: gathered together in front of the
Greenville Police Station
. Thursday to protest police brutali-
. ty'
The Federation of Partisans
Against Police Brutality (FPAPB)
and the Coalition Against Racism
(CAR) helped orchestrate the Oct.
22 protest. There were around 30
i people peacefully protesting on
the corner of 5th Street and
Greene Street.
"We came here today to speak
out against cases of police harass-
ment and police brutality said
Carlton Smith, a supervisor at the
Mendenhall Student Center.
"(We want to confront the occu-
pying army and to expose the fact
that people don't have control of
their own communities because

brutality is one incident too
many. The police are here to

people have no voice about what
goes on in the police department
The FPAPB presented
demands to start community
forums to inform people about
their rights against the police, an
end to the violation of human
rights by the Greenville Police
Department (GPD), and the police
relinquishing information regard-
ing the racial makeup of its forces
as well as the department's hiring
practices. The group's largest
demand is for a community review
board of the GPD. The CAR
would particularly like this board to
consist of trusted members of the
community, including non-white
and poor communities.
"The reason I am out here is
because one incident of police bru-
tality is one incident too many
said Chris Reynolds, a sophomore
at Pitt Community College. "The
police are here to protect and serve
the people, not to brutalize them
The protest also brought people
together who were not members of
CAR, yet still interested in the
fight against police brutality.
"This is the first time I have
attended any meeting with this
group junior Jeremy Reed said.
"I am interested in more informa-
tion from this group and about this
subject
Oct. 22 was the third annual day
of protest against police brutality.
The GPD had no comment to
CAR and did not bother the pro-
testers because they had obtained
proper permits to hold the protest.
Protesters at Thursday's rally hold signs to raise awareness of police brutality in the community.

Five courses expected

STAFF WRITER
ECU has signed a three year con-
tract with Real Education, Inc.for
$30,000 to expand the online
courses offered.
The Denver based company
will help ECU make 20 more
courses available online by the fall
1999 semester.
"Our goal is to have at least five
courses available for the 1999
spring semester Dr. David
Watkins, special assistant to the
vice chancellor of Academic Affairs
said. "The other 15 would be avail-
able by the 1999 fall semester
The distant learning program
allows people worldwide to take
ECU courses and receive credit for
completed courses through the
Internet. ECU already offers sever-
al dozen courses but wants to
expand the program.
The contract for 20 more cours-
es was negotiated by the Distant
Education Extension Advisory
Board and reviewed by the
University Legal Council.
"The Legal Council checked
the contract to make sure EC! was
not entering a contract that will
present legal problems Dr.
Richard Ringcisen, vice chancellor
of Academic Affairs said.
Funding for this program will
come from a bill that the State
I legislature is currently working on
that will provide money to public
schools for distant education.
"If the bill is delayed, KCl'uill
assume responsibility for the pay-
ments and will be reimbursed
when the State passes the pro-
gram Watkins said.
It is more economical for ECU
to expand its online program
through Real Education rather
than develop the programs itself
Ringcisen said.
ECU faculty members will pro-
vide the content for the courses
and will supervise the academic
and curriculum matters.

Alcohol Awareness Week began
Monday to educate people about
the dangers of alcohol abuse and
will continue through Halloween
night.
"We are trying to help people
become more aware of the use of
alcohol and we have planned vari-
ous activities to increase awareness
of this drug said Donna Walsh,
director of Health Promotion and
Well-Being.
Monday through Thursday stu-
dents are invited by SADD to the
Wright Place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
to write about their experiences
with alcohol on The Wall.
Students arc encouraged to express
whatever their feelings may be,
positive or negative, about the
drug.
A new way to spread alcohol
awareness has been added with the
Wall of Rememberances, which
will be located at the fountain near
Wright Plaza.
"The Wall of Rememberances
is for us to take time and remember
those whose lives have been lost
through an alcohol-related inci-

Historian dies at 72
Bratton writer of
first official history
Devon White
STAFF WRITER
Mary Jo Bratton, retired professor
official ECU historian,
and author of East
Carolina University: The
Formative Years, 1907-
1982, died Wednesday
in her Greenville home
at the age of 72.
"Mary Jo Bratton
was a very fair minded,
wonderful woman
said Bodo Nischan,
chair of the History
Department. "(She was
an excellent scholar
Since 1967, Bratton
had been a faculty member of the
Department of History. In addition
to the time she spent teaching, she
was the director of graduate studies
in the History Department from
1986 to 1989. Bratton also served as
the acting chair of the department
from 1992 to 1994. She retired in
1995.
"Bratton was always friendly,
fair, and on the ball history pro-
fessor Mike Palmer said.
In 1980 Bratton was delegated
by ECU to write the school's first
official history. East Carolina
University: The Formative Years,
1907-1982, was published in 1986.
In 1997, Bratton helped to write a
summarized history of the universi-
ty for a booklet celebrating ECU's
90th anniversary.
Bratton had
received awards and
fellowships for her
articles and papers
examining the histo-
ry, culture, and soci-
ety of the South.
"Bratton con-
tributed a great
amount to ECU over
the years Nischan
said.
Bratton was born
in Bluefield, West
Virginia in 1926. Her parents were
Thomas Josiah and Irene
McKinstry Jackson. She completed
her undergraduate degrees at
Montreal College and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. She received
a master's degree and a doctorate at
UNC-Chapel Hill.
Bratton is survived by her
children Jack, Jess, and Katherine.

