Reward offered in February's Cotten Hall rape
Investigation continues,
no suspects, no leads
Steve i.oskv
F S KIMTOR
The Chancellor's office is offering
a $25(H) reward for information in
the February rape of a Gotten Hall
resident. Crime Stoppers of Pitt
County later announced they will
also pay up to $25(K) for informa-
tion.
In February, at the beginning of
Sexual Assault Awareness Week, a
21-year old resident of Cotten Hall
was allegedly raped in her room by
a stranger. It is not known how the
alleged rapist gained entrance to
the residence hall.
The Sunday after the rape, the
victims possessions were found at
the corner of 4th and Jarvis.
The victim is reportedly recov-
ering well, according to Tom
Younce, Assistant Director of the
ECU Police Department.
Since the crime occurred, police
have interviewed over 250 people
looking for leads in the case. There
still have not been any sus-
pects in the case.
"We've run into a stone
wall Younce said.
The State Bureau of
Investigation (SBI) and the
Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) offered
assistance in the investiga-
tion. The SBI's Crime
Scene Unit searched the
victim's room for six hours,
looking for fibers, hair, fin-
gerprints and body fluid,
with the intent of perform-
ing DNA tests on any evi-
dence.
Students were stunned February when a student
was raped in her Cotten Residence Hall room.

"DNA tests have not been
completed yet said Detective
Michael Jordan. "We're still
working on that
The investigation slowed
down over the summer, but
now that school is back in ses-
sion, police officials are hoping
to come closer to a break in the
case. The police hope the
reward will spur a new lead to
follow. Last Sunday and
Monday, Crime Stoppers ran a
segment on the case on its tele-
vision show. Anyone with infor-
mation in the case can call the
ECUPD at 328-6787, Crime
Stoppers at 758-7777, or leave
information at the ECUPD web
site.
"We're hoping someone could
come forward with information that
could help us solve the case
Younce said.
The information can be left
anonymously, so people with wor-
ries about coming forward may do
so without being identified. When
callers leave a message on the
Crime Stoppers phone line, they
receive an identification number
that they will use to collect
any reward.

Some students literally sweated over
their grades during an air conditioning
failure in the Brewster building last week.
According to Dr. George Harrell, of
ECO Facility Service, the cause of the air
conditioning problem was due to a
burned out motor. Harrell called the
problem, "a complete failure
"It took wo days to fix it Harrell
said.
Air conditioning was eventually
restored to Brewster on Thursday morn-
ing.
For professors and students still trying
to catch up from the days missed after
Hurricane Bonnie, the air conditioning
problem became another set back.
Professors said learning conditions were
severely compromised due to August
temperatures upwards of 90 degrees
Fahrenheit.

Tipper Gore, wife of Vice President Al
Gore visited the ECU campus last
Thursday. Gore observed ECU's Child
Development Lab and was present at
the round table discussion held that day.
The discussion, held in the auditori-
um of ECU's nursing building, focused
on child care and child development in
the United States today. Among the lis-
teners of the discussion were some of
Greenville's community leaders such as
representatives from East Carolina
Vocational Center and Cornerstone
Christian Church Day Care. US
Representative Eva Clayton (D-NC)
accompanied Tipper Gore in her visit to
ECU.
Gore is generally known for her pro-
motion of mental health and child
development causes. In Congress,
Clayton is a staunch supporter of school
safety and child development. They
found a common ground in their respec-
tive causes.
The round table discussion started
with Chancellor Eakin welcoming
everyone to the event and thanking
Gore and Clayton for coming.
"67 percent of working families have
children under the age of 6, therefore
there is an imminent need for child care
The Second Lady showed her dedication to children's issues Thursday when she visited ECU.

and early child development in the US
today Clayton said.
Gore offered her support of Clayton,
who is running for the Democratic nom-
ination for North Carolina's
Representative seat in Congress.
"We appreciate, Eva, your leadership
in the field of child care in Congress and
emphasis on education and the value of
teachers in our society Gore said.
"The family as a whole must be looked
at and valued in this country
The word value was reiterated many
times during the conference by both
Gore and Clayton.
"We read a lot about school safety
and value and to advocate safety, Eva's
iniatives have to be supported Gore
said.
The discussion lasted about 30 min-
utes. After the round table discussion,
Gore and Clayton left for Raleigh for
another conference.

Halls reigned supreme in this year's
King and Queen of the Halls competi-
tion.
The King and Queen of the Halls
competition culminated in front of
Mendenhall last week as approximately
2,700 students competed in the wacky
games part of the festivities.
The King and Queen of the Halls, a
collaborative event between
Recreation Services and University
Housing, is a competition between
campus residence halls involving 17
events in which individual mem-
bers from each hall compete. The
events include such things as The
Flipper Race, Tricycle Relay Race,
Bucket Ball, and the World's Largest
Slip and Slide contest.
"The King and Queen of the Halls is
a tremendous tradition for ECU said
Todd King of Recreational Services. "It
also sets the tone and spirit for all the res-
idents on campus
The halls are judged on three differ-
ent criteria. The first criteria for compe-
tition is the percentage of residence in
attendance, the second criteria is the
number of points each hall accumulates

activity and the last criteria is the scores

This year Scott Hall was named King
of the Residence Halls and Greene Hall
was named Queen. Aycock, a coed hall,
was given the Scepter award.
There are also individual prizes given
during King and Queen of the Halls. For

It's a hard life for maritime
history students who left last
week to spend several weeks
studying in Bermuda, but
somebody's got to do it.
Maritime history students
have left to study underwater
archaeology in Bermuda, an
experience for which they
receive course credit.
Assistant Professor, Gordon
Watts, will be leading them
on the documentation of the
Hunter Galley, a Bermuda
sloop.
The Bermuda Maritime
Museum has provided the
students with a place to stay,
air compressors, and a dive
tank. The facility also has a
keep pond where boats can
be stored safely.
Graduate student Chris
Southerly is doing his thesis
paper on the Hunter Galley.
"This is the first boat that
can be said to be a Bermuda
made sloop because it is made
of Bermuda cedar, which
makes it stronger and more
durable Southerly said. "We
are going to map the area by
using photographs and video
tapes. In addition to the regu-
lar documentation we will
make a photo-mosaic, which
are overlying photographs of
the entire area. We will try to
find out details such as struc-
turally how they put it
together, which basically
shows us the techniques the
Bermuda builders used that
made their boats so unique
According to ECU mar-
itime archaeologist Frank
Cantelas, the research team
has published journals of their
findings from previous years.

