to be something
strange afoot at the library, my
friends. I was innocently strolling
along on my way to GC when I was
suddenly attacked by a swarm of
cicadas from out of nowhere. Well,
I thought I was being attacked, so
I ran like hell swatting at my
backside and screaming like a
banshee that they were after me
and to call 911 because I was
allergic to their horrible, mangling
bites.
There were no cicadas. There
wasn't even a cricket to be seen
within ten feet of the entire
library- which I had ample
opportunity to investigate as I
searched for the books that I had
scattered in my flight. But there is
one hell of a sound system in that
there plaza.
Ok, I see the need to spend
money on certain things. Of
course, athletics bring in money for
the school, so funding them is
important (the fact that we then
spend the money earned on more
athletic funding can be ignored for
the sake of this argument.)
Building and maintaining the
classrooms that we receive the
education that we're paying out
the butt for is necessary and useful.
The Rec Center can even be
considered a good use of money, as
it gives us a place to exercise and
all that healthy crap- but I
probably shouldn't start talking
about the Rec Center, since I'm
sure that the thing about how
faculty-who did not pay for the
construction of the center as we
did with our tuition and fees- have
their own aerobics class that
students are not allowed in, which
during the summer was the only
one offered in the mornings. But
that's not the point.
The point is that although the
Sonic Plaza is pretty and new and
slightly neat, it is in no way
educationally, physically, or
emotionally beneficial to anyone.
What exactly is its function? Is it
there simply to impress
prospective students' parents? To
con the alumni into giving us more
money? I mean, a circle of TV
screens that aren't even functional
don't scream out "Come to TEC,
look how cool we are, give us more
money- it's an investment into the
future of our youth
You know, I could come up with
some better wastes of money than
that, if that's what the goal was.
How about we build a gigantic
sculpture out of platinum bars in
the center of the mall that depicts
a football player drinking a can of
Pepsi? It can be a tribute to the
people who own ECU.
Anyway, the damn thing scared
me again the other night on the
way home from my night class. I
had jungle flashbacks. My
roommates found me the next
morning hiding behind a bush
with mud streaked down my face
chanting about killing Piggy or
something- I don't really
remember any of it. But if you
haven't walked by there yet, don't
be afraid. Most of the noises aren't
real. Just thought I'd let you know,

In the 5th century B.(). Plato said: "
Music is a more potent instrument
than any other for education, and chil-
dren should be taught music before
anything else Today science is prov-
ing the truth of his statement.
Dr. Gbrden Shaw is a physi-
cist at (he I niversity
of California at
Irvine and

ner I )r.
Prances
Rauscher a
psychologist cur-
rently with the
University of Wisconsin at
Oshkosh have been studying what
thev term the "Mozart effect
Through the use of computers
Shaw and Rauscher were able to gen-
crate a model to see what occurs in
the neural firing patterns of the brain.
When they took the pattern and fed it
into a musical synthesizer they found
something startling. The synthesizer
produced music and not simply one
style of music. They found several
varying styles such as Baroque, folk,
and a style similar in form to Middle
Eastern. This information led the two
scientists to believe our brains com-
municate in music.
In 1993, Shaw and Rauscher con-
ducted a survey that found college
students that listened to Mozart
Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos for
at least 10 minutes scored around
eight and a half points higher on
Spatial-temporal tests, thus conclud-
ing that listening to classical music
enhances spatial reasoning, the ability
to perceive the visual world accurate-
ly, to form mental images of physical
objects and to recognize variations in
objects.
Research on the "Mozart FTfect"
also suggests that listening to Mozart
significantly increased the IQ scotes
of both high school and college stu-
dents. The College Board has deter-
mined that students who listen to
Mozart scored 51 points higher on
verbal portions of the SAT and 39
points higher on math portions of the
SAT.
At ECU the Music Therapy
Department has been very interested
in these findings as well as the current
research that is taking place in this
Held.
Dr. Michellle ilairston, Chair of
the Music Education Department at
ECU explains that the Mozart Effect
Composed by Nicholas Kalapos, Staff Wrifer
has the biggest effect on young chil-
dren who show results in as little as
six week where as older children
(between the ages of 10-11) tend to
plateau quickly.
When asked if ECU was doing
any studies in this new field
Hairston replied: "Music Therapy
students are required to do
practicums for their majors
(Practical applications of theories)
Hairston said.
Some of these studies have
found a connection between music
and Alzheimers patients abilities to
temember their pasts.
When music is played that the
patient recalls from their past it can
cause the patient to regain their lost
memories for a short period of time
(generally as long as the music is
playing).
Students have also used music to
help children with learning disabili-
ties and behavioral problems.
Though only Mozart music has so
far been found to have a profound
effect on people, others have had
limited success with other from of
music. Though they generally start
with music that is familiar to the
child the researches branch off into
other forms of music to expand not
only the child's musical knowledge,
but to help the child in subjects and
areas the child is not as adept.
There are many researchers cur-
rently trying to debunk these theo-
ries as well as prove them. If you are
interested in finding out more about
this research or related topic there
are many book being published that
are available at your local libraries
and bookstores.
According to the "Mozart Effect" listening to classical
music regularly may enhance spatial reasoning, but results are most commonly seen in young children. Test
scores have been proven to increase dramatically after listening to the classical music.