Forms will be available in
Mendenhall and the Student
Recreation Center for students to
pledge not to drink on Halloween
night. Also available will be the
Safe Halloween Pledge during
Midnight Madness at Mendenhall
on Saturday night from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. Midnight Madness is an alco-
hol-free alternative offered which
will include food, beverages, and
games.
Coinciding with Alcohol
Awareness Week is the delivery of
drug and alcohol awareness
booklets to the residence halls.
Core surveys have shown that
74 percent of students believe
their peers drink three times a
week, when in actuality only 17
percent arc reported drinking that
often.

dents what is really happening at

We've all had that one teacher who truly inspires, the one who pushes you to expand your
limits and find a passion for learning. We've also all had professors that flat-out don't do
their job. Whether they fail everyone who walks through the door or ignore the needs of
their students, they don't deserve to be at the head of a classroom.
As students, we have the means to affect the world around us. At the end of each
semester, we are given forms to evaluate our teachers. Unfortunately, many students look
at these forms as little more than another chore to do. Often, we rush right through
evaluations without giving them the attention they need and justify it by saying, "It
doesn't really matter what I say
Some feel that evaluation forms are another rubber stamp ECU hands out. Actually, the
opinions students express weigh heavily when a professor comes up for tenure. If you
think you have the professor from hell, speak up! If he or she is really that bad, others will
feel the same way and the powers that be will wake up and take another look.
Now that midterms are over, we should begin to give a little advance thought to these
matters. Are you happy with the way your classes are being taught? If not, is it honestly
because of faults of the teacher? If that's what it is, by all means, say so. However, back up
what you say with reasons besides, "Man, this guy sucks There is a space on the form for
written comments and while it is not required it is importnat. If you put plenty of reasons
behind your scores of "1 people will begin to take notice. If you don't give them any
, reasons, do you expect the people who look at the forms to pay attention? They won't take
; you seriously if you don't take them seriously.
Members of the younger classes won't remember this, but the evaluation forms used to
be a lot less specific. The written portions were only added after people complained that
they weren't detailed enough. If the written parts are just left blank, what good was
adding them? TEC would like to encourage the administration to make the written
portion mandatory too.
SGAs at some schools publish results of teacher evaluations for the students. An index of
each professor would be valuable for us. Rather than relying on hearsay when it comes
time to choose next semester's teachers, we could see what past classes have had to say.
Many of us are putting ourselves into years of debt for this school. It's only reasonable to
want to make the most informed choice possible.
OPINION
Marvelle
Sullivan
Notification laws not needed
Parental notification is a
measure taken by the law in
regard to juvenile offenses.
Therefore, also allowing
universities to implement this
measure is suggesting that a
college student is not an adult
and should be treated
accordingly.
A law, proposed by John Warner
of Virginia, if passed will give
universities (among other
institutions) the right to notify
parents of students who commit
alcohol and drug violations. The
proposal's aim is to deter under-
age drinking and drug offenses
that supposedly run rampant on
campuses around the country.
Lawmakers feel that the threat of
parental notification will compel
students to "reconsider" before
taking any actions deemed
criminal by the university codes of
conduct.
While the proposal may be a
well-intended attempt to curb
student alcohol and drug use, it is
certainly not a very well thought-
out deterrent. A college student is
an adult. Whether or not he or she
is a mature adult is not the issue.
Part of college life (and any post-
high-shool graduation path) is the
slow but sure attainment of
responsibility and accountability.
To notify parents at every offense
most assuredly impedes the
student's capability to deal with
the consequences of his or her
actions, i.e. breaking the law.
Parental notification is a
measure taken by the law in
regard to juvenile offenses.
Therefore, also allowing
universities to implement this
measure is suggesting that a
college student is not an adult and
should be treated accordingly.
This is a very dangerous concept
that could be used in other areas
that would prove to be
very detrimental to students
everywhere.
Another very important issue is
privacy. Since a student is legally
an adult, not to mention a citizen
of the United States, there are
certain rights which are
"inalienable Students have a
right to privacy in the personal,
medical AND legal matters that
pertain to them. To inform
anyone (even if it is a parent) of
such matters is a direct violation of
that privacy.
It is understandable that
universities and lawmakers
become very frustrated with
student alcohol and drug
violations, and hence, search for
any way to curb these offenses.
However it is not understandable
that any entity would forgo
common sense to accomplish this.
When an individual can serve in a
war and vote for a president, then
surely this same individual can
choose what personal information
to tell his or her parents. Whether
university administrators,
lawmakers, or police agree or feel
that it is in the individual's best
interest is a non-issue. Essentially,
the university's parenting of
students and violating their
privacy (and thus violating a basic
principle of our country) will
eventually do more harm than
good. So, the adoption of this
policy, if it is indeed passed, would
be an unconscionable short and
long-term mistake.

NBA strike reveals poor sports?
First of all, they want more
money. That is fine. But the
players want to have partial
ownership of the teams. Well
guess what. Owners are the
bosses, and players are the
employees.
The NBA strike has to be the
stupidest thing I have seen in a
long time. In a country where we
view our sports stars as "heroes
our children's so called role
models have decided to sell
themselves, and their fans out, so
they can make even more money.
Here arc sonic of the things that
annoy me about the player's
demands.
First of all, they want more
money. That is fine. But the
players want to have partial
ownership of the teams. Well
guess what. Owners are the
bosses, and players are the
employees. They have agreed to
work for their boss, and they get
paid well. The player's demands
have gone above plain fairness,
and that's why the owners won't
accept their demands.
Second, they want to be paid
during the strike. I'm glad the
judge told them hell no. These
little pretty boys want to have
their cake and eat it too, and it's
not fair to the fans and the owners.
I leek, they even have the super
rich Michael Jordan negotiating
for themwhen he's not on TV
lying about how much he likes
MCI or Rayovac batteries.
Doesn't it annoy you that
someone who makes almost
-�inety million a year in salary and
endorsements is telling their fans
that they're not being paid
enough?
Finally, the players have even ;
speculated about forming their j
own league. Well I am sure that a I
league led by money grubbing, '
inconsiderate, Latreile Sprewell j
and Dennis Rodman wannabes '
would be a whole lot better than
the way it is now (sarcasm). I'm
sure that if this would happen,
basketball would become a
spectacle, instead of a
sportpretty much like �
professional wrestling with a ball. j
I think I'll probably stick to the C
NCAA games from now on. They ;
seem to like to play, regardless ;
of money.