Members of ECU's Reserve
Officers Training Corps (ROTC)
were presented awards for their
achievements in academics and
physical fitness at 3 p.m. last
Wednesday.
The awards ceremony is held at
the beginning of every semester. It
recognizes accomplishments over
the course of the previous semes-
ter. Lt. Col. Michael Loftin pre-
sented the awards to the recipients.
"Before he handed out the
awards, he Lt. Col. Loftin had
words of encouragement for all of
us Cadet Taneil Green said. "As
he handed each person their
award, he said things like, 'Keep it
up, I'm sure you'll get another one
for the same thing next year
Four ROTC members received
Cadet Fitness Ribbons for scoring
280 and above on the Army
Physical Fitness Test (APFT).
Cadet Jason Gibbs scored 284,
Cadet Mary Collins scored 289,
and Cadet Latrice Clark scored
283. Green added the Army
Physical Fitness Badge to her
Cadet Fitness Ribbon with score of

Aaron O'Keef, Kenneth Parker
and David Parks earned the
ROTC 4.0 Academic Ribbon.
"It's difficult trying to stay on
top in ROTC along with all your
other classes Douglas said.
Three days a week, ROTC
cadets rise early for their 6 a.m.
physical training. Staying in shape
is important for when cadets go to
basic camp prior to their junior
year. ROTC cadets also have to
know basic military knowledge
and history.
Cadets Deca, Knox, and Parker
were recognized for maintaining
cumulative GPAs of 3.5-4.0.
Cadets Poe, Dawn Lee, Collins,
and Cheryl Flores also were noted
for earning GPAs of 3.2-3.4.
Cadets Matthew Malone and
O'Keef were recognized for their
completion of the ROTC Basic
Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
O'Keefs performance at Fort
Knox earned him a $2000 scholar-
ship.
Cadets Joseph Vaccaro and
Stephen Koehler were promoted
to Second Lieutenant this sum-
mer. Vaccaro is to report to Signal
Corps and Koehler is to work for
Military Intelligence.
Staff Sergeant (SFG) Chris
Howard was also promoted to
Master Sergeant.
Cadets Collins, Hawkes, Jason
Dickey, Yvette Campbell, Oskar

Advanced Camp '98. Anyone com-
pleting Advanced Camp is eligible
to skip their sophomore ROTC

the Old Spaniard and the

mented an 18th century British
collier, a French frigate sunk in
1838 named the L'Herminie and
the Mary Celestia and the Nola,
two Confederate blockade run-
ners sunk during the Civil War.
"We have worked on many
different kinds of vessels or ship
wrecks over the years Cantelas
said. "A ship that was actually
headed to Jamestown called the
Sea Venture, we worked on a few
years ago. And later ships, like the
colonial stuff. There are even Civil
War wrecks in Bermuda. There
are really a number of Civil War
wrecks over there, such as block-
ade runners
Graduate student Sarah

sis on a nearby composite ship
wreck.

and most of them would have
been sheeted with copper
Milsted said. "These types of
ships would have been used
because the iron ships had a prob-
lem with fouling. Most of these
composite boats were built in the
middle to late 19th century.
Another type of ship I will be
studying is a composite clipper
ship called the 'Cutty Sark made
famous by its picture on beer bot-

MORNINGSTAR CALLED

IT'S NOT EVERY DAY
YOUGETACOMPIIMENT
LIKE THAT.
All financial companies charge operating fees
JL M. and expenses�some more than others. Of
course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better.
That way, more of your money goes where it
should�towards building a comfortable future.
We make low expenses a top priority.
As the largest retirement system in the
world'�a nonprofit company focused exclu-
sively on the financial needs of the educational
and research communities � our expenses are
among the lowest in the insurance and mutual
fund industries.1
In fact, TIAA-CREF s 0.31 ave'rage fund
expenses are less than half of the expense charges
of comparable funds.3 It's why Morningstar�
one of the nation's leading sources of annuity and
mutual fund information � says, "At that level
TIAA-CREF is cheaper than any other
variable annuity policy, and is even compet-
itive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes,
though it offers far more benefits1
"TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the
financial services industry
Of course, expenses are only one factor to
consider when you make an investment decision.
Morningstar also noted our commitment to
"consumer education, service" and "solid
investment performance Because that can
make a difference in the long run, too.
At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would
like to spend more in retirement, not on their
retirement company. Today, over two million
people count on that approach to help them
build a comfortable and secure future. So
can you. To find out more, call us at

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House's senior Republican and
Democratic leaders will meet after
Labor Day to discuss how to han-
dle an independent counsel's
report anticipated to outline allega-
tions of impeachable offenses by
President Clinton.
The meeting, requested by House
Democratic Leader Dick
Gephardt of Missouri in a tele-
phone conversation Friday with
Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA),
would be the first between the two
on the issue. Meanwhile, the Rules
Committee released a proposed
House procedure for dealing with
an impeachment probe.
All told, the events were a sure sign
that Congress could become preoc-
cupied by Independent Counsel
Kenneth Starr's report on Clinton's
relationship with former intern
Monica Lewinsky and other mat-
ters Starr investigated.
"All of us might be so distracted
and consumed by this issue that we
fail to pay proper attention to other
very serious issues that are emerg-
ing in the world said Sen. Max
Cleland (D-GA).
Senate Majority Leader Trent
Lott (R-MS), sounded a similar
note today in the Republican
Party's weekly radio address, say-
ing that in the current unsettled
economic and foreign policy envi-
ronment, "it is especially impor-
tant that Congress exercise leader-
ship in the weeks ahead
"We are determined to maintain,
and justify, your confidence, no
matter what else may happen in
other branches of government he
added.
Starr has not said when his report
might be forthcoming, but
Democrats want a plan in place
that protects both parties and
decides such matters as staff allot-
ment.
"Mr. Gephardt had a productive
phone call with the speaker
Gephardt spokesman Erik Smith
said "In his conversation, the speaker
pledged that Democrats would be
partners in the decision-making
process and agreed to a meeting on
Wednesday to oudine procedures for
dealing with a report to Congress
He quoted Gephardt as adding, "If
this process must begin, it is among
the most serious responsibilities
Congress will undertake and it must
be conducted in a truly

ECU's decision in favor of Pepsi
breaks my heart. Not only will I
never be able to enjoy an ice cold

but now I have less respect for this

they not believe that variety is the

guessing here since no formal

But, more than likely, they
probably just care about the $7
million and all the new accesories
they can put in Minges with the

It seems to me that ECU has
compromised its standards to gain a
little short-term economic profit.
Well, let me just say this: when all
the Coke fans who would rather
die of thirst before drinking Pepsi
quit buying at the Wright Place, I
just hope ECU realizes what