Atomic Physics and Noble Prizes
are his specialty and his ECU was
his prime target of interest,
Atomic physicist extraordinar,
Dr. Reinhold Schuch, was invited
to ECU to deliver two speeches
which were sponsored by the ECU
Department of Physics and Sigma
Xi science fraternity.
The first of the two speeches
gave participants an inside look at
the Noble Prize selection process,
entitled "How to Get the Nobel
Prize Schuch's second speech
described his own research on
atomic collisions and was entitled,
"Cold Collisions Between
Electrons and Ions
Schuch is a member of the
Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences, a committee that selects
recipients of the Noble Prize, and is
also a professor and chairman of the
Department of Atomic Physics at
Stockholm University.
This native of Heidelberg, West
Germany is the 1987 recipient of
the Roentgen Prize. An award
Schuch won for his studies on high-
ly charged ions.
Schuch's career in physics
stemmed from his curiosity and
interest in understanding natural
phenomena.
Schuch's career has been a suc-
cessful one and he feels that the
most important thing he has
achieved is the influence he has
been able to have over the devel-
opments and the new direction his
field of expertise, atomic physics,
has taken and will continue to take
in the futute.
"In Europe, new machines have
been built in this field, which was a
good part of my initiative Schuch
said.
According to Schuch, these
machines contain rings that store
ions and simulate what is happen-
ing in extreme conditions in nature.
The machines, which total close to
$50 million, allow physicists to
study natural phenomenon that
would otherwise be impossible.
In Schuch's earlier days, before
Stockholm University, he was
employed at a national Laboratory,
Oak Ridge.
The offer to head the depart-
ment of Atomic Physics opened
the door to many new possibilities
and challenges for the scientist
including the requirement to learn
German. After mastering the
German language, Schuch went on
to tackle other languages such as
English and French. In conjunc-
tion with heading the department,
Schuch also teaches classes in
Quantum Physics, Atomic Physics,
Labs and Undergraduate level
courses.
Schuch feels that teaching
requires a professor to show stu-
dents "a fact of nature or discovery
which can awake their curiosity to
learn about it

two students scalded
in hot showers
DURHAM (AP) Workers
replaced a faulty valve in the
plumbing of one dormitory at
North Carolina Central University
after two students were scalded
while taking showers.
Freshman Jcrmeir Stroud suf-
fered burns Sunday, and Junior
Adrian Taylor suffered second-
degree bums Aug. 14 when water
in the shower of the same dormito-
ry reached almost 200 degrees.
Hot water in the dormitory was
shut off until a new $600 unit was
installed on Wednesday. Physical
plant workers also will inspect
devices in other campus dormito-
ries to prevent
another scalding.
Stroud, who was
burned on the
chest, required
medical attention
from paramedics.
The incident
happened when
another student flushed a nearby
toilet and drew all the cold water
from the showers, said Angela
Terry, vice chancellor for student
affairs.
Taylor, a member of NCCU's
football team, also was burned on
his chest.
Smokies set ozone
pollution record
GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP)
Ozone pollution has reached record
levels in the
Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, officials said
Tuesday in issuing an advisory to
anyone with respiratory problems
or planning outdoor exercise.
Air monitoring stations recorded
the park's highest one-hour ozone
reading ever on Monday 124 parts
per billion at Cove Mountain.
That's three times natural ozone
levels.
The Smokies have experienced
25 days of unhealthy ozone levels
so far in 1998, tying a 1995 record.
The park on Monday measured
eight-hour ozone concentrations of
90 parts per billion at Clingsmans
Dome, 108 ppb at Cove Mountain
and 104 ppb at Look Rock. Federal
and state standards say anything
over 85 ppb is unhealthy.
Improving traffic flow
in America
SAN ANTONIO (AP) America's
highway traffic, up 30 percent over
the last decade, costs motorists 2
billion hours yearly in tie-ups, says
the Federal
Highway Administration. One
antidote is an advanced traffic man-
agement system called
TransGuide, which has reduced
accidents where it is in operation by
15 percent. It has also cut emer-
gency response time by 20 percent.
The system utilizes sensors, video
cameras and fiber optics to monitor
changes in traffic flows. It can
report current travel times for all
San Antonio highways and sug-
gest alternate routes, if necessary.