was a good marketing idea, to
be honest. Charge three bucks

This time, I'm gonna talk about
the nation's space program, and
what's going on with it.
For starters, I don't like the
space program. I like the idea of
it; I just don't really see any
advances coming from it. The
only really useful thing that
NASA ever brought typical
Americans was Velcro.
You're probably thinking,
"But Ryan-Dogg! What about
Tang?" Well, here's the skinny
on Tang. It is a dehydrated
orange beverage that became
famous because it was part of the
diet of those guys who landed on
the moon. When it came out in
the early 70s, people flocked to
their local markets and bought it
by the metric ton, never giving a
thought to the fact that it didn't
taste particularly good, and it
caused something that rhymes
with "miarhhea
And yes, there was that

a good marketing idea, to be
honest. Charge three bucks a

But aside of the useless
products we have, and that's
including the Hubble Telescope,
they still can't seem to capture
our attention like they did with
the moon landing. They even
have that channel on television-
you know the one. It consists of
slow-moving shots of the earth,
back and forth. It's like the
Kennedy assassination tape, only
it lasts a few light-years longer.
Boring photos plus no sound
multiplied by the American
attention span equals "nobody
cares The least they can do is
interrupt the silence with a
random alien popping up and
threatening to destroy the
universe.
But no! Instead, to boost their
popularity, they are instilling the
presence of Senator John Glenn.
As you may know, he was the first
man in orbit. Now, at age 77, he's
back and about to go into the
great unknown once again. The
blast-off is scheduled for
Thursday, and the reporters have
been going nuts over it.
Glenn's presence is based
around the project of Geriatrics
in Space, which is a lot better
than their usual projects, which
include "Pigs in Space "Ants in
Space and the ever-popular
"Opinion Columnist Stephen
Kleinschmit in Space
For now, I'm not sure whether
I believe that Glenn is involved
solely for the advancement of
knowledge. It seems like a
pretty good idea to get more
media attention, and thus more
money to waste. At any rate, I'll
be praying for Senator Glenn,
seeing as he is now in his upper
seventies. Let's just hope they
pack a lot of Ensure.

STAFF WRITER
As midterms come to a close, many ECU students find that
their grades are not looking so good. But, do not fear, there
are many places on campus to help the struggling student.
The Academic Support Center recommends workshops
as the first step to building a better academic career. They
offer workshops dealing with such areas as academic moti-
vation, career exploration, note-taking strategies, reading
for comprehension, stress management, test anxiety, test-
taking strategies, and time management The Center for
Counseling and Student Development offers workshops on
"Becoming a Successful Student" and "Academic
Motivation Both help students explore how to better their
academic performance.
"The academic motivation workshop is especially
important said Dr. Nancy Badger of the Center for
Counseling and Student Development. "A lot of students
can get tired and give up on school
The times and places of Academic Support Center work-
shops can be picked up at B103 Brewster Building.
Workshops provided by Student Development take place
on Mondays and Tuesdays starting in November.
"We usually like to schedule the workshops around the

middle of the semester, during registration Badger said.
Students who feel completely at a loss on what to do may
attend counseling sessions. These include individual and
group sessions. Call the Center for Counseling and Student
Development at 328-6661 for more information.
Another option available to students is tutoring.
"We have tutors mostly for freshmen and sophomore
classes said Marsha Lassiter, tutor. "There are some for
upperclassmen classes, but someone should speak to pro-
fessors in their department if they really need help

A way to help improve studying for a class is to simply
talk with the professor.
"Just ask the professor about his or her tests and how you
should study for them said Don Joyner, assistant dean of
Undergraduate Studies. "Teachers can be creatures of
habit, just by looking at your past tests, you should be able
to figure out what your final will look like
In the end though, it is up to the students themselves to
study. There are many tips on how to study that everyone
can do. When reading or studying for a class, try to take a
break every fifty minutes. This helps retain information.
It is also important to set priorities about one's life. This
can help students maintain a balance between work, study
and fun.
A handout from the Office of Undergraduate Studies
states, "Make social interactions a part of your life, not you
life
Before it becomes too late, one should always keep
a eye on their grade point average before it falls too low.
At the end of the semester, there might be a stamp signify-
ing an academic warning, or worse, academic probation on
your report card. For those students (including transfer stu-
dents) who have attempted 8-31 semester hours, a 1.35
GPA is needed. If completing 32-63 hours, a GPA equal
of higher to 1.6 is needed to avoid academic probation. An
1.8 GPA is need for 64-95 hours and an 1.9 GPA for 96 or

� Try to study at the same time and place everyday so it becomes habit.
� Don't study in a too relaxed environment, you may be tempted to gox
to sleep.
� Think ahead about schoolwork, try to plan out the semester.
� Go to class, it reinforces the subject information and allows you to ask
the professor questions.
� Sit near the front of the class (It helps you pay attention).
� Study way before the test, not the night before (That should just be a
time of review).
� When you miss a class, always get notes from others.

Recreational safety precautions

Exercising with others

Nina M. Dry
SENIOR WRITER
Even though the winter season is
quickly approaching, many ECU
students are striving to maintain
healthy and fit. They do so by using
exercise, such as running or walking
on and around campus.
While keeping in shape, stu-
dents must also strive to keep safe.
According to Tom Younce, assis-
;tant director of the ECU police
department, the campus area is a
relatively good one, but students
still need to be aware of what is
going on around them.
Younce also said that the best
' place to exercise is at the Student
Recreation Center.
"I encourage students to exer-
cise at the rec center Younce said.