Men really are as bad as you think
What is harder? Convincing
a group of scientists that
your idea for an artificial
atmosphere will provide the
earth with 10 billion more
years of existence
orconvincing everyone in
the room that your penis is
12 inches long?
Howdy readers!
Fourfiveokay, you're all
here. Recently, a vast array of
complaints about the male
population has risen from the
mouths of the female student body.
For starters, many girls feel that
males (see also: guys, men) have a
real problem with communication.
Next, it was brought to my
attention that males (see also:
bastards, playahz, liars) are not
good at understanding the needs of
a woman. Finally, it was said that
males (see above) are bad liars.
In defense for my fellow man, I
will say this. We are not that
terrible at lying.
What is harder? Convincing a
group of scientists that your idea
for an artificial atmosphere will
provide the earth with 10
billion more years of
existenceorconvincing
everyone in the room that your
penis is 12 inches long? I think we
all know the answer to that. (Hint:
its the second one).
While were on the subject of the
hard topic of penises, or "peni let
me shed some light on the subject.
Guys, remember when we were
kids and everyone around us had
bikes? Well, my generation of 8
year olds suffered from a major case
of bike envy, especially to Tom
Floyd, the neighborhood kid that
owned a GT Diamondback, the
king of the two-wheeled, pedal-
action vehicles.
Then, I grew up and got a
drivers license and, all of a sudden,
bike envy had been replaced with
car envy. At that point, I was
driving a Jeep Wagoneer with wood
paneling on the sides. As you
would suspect, it was hardly the
"honey wagon" that I would've
hoped for. In the end, I blew up
the engine of the Wagoneer,
perhaps on purpose. Then, I got
my Camaro and I was just pleased
as punch.
I was set from that point, until I
got to college and I was confronted
with a brand new envyyou
guessed it. It was at a party when I
finally learned the difference
between a guy and a man. A guy
will tell you that his penis is very
large. A man will not only tell you,
but also show you, but not until
after a series of unraveling and un-
taping.
Back to the subject in
handerat hand. About the
understanding of the woman's
needs, all I can tell you is this.
Women must realize that men,
even though we have technological
abilities out the wazoo, our
sensitive abilities are on the same
chart as a nectarine. Males are not
yet evolved from the hunting prey,
eating with our hands, drawing on
walls idealism that we were born
with. In most cases, if you were to
bring up something about your
needs to a man, he would look you
in the eye and say, very
convincingly and lovinglyhuh?"
Finally, the communication
thing has always hindered
malefemale relationships.
Recorded history tells us that even
in the time of Anthony and
Cleopatra there was turmoil, as
shown in this exchange
Cleopatra: Marcus, there is a
snake in my room and I want you
to come kill it.
Anthony: It will still be there
when the game is over, won't it?
Snake: CHOMP!
Cleopatra:
AAAOOEEEEEE
Anthony: Tell me about it!
Ground rule double, my asp!
So you see, women and men arc-
very different, not just in body
style, but in logic. In essence,
gender will always be a mystery
regarding how people think and
feel. Maybe, in some far off day,
we will figure out that the whole
thing is pointless, and that we
should stop worrying about it and
just love each other, and the world
will be a better place. Oh, and
mine is about 10 inches longjust
trust me on this one.
And I honor the man who is willing to sink Half his present repute for the freedom to think, and
, when he has thought, be his cause strong or weak, will risk t' other half for the freedom to speak

TEC would like you to take part in a little experiment. Our hypothesis is that college Joe
and college Sally have changed with the information age and that while primitive versions of
them still exist they are neither great in number or well respected by their peers. In order to

13 students, 2 professors
make trip across world
Nina M. Dry
SENIOR WRITER
This is a true story of 13 students and two
professors, privileged enough to go to a
foreign land, to see what happens when
people don't speak their language and
start gettingok, so it's not The Real
World, but it's a wonderful opportunity a
handful of students experienced this
summer.
There was talk of a trip to Russia going
around in the Communications depart-
ment early February. Andrew Phibbs, a
senior at ECU, said that professors began
passing around flyers and posting them j
throughout the Erwin Building.
"Dr. Festus Eribo put a lot of work
and effort into this trip said Danielle
Pscherer, an ECU senior. "He corre-
sponded with St. Petersburg everyday
"Dr. Eribo put his research on hold for
about six months to plan for this trip
Phibbs said. "He sent us information
either by phone or e-mail throughout the
summer. He put 120 percent into this
trip
On Friday, June 26, the students and
professors, Dr. Festus Eribo and Alma
Corley, left for Russia arriving there on
Sunday at 4 a.m.
"I flew from Raleigh to Dulles Airport
in Washington, D.C Pscherer said.
"From there, we flew on Aeroflot, a
Russian airline straight to Moscow, and
then from Moscow to St. Petersburg
Upon arriving at St. Petersburg, they
moved into their new home sweet home
for the next few weeks.
"We stayed in an apartment type
place Pscherer said. "There were other
St. Petersburg residents who lived
there also
For the first two
weeks, the
kids

St. Petersburg
State University, taking
the intensive study journalistic
courses. International Communications
and International Public Relations.
Pscherer said their classes were taught in
Russian so St. Petersburg University
hired a translator for them.
"We had a different lecturer each
day Pscherer said. "I thought it was
very interesting way to teach classes
For those two weeks they all went to
school six days a week from 10 a.m. until
2 p.m.
"We even went to
school on July 4 Phibbs
said. "It was alright
because we received cred-
it for the classes
After classes, the stu-
dents decided to check
out the scenery in St.
Petersburg. Even though
none of them spoke
Russian, it did not dis-
courage them in their
excursions.
"Wc did a lot of sign
language Pscherer said.
"If wc pointed they knew what we want-
ed. After awhile we began picking up a
few Russian words like 'thank you,
please, and how much?
"Seven of us went around the area by
ourselves Phibbs said. "Wc didn't
know the language, but the people were
helpful and we didn't have problems
Some of the places they visited were
the National Press Institute, the Itar-Tass
which is the Russian equivalent of the
Associated
Press, and the
Hermitage, the
largest museum
in the world.
"If you look
at everything in
the museum for
exactly two

whole thing Phibbs said.
There were things that were quite
similar to the States such as McDonalds,
Pepsi, Nike, Benneton and even the
music.
"They listen to American music
there Pscherer said. "There were some
Russian stations too, but they're really
into American techno music
Their modes of transportation consist
of taxis, buses, and the metro (what we
would call a sub-
way). With over 4
million people living
in St. Petersburg, it
was just like any
other metropolitan
city.
"Every morning
we took the bus to
school and they
were so crowded
Pscherer said. "We
had to watch out for
each other to make sure all 13 of us got on
the bus
Of course there were things that we do
not have in the states such as Borsche, a
type of beet soup which is big over in
Russia, water with or without gas, and the
drinking or smoking prohibitions.
"There are no age limits to who can
smoke and drink here Phibbs said.
On their last night before heading
back to the States, they flew to Moscow,
visited some more sites, and stayed at the
Marriott Hotel. All in all, the students
had a fabulous time that they will not
soon forget.
"I would love for other students to get
the opportunity to go Phibbs said. "We
all had a great time, got to know each
other really well, and I would definitely
do it again if I could
"If it wasn't for all the hard work of Dr.
Eribo, we would not have have such a
great time Pscherer said. "It was a
wonderful experience

Headache pain most often
caused by everyday stess factors
45 million Americans
suffer from pain
Erin Alderman
STAFF WRITER
Do you suffer from the occasional
headache pain or a constant
pounding in your head that makes
you unpleasant to be around?
Headache suffers you're not
alone. Every year over 45 million
Americans suffer from reoccurring
headaches and 16 to 18 million
experience migraine pain. There
arc even whole chat rooms and on
line support groups dedicated
solely to persons suffering from
headaches.
Where is all this pain coming
from? The main cause of many
headaches is stress, which can be
affected by depression, anxiety and
other emotional factors.
Dr. deBeck, a neurologist at stu-
dent health, believes that many of
these headaches can be avoided
and recommends seeing a doctor
for a sure diagnosis and then setting
up an appointment at the counsel-
ing center on campus for counsel-
ing, where you can learn better
Junior communications major Jon Godwin understands well the everyday stresses that
can lead to headaches.

time management skills.
Some other common triggers
that may bring on headaches are;
certain foods, changes in the weath-
er, a change in sleep patterns or the
use of alcohol and heavy smoking.
A common headache felt by
many college students is the ever
dreaded morning after, hangover
headache. This of course can be
avoided by not drinking.
Headaches can be divided into
two main groups: primary and sec-
ondary.
Primary headaches, which make
up about 90 of all headaches,
include tension - type migraines
and cluster headaches. Secondary
headaches which are pretty uncom-
mon in college age students occur
as a result of a serious medical con-
dition such as a bacterial infection,
like in meningitis, a head injury or
it may be the sign of cerebral hem-
orrhaging.