Blessed

HALETHORPE, Md (AP)
The Rev. Leo J. Larrivee has

from religious articles to family

request was novel.

Stephen Demczuk, president

The Raven, when he saw a
newspaper article about
Larrivee's parish. Demczuk gave
Larrivee a call, and the priest
agreed to bestow the blessing of
the brew.
Larrivee searched in vain in
"The Book of Blessings of the

An experience" like this is definitely an eye opener, for differ-
ent reasons depending on where you are. In my case I am refer-
ring ID Costa Ricaand my name is Charlie Sigmon by the way.
This is my sophomore year, but not at ECU of course. I am major-
ing in international business and minoring in Spanish. The study
abroad experience is a requirement for my intended major. The
one thing that an abroad experience definitely does for a student
is make them appreciate their roots. A growth in character and
morality also come with that I think. The first requirement in
studying abroad is keeping an open mind. Who knows what to
expect when traveling to a new place, with a different way of life.
I f you aren't willing to accept the fact that the people and way of
life may be a little different, then the experience won't last long.
I came to Costa Rica on the 5th of July with nothing more than
a sheet of paper describing my family and my luggage of course. I
wasn't worried though, since this would be my 3rd trip down. I
knew that if my host family wasn't there to greet me, that all of my
friends would be. Sure enough my friends were there and I had no
problems. I got along great with my family right from the start and
we are still doing fine. I spent the entire month of July relaxing
since classes didn't start until the 3rd of August I spent time with
my friends and did a little traveling and basically rested up for the
start of school. When classes finally came around I was very rest-
less and nervous, wondering how I could handle classes in anoth-
er language- For all those taking macroeconomics this semester,
don't sweat it, just think of me as I take it in Spanish. I don't think
that economics is simple in English, much less Spanish. I am also
raking international relations, literature and Society of Latin
America, and the History of Latin America. With those four sub-
jects I stay pretty busy. It is really
much, to tell you the truth, but we'll
see how it goes. When learning sub-
jects in another language, it is diffi-
cult because there is an extra step in
the learning process. First you have
to understand the language and
then the material. This is why it takes double the time to study.
Which is why they don't recommend for foreign students to take
more than four classes a semester. I am not alone though, there are
other students from all over the world that are in my same posi-
tion.
For those who have never been here, I suppose I should
SEUETTER. PAGE 11
(AP) The Golden Door,
Escondido, Calif has been rated
the No. 1 spa in America by the
Zagat U.S. Hotel, Resort and Spa
Guide every year since the survey
began in 1988.
It is popular among affluent
movers and shakers, especially
Hollywood types.
At $5,000 per week, the term
"affluent" is highly relevant.
If you don't have $5,000 to shell
out for a week at the Golden Door,
armed with "The Golden Door
Cookbook" and Chef Michel
Stroot's recipes, you can eat like a
spa visitor.
Unfortunately, the book can't
cook for you, put on your socks,
give you a massage, do your laun-
dry, attend to your spiritual needs,
or provide any of the other extras
the spa offers.
But the book does have tips on
how to translate the spa philosophy
into your home life. As you cook
your way through the book, at least
a little of its health-giving advice
may rub off. Scattered through the
pages is information on Stroot's fat-
and calorie-cutting techniques, and
on healthful eating practices.
For instance, each day guests at
the spa take a predawn walk, fol-
lowed by a simple breakfast of
foods with clean, fresh flavors.
At the Door, breakfast is served
on a tray so guests can enjoy a quiet
time before they start the exercise
and beauty regimens of the day. A
walk and time for quiet at the
beginning of the day are practices
you can incorporate in your own
life.
Rancho La Puerta, the Golden
Door's parent spa in Baja
California, Mexico, was founded in
1940 by Edmond and Deborah
Szekely as a summer camp for a
select group of friends from around
the world.
This group of friends gathered
to study exercise, nutrition and
other principles of a sound, simple,
healthy way of life. They paid
$ 17.50 per week and gladly pitched
their own tents. There was no run-
ning water and no electricity; the
group was dedicated to eating
nutritiously and in harmony with
the earth with an organic, vegetari-
an lifestyle. There was a nearby
mountain to climb and a river for
swimming in.
The gardens were developed
and today most of the organic food
served at the resort is grown on the
premises. As the Ranch became
more sophisticated and as the ben-
efits of fitness became better
known, increasing numbers of
Hollywood types frequented the
spa.