Hey, all you Elvis Presley fans!
Hold on to your blue suede shoes
because tonight the Arkansas
Repertory Theatre presents Idols of
the King at 8 p.m. in the Wright
Auditorium.
Written by Ronnie Claire
Edwards and Allen Crowe, this per-
formance began touring in early
September. The show started in
Arkansas, where it ran very success-
fully, and continued doing well on
its 28 state tour. Their last stop will
be in Ponoma, NJ on November 13.
The musical is more about the
fans than it is about the King him-
self.
"It's about Elvis' devoted fans
who worshiped himsaid Carol
Woodruff, marketing director of the
department of University Unions.
"Some might call
them loony, but
it's a comical
view of the fans'
devotion
The cast con-
sists of three peo-
ple: Kevin
Bartlet, Dale
Dickey and
Lance Zitron.
Bartlet and
Dickey portray
the many fans of
Elvis� some
funny, others
touching, all
obsessed.
"To name a couple, there is a
motorcyclist and his ditzy girlfriend
who are hitchhiking Woodruff
said. "The girlfriend would like to
write songs for Elvis. There's also
an older couple who have placed
their toilet on display because Elvis
used it once
Between the scenes, Lance
Zitron, the Elvis impersonator and
accomplished actor, recreates many
of the King's popular songs such as
Love Me Tender, Blue Suede
Shoes, Jailhouse Rock, and Return
to Sender. He will be accompanied

Zitron will then place the icing
on the cake for all Presley fans dur-
ing the grand finale.
"Zitron will end the show wear-
ing the legendary white sequined
jumpsuit and cape, singing some of
the King's greatest hits Woodruff
said.
According to Woodruff, even
those who aren't die-hard Elvis fans
will find this performance to be
quite an experience.

walk on extremely populated
streets. The more congested they
are, the higher the chances are of
having an accident.
"I discourage people to run on
such streets as 10th and 5th because
of all the traffic
Younce said.
Also, there is always safety in
numbers. If possible, a workout
partner is a good idea because you
can watch out for one another. If
you do not have people to work out
with, be sure to let someone know
your whereabouts.
"Inform someone of your exer-
cising plans as far as where you're
going to be, how long you're going
to be there, and when you plan on
returning Younce said.
If you plan on jogging around
campus and you feel unsafe, the
blue lights that are strategically
places throughout campus are there
for your use.
The blue lights arc an excellent
tool to use if one feels
that they arc being followed
Younce said.
Even if you can not speak into
the call box, the ECU police will
know exactly where you are by the
blue light you have pressed.
Younce said if you arc
joggingwalking off campus and
you feel unsafe, go to a well-lit,
well-populated area.
Another thing to look out for is
loose animals. It's quite intimidat-
ing when you're jogging down the
street and a dog comes out of
nowhere. You can never be too sure
if the dog is friendly or if it wants to
take a bite out of your leg. In situa-
tions like these, it's best not
to panic.
"If you were jogging and you
approach an animal, stop said
Brenda Tripp, an animal control
officer. "Running away will only
increase the animal's prey drive
Tripp said telling the animal
"NO in a firm voice as they come
toward you will also help prevent
the dog from coming after you.
Also, if you see an animal loose
in the same area on more than
one occasion, there are things you
can do.
"If you have a routine exercise
route and you see a dog in that area
frequently, call the Animal Control
Center and we'll come and check
the situation out Tripp said.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) � A trav-
eling exhibit of "bad art" started
with a painting found in a trash can.
Scott Wilson picked up what is now
called "Lucy in the Field with
Flowers" five years ago and gave it
to his friend.
Jerry Reilly was taken by
the painting's extreme clash of sub-
ject, proportion and color and, fate-
fully, asked for more. Now, he is
executive director of The Museum
of Bad Art in Boston, which owns
more than 200 irresistibly awful
pieces of art, 90 of which can be
seen until Oct. 17 at The Ellipse
Arts Center.
"It just grabs you by the throat
said Reilly, a computer program-
mer, of that first painting. 'The
more you look at it, the more
you realize bizarre things have
gone wrong

The East Carolinian
Football program drops third loss of season
Post-season play
chances put on line
Travis Barki.ey
senior whiter
ECU's hopes of playing in a post
season bowl game may have been
dashed on Saturday after
Southern Missippi routed the
Pirates 41-7.
The loss dropped ECU's
record to 4-3 overall, and 1-1 in
Conference USA. ECU must win
its last four conference games to
have a shot at a bowl game. C-
USA has tie-ins with two bowls,
sending its champion to the
Liberty Bowl and a second team
to the Humanitarian Bowl. As it
stands now, Tulane and Southern
Missippi are in line to take those
spots.
Since Tulane and ECU do not
play this year, there was talk from
Liberty Bowl organizers that the
two schools would meet in
Memphis if both went undefeat-
ed in conference play. Southern
Missippi made sure that didn't
happen, now the Pirates need to
win out and hope someone in C-
USA upsets one of the top two
teams.
ECU got off to a fast start
against the Golden Eagles, with a
nine-play 76-yard opening drive.
Freshman running back Leonard
Henry ended the drive with a 17-
yard touchdown run, the first of
his career.
"Scoring my first college
touchdown against an opposing
team like Southern Missippi, it
was a real big thing Henry said.
"I was hoping I would get back in
there again, but didn't. It was a
real big moment for me. I will
never in my life forget it
Unfortunately for the Pirates,
their fast start didn't last.
Southern Missippi scored 41
unanswered points, beginning
with Eddie Shaw's 54-yard punt
return for a touchdown. Shaw's
return was the latest special teams
breakdown for the Pirates.
ECU head coach Steve Logan
said up until Shaw's return his
team had preformed well on punt
coverage.
"That was the number seven
punt team in the nation that we

Swim team competes at American
Women defeat Eagles,
men come up short
Eric Couch
staff writer
The ECU women's swimming
team took charge and defeated
the American Eagles 130-105
Saturday in Washington, D.C.
This event marked the first
dual meet of the season for the
Pirates and they won six events
against the Eagles.
Head coach Rick Kobe was
very proud of the Pirate's effort
on Saturday.
"The women were able to
dominate from the start and get
the season off on the right foot
Kobe said.
Dana Fuller won the first indi-
vidual victory of the season in the
1000-meter freestyle with a time
of 10:27.66. Soon after Hollie
Butler took the very next victory
when she won the 200-meter
freestyle in a time of 1:56.35.
Butler also took the 500 free in
5:10.12 for her second victory.
A piece of ECU history was
also set in stone on Saturday as
freshman Courtney Foster won
the 50-meter freestyle with a time
of 24.81. This time marks the
fifth fastest time in the history of
the event for women's swimming
at ECU. Foster also won the 100-
meter freestyle in 53.87 which
falls seventh on the ECU all-time
list.
The
men's com-
petition was
a much clos-
er match-up
but the
Pirate men
could not
top the
Eagles and
Rick Kobe dropped
head swimming coach their season
opener 123-
117.
"The guys lost a fiercely
fought battle but remained close
till the end Kobe said.
Andy Byrnes took the first win
for the Pirates in the 50-meter
freestyle with a time of 21.79.
Adam Gaffey, a last year college
national champion set a time of
9:39.36 in the 1000-meter
freestyle which ranks fourth on
ECU's all-time charts.
On Sunday both teams saw
repeat performances at James
Madison. The Lady Pirates won
their second meet in a row while
the men lost their second straight
to the Dukes.
For the women, Butler had
"The women were able to
dominate from the start and