Faculty, alumni net

Erin Alderman

The next millennium. Sound
scary? Even more scary when you
think about having to find a job in
this Jetson's futuristic nightmare?
As computers take over a lot of the
menial labor jobs man used to do, a
high school and a college degree
will become a must. Along with this
a degree, future employers will also
be looking for computer and tech-
nology skills.
But wait, before you run out and
change your major to something in
the computer field you might want
to finish reading this article.
According to Dr. Jim
Westmoreland, Director of Career
Services, students should still
choose a career where their talents
and interests best fit.
"If a person has a passion in their
career fiald, they will find a way to
use their skills Westmoreland
said.
Westmoreland believes that in
order to be ready for the next mil-
lennium students in every major
need to increase their computer
skills and take advantage of the net
working available through faculty
and alumni here at ECU. By talk-
ing to and being introduced to
employers in the job market you
have a lot better chance of making
connections in your field of study
and this will help you later as you
enter your field of interest.
Many of the core curriculum
classes available at ECU are also
helping students prepare-for the
next millennium. Everything from
English to your Health course is
preparing you for your future by
enhancing your speech and think-
ing skills. Liberal arts also provide a
great opportunity for students to
think and speak on their feet- All
these skills learned in the core cur-
riculum combine to form the best
ground work for future skills to
grow from.
"There's a lot of work to be
done Westmoreland said.
He believes that all the majors at
ECU are preparing students to fill
fields where employees are need-
ed. The skills obtained in each
field are different�so different tal-
ents can be enhanced.

Headache
continued from page 1
occur after a mind boggling test or
a really long day? Your headaches
can most likely be classified as a
tension headache, the most com-
mon form of headache, which
affects close to 75 of the popula-
tion.Tension headaches are charac-
terized By a steady ache affecting
both sides of the head and can nor-
mally be treated with a pain reliev-
er such as aspirin.
If your headaches are more
severe you may be suffering from
migraine pain. Migraines, although
a lot less common, affect about
12 of the population.
Of migraine suffers three out of
four are females. Migraines nor-
mally occur only on one side of the
head and most are accompanied by
nausea andor a sensitivity to light
and sound. Migraine attacks are
normally'occasional but can occur
more than once a week. Because
migraine pain and triggers differ
from patient to patient finding
treatment for migraine suffers is
often times hard.
If the headaches occur fre-
quently there are pills that can be
taken daily to reduce the frequen-
cy and severity and pain relieving
agents can also be used. Some
women migraine suffers may be
surprised to know that their birth
control pills may be the culprit and
by simply quitting them and find-
ing another method of birth control
they can treat their headaches.
A third type of primary
headaches that affect only about
one percent of the population are
cluster headaches.
Of the suffers, 85 are male.
Cluster headaches occur in groups
that may last a week or up to a
month. Each attack is brief, lasting
only about an hour or two, but
extremely painful. The pain is nor-
mally centered around one eye,
which may become inflamed or
watery. A history of heavy drinking
or smoking is often associated with
cluster headaches.
Not sure if you should see a doc-
tor?
deBeck warns that, "the severi-
ty, presence of a fever, previous
headache history or a family history
of migraines may be warning
signs that your headache could be
something more serious.
deBeck recommends that you
contact a doctor at once if you suf-
fer from any of the following condi-
tions: you have a stiff neck andor
fever; your headache is accompa-
nied by shortness of breath; you are
dizzy, or have slurred speech; your
headache occurs after a head injury
or is triggered by exertion, cough-
ing, bending or sexual activity.
If you have any questions or
concerns about your headaches
deBeck warns against self diagnos-
ing and recommends seeing a doc-
tor as soon as possible for a proper
diagnosis.

Three-year-old drives off in
grandmother's car
HYANNIS, Mass. (AP) � Three-
year-old Adam Wood's driving
debut was marked by squealing
tires, swerving around a tree and
then plowing into a van. Not bad for
his age.
The tot escaped without injury,
arrest or even a bad mark on his dri-
ving record.

The toddler got into his grand-
mother's Isuzu Trooper on
Tuesday, apparently put the key in
the ignition, started the engine,
shifted into "drive" and gunned it.
Damage to both vehicles was
moderate, authorities said.
John James, who lives next door
to Adam's grandmother, said he was
cleaning his basement when he
heard what he thought was a neigh-
bor trying to fix a boat engine.
Then he heard the screech of
tires and a crash.
When he approached the vehi-
cle, its engine was still running, and
Adam was in the back seat trying to
get out,
"When I first saw him, he
jumped back into the driver's seat

Man who killed ex-wife to
protect her from aliens
pleads guilty
ELIZABETH, New Jersey (AP) �
A man who said he fatally stabbed
his ex-wife
to protect her from aliens pleaded
guilty to manslaughter.
Brett Steingraber believed
extraterrestrials were about to take
over the planet, and killed his ex-
wife, Suraia Sadi, to save her from
the pain of the alien takeover, pros-
ecutors said.
He could receive as much as 40
years in prison when sentenced in
November.
Sadi, 36, was stabbed 12 times in
the chest in March 19, at her ex-
husband's Rosclle Park apartment.
Steingraber, 39, later drove
around with his three sons until
crashing his car in Westchester
County, New York. The car acci-
dent was an attempt to spare him-
self and his children from the pain
of an alien .takeover as well, prose-
cutor William Kolano said.
Steingraber spent two years at a
psychiatric hospital before being
declared competent for trial. He
pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravat-
ed manslaughter and child endan-
germent.
Police arrest man for biting
off chunk of nose
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP)
� Dutch police Wednesday arrest-
ed a 54-ycar-old
man for biting'off a chunk of anoth-
er man's nose in an argument last
month.
The officers also found the
chunk of nose in the arrested man's
freezer.
The suspect told police he had
kept the 2-by-2.5-centimeter (0.8-
by-1-inch) piece of nose, which was
frozen in a glass of milk, to prove he
did not use a knife in the Aug. 14
attack in an Amsterdam cafe,
according to a police statement.
Police thawed out the piece of
nose but said there was no longer
any chance of grafting it back on to
the victim's face. The suspect,
whose name was not released, was
expected to be charged with aggra-
vated assault.