explain the acmospherc in which I
live. It is beautiful here with a very
tropical climate. It's very humid at
times and because this is the rainy
season, it rains all the time. It's
hard to keep a clean pair of shoes.
I have a volcano behind my house,
but it's not like it is in the back-
yard or anything. You can see it in
the distance. There is beautiful
vegetation everywhere, and it's
just a really neat place. Of course
with any tropical environment
comes large insects, snakes, or
what gave you. I have seen nasty
stuff I must say. Anyway, within
two to four hours in every direc-
tions is the ocean which is pure
paradise. I could go on all day but
you get the idea. Now the food is
one thing that I really enjoy, at
least some of it. I have had a few
bad experiences, but that comes
with entire experience. To be
honest, they eat some things here
that you couldn't even look at
when they were alive, like cow
tongue. I haven't tried it yet and
I'm not planning on it. We eat a lot
of rice here, you know, three meals
a day seven days a week. I mean
what do you eat if you get bored
with rice; more rice.
Like every country, this one
has its problems too. So far I have
been confronted with a gun, I have
seen people get beat up and
robbed in the street, and I have
seen the worst poverty of my life.
What do you expect, this is a third
world country. I think this trip is
the best thing that I could have
ever done. Now I can't take any-
thing for granted, but rather thank
the Lord God for what i do have. I
an having the time of my life but
of course it will be nice to see my
friends there at ECU and my fam-
ily again. I will be coming home
the first day of December, but will
be returning here in January for
another semester. I will start back
at ECU next fall. I suppose that I
will end here since you will be

Steve Losey
assistant spoits editor
The 1997 football season began
with high hopes. Star seniors such
as quarterback Dan Gonzalez, split
end Larry Shannon, and running
back Scott Harley returned to the
team. It was the first season since
ECU joined Conference USA and
many felt the time was right for
ECU to take a step up in the foot-
ball world.
The season ended with several
players nursing injuries and, at 5-6,
the Pirate's first losing season since
1993.
All eyes were on Gonzalez after
he proved that he could more than
fill Marcus Crandell's shoes. He
started every game in 1997 and
earned a spot high in the ECU
record book. His 3868 passing yards
marked him fourth in the books
and his 56.7 career percentage is
the best ever posted by a Pirate
quarterback.
Shannon missed the first four
games of the season after spraining
his ankle and breaking his fibula
during preseason training. He
placed second in career reception
yards with 1714 and fourth in career
receptions with 101.
The season started off on the
wrong foot with a loss to the West
Virginia Mountaineers. WVU took
an early lead with a field goal, but
the Pirates came back with a touch-
down and a field goal. The Pirate
defense couldn't find a way to stop
the Mountaineers running game
They scored all three touchdowns
on the ground. In the second half,
the Mountaineers tied it at 10
before the Pirates scored another
touchdown. ECU was unable to
score any more points or stop the
Mountaineer's drives downfield,
and WVU took the opener 24-17.
The following game against
Wake Forest's Demon Deacons,
the home opener, looked as if it
would be more of the same. A
record crowd of 38,031 watched the
Deacons pull in 21 points before
the Pirates got on the board with
two touchdowns. After the half, the
Pirates only allowed the Deacons
three more points while showing
spectacular determination to regain
the game. The final score was ECU
25, WVU 24.
That was the last game the
Pirates won before a five game los-
ing streak crippled morale on the
team. It began against the South
Carolina Gamecocks, who handed
the Pirates their first home shutout
since 1984. The attendance had
grown by almost a thousand from
the week before, but the Pirates
were powerless to stop Gamecock
quarterback Anthony Wright's
passes. Two touchdown passes
were thrown in the first half and
three field goals were kicked in the
second, making the score 26-0.The
Pirates only had four yards on the
ground and 89 in the air.
The slide continued into the
next game at Syracuse, where the
Orangemen gave the Pirates the
second shutout in a row, scoring 56
points to ECU's 0. The Pirates
broke the shutout streak against
Southern Mississippi, but not the

won 23-13.
The final game of the streak was
at Tulane, where the Green Wave
washed over the Pirates, 33-16.
Though it was a loss, it was the
most points the Pirates scored dur-
ing the streak.
On October 26, the homecom-
ing crowd witnessed a spectacular
turnaround in the Pirates' season.

