Being away from home is a challenge, but
imagine if that challenge was compounded
with a disability.
The university offers a great deal of sup-
port and services to help in aiding these
disabled students. Much of the support and
aid comes from the Department for
Disability Support Services.
ECU is home to around 365 disabled
students. According to Liz Shilliday, asso-
ciate director for the Department for
Disability Support Services, "It is not a
requirement for the disabled students to let
the university know they are disabled
when enrolling. Therefore, we only know
the number of students who are disabled
that have come to us for support, and not
the total number
The Department for Disability Support
Services offers services such as mobility
training for the blind or visually impaired
and interpreting services and Portable
Telecommunication Devices for the deaf.
Hearing impaired students are provided
with sign language interpreters and the
visually impaired are provided with things
such as books on tape and items in larger
print.
In addition to Disability Support
Services, the university also offers four
handicap accessible dorms and six handi-
cap accessible dining halls. ECU Transit

Two members of ECU's Department of
Political Science are sources for information
about the impeachment proceedings
against President Clinton.
Dr. Tinsley Yarbrough has completed a
manuscript for a book about Supreme Court
Justice William Rchnquist, who will preside
at the impeachment hearings.

has eight handicap accessible busses and
one van.
Renovations to many of the dorms and
other campus buildings are underway to
make ECU a more handicap accessible
university.
Beginning last year, ECU started to ren-
ovate dorms and campus buildings by
adding elevators. Jarvis Hall's renovations
will start this year. Once renovations arc
complete, Jarvis will be equipped with an
elevator.
According to Bruce Flye, director of
Facilities Planning, Jones Hall is the next
dorm in line to have an elevate installed.
The Austin Building and Rawl Annex
are two campus buildings that have recent-
ly been under construction.
ECU Transit has eight of their 18
busses available for the use of disabled stu-
dents. They are equipped with lifts for
access to the bus.
"The last five busses we have bought
have been accessible. When we replace the
old buses with new ones, they will also be
accessible said Joey Weathington,

The ECU Panhellenic Council, the
organization which governs campus
sororities and fraternities, has passed a
resolution to co-sponsor only events
held on fraternity property that are alco-
hol-free.
This resolution is set to take effect
in the fall of 2000.
Amanda Garner, the Panhellenic
president, said that she did not want the
tragic events blamed on alcohol at other
campuses to occur at here.
"We hope this resolution will show
the administration, faculty and students
of this campus and other campuses that
wc arc aware of the current issues involv-
ing alcohol across the United States
Garner said.
Assistant Dean of Students Laura
Sweet was delighted when the Council
decided to pass the new resolution, origi-
nally brought about by the students and
voted on in mid-October.
"I think that they will have activities
at the Fraternity and Sorority Houses that
will be much more wholesome Sweet
said.
ECU is the second school in the
nation whose Panhellenic Council passed
this measure. The university followed
suit only a week after University of
Florida at Gainesville passed a similar
measure.
The National Panhellenic Chairman
has cited ECU as progressive in the com-
bat against excessive alcohol use. In
addition, Amanda Garner received a let-
ter of commendation from the Chairman
of the National Panhellenic Conference.
Some members of Fraternities and
Sororities feel differently and object to
the resolution. "I hate to upset the
administration but most incoming stu-
dents are coming to ECU to have a good
time. Let's be honest we're not at