Pirate football drops fourth
consecutive Tech battle
Season football opener marked with
disappointing 38-3 loss
Travis Barklky
senior writer
The 1998 season opener didn't quite go as planned for the
ECU football team, as they suffered a 38-3 pounding at the
hands of Virginia Tech, Saturday in Blacksburg, Va.
The Hokies rushed for 222 yards and beat ECU for the
fourth consecutive time.
ECU squandered several scoring opportunities, missing two
field goals and failing to convert on several "trick" plays. A fake
punt on the Pirate's first possession saw Andrew Bayes com-
plete a pass, but it fell short of the first down marker and Tech
took over deep in Pirate territory. Tech's drive stalled but they
took a 3-0 lead on Shayne Graham's field goal and never looked
back. Halfback Marcellus Harris' attempted an option pass to a
wide open LaMont Chappell, but threw the overthrew the ball
out of bounds.
"You can't not capitalize on your opportunities ECU head
football coach Steve Logan said. "Especially against Virginia
Tech. We had three touchdown opportunities and three field
goal opportunities and came away with three points. The good
news is that we had the opportunity. I would be much more
concerned if there had been no opportunity
As the game went on, Tech's balanced offensive attack wore
down the Pirate defense.
"Late in the game our defense was on the field way too
much, again, because we didn't capitalize on our opportunities
on offense Logan said. "Eventually defenses wear down in
that situation, and our defense got a little bit worn down. It's
not because of conditioning
After a slow start, ECU moved the ball somewhat effective-
ly against a tough Tech defense, using a new option running

attack. For the game, ECU gained 303 yards, 135 of which
were on the ground. This was a dramatic improvement over
last season, when the Pirates were 111th out of 112 division one
schools in rushing yards.
True to his word, Logan played two quarterbacks against
Tech, sophomore Bobby Weaver and redshirt freshman David
Garrard. Both played nearly an equal amount of time with
Weaver starting the first and second halves, with Garrard com-
ing in relief.
Both QB's showed a variety of skills in their first real oppor-
tunity at playing time.
Weaver used his speed to rush for 33 yards on just four car-
ries. Garrard showed outstanding arm strength and an ability
to avoid oncoming pass rushers.
"For my first time out, I think I did pretty good Garrard
said.
Garrard said that he would like to improve on his red zone
performance.
"I had Jamie Wilson open in the end zone and the ball just
sailed on me Garrard said. "I got so excited when 1 threw it
because he was so wide open

Purple here, Gold there. No one

home of the ECU Pirates.
School spirit is huge at this uni-
versity and the ECU sports market-
ing department sees to it that there
efforts lead to success.
Sports marketing helps promote
the interest in ECU athletics by
making people aware of the cam-
pus events that are happening.
"We pass out flyers around cam-
pus and make it more of an event

Director of Marketing said. "We

Many resources are used to pro-
duce the posters and merchandise
that ECU students and fans are
surrounded by on campus every
day.
The marketing department
sometimes designs the posters
themselves, but also works with
different printers and outside
agencies for design works. Each
year a theme is decided on by the
department to be featured on
posters and brochures. The theme
for this year is "New Look, Same
Attitude
Deciding on which student
athlete are put on the posters and
brochures is actually a complex
process.
"We look at different athletes
that have excelled on the field and
in the classroom and have partici-
pated in community work
Wellman said.
The cost of making promotion-
al posters and brochures depends
on things like the printers and-
designers working on it, how
many need to be ordered, what
pictures are needed, and if it is
done internally or by an outside
agency.
The time it takes to make this
marketing items depends on sev-
eral factors.
"It depends on how many
times it is sent back for changes,
the person designing it, etc

Open your
eyes to all I
sports, fans -
Tracy Hairr
senior writer
It's a diverse world we live in, so
why do the two games of football
and basketball never cease to end
the channel surfing, own the bold
newspaper headlines, and even,
to some degree, determine an
athlete's significance?
One of the leading justifica-
tions is their unlimited amount of
action on the field or court respec-
tively, at one time and throughout
the entire game.
With this dense level of ten-
sion that results from encompass-
ing rules and different athletic
personalities, and coupled with an
ordinary person's daily stress, fans
almost always find a way to pat-
tern their schedules to the times
football and basketball games are
normally played.
What exactly causes this?
There's evidently a connection
with these sports and television
coverage, but the real roots of this
passionate support are derived
from spectators' attempts to get
involved in street and backyard
games, either from mere boredom
or while hanging out with friends.
Additionally, materials for these
sports arc accessible�you need a
football or basketball, and for the
latter, a goal, but if you don't have
your own, there's usually a public
one nearby.
This is where a genuine com-
parison can be made between
whether or not the circumstances
for these sports and others such as
volleyball, tennis and swimming
are influenced by the mentioned
characteristics.
To consider the first one
described, these other sports have
a tendency to appear repetitious
and almost boring unless the fan
is a natural advocate of the activi-
ty from personal experience or
knowing people who participate
in them. So as not to sound flip-
pant and underestimate the skill
that's required for these sports,
there is indeed a respectable level
of attention they deserve, but
unless one has a volleyball net,
tennis court or swimming pool
close at hand, these activities are
not as pursued as the reigning two
that have stadiums, coliseums
and couches full of enthusiastic
fans.
Granted, there do exist the
more sophisticated treatments of
minor sports, for lack of a better
description, like the World Cup,
for example, that arouses as many
supporters as do the bowl games
and NBA finals. And to refrain
from traversing sensitive ground,
it should be safe to acknowledge
these sports as simply more spe-
cific in attracting fans, but they
are just as commendable for their
demonstrations of rhythm and
endurance without the intrusion
of a time clock (excluding soccer,
of course).
Relating all of this to ECU, itjs
worth the students' time and
effort to realize the athletic
department does generate
money for more purposes than
those pertaining to football and
basketball. To the athletes
involved in other sports, it's more
than an avocation when they
practice so diligently before com-
peting.
So, with all due respect to the
Pirates, all the Pirates who repre-
sent us against other schools, let's
show a bit more appreciation for
the multiple forms of talent pre-
sent at ECU, and remember

Tht Eut Carolinian
Olympic interest falls
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) On the
eve of the first large-scale effort to
provide details about the 2002
Winter Games, a new poll raises
the question: Does anyone care?
A copyright poll published in
Sunday's Deseret News found that
58 percent of Utah residents
polled said they don't feel at all a
part of the Games. About half said
they don't want to.
Sixty-nine percent said they
don't know enough about plans,
and a majority said Olympic orga-
nizers are not doing what they can
to involve the public.
Salt Lake Organizing
Committee officials say they've
done the best they can.especially
given limited financial resources.
On Tuesday, Olympic organiz-
ers, Gov. Mike Leavitt and other
state and local government leaders
are sponsoring an "Olympic
Forum" at the Salt Palace to dis-
cuss plans with the hundreds of
invited community, business and
religious leaders. The public is also
invited.
Ken Bullock, a SLOC Board of
Editorial
continued from page 9
every athlete benefits from school
spirited fans.
Trustee member and executive
director of the Utah League of
Cities and Towns, a sponsor of the
forum, said Utah can still rally
behind the Games, but organizers
must be more forthcoming with
information.
"We've lost two or three years
of opportunities to teach people
about the Olympics more impor-
tandy what it means to them
Bullock said. "I would still be very
optimistic people will come out
and we'll put on a great face
SLOC chief executive officer
Frank Joklik agrees with Bullock,
and hopes Tuesday's meeting
gives the public the information it
wants. "We've got to clearly give
information, but at the same time
we need to get a bit of a better
view of public concerns about the
quality and the type of information
they're getting Joklik said.
The poll of 407 Utah residents
was conducted for the Deseret
News by Dan Jones & Associates
in August and has a 5 percent mar-
gin of error.
Aside from the potential vio-
lence that's prevalent in football
and basketball, there is much to be
enjoyed from observing more
relaxed yet equally intense,
competitive sports.