ter, the Pirates had a healthy 20-3

Athletics welcomes new

Fresh faces look to help

senior writer
Along with structural growth,
improvement and continual
change, the athletic department has
included several additions to its
coaching staff. The new coaches
have several years of expe-
rience coaching at other
schools and are truly well-
seasoned.
"All the coaches added
are of high quality and
have good credentials
associate athletic director
Henry VanSant said.
"They should be good
assets to improvement of
die athletic program
Accepting the highest
number of new members
is the basketball depart-
ment. Dee Gibson left her
position as assistant at the
University of Nebraska
last season to replace
Anne Donovan as the
head women's basketball
coach. Gibson displayed
her impressive recruiting
ability when she filled two
assistant positions just
three days after her
acceptance.
; Jennifer Mitchell, a
former teammate of
Gibson's while at Wake
Forest, comes to ECU
after serving as an assis-
tant coach at Virginia
Commonwealth
University. There,
Gibson's duties of scout-
frg, recruiting and work-
ing with the post players
were similar to Todd Buchanan's
eludes prior to assuming one of the
assistant positions here.
"I am excited to be here at

think we could win, I wouldn't be

without the headache
These new members will each
be strengthening their successful
coaching histories as they plan for
the new year.
"I've put together a good staff
that's willing to work and I think
everybody's going to do a real good
job Gibson said.
In the basketball department,
two assistant coaches have joined
the men's team. Richard Morgan
left an assistant position at
Hampton University to come to
ECU. Morgan has
broad experience in
both coaching middle
and high school level
teams and playing pro-
fessionally. He spent
one season with the
CBA's Rockford
Lightning and another
year overseas in
Austria and the
Philippines.
Also joining the
men is Darren Savino,
who has spent the last
two years as an assis-
tant at St John's. Prior
to this position, Savino
also coached at a New
Jersey high school and
served as an adminis-
trative assistant at
Seton Hall one season.
Contributing this
year to the football
team are two new assis-
tant coaches, Dave
Huxtable and Steve
Shankweilcr. Huxtable
has been assigned to
working with the inside
linebackers. His colle-
giate coaching career
began back in 1982 at
Iowa State where he was
a graduate assistant.
Following this position,
Huxtable worked at
Independence C.C, Western
Kentucky and with the Pirates dur-
ing 1990-91.
In that same year, Steve
Shankweiler was a member of the
Barry Sanderson
MEN'S BASKETBALL
oson
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
football coaching staff as well.
This year he rejoins the Pirates as
the offensive line coach after leav-
ing his most recent position as
athletic director and head coach at
Griffen High
School in
Georgia.
The tennis
team is also
accepting a
new head
coach, Tom
Morris, who
has directed
the Barton
College tennis
program for
the last eight
years. Morris
enjoyed both
a successful
playing and
coaching
career at
Barton, being
a student-ath-
lete from
1976-79,
twice earning
All-America
recognition,
and while
coaching,
working with
eight Ail-
Americans
and eight con-
ference play-
ers-of-the-
year.
Finally for
the cross-country and track and
field departments, Matt Munson
comes from Columbia University
where he was assistant men's and
women's cross country and track
coach. Munson had the opportunity
to work with two of Kenya's ath-
letes and former Olympic team
members Charles Gitonga and
Erick Keter.
"This is actually an addition of a

The next game looked as if the
last place Louisville Cardinals
could slap the Pirates down after
the first half, where they led 31-14.
But in the third quarter, Dwight
Henry intercepted a pass and ran it
98 yards for a touchdown. Three
touchdowns and one field goal

second victory in a row with a sec-

final score was 45-31.
The game at Houston set many
high marks for the season and sev-

Gonzalez threw four touchdown
passes, his best ever, and Troy
Smith caught ten passes, a record
for him. Harley ran a season best

and forth between the Pirates and

a 50-yard shot to Smith for the
final touchdown, making the score

Coming off of a four game win-

Mario Scherhaufer

Athletes just out of college join
professional baseball teams with
dreams of fame and big bucks. But
the young player is not the only
one who will profit by being draft-
ed. The university he came from
will gain reputation and honor as
well.
ECU's baseball program has
always had a fine reputation of pro-
ducing top athletes. In 1993 out-
fielder Pat Watkins was taken as
the second pick of the Cincinnati
Reds in the Major League Baseball
draft The 32nd pick overall,
Watkins was a supplemental first
round pick for the Reds.
A native of Garner, N.C,
Watkins led the Pirates in batting
(.445), hit 19 home runs, drove in
57 runs and had 29 stolen bases.
With 29 extra base hits, Watkins
led the team with a .764 slugging
percentage.
Watkins' list of accolades for the
1993 season said it all. He was
named as the 1993 CAA Player- of-
the-Year, Baseball America first
team All-America, Mizuno second
team All-America and All-NCAA
Atlantic Regional. In addition,
Watkins was one of the 38 players
invited to the Team USA
Watkins' pick in the 1993 draft
was the highest ever for an ECU
baseball player. Previously, in 1973,
Tommy Torns was picked by the
Philadelphia Phillies in the fifth
round.
Watkins left school as a junior,

end of last year that there was
going to be some cleansing around
here. We needed to get rid of the
bad apples, and that's what hap-
pened over the course of the win-
ter, the spring, and the summer.
We've come together as one, as a
team, and that's going to help a