ber of Sigma Phi Epsilon. "This will

staff whiter
There seems to be some
competition on the horizon
for the ECU Dowdy
Student Stores and the
University Book Exchange
(U.B.E).
That competition is
called VarsityBooks.com, a
new college text-based
bookstore on the Internet
that provides an online
option for buying text-
books. That means that
now there is an open mar-
ket for textbook sales,
whereas before there were
only the two student stores.
VarsityBooks.com offers
prices as low as 15 percent
to 40 percent below sug-
gested retail price, a tempt-
ing offer to economy-bound
ECU students. Both U.B.E.
and ECU Student Stores
charge a 20 percent margin
on all high enrollment text-
books. Although
VarsityBooks.com only
offers new textbooks, its
prices equal that of some of
the used books at the uni-
versity bookstores. In a
comparison of the three-
options offered to students
at ECU, VarsirvBiKiks.com
saved $30 after deducting
shipping and handling.
To access the catalog,
students can go online to
www.VarsityBooks.com
and select ECU from the
list of universities. Then
they select the class and
course number from the
alphabetical list of depart-
ments. Every once in a
while thete may be a differ-
ent edition, or paperback
instead of hardcover.
VarsityBooks.com
replaces sales tax with ship-
ping and handling charges.
It is a relatively new
entity, subsisting on credit
card payments only, and not
set up to p.ocess cash or
check payments, making it
difficult for those students
on financial aid or scholar-
ships. The ECU Dowdy
Student Stores accepts
everything except Discover
and American Express.
Moreover, U.B.E. is unable
to take One-Cards and
American Express.
"1 don't feel it
(VarsityBooks.com) is a
problem as of right now,
because the program is so
new said Wanda
Scarborough, director of the
ECU Student Stores.
So far VarsityBooks.com
has made little if any differ-
ence to the Student Stores
sales. U.B.E. does not yet
perceive VarsityBooks.com
as a threat because the web-
site does not sell used text-
books.
Several students at ECU
think VarsityBooks.com
sounds like a good idea, but
they said they are still more
likely to continue to shop at
the university bookstores.
"The long lines are a
drag, but at least I am guar-
anteed service freshman
Kalcb Hobson said.
VarsityBooks.com is not
the only online service
available. The Student
Stores are teaming up with
follett.com to offer more to
the students at large.

Every day, handicapped students at ECU face remarkable challenges that most of us would
never dream of. Not only do these students deal constantly with new obstacles, but they must
also stand with their heads up as some people stare and gawk quietly.
While many of us concentrate on holding doors and other acts of pity for the disabled, TEC
feels that we should put our attention toward improving facilities on campus.
As we begin a three-part series covering the challenges faced by the handicapped and
dealing with lack of facilities equipped to adequately meet their needs, the school has recently
purchased a number of new buildings, trees, Sonic Plazas, as well as beautiful neon lights for
the library, but wheel-chair-bound students still have to navigate around an obstacle course to
get from the handicapped parking to a building's entrance, including our own Student
Publications building.
Areas such as College Hill, along with other dorms, are almost vacant of wheelchair-
accessible areas.
While their numbers may be smaller than other groups, the roughly 400 disabled students
at this university face more disadvantages than most. In this technological age of
advancement, and ECU one of the top 25 most wired college campuses around, it's ironic that
many students cannot reach computer labs, such as the one in Aycock's basement, because of
the stairs leading to the area.
While the school has had many advancements in the past several years, still many changes
need to be addressed. Many of these people are among the bravest most strong-willed people
in the community, and to this TEC dedicates this series to those who have stood up in the face
of adversity instead of quitting at the sight of obstacles.

LETTER
to the Editor
Article missing important pieces
Aww. He thinks my Adidas
are a mate. How cute.
There's something going on
hereand I just can't figure out
what it is. I'm going to let you guys
in on a secret. I'm embarrassed to
say it, but I just need to tell
somebody. Okayhere goes, (deep
breath)
The other day, I was with a
classmate of mine walking past
Joyner Library (official motto:
"You'll never find the entrance. Ha
I la llaaah) It was a rather
beautiful day in the neighborhood,
and indeed a beautiful day for a
neighbor. All of the beauty quickly
ceased, however, when out of the
blue a squirrel bum-rushed me. He
was rtinning at top-crittcr-spced,
and he stopped about two feet
away from me.
I looked at my classmate and
said something like "I don't believe
you've met my friend Mr. Fuzzy.
Well, apparently Mr. Fuzzy didn't
like his new nickname, and he
pounced on my shoe. I, as a semi-
normal person, began to sift
through my internal brain files and
look for any info for remedying a
rabid squirrel attack. This took
about 10 seconds, at which time my
classmate told me to look at what
the squirrel was doing. My idea that
he hated me was proven
completely false. Indeed, he really
seemed to care for mc.or at least
my footwear.
My first thought was "Aww. He
thinks my Adidas are a mate. Mow
cute The first words to come from
my mouth, however, were
"Ewww
Well what would you do, Bubba?
I picked up my foot, but the
squirrel's lust was stronger than
mere gravity. 1 began to wave my
foot back and forth, gently so as not
to hurt the little booger, but it only
seemed to make it worse. I was
getting angry, and the little
castaway was having the ride of his
life.
Finally, I decided to use a stick
to pry him off my foot. There was
only one thing more disgusting at
that time than a squirrel trying to
make love to my shoe, and that was
a squirrel that succeeds in making
love to me shoe. I got him off my
foot and he scurried up a tree, no
doubt to smoke a small pecan-
flavored cigarette. We walked the
rest of the way to Mendenhall in
silence, just as I had hoped.
The reason for my writing this is
the simple fact that the weather is
throwing everything off balance.
There's something wrong when it's
t-shirt and shorts weather in the
middle of January, and there is
really something wrong when the
small woodland creatures go into
heat three months early. And it's all
due to this Global Warming
Theory. My idea is that we should
just forget about this theory all
together. In fact, let's just not listen
to any new theory that scientists
throw at us. Think about it. Every
time those white-coated people
come up with a prediction for the
future, such as the Greenhouse
Effect, erosion of the beaches and
holes in the Ozone, they always
seem to come true! So my idea
is.Jet's just not think about it If
we don't think about it, maybe it
won't happen! Just a thought. Well,
I am getting sleepy. I think I'll go
back to my bomb shelter, er, I mean
my dorm room and take a nap.
An article in the Dec. 8 edition of
The East Carolinian entitled
"Group combats drinking
problem" contained some
erroneous information that I would
like to correct in this response. In
March 1998 The Center for
Counseling and Student
Development hired a staff member
who specializes in substance abuse
counseling and prevention issues.
The ankle incorrectly stated that
ECU was "looking into the
possibility" of doing so. This
position has allowed the university
to expand Its response to alcohol
and other drug abuse.
The article reported that "the
number of drinkers at ECU is
below the national standards A
more accurate statement would
read that the 1997 CORE survey
demonstrated that alcohol
consumption at ECU was very near
the national norms. Even though
our students' drinking behaviors
reflect the fairly responsible
patterns found at other universities,
our group is looking for ways to
address abusive drinking. We are
interested in having students join