Although Bobby Weaver got
some playing time last year in relief
of Dan Gonzalez, this was his first
start. Weaver seemed to be more
relaxed at the start of the second
half, but said he wasn't really ner-
vous either half.
"I was a bit little less nervous, I
wasn't too nervous at the start of
the first half Weaver said.
He says that the combination of
quarterbacks gives teams some-
thing extra to prepare for.

"A lot of students are not even
sure if they need a trainer, they just
want to know if their training is
correct Brown said. "Others need
to get pushed within proper limita-
tions to maintain some kind of con-
sistency in their training habit
All trainers at the rec. center are
health and fitness majors.
"We have a lot of areas that they
(other teams) have to prepare for
Weaver said. "The passing game,
running game and all sorts of areas
and they've got to be ready for
everything
Despite losing by such a lop
sided score, Logan said there were
some positive signs in .last
Saturday's game.
"We ran the ball very well
Saturday, against a really good
defense Logan said. "I was tick-
led with the way we handled the
football, there were no turnovers. A
lot of very, very, positive things
happened in that football game that

According to Brown, they all have
to participate in a five-month train-
ing program for physical exercise
and biomechanics prior to being
ready to work with clients.
Although Brown highly recom-
mends her trainers to get certified,
she said that it is not required.
"Our trainers have, to be able to
handle all sorts of different clients,
that's why we are so concerned
with their practical experience
Brown said.
Logan said that several areas
need to addressed, most notably
special teams. One field goal
attempt was blocked and another
was blocked.
"It was just a situation where the
kids did not get off on the snap and
got the kick blocked Logan said.
"I can't tell you how hard we've
worked on the field goal unit this
year. It's been a priority beyond pri-
ority
On the second field goal miss,
Bayes suffered a pulled groin. As a
result, Brantley Rivers will be han-

The injury to Bayes will not

"We punted for a 49 yard aver-

The Pirates will take the field
for the second time this season in

against UT-Chattanooga. The last
time the two teams met was in 1972
for 33-7 Pirate victory. Game time is

"ECU athletics is the "front

Everybody's
DoiiT It!
So here you are, away from all of your old friends. Want to know how to
become a big fish in a little pond? The answer is simple - get involved.
The best way to manage your time is to be involved with campus organi-
zations of some sort. There are all kinds of things to do at ECU and no
reason why you should miss out. Here are some hints to get you started:
� Student Leadership and Development Programs can get you in touch
with more than 250 student clubs and organizations. And if this isn't
enough, they also provide a wide array of leadership workshops that are
not only educational, they're fun. Stop in to 109 Mendenhall Student
Center to check them out.
� The Student Recreation Center and Mendenhall Student Center keep
the west end of campus hopping with concerts, movies, lectures, intramu-
rals and exciting programs of all types. Pick up a Recreational Services
Program Guide or stop buy the information desk at either building to stay
on top of the action.
� The Ledonia Wright African American Cultural Center offers many pro-
grams for the entire campus community, Their programs include cook-
outs, theatre presentations, and leadership training. To get involved you
may call the Ledonia Wright African American Cultural Center at 328-
1680 to obtain a program and activity calendar.
� Alternative Spring Break (ASB) gives students the opportunity to use
their spring break to benefit society. Students perform short term pro-
jects for community agencies and learn about issues such as literacy,
poverty, racism, hunger, homelessness and the environment. ASB is a
good way to meet new friends, share experiences, have fun, and help oth-
ers. For further information you may contact Jeff Novak at 328-6144 or
novakj@mail.ecu.edu.
� The Student Government Association is the official representative gov-
erning body for ECU students. You can have a voice in student issues by
voting for officers andor running for office in the upcoming election on
Sept. 23. To learn more about how you can be involved you can call the
SGA office at 328-4726, visit the SGA
office at Room 255 Mendenhall Student
Center, or visit their web site:
http:www.sga.ecu.edu.
� Every residence hall has a Hall
Council and there is also a Residence
Hall Association. These programs are
designed to get you involved, let you
share ideas, and develop your lender-
ship skills. To find out how to join,
contact your Hall Coordinator or call the
RHA office at 328-1679.
� Resident Advisers are trained student leaders hired to build one-on-one
relationships with each member of their community. RA's are compensat-
ed for their time but must meet certain criteria. Students interested in
this challenging, yet rewarding experience are encouraged to apply. You
may get more information from your current RA, or speak with a hall
coordinator.

Joe Student Gets A Clue
I'm lucky to be back. After getting arrested last semester and failing two classes, I
thought it would be Taco Bell for me. Luckily, Dad and ECU agreed to give me one more
chance. So this year, I'm going to turn over a new leaf. I have to if I want to graduate in
May, and with my little sister Joanne coming to ECU as a first-year student, I have to set a
good example.
I think I'll start off by getting some resume filler. When my older sister, Jane, gradu-
ated she had all kinds of stuff to put on her resume; clubs, awards, officer positions; and she
got a job right away. So I want to get involved in some groups that can help me out. Of
course, it wouldn't hurt if they were a lot of fun, too! Dad thinks that if I get involved I
might just stay out of trouble for a semester.
So I have decided to take my sister Joanne to this thing called Get A Clue On Life.
It takes place on Wright Plaza on Wednesday, September 23 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. All
the student clubs set up tables and you can pick up information or sign up to join. Maybe I
can find a group of guys like me that I can join. A lot of student service offices are there too,
and some give away cool stuff. I'll definitely stop at some of those tables. They even have
prizes like a color TV that you can win just for stopping by the tables! If my sister wins that,
maybe I can convince her to let me use it in my apartment.
Now that I have a clue, it's great to be back - look out ECU! (Sorry Dad)
Mystery Water
Wilderness Weekend
The first few weeks of college life can be hugely overwhelming, exciting, and frustrat-
ing. The Office of Orientation and the First-Year Experience knows all about how you
are feeling. That is why we have planned a fabulous surprise for the first 30 students
who are quick enough to take advantage of it-the Mystery Water Wilderness Weekend.
The Mystery WWW will take you away to a relaxing secret location for water, wilderness,
and fun. The trip is a little unusual because you don't know where you are going, so how
daring are you? But we will tell you what you will be doing: sea-kayaking, hiking, sleeping
out under the stars, and meeting and making new friends. The brave trip-goers from last
year still talk about the blast they had.
The trip is scheduled for September 19 and 20, 1998 (and don't worry, there is no football
game planned that weekend). The cost is $15, which covers transportation, food, equipment
rental, and lodging. To reserve a spot today, stop by the Office of Orientation in 214
Whichard Building or call 328-4173 for more information.