two victories with wins in the 200
and 100-meter freestyles. Also
Brooke Wise presented a winning
time of 2:11.95 in the 200-meter
butterfly.
Another mark was made in the
books on Sunday with freshman
Heather Hagedorn winning the
200-mctcr backstroke event with
a time of 1:06.80 which is the sec-
ond-fastest in ECU history.
ECU also posted a win in div-
ing with freshman Jessica Hunt
scoring 216.98 on the 1-meter
board.
ECU's men scored seven vic-
tories on the day but it just was
not enough as JMU defeated the
Pirates in a very close meet.
Adam Gaffey had two victories
of his own winning the 1000-
meter freestyle and the 200-
meter freestyle. Richard Chen,
Josh Ltpree and Paul Pinther
also had individual victories for
the ECU men.
The diving team swept the
competition as Willy Hayes and
Ryan Baldwin both posted wins
against the Dukes on Sunday.
Kobe was once again pleased
with both teams on Sunday.
"We are pleased with where
we are at right now and have to
get ready for another tough two
meets next week Kobe said.

Todd Tai.i.madge
staff writer
Over the weekend the ECU
women's tennis team played at
the James R. Nisbet
Intercollegiate at Campbell
University.
The tournament consisted of
players from Charleston
Southern,Coastal Carolina, ECU,
Georgia State, Morehead State,
Hampton, and host Campbell.
The Lady Pirates sent seniors
Anne Svae and Catherine
Morgan, along with freshmen
Meredith Spears and Andrea
Terrill to the tournament.
I Anne Svae was able to get a
number one seed and a bye for
the first round on Friday. She won
her second-round match against
Georgia State's Nina Jansen, 6-3,
6-0. Later that day, she won
against Charleston Southern's
Julie Harnios, 6-2, 6-3.
"I had a lot of confidence
going into this tournament Svae
said. "I have been playing real
good tennis lately
Catherine Morgan lost her
first-round match against Georgia
State's Jovana Kriskapa, 6-3, 6-1
on Friday morning. She was able
to bounce back later that day and
beat Morehead State's Amy
Haybarker, 6-1, 6-0, in her conso-
lation match.
Meredith Spears defeated
Campbell's Megan Cannon, 6-1,
6-1, on Friday before falling to
Georgia State's Kristina Jensen, 6-
1, 6-2. Andrea Terrill came up on
the losing end of her first-round
match, 7-6(7-2), 6-4, against
Charleston Southern's Kim Taber.

ECU grows with
stronger competitors
Playing bigger teams
makes a bigger name
Jim P h e l p s
SENIOR WRITER
ECU's name becomes better
known every time the school plays
bigger, better teams. Pirate athlet-
ics has grown in name over the
years through play with nationally
known teams.
"When you play nationally
known teams you get a great deal
more national publicity Henry
VanSant, assistant athletics direc-
tor, said. "You're on ESPN score-
board, you're on ABC scoreboard
Playing against bigger competi-
tion not only helps ECU's name
grow, but it also helps the universi-
ty's pocketbook. People are more
likely to buy tickets to see nation-
ally known teams.
"Look at the attendance for last
Saturday's game against Army,
which is certainly a nationally
known team, and you see the dif-
ference between that and what we
do against UT-Chattanooga
VanSant said.
Football is not the only sport
that feels these effects. All the
sports share in this, especially bas-
ketball. The Pirate basketball
team also receives a lot of coverage
when it plays nationally known
teams.
ECU's track team has played
many nationally known teams such
as Nebraska, and traveled to other
meets with national powers. This
high-profile competition also helps
recruiting.
"Playing these nationally
known teams helps in recruiting
VanSant said. "All your top athletes
want to play against these national-
ly known teams
While ECU has played many
nationally known teams in the past,
it is currently adding more top
teams to the lineup. The baseball
schedule for this year reflects this
with teams like N.C. State, Wake
Forest, North Carolina and Ohio

Volleyball splits
weekend games
Pirates defeat Vttpnia
Commonwealth
Jason Latour
staff writer'
The ECU Volleyball team earned
a split in its two home Colonial
Athletic Association games this
past weekend, losing a tough
match to William and Mary on
Friday, and earning an impressive
win over Virginia Commonwealth
on Saturday.
After falling behind early
against the William and Mary
Tribe, the team rallied behind the
play of Lucinda Mason who
helped the Pirates claw back into it
before eventually losing the first
match 15-9. The inspired play of
Tara Tobias and Ellen Gazdowicz,
who recorded 12 kills and 12
assists, led the Tribe to a 15-10 vic-
tory in the second match. In the
third'match ECU came out strong,
led by the play of Clinta Claro who
recorded 12 kills in the game, but
the Pirates weren't able to over-
come the strong defense of the
Tribe, eventually losing 15-10.
The Pirates turned it all around
on Saturday with an impressive
straight game win over the VCU
Rams snapping a three-match con-
ference losing streak in the
process.
"After Friday's loss to William
and Mary, I told the athlete's to
just wash it out of their minds, put
it behind them head coach Kim
Walker said. "Apparently they did
that. We came out aggressively and
made better decisions
Claro continued her strong play,
helping lead the Pirates to an early
7-0 lead in the first game before
taking the game 15-9. The Pirates
continued to pound the ball by ral-
lying to a 15-10 win in the second
game. In the third ECU pulled
away from a 9-9 tie late in the game
with the help of Mason whose ser-
vice ace broke the tie. From that
point on the Pirates never looked
back, scoring five of the last six
points to take the game 15-10.
"These athletes decided to for-
get what has happened in the past
and looked almost unstoppable
Walker said.
Mason paced the team, finish-
ing with nine kills, three aces, five
digs and five blocks. Shannon
Kaess also contributed heavily to
the team's strong play, adding eight
kills and nine digs.
The split leaves ECU with a 9-
13 record overall and a 3-5 CAA
record. The squad takes the court
next Friday, traveling to Baltimore,
MD to take on Morgan State. The
Pirates then return to conference
action with an away
match against James Madison
on Saturday, Oct. 31.