French too cozy with Iraq

No doubt when we took on
Iraq in Desert Storm,
coalition forces had to face
Iraqis with the same
equipment that the French
had sold to them.
I believe that the French are
taking an anti-American and anti-
NATO stance in some of their
political and military aims. One of
the most concerning aspects of
their government is that they sell
military weapons , to terrorist
countries.
Inl986theU.S.S.Stark,a U.S.
Navy frigate, was severely
damaged when an Iranian fighter
bomber fired a French-made
Exocet anti-ship missile at the
Stark, killing several American
sailors. France knowingly sold
these powerful weapons to the
enemy of its supposed ally, who if
I remember correctly, saved them
from certain extermination in
WW2. That doesn't to seem to be
very grateful response from a
country who owes its entire
existence to us.
No doubt when we took on Iraq
in Desert Storm, coalition forces
had to face Iraqis with the same
equipment that the French had
sold to them. And no doubt at
least several of the Americans shot
down over Iraq and Kuwait were
shot down with French missiles.
This past December, during what
has been humorously dubbed
"Operation Desert Shield Me
From Impeachment the only
two countries who did not support
the bombings were the former
Soviet Union and France. This
puzzles me. How can France
expect global peace and
tranquility if it sells weapons to
terrorists and supports keeping a
madman in charge of a doomsday
arsenal of chemical weapons?
I feel that we should put the
same economic sanctions on
France as we do on Cuba. I feel
that such an ungrateful country
should not be considered a friend if
it does crap like this to all of its
neighbors who are looking out for
it. And if they're ever in a war again,
I say bah humbug! Let 'em rot!

Joyner assists students through college career
Helping students for

STAFF IIITII
Having trouble with your classes?
Unsure about your major? Need to
just lie down and vent your frustra-
tions about college life to some-
one? Don Joyner, Assistant Dean
of Undergraduate Studies, can
help students with those problems
and others. He has worked at ECU
for over twenty years and has
helped many students find out
who they are, what they want to
be, and where they are going with
their lives and careers.
Upon entering Joyner's office,
a comfy couch sits waiting for a
student to stretch out on it and
either complain about their hor-
rendous schedules or to ask what
they should be doing with their
lives.
"I want students to be comfort-
able Joyner said. "They can just
plop on the couch and I'll try to
guide them through the maze that
ta higher education
Among his many duties,
Joyner coordinates a seminar for
freshmen, GOAD 1000.
This seminar he assists first year
students develop their academic
skills, learning processes, career
decision-making and personal
attributes essential for student suc-
cess.
The course was real informa-
tive said Jamie Newsom, an
ECU sophomore. "The best part
was getting to know Don
"He taught stuff about school
that you wouldn't normally learn.
It was very helpful Newsom said.
Joyner is also in charge of the
Academic Intervention Program.
Students who are in academic dif-
ficulty, which includes students
with a GPA under 2.0, go to a
workshop to improve their skills.
Over 1200 students came to
Joyner's workshop during the first
week of this semester.
"I'm big on
organizationJoyner said. "But the
most important thing that I try to
tell students is to go to class. Bad
grades are usually accompanied by
bad attendance
There is also the Academic
Difficulty Report Program which
sends a survey to every professor
who has at least one freshman (stu-
dents who have under 32 hours) in
their class. The definition of acad-
emic difficulty includes poor test
scores, unsatisfactory homework,
and excessive absences.
Even though students may not
be doing well in their classes,
Joyner tries to get students back on
track.
"I want to raise academic self-
esteem in students Joyner said.
"I try to teach students to take
responsibility for their grades
Joyner also teaches a free study