Movie Review
Shannon Meek
Senior Writer
It is a perfect scene for a bizarre dream.
The pieces are scattered about the room with no order or destiny. The room has
a blue glow, a soft vibrating glow. There are black shreds of tire rubber like material
strung about the room in no particular order. In certain places statues stand, ropes
wrap around themselves like thick vines, large silver balls fill tiny plastic cups.
There is an off-key balance which sings hauntingh in the back of the room.
The person who said art must be experienced had to be talking about Juan
Logan. His installation, Ginned, which was created exclusively for The Wellington B.
Gray Art Gallery, speaks of the loss of culture and individuality in America.
Gil Leebrick, director of the Gray Art Gallery, said of Logan's piece, "A very
unique and important experience Juan Logan created Ginned, (cotton gin),

explained how his choices of objects and symbols deeply expressed his emotional

The pieces that he showed during his lecture had similar objects and
connections that ran through them. One of them was a mask which Juan used to
express the changing of one face to the next, the change which humanity ironically
mistakes for enlightenment. Ginned is no different. Leebrick explained, "Ginned

"Hey, is that Dirk Diggler
over there at the bar?"
"Over there? No, that's Ron
Jeremy?
"No, I see Ron Jeremy. I mean the
other guy?
"Oh, the other guy, that's Shane 0'
Shea
"Who?"
In the tradition of the promiscu-
ous prodigal son of disco theme,
Mark Christopher brings you 54, the
tale of one decadent disco club's rise
and fall on the selective streets of
late 70's New York City.
Shane ff Shea is a working-class
Jersey boy who find himself hand-
picked to enter the dub, called
Studio 54, by dub owner Steve
Rubell. Every night a mob forms
outside the dub and Rubell picks
interesting people from the street to
entertain and mix with the A-list
crowd inside. Of course 0"Shea has
to take off his shirt at the door, but
once he gets in the sky's the limit It's
too bad this innocent boy gets tan-
gled up in sex, drugs and disco.
By now you might be asking,
what is this Studio 54 place all
about and where might I find such
a place? Well, you can't.
Why? Because when you mix
celebrities, hard drugs, mysterious
basements, girls leading goats,
babies descending from the ceiling,
Andy Warhol, open fornication and,
of course, disco, with bare-chested
bartenders, embezzling dub-own-
ers and an appearance by Ron
Jeremy, ifs then that you run into
trouble.
This film ran into a few troubles
of its own by way of some shoddy
writing and guns that never went
off. O.K here we are, now what do
we do? The real-life answer is easy:
disco dance.
On the screen the situation is a bit
more demanding. The lack of any
true arc in the film didn't help its
cause very much. On the plus side
we get to see Mike Myers (as Steve
Rubell), breaking type with a char-
acter that borders on dramatic.
While Myers just might have
saved the film with his performance,
at times it was like a strung-out seg-
ment of "Coffee Talk which was
equally entertaining.
Other performances worth not-
ing were by Salma Hayek as Anita
and Neve Campbell as Julie Black,
who led us to believe they both
would end up falling for the young
Shane ff Shea.
Shane and Julie come to a great
realization at the end of the film:
"Let's face it, we're Jersey?
At that point the two decide to be

Dave Brubeck brings his own
special jazz sound to Wright
Nina M. Dry
StaffWriter
This Friday, September 11, ECU pre-
sents the Dave Brubeck Quartet to
the Wright Auditorium at 8 p.m for
your listening pleasure.
Dave Brubeck, a 77 year old
California native, has been a major
influence on jazz music since thelate
1940s. This pianist and composer
has maintained his popularity
through his energy, rich tones, and a
variety of changing musical styles.
Brubeck began his study of
composition in 1946 with the
famous French composer, Darius
Milhaud, who taught at Mills
College. Brubeck, along with other
Mill College students, founded the

Ensemble which recorded as the

In 1951,Brubeck formed the
Dave Brubeck Quartet with such
names like Cal Tjader, Paul
Desmond, and Bill Smith. Seven
years later the quartet released their
first jazz instrumental record that
sold a million copies. This record
contained the extremely popular
song "Take Five" that was notable for
its uncommon jazz rhythms.
As a composer, Brubeck has
written and recorded many pieces
such as two ballets, a musical, an
oratorio, four cantatas, a mass, works
for a jazz combo and orchestra, as
well as several solo piano pieces.

Band Review

Acoustic syndicate Peasanfs Cafe
Chris Salerno
Beginning Writer
Musical Question: What could Bob
Marley and the father of Bluegrass
music, Bill Monroe, possibly have in
common? No, it's not that they're
both dead. The answer is Acoustic
Syndicate and their far-reaching
sound had the joint jumpin'
Saturday night at Peasant's Cafe.
Seven years ago, brothers
Brian and Fitz McMurry, and Steve
McMurry, their cousin, teamed up to
form Acoustic Syndicate in the little
town of Shelby, North Carolina.
From there the band kept building
with the addition of guitarist Roger
Patgett and newest member Jay
Sanders on the upright bass.
Among the original family trio,
Steve covers the guitar work while
occasionally grabbing up the man-
dolin, and Brian handles the banjo.
Brother Fitz McMurry plays the per-
cussion on a tall set of conga drums,
positioned on stage left Together
they epitomize versatility.
These guys might be holding
bluegrass instruments, but they're
looking much further. In the tradi-
tion of mandolin legend David
(Dawg) Grisman, this band gets you
ready for a bluegrass or folk num-
ber, then they play a Latin, jazz
instrumental.
They'll revisit a lost Bob Marley
song like "Small Axe" or Dire Straits'
"Water of Love" and completely
make it their own. Speaking of their
own, these few cover songs, although
remarkable, were merely a taste of
the real Acoustic Syndicate.
Original songs like "Two Sons
"Better Place and "No Time" (all of
which can be found on their latest
CD), were filled with precise banjo
rolls that verged on lightning speed
at times.
Folks, Brian McMurry has big
ideas on the banjo. If you're lucky
enough to see him treat it like an
electric guitar, you'll know exactly
what I mean. At the same time,
cousin Steve had an acoustic attack
unlike any other i've seen, filling and
running with blistering solos.
Oh, did I mention the harmonies?
These guys sang bluegrass har-
monies that surely would have
moved the late, great Bill Monroe
himself. Seveji years may have well
been thirty, judging by the way they
played together, constantly feeding
off of each others' inspirations.
Currently, Acoustic Syndicate is
playing North Carolina area dubs

Counting Crows
Across A Wire (Live in New York)
6 Out of 10
,
Caleb Rose
Staff Writer
If the words "Live in New York" are
induded in the title of a record, most
of us would picture some huge
venue with thousands of screaming
crazies gathered together in a mob
and grooving with a pict.
But then again, you could be one
who envisions going to a show and
actually listening to the music and
viewing the performance in a more
distinguished manner. For any mat-
ter, the Counting Crows latest live
double-disc effort Across A Wire
offers both scenarios and is surely
pleasing to all fanatics.
The Counting Crows are well
known for their live performances
because of their erratic nature and
sing-along tunes. On another note,
both of their albums were recorded
in a live setting at the recording stu-
dio (in which the liner notes reveal
that the band rented a house for
each album and transformed it into
a studio). Not much of the group's
existence has been spent off of the
road and thus it is not uncommon
that their third release is a live
recording
This album is handsomely dis-
played in that the first disc was
recorded for the VH-1 Storytellers
program, and the second is a loud
and raucous MTV 10 Spot perfor-
mance that would seem to satisfy
the "crazies" above.