With several key players from
'97 gone, the Pirates younger play-
ers are having to step up. Senior
Ernest Tinnin, sophomore Bobby
Weaver, and redthirt freshman
David 'Garrard are going to rotate in
and out of the quarterback posi-
tion.
"Everybody wants to know,
who's showing the most talent,
who's got the best chance senior
center Danny Moore said. "The
simple truth is, all three guys bring
a little something to the game.
David Garrard, he's a big strong
kid, he's got a great arm, he's able
to run the ball. Ernest Tinnin, he
can throw the ball, he runs the ball
well. Bobby Weaver's the second
fastest guy on the team, he makes
great plays back there. He can
scramble. He'll take off, and get a
thirty-yard gain for you. I don't
foresee anyone having an edge
over anyone else, and I think that's
what anyone on the team will tell

ECU Ultimate Frisbee is gearing
up for a new season. The men's and
women's teams have both been
successful in the past and are look-

To recruit new players, the
teams held a summer league to get
people to come out and experience

successful as I had hoped because

For the men's team, this will be

ate students coming back and we
will play younger people. I am

Marlins in the 32nd round.
Though he was not picked
in June's draft, Massimo
got his chance to play pro-
fessionally after all. The
Pirates' short stop for the
past two seasons signed a
free agent contract with the
Atlanta Braves.
Nevertheless, his summer

A native of
Wilmington,
Williamson was previ-
ously named to the
1998 Louisville
Slugger Freshman All-

Collegiate Baseball.
He is the first freshman
in the history of the
ECU baseball program
to earn All-American
honors.
A 6-1 switch-hitter,
Williamson broke
almost every freshman
record at East Carolina
this past season.
Included in the new
marks were records for
batting average (.340),
home runs (13), hits
(66), runs (50), and
total bases (120).
Williamson also played
in 52 of the Pirates' 59
games last season and
paced the team with a
.619 slugging percent-
age and a .434 on-base
percentage. He tied
the single game-record
for doubles on two dif-
ferent occasions with
three in a game and
tied the then-school
record for hits in a contest with a 5-
5 performance against Radford.
So far it looks like Williamson is
on the right track to become a
future Pirate in Cooperstown.

Childhood
Comks retain their magic
Shannon Meek
Senior Writer
They live in other worlds. Worlds that arc filled with intense colors and
sophisticated stories. Worlds with heroes who soar beyond the limits of imagi-
nation. Worlds in which having a secret identity and saving the world is just an
ordinary day on the job.
They are comic book junkies, and they are frighteningh loyal to their art.
What is it about comic books that survives the journey through a genera-
tion's childhood, even into the college scene? What is it about a man in red
garb scaling walls, or Professor Reinstein emerging from his lab as Captain
America, that appeals to so many cultures and age groups?
The answer is simple. For many, comic books offer an enticing world of
escape.
Randall Miller, a student at ECU, began reading comic books at a young
age. According to MillerComics were ways that kids that did not have a lot of
power could have power. It provided a world that was more interesting than
getting beat up every day
The comic strip had humble beginnings. It was first developed in America
towards the end of the nineteenth century. The art form was first used as a tool
to draw customers into the Sunday edition to the newspaper and later evolved
into an icon of American Culture.
The five men directly connected with its birth, Richard Outcauh, William
Randolph Hearst, Joseph Pulitzer, James Swinnerston and Ruldoph Dirk, are
responsible for popularizing what is now a major part of American culture.
Richard Fdton was a staff illustrator at Joseph Pulitzer's The WorU'm 1895