"We had preformed beautifully all
year long, we've been coached well.
It wasn't a great run, it didn't
need to be a great run, there was no
contain. We've just got to go back
and reemphasize it again
Against Southern Missippi, ECU
was flagged for holding on four
straight kickoff returns, leaving the
offense with terrible field position
for most of the game. Junior wide-
out LaMont Chappell was called on
to return kicks against Southern
Missippi but had several returns
brought back because of penalties.
Southern Missippi freshman
Derrick Nix led all rushers with 116
yards on 27 carries and scored two
touchdowns. Junior linebacker Jeff
Kerr said Nix was as good as adver-
tised.
Kerr returned to the Pirate line
up after Missippiing the Alabama
game with a concussion. While Ken-
was glad to be back on the field, he
said he was disappointed with the
way the game unfolded.
"It's just sickening to us, really
Kerr said. "We know that we're a lot
better defense than what played last
week. We've just got to come up
with the plays
Logan said making plays turned
out to be the difference in the game.
"The score is not indicative of
the difference in the programs
Logan said.
ECU will look to rebound on
Saturday when the Pirates host the
Houston Cougars. Game time is

Let the
Madness Begin?
You're facing a dilemma. Spending a cold Halloween night downtown
dealing with masses of overzealous and possibly intoxicated souls is
a scary prospect. Then again, the thought of a quiet night at home on
Halloween is a drag. What's a fun-loving student like you to do?
Why not join 2,000-3,000 students and guests and come into Mendenhall
on this night? Midnight Madness, sponsored by the Division of Student
Life, offers a free Halloween bash that's full of stuff to do, free food, free
entertainment, free novelty attractions, and free giveaways. There will be
plenty of chances to win cash prizes, either by winning at the costume
contest or Bingo. Besides the free prizes and giveaways, students can feel
the rush of driving a virtual stock car, learn their fates from fortune tellers,
make a music video, and dance the night away.
Forget the hassle of trick-or-treating for free food! ECU Dining Services is
offering the perfect Halloween menu to satisfy any sweet tooth. Join other
ghosts and goblins at Midnight Madness for free candy apples, cotton
candy, snow cones, popcorn, and peanuts. From 11 p.m. -1 a.m.
Mendenhall will serve a Midnight Breakfast Buffet. Don't miss our
scrambled newt eggs with lizard tails and fish scales, haggish hashbrowns,
ghoulish grits, tombstone biscuits, monstrous milk, and orange blood!
Midnight Madness starts at 9 p.m. and ends at
2 a.m. Students need only present their ECU
One Cards to enter the bash. Each student may
obtain one guest pass, which must be picked
up prior to the event. Guest passes can be
picked up beginning October 26 at the Central
Ticket Office from 8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. or at
the Todd Dining Hall Meal Plan Office
from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. On Halloween, guest
passes may be picked up at the Student
Recreation Center from 11 a.m. - 10:30
p.m. In place of a Saturday night Hendrix
film, Halloween Cartoon Shorts will be
shown as part of Midnight Madness
(guest passes required).
Carve Your
Way to Cash
Enter ECU Dining Services'
Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest
and you could win $100 in cash.
Beginning October 26, pick up a
pumpkin from either Todd or
Mendenhall Dining Hall, carve it
in your spare time, and return it
to either Dining Hall before
noon on October 29. Entries
will be judged and the grand
prize winner will be determined
at Midnight Madness on
October 31.

Halloween is afoot in the Emerald City and it just may be the most
anticipated social event on the ECU party calender.
Downtown streets are shut down to cars while the people min-
gle freely, masquerading through the bowery and passing through
the bars. The open-street atmosphere makes it easy for those in
costume to see and meet their fellow freaks as they wind their way
through the crowd.
The downtown Halloween ceremonies have taken some beat-
ings in the past. A bad rap wasn't even the worst of it. Crowds who
refused to go home when asked by police were maced until they
left
Much of the added commotion and festivity is due to the area's
sudden Halloween population surge. People come from the ends of
the earth for a taste of the ECU Halloween street spectacular. Every
corner of your house ends up slept in. Your cousin and his next
door neighbor from Hoboken pass out, smearing clown make-up
on the kitchen floor tiles. Your roommate decide to have a late-
night gathering for all the people he found dressed as Alice from the
Brady Bunch.
Costumes are very important for Pirates with spirit.
The latest trends in television and scandal, along with the old
standbys, are among what will be seen this year on the scene.
"We sold out of the Monika Lewinsky wigs and berets in six
hours said Party Success' Ian Tortorella. The packages are officially
marketed as "The Intern