"Students are his number one pri-

Joyner also serves as an academ-

advises two fraternities and one
sorority.
Perhaps what keeps this man
busiest are students who are strug-

guidance.

This native of Henderson, a
small town north of Raleigh, is a
graduate of the ECU School of

Corporation for three years until
he decided he wanted to do some-
thing more meaningful in his life.
So he came back to ECU to
receive his masters in counselor
education.

NEW YORK (AP) - Sonya Cruz
and Estee Lee should have been
able to see trouble coming.
Instead, the women were arrest-
ed Wednesday and charged with
bilking thousands of dollars from
clients in a fortune telling scam.
The arrests are part of an ongo-
ing crack down - dubbed
"Operation Crystal Ball on for-
tune tellers who tell customers
they're cursed and that the evil
spell can lie lifted with more visits
and an extra fee, police said.
Cruz and Lee allegedly told cus-
tomers, who showed up for read-
ings at their homes, that they were
cursed or had other problems that
required repeat visits.
Investigators said that Cruz, also
known as Signora Rita, had a for-
tune telling show on the radio and
also placed ads in a newspaper to
attract clients. A sign outside her
Baysidc home said she was a psy-
chic reader.
Meanwhile, Lee was welcoming
customers to her $3,000-a-month
apartment on Manhattan's Upper
East Side.
She had a "nice lifestyle said
Deputy Inspector Robert A.
Martin, commanding officer of the
NYPD's Special Investigations
Division.
In some cases, the women
allegedly charged customers more
than $1,000 to remove a supposed
curse or heal problems, such as a
drunken husband, Mar n said at a
news conference.
Some people lost as much as
$30,000 in three other cases of scam
fortune tellers, said Lt. Robert
Groth, commanding officer of the
department's Special Fraud Squad.
The women also allegedly
charged customers for analyzing
samples of bath water or dirt in an
effort to find a cure for a supposed
ailment, Groth said.
Anonymous tips triggered the
investigation, leading undercover
cops to the women's homes, policfc
said. Instead of having their palms
read for a one-time fee, investiga-
tors were told to come back for
more.
"Once you cross the line and tell
people they are cursed and
charge exorbitant fees it's ille-

that point, it's no longer for "enter-

TUALATIN, Ore. (AP) - A toy
company here has a message for
competitors in Texas and
California: Don't mess with an
Oregon bear. Purr-Fection by MJC,
a family-owned business with a line
of 289 stuffed animals, has hauled
the companies to U.S. District
Court to protect its copyright on
Fudge Bear. Marty Castro Sr
designer of the furry-faced toy,
holds the copyright on various ver-
sions of Fudge, which has fake
mink fur, and on a related Ted E.
Bear.
The toys might be small, but the
business is big: Castro says the
company sells several million dol-
lars' worth of cuddly critters each
year.
Now the company wants That's
a Good Idea! in Canton, Texas, and
JS Toys and Emily Toy Collection
of Compton, Calif to stop making
knock-offs of Fudge.
MJC lawyers wrote to That's a
Good Idea! telling them to stop
selling the look-alike bears, but the
Texas company "has willfully and
deliberately ignored this notice
the suit said.
Meanwhile JS Toys has been
making, importing and distributing
the bears, according to the suit
Lawyers say those companies
should know the bears are under
copyright because the bears have
hang tags that say so.
The suit, which was filed
Thursday, says it is no accident that
the That's a Good Idea! bears bear
a strong resemblance to Fudge.
The Texas company's Graze
Bear and Papa Bear W. are "unaur
thorized copies and 'knock-offs' of
MJC's Fudge the court papers
say. The suit also claims that That's
a Good Idea! "purchased hundreds
of MJC's Fudge bears" before
making illegal copies.
The Tualatin company wants an
accounting of profits from the sale
of any Fudge-like bears, and the
award of triple damages to Castro of
MJC, as well as unspecified puni-
tive damages.
It also asks the court to order the
companies to destroy any bears in
stock and recall them from stores;
MJC also wants the companies
ordered to stop all advertising, mar-
keting and sales efforts that
infringe on the copyright