Shortly after this first appeared, The
Worlds engravers were experimenting
with color inks. Eventually a gap-
toothed Urchin would appear as a con-
sistent character. The" Vellow Kid"
would go down in history as the first
comic strip.
As the "Yellow Kid" was making his
first appearance, William Randolph
Hearsts Journal American began fea-
turing a large panel entitled the "Little
Bears" drawn by a young James
Swinnerton. Later the strip would
develop personality by the addition of
the philandering tiger bachelor,
"Mrjadr
Although both features were the
progenitors of the American comic
strip, it would be Randolphs Dirk's
"Katzenjammer Kids" that would
become recognized as the first mod-
ern comic strip on its first appearance
on December 12,1897, in the Journal
American .Previously cartoons had
no in-pand dialogue. This new strip
had developed the word balloon which
indicated the speaker.
From these innovative strips the
fabric of the comic book was sewn and
the art form gradually achieved status
as a major part of American culture.
Comic books evolved as works with
deep themes, dark meaning and plots
that captivated the imagination. They
have not only become a part of
American culture but also college cul-
ture.
"In a lot of ways .comics have been
instrumental in presenting more
mature storylines I read a lot of
comics that disturbed me, but I
enjoyed it because all the entertain-
ment was all of one type. With
comics) you could get into these differ-
ent ways of being entertained and I
was thankful for itMiller says.
Comic book characters have grad-
ually become an integral part of tele-
vision. Wonder woman, Batman,
Superman, Incredible Hulk are just a
few of the comic book characters who
have brought their ongoing war with
evil into the living room.
Recently movies have also taken the
stories of comic books and their
heroes to a new forum. The Superman
and Batman movies have had a
tremendous effect on pop culture.
After the Batman films came a steady
stream of comic book- inspired flicks,
such as Spawn, The Crow, and the
newly released Blade. Even movies
with a mainly college-age cult follow-
ing, like Kevin Smith films, have bits of
comic book culture written into the
dialogue.
There is an attraction to comic books
on the college student level, and not
just because of popular movies.
David Tilly, who works at
Nostalgia Newsstand, believes that
this attraction of college students to
comic art is becauseGenerally college
students are the more intelligent types
who like to read. Comic books are
entertaining reading and are for those
who like to be entertained
Comic books are largely popular
not only because of their plots but also
their heroes. Comic book heroes are
ordinary people with extraordinary
lives.
"It was the comic book heroes that
enticed me when I was younger; I
wanted to break out of supernatural
bounds I think that comics have that
appealsays ECU student Mike Noh In
episode one of Batman, (Detective
Comics May, 1939) the hero is
described asThe'Bat-mana myste-
rious and adventurous figure fighting
for righteousness and apprehending
the wrong -doer.in his lone battle
against evil forces in society his
identity remains unknown
In comics, the heroes actually stand
for something. As representatives of
the dark, sinister world of comics
where good and evil are dearly
defined, Batman, Superman,
Wonderwoman and the villains they
fight not only haunt the movies and
TV screens of our culture, but also
entertain and make our lives richer.

Blade is the story of a group of hip
Gen-X vampires who decide it's time
to stop going to underground raves
and start taking over the world. Their
stodgy old leaders, who look and act
like the Mafia, are content to live
among humans, only preying upon us
at night, and to wear sensible Prada
pumps.
But one young leader, Deacon Frost
(Stephen Dorff), hatches a fiendish
plot to establish vampires as world
dominators once and for all. Insert
diabolical laughter.
Frost, who resembles nothing if not an
ex-member of Oasis, quickly gathers
his decadent super-model vampire
friends for a strike against tradition.
There is, however, just one large-sized,
leather-dad problem: a vampire
hunter who goes by the cryptic name
of Blade.
But, then again, everything about this
guy is cryptic so just get used to it.
Anyway, he uses lots of martial arts on
lots of hapless vampire thugs (yes,
thugs still wear black knitted tobog-
gans, no matter what movie they're in,
so you can tell them apart from the
main characters).

Band Review
Juicebaby knows how to draw a crowd
Christopher Salerno
StaffWriter
It was the first official Saturday night
in academia as the people headed to
The Corner for a Gen-extra dose of
Greenville's eclectic 3-piece,
JuiceBaby. As the place began to fill,
these heavy hitters started in on
their set. Their playing was excep-
tionally tight, well crafted, and full of
energy. Call it punk-funk, hardcore
or reggae, but everything that has
come and gone seemed to be balled
up in their bag o' tricks.
Lead guitarist and singer (ohn
Lauterer served up the heavy,
Helmet-like changes backed by the
solid drumming of Dallas Owenby
and exceptional bass runs of Randy
Miller. The band performed some
juicy numbers such as "Brave New
Wfarkfand "Mud, Blood and
Fruitjuice"(as heard on WZMB).
As far as vocal style goes, Lauterers
singing really lent itself to the mobili-
ty of the bands sound, as he wasn't
angry but rather upbeat and clear,
something not usually found in
music as loud and heavy.
This interesting form of blend
music is fairly new, especially for
Greenville. MTV would love it The
Pepsi generation seems to chug it
down. Maybe it should be mandato-
ry for incoming freshmen to experi-
ence JuiceBaby before entering col-
lege.
"There are a lot of good chances
hereGreenvillej"said bassist Randy
Miller. "Even though it's a small
town, the area supports its music.
Lots of people care Miller also cited
clubs like Peasant's Cafe and The Attic
contributing to the chances offered
for newer bands like JuiceBaby.