Son Volt
Wide Swing TYemolo
9 out of 10
Son Volt is a band. They spawned
from the now extinct country-rock
pioneer band called Uncle Tupelo,
which disbanded in the early 90s.
Jay Farrar (now thesongwriterlcad
singer of Son Volt) worked in col-
laboration with Jeff Tweedy to pro-
duce four almost equally brilliant
records, picking up hordes of fans
spanning the country.
Then, in 1993, following the
release of their finest album enti-
tled Anodyne, Farrar shrugged his
shoulders and left the band high
and dry, causing them to split up
and head down separate roads.
Tweedy went on to form the criti-
cally praised rock outfit Wilco,
while Farrar set up his stakes with
Son Volt.
When Son Volt put out their
first album, Trace, many found it to
be everything they could hope for.
Its delicious blend of hard rocking
riffs and slow acoustic gems was
alluring. Then, in 1997, the band
followed up with the record
Straightaways. This album was
basically a continuation of Trace,
but it didn't do anything to expand
on the sound, and thus was widely
considered a disappointment.
Some started to wonder if Farrar
had run out of ideas.
Well, some people should quit
their wondering and go pick up
the new disk Wide Swing Tremolo.
Son Volt is back in full force, and
this is shown quite clearly from
the start with their opening track
"StraightfaceThe song is a flat-
out rocker, complete with loud
crunching guitars and harshly dis-
torted vocals.
This leads us into the next song
"Driving the View which has the
words "underground hit single"
written all over it. It has a lovely
melody, and the harmonies provid-
ed by bassist Jim Boquist arc possi-
bly the most consistently perfect in
the country rock genre. Indeed,
these first couple songs are a more
hyped-up side of Son Volt than
most of us have ever heard, which
brings us to the third songJodel
Jodel is the biggest waste of
space I have ever listened to. It is 41
seconds of off-key harmonica, and
that is putting it nicely. I hate it.
This song is the sole reason for this
album not getting 10 out of 10. It's
that bad. I'd feel more comfortable
listening to a swarm of 17-year
cicadas climaxing with one unify-
ing yet piercing screech. Nope,
"Jodel" is not a good song.
Just when you think that this
band is completely out of their

Band Review
Cashmere Jungle Lords rock!
Caleb Rose
Assistant Editor
ju Peasant's Cafe was host
rJKfJnf to 'in adventure two
BL Saturdays ago when
Richmond Virginia's
Cashmere Jungle Lords propelled a
packed house into their own little
world of Pulp music.
Imagine yourself buying a-tkket
for a trip to various places around
the world. That is the experienced in
2 hours upon seeing this fantastic
trio. The unique style of music the
Jungle Lords produce could be the
soundtrack to this adventure.
After the opening band, �
Greenville's own King Monkey,
began the evening with fueled
Rockabilly and excessive consump-
tion of Pabst Blue Ribbon, the
Cashmere Jungle Lords took the
stage and made sure everyone's seat
belts were buckled before the adven-
ture began.
After several introductory tunes,
the band hopped into a vintage
Jaguar and went on a spy hunt as
they plowed through "Paradise
from their disc titled Southern
Barber Supply, as well as "Pixie
Dust also from the album. The spy
hunt ended at the beach and it was
time to go surfing. A slew of surfin'
songs filled the ears of the crowd,
among them the album track
"Sweeper
At night on the beach when all is
peaceful, it's pleasant to hear
Caribbean sounds fill the air. The
band took a chance with these
differently flavored songs, noting
that this was one of the first times
that they had been played to the
public. Much to the band's surprise,
the tunes were a hit and with their
closing, the beach adventure was
over.

landed, the "peasants" in the audi-
ence found themselves on the bor-
der of Texas and Mexico listening to

Movie Review
l
Antz rips the rug out from under Disney
Ryan Kcnnemur
Movie Reviewer
4 out of 4 possible Ryans
Hey DisncyPixar Productions! You've
got a new butt to kiss! That's right, kids.
Dreamworks INC. picks up where they
left off with Small Soldiers and make it a
one-two punch with the release of their
newest animated masterpiece, Antz.
Let's begin with the understanding
that this is not a movie for kids. There
are a few curse words (which added to
my enjoyment), a giant army-style fight
scene that depicts soldier ants being
melted by acid-spewing termites, and
ants are burnt to cinders by a human
with a magnifying glass. Pretty hardcore
imagery.
The movie centers around one work-
er ant named Z-4195, voiced by neurotic
Unfortunately, the entire cast was wiped out when the best boy spilled 8 beer at the cast party.
Woody Allen, who is under the impres-
sion that there is more to life than mov-
ing dirt from place to place. Likewise is
Princess Bala, voiced by Sharon Stone,
who is being forced to marry General
Mandible (Gene Hackman) against her
wishes. Mandible, along with the aid of
Colonel Cutler (Christopher Walken)
plans to eliminate all the worker ants by
drowning them, thus making a supreme
society of soldier ants.
Other notable roles are Sly Stallone
as a soldier ant that falls for a worker
ant, voiced by Jennifer Lopez. Also Dan
Aykroyd and Jane Curtin play some
very WASPish wasps.
That's the basic introduction, but
there's more to the story that meets the
eye. This movie is more than just an
excuse to make another cartoon using
Toy Srory-esquc animations. Antz has
political statements out the wazoo. In
fact, it would be a good idea to go out
and read Anthem by Ayn Rand before
viewing it. Themes of socialism run
amok in almost every scene.
First of all, the newborn ants (in lar-
vae form) arc immediately set in front of
a committee and deemed whether they
are suited to be workers, in which case
they arc given a pickax, or soldiers, in
which case they are given a helmet.
Secondly, the ants are not allowed to
think for themselves. They are so used to
doing nothing but work that they actual-
ly enjoy it and ask no questions. They
arc told when to dance, when to sleep,
and anyone that defers from the norm is
punished.
By the end of the film, however, Z-
4195 is able to overcome the elements
and reform the entire commune. The
animation during the final scene is so
realistic, you can actually see the social-
ism crumbling down to the ground.
Antz is a miniature view of our own
society, and the fact that it can poke fun
at it is reason enough to see it. Like the
tag line of the movie states, "Every ant
has his day Let's hope that these partic-
ular ants have more than just one day in
the sun, for these insect stars will be
shining for years to come.

minds, they follow up with "Medicine Hat which is a catchy albeit lyrically
confusing little ditty, and possibly the best song on the disk.
The remainder of the disk is just as strong, mixing the usual spellbind-
ingly beautiful hard-road ballads with the crunchy guitar-fueled rockers
that Son Volt fans have come to appreciate. It's like their other albums, only
better.
On the opening track, Farrar sings of carrying in a new day. A new day,
indeed.