Only thing scary about Halloween is
the $1.59 rental price
Miccah Smith
Fountain Editor
So there I was at the video store, try-
ing to decide what movie to review
that might possibly have social rele-
vance at this time.
For some reason I decided on the
original Halloween, partly because
Hollywood is celebrating its 20-year
anniversary with Halloween H20,
and partly because I felt that I could
in no way call myself a horror fan
(which I do) without ever having
seen the flick (which 1 hadn't).
Having now seen the film, I find it
hard to believe that this was the
shocker that offset a deluge of spin-
offs and sequels that included Friday
the 13th and Nightmare on Eim
Street.
With only five dead bodies and one

dead dog to its credit, Halbween was
hardly the bloodbath I had grown to
expect from a "horror classic espe-
cially one made only 20 years ago.
A young Jamie Lee Curtis stars as the
bookish, long-faced Laurie, a virginal
teen whose idea of fashion runs the
gamut from knee socks to granny
sweaters.
Dialogue among the group formed
by Laurie and her two teen-queen
friends, Annie and Linda, is painful
to listen to at best, unnecessary and
poorly-acted at worst. Any screen
presence Curtis developed later was
not present in this role at all, and the
characters never seemed to mesh or
to elicit any sympathy from me.
The characters all live in a neighbor-
hood that is slowly and secretly
being overtaken by huge looming
hedges, which serve to give the illu-
sion that the girls are always walking

through a dark, Alice-in-
Wbnderland sort of maze.
Yeah, there's a psycho killer named
Michael (Mike for short) too. I
shouldn't forget to write him in. After
murdering his sister on Halloween at
age six (precocious, ain't he?) he has
spent fifteen years in stony silence
behind the bars of the state loony
barn. Now, at the ripe old sexually
frustrated age on twenty-one, he
escapes and makes his way back to
his hometown to celebrate
Halloween again the old-fashioned
way! Yikes!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, some
of those crazy girls are planning a
promiscuous evening at home for
that spooky night. I got a glimpse of
one of their boy-toys and believe me,
now I know that nothing a guy can
wear turns me on more than a pair
of tinted aviator-style glasses.
But the phones keep ringing! Even
Lori, whose date for the night con-
sists of babysitting a five-year-old
boy, is tormented by excessive
anonymous phone calls that have no
purpose other than to exasperate.If
Mike is doing all the calling, I can't
see how he'd have the time to kill
anybody!
Mike, he's real slow, but he's got a
mighty powerful grip when it comes
to strangulation.
By the end of the movie, I was prac-
tically screechingDie Valley Girl,
die and was not surprised when
she does. Naturally Lori and her little
charge escape ah awful fate at the
hands of Mike, no thanks to a flimsy
living-room door that he handily
punches through on the first try.
Mike also escapes death notwith-
standing a stab to his head, another
to his chest, six bullet wounds fired
at dose-range and a fall from a sec-
ond-story balcony. Naturally he dis-
appears after suffering these indigni-
ties so that he can recover to strike
again, yadda yadda yadda.
I know we're supposed to be chilled
to the marrow at the thought, but
all I'm thinkin' is, if he's that
hell-bent on being a jackass, more
power to him!

Things to
Do

passage through time and space all
of it is contained in this blue atmos-
phere which African culture see as
protective
Many students that had experi-
enced the installment were struck by
Ginneds and complexities. Jenny
Love, Art Ed and Textiles major,
commentedI have never seen an
installment before It is really dif-
ferent because it is not contained in
a frame, you can walk in and out of
it. The viewer is irtvolved. Even the
title is an experienceLogan's piece
challenges the viewer to define
themselves in a society wherein it is
appropriate to deny one's heritage.
The Irish, the Africans, the British
who sailed or were dragged across
the oceans to be brought to a new
world, have all lost sight of their
ancestry. Logan works mourns this
concept. He tries to reexamine what
it means to be not only human but
American.
" The piece overall is about who
we are as Americans and what we
had to give up all those things that
we had to cast off It hearkens us
back to the roots that we have given
upsaid,Leebrick.
Logan's passionate and disturb-
ing installment not only sucks the
viewer in, but leaves us questioning
and yearning. Staring at the broken
fragments that lay scattered on the
floor underneath the warm protec-
tive light, it is easy to feel a desire for
placement in the world.

Playing shows and venues like Merle
Fest, Acoustic Stage, and Black
Mountain Music Festival will surely
help their cause. They will, no doubt,
be well received.
Acoustic Syndicate has a recently
released, self-titled CD out under the
Little King record label. For more
information visit their web site at

sure to catch them the next time they
come through.
Crows, continued from page 3

Adam Duritz and guitarist Dave

"Round Here Following this mellow
offering, one by one, the remaining
band members grace the stage and
continue to jam on throughout the
evening.
The show produces an even dis-
play of tunes from their albums
August and Everything Afteii 1993),
as well as Recovering the
Satellites(l9). And it also harbors
altered versions of many of their hit
songs.
The accordion-driven"Mr.Jones"
is a fine example of an alteration in
that the song is slower and it is eerier
than its original predecessor.
As the disc progresses, the tempo
and noise level increase, but not to
the point of discomfort. After the
final track, there is a long intermis-
sion until a heavily brass-driven
untitled bonus track erupts to encore
the show.
Disc two immediately switches
gears as it opens with the screams of
what seems to be a large crowd who
say in one voice, "Lose the Java and
the Birkenstocks, VH-1, we are about
to throw down at the 10 Spot The
10 Spot is a live concert program on
MTVkind of an answer to VH-1 's
Storytellers show if you will.
Disc two is full of energy. The
crowd roars as the band begins the
first few notes of "Recovering the
Satellites" then immediately rolls
into "Angels of the Silences The
intensity keeps growing as the disc
merrily spins and then simmers
down with "Raining in Baltimore
"Round Here and "I'm Not
Sleeping After this short break, the
band launches back into "A Murder

doses with "Walkaways
This album is probably one of
the best quality live recordings
around due to today's technology
and the Counting Crows'knowledge
on how to properly record in a live
setting. There are downers, however.
For one thing, there are no stories
behind the music that was taped for
theVH-1 Storytellers program.
Secondly, there were a number of
songs that were doubles. Granted
one may have been acoustic and
another performed in full, but that
still does not justify paying for a two
disc set only to hear some of the
same songs on either disc.
These petty imperfections could
be considered a foul-up or a bless-
ing, but one thing is for sure, the
Counting Crows deserve much
respect from the music world and
Across A Wire is only going to gain
them more.