Bucknefs Since infused
with introspection
Caleb Rose
StaffWriter
If we humans should collectively
feel sorry for any one person, it is
Richard Buckner. Since, the third
effort by Buckner, is a continuance
of his prior records. But the flame
inside from not being heard has
evidendy ignited into a wild-fire
of torn emotions and anger in his
latest work.
Please allow me to paint a picture
of this guy. At first glance, he looks
like some poor fella who lives in a
one room, run-down apartment,
has no job, no food, and one little
guitar that he uses to tell this
story. When he performs it is usu-
ally alone or accompanied by only
one other musician who is proba-
bly playing a steel guitar. He keeps
all of his equipment in an old
raggedy suitcase and travels to his
gigs via taxi cab. His songs are
merely his own tears expressed as
music.
This somberness is still expressed
in Since, but it is conveyed differ-
ently from the usual solo guitar
and sad shakey voice. Since
embodies songs that are delivered
along with a full band (meaning at
least guitar(s), bass, drum kit, and
sometimes piano). For instance,
the opening track, tided "Believer
opens with a slightly distorted
guitar and brutally voiced vocals
as he screams "Believe me!
Believer
On the following track, "Faithful
Shooter Buckner reacquaints
himself with the sadness that is so
common in his music, and he
does this even with the power of
the full band. The song is one that
could easily have been performed
solo but is reinforced probably for
the better by this backing group
bagged to record the album.
This incorporation of a full band
is not a first for Buckner; he has
used this format on previous
recordings, but none have the
essence that the music on Since
reveals. Considering most musi-
cians choose to stay with the roots
they have planted, it is not a sur-
prise to hear a handful of songs
that are performed solo while his
guitar gently weeps (apologies to
Mr. Harrison).
"Slept" is one example. One can
easily picture Buckner sitting up
in that lonely apartment strum-
ming a few chords as he starts this
insomniac song with the words
"Awake tonight I'll, fall away to
sometime until we meet
" Slept" is followed by another sole
instrumental guitar piece titled
"Pico Although this is a complex
and appropriate song for this
record, it is too nostalgic of
Buckner's past recordings. It
seems that there is at least one
song on all three albums that fea-
ture a fast paced, finger picked
guitar mumbling a pleasant
melody for only a few seconds.
Some may find significance in
songs like "Pico" but in this case it
is more than likely just a "filler"
song used to take up room and
make the track listing longer.
As obvious as it is that Richard
Buckner has taken a dramatic
turn in his song arranging, he is
still excelling as a songwriter. He
has also shown good taste in
musicians to fill in the album by
recruiting the likes of Syd Straw,
Dave Schramm, and Son Volt
pedal steel guitarist Eric
Heywood.
Perhaps it is good to jazz up your
musical style and try new things
just as farmers are told that they
should rotate their crops in order
to keep the nutrients in the soil
from depleting. In this case, and at
this rate, Richard Buckner will be
around for a long while.
Note: Richard Buckner will be
playing at the Cat's Cradle in
Carrboro, NC, on September 6.

More area movie options to
choose from than ever before
Nina M. Dry
StaffWriter
Its the weekend and what's a better
way to spend it than by going to see a
good flick with some friends? The
question is'where to go?" Vll here is
the low down of what Greenville has
to offer and which places are best for a
night at the movies.
The Carolina East 4 is located in the
Carolina East Shopping Center on
Memorial Drive. Carolina East was
known as the nicest theater in
Greenville for awhile, but has recently
been knocked down to number two
by Carmike 12 (more on them later).
Unlike Park, Carolina East shows
newly released movies
in their four theater
establishment They
also have discounted mati-
nees which will cost you $4.00 a
pop instead of the regular $6.00 for
evening showings. The only problem
about Carolina East is transportation.
Sorry kids, If you don't have a car it
will be pretty hard getting to the the-
ater.
Then there is the Buccaneer Triple
on Arlington Blvd. They have recendy
changed their format. Instead of
showing the newly released, they
show the second string films.
Also they have matinee show-
ings on the weekends beginning
around 1 p.m. and evening show
ings every night. The best part about
it is that it only costs a dollar to get in
any time. It is about a seven minute
drive from campus, but for those of
you without a car, there is no need to
worry because ECU'S Blue bus will get
you there. Just get off at
theK-Mart

ter. It is right
behind the Office

ater is the Carmike