Don't mess with Carrie

Tj-ijr Carrie is just one of
those movies you can
turn to again and again every
Halloween for sheer, unadulterated
shock and creeping terror.
Yeah, but it's a prom movie, you say.
I know, I know. There's no excuse.
Butjusthearmeout
There's something about the lo-fi
filming style, unrelenting carnage
and utter chaos in Brian DePalma's
1976 film version of Stephen King's
first literary success that gives it a
permanent standing above any
other film of its kind since. Many
have tried, and failed, to make prom
night into such a terrifying experi-
ence onscreen.
King's formula is simple enough:
take one girl with groovy telekinetic
powers, add a psycho mom and a
horde of loudmouthed high-school
kids who hate her guts. Shake well,
and serve with a splash of pig's
blood, heh-heh.
Piper Laurie is chillingly one-
dimensional in her role as Carrie's
holy-roller Tori Amos look-alike
mother, a distant but violent crea-
ture who floats from door to door in

vniititi - approaching, it's
time to decide what to do on the big
night Should you go to the movies?
How about billiards or perhaps
singing the night away to Monster
Mash? Maybe a night of dinner and
dancing? Well you can do all of this
and more at the Seventh Annual
Midnight Madness on Halloween
night from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at
Mendenhall Student Center.
There's a little bit of everything
for everyone to enjoy. They'll have
their usual favorites from years past
such as billiards and glow bowling.
"This is our second year we've
done glow bowling said Carol
Woodruff, marketing director of the
department of university unions.
"There are special pins and balls
that glow under black light"
If you are looking for a quick
glimpse into the future or the
answer to some of your undying
questions, check out the fortune
tellers, wizard, or psychic hotline for
some insight.
"Our wizard and the psychic
hodine will be available at the stu-
dent organization booth, while there
will be a couple of fortune tellers in
the Mendenhall lounge and in the
gallery upstairs Woodruff said.
Then there is the ever-popular
video karaoke. Realize those dreams
of becoming a singing sensation
and walk away with a video of your
five minutes of fame.
"Karaoke is always popular
every year" Woodruff said. "It will
be held in room 244 from 9 p.m.
until 2 a.m
There will also be a chance for
you to get your dance on with DJ J.
Arthur from 1! p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Once you've worked up an
appetite with all of the singing and
dancing, head on over to the dining
hall for an all-you-can-eat breakfast
buffet Food will be served form 11
p.m. to 1 a.m.
Contests and games such as
bingo, a pumpkin carving contest
and a costume contest will give you
a chance to win some prizes. See
your R.A. or the resident coordina-
tor for more information.
"We will have cash prizes for the
best male costume, best female cos-
tume, and best group costume
Woodruff saidAll those interested
in participating must be in Hendrix
Theater by 11:30 p.m
According to Woodruff, other
prizes include glow in the dark and
regular mugs, wind-up knick
knacks and official Midnight
Madness t-shirts.
"The ECU Student Stores assist
us in getting those t-shirts printed
each yearrWoodruff said. "We defi-
nitely appreciate their support
There have been some new
events added to the Midnight
Madness line-up.
While going from event to event,
you can stop into Hendrix Theater
to watch cartoon shorts � mini
Halloween cartoons that will be
shown before and after the costume
contest.
The Ghoul Cafe, Mendenhall's
haunted house, has been replaced
this year with Evil Landing which
will be held in the social room. All
people involved are keeping a tight
lip as to what will be going on in the
haunted house. All that has been
said is that aliens will be involved�
-the rest is top secret.

her church. Her other hobbies
include sewing, singing and self-fla-
gellating, plus ignoring and generally
repressing the delicate Carrie in a
house heavy with dark wood and
religious art.
Well, our heroine enjoys the same
warm companionship and good
times at school too, as if that were a
surprise. After joining an attack on
Carrie with tampons in a locker
room in the opening sequence, one
girl feels guilty and gets her
boyfriend, a puffy-haired jock with
GOOD GUY stamped across his fore-
head, to ask Carrie to the prom and
show her a good time.
Can we skip the rest of the movie
and go straight to prom night,
please?! (Why yes, that is John
Travolta with a bucket of pig's blood.
Now hush up.)
Carrie gets herself all duded up in a
gorgeous petal pink satin gown she
made herself, and naturally her mom
has to try to screw things up.
"I can see your dirty pillows she
says, just to keep things light.
"They're called breasts, Mama, and
every woman has them Carrie
answers.
Smart comeback. Did you ace
rhetoric last semester?
So she takes off for the prom, which
is charmingly crammed into the
school gym, not knowing of a
fiendish plot (involving Travolta and
the aforementioned bucket o' pig's
blood) to embarrass her in front of
the school.
DePalma, in his wisdom, saves all the
best stuff for last. Once you've seen
Carrie's terrifying face streaked with
pig's blood, eyes bulging, body
tensed, damnation oozing from
every pore, you'll never forget it.
The scene brands like a hot iron.
Carrie snaps the gym doors shut
with a telekinetic blast, leaving her-
self plenty of time to leisurely extract
the vengeance for which a million
tortured, misunderstood high school
girls' souls have cried out since time
began: total, brutal, indiscriminate
and full of neat pyrotechnics.
'Nuffsaid.

Carpin's girlfriend was mumbling in

point to dictate stories behind the

Surely we'll see our share of
crazy couples this Halloween, like
service with a smirk
guys with hairy chest
wigs and girlfriends
with pitchforks to stick
them with. Of course,
cross-dressing also runs
rampant on this night,
and not just in designat-
ed situations, either.
"Girls are buying
everything sexy, like French Maids
and Sexy Nurse costumessaid Myra
Smith.owner of Party Success.
Around the store fishnet stockings
and sex kitten outfits hang among

tumes.
"We try and push
people to create original
costumes said Michael
Gwaltney, who does the
design work for Party
Makers. "Some people arc
spending 50 or 60 dollars
But the bottom line is that it's not