1979 was as an University
Residence Counselor, which is
similar to the resident hall coordi-
nators of today. He did this for
nine years and came to know the
students very well.
"This was the most fun said
Joyner. "I loved it"
In 1988, Joyner began coordi-

he became Assistant Director of
Orientation. In 1991, Joyner was
promoted to Director of
Orientation.
Joyner joined the Department

Despite of the awards he has
received, including the
Panhellenic Faculty of Year 1980,
Panhellenic Outstanding Faculty
1994-1995, and many S.G.A.
awards, his most prized recogni-
tions are kept in a bottom drawer

grateful students fill his drawer.

thing at ECU said Jamie Dove,
senior. "He makes himself avail-
able to students and works on a

Joyner is content with his role at
ECU now and hopes to continue
helping students.

The "War at the Shore" proved to
be fatal for ECU as UNC-
Wilmington's Stan Simmons lit up
the Pirates for 25 points and tallied
up his sixth 20-point game of the
season.
Even down the stretch when the
Pirates were forced to foul, it was
UNC-W who hit 17-21 from the
free throw line to put the nail in the
coffin.
Despite a late rally by the
Pirates, ECU could not tame the
Seahawks in the first contest of the
season between the two rivals.
ECU dropped to a record of 9-9 (3-
5) with the 70-59 loss.
A packed house at Trask
Coliseum was present to watch this
heated game. The 6,100 fans saw a
back and forth competition in the
first half with each team taking its
turn with the lead. In that first half
the Pirates were able to shoot 55
percent from the floor, but that did
not carry over to the second half.
The win for the Seahawks was
their eighth straight victory against
ECU at Trask Coliseum.
The bright spots for ECU were
the plays of Garret Blackwelder
and Brandon Hawkins.
Blackwelder, a junior from Mount
Olive N.C played all 40 minutes
and scored 19 points by shooting 7-
17 for the game. The Morganton,
NC freshman Brandon Hawkins
had a hot hand in the second half
and helped the Pirates rally late
with his 12 points.
"Our guards did some things
well and I liked the way they
played head coach Joe Dooley
said. "The thing with having young
guys on the court, especially on the
road in a tough place to play, is they
will do some good things and some
bad
ECU was hot late in the second
half as they went on a 10-0 run that
cut the lead to five with a huge
three-point basket by another
freshman, Kenyatta Brown.
However, that would be the end of
the ECU run and they did not pull
any closer to the Seahawks.
"We had some opportunities at
the end that we just didn't convert
on Dooley said. "We were down
by just five at one point and didn't
convert. We didn't do some of the
things we needed to win. The
other thing that hurt was we didn't
get much production out of our big
guys
Coaches as well as players
showed signs of frustration after the
loss.
"We are not where we want to
be Blackwelder said at a press
conference on Saturday. "We need
to get better
The Pirates will get a chance for
some sweet revenge against the
Seahawks when UNC-W comes to
Greenville on Feb. 20 at Minges
Coliseum.
Up next for ECU will be yet
another chance for some revenge
against William & Mary who
defeated the Pirates 69-66 on Jan.
16.
ECU will definitely want to
improve on their shooting. The
Pirates combined for 38 percent
from the floor in the match up on
January 16. Also on that day,
William and Mary's Randy Bracy,
last year's scoring leader in the
CAA, scored a game-high 24 points.
The Pirates will have to stop
Bracy and the rest of the Tribe in
order to split the season in wins
between the two teams. The game
will be in Greenville at Minges
Coliseum and the tip off is sched-
uled for 7 p.m.

With another school-record break-
ing performance from Michelle
Clayton, the women's team com-
peted in their second meet for the
semester.
The women traveled to
Blacksburg, VA for the Virginia
Tech Invitational, where the Lady
Pirates were pitted against many
of the country's top track pro-
grams.
"The meet was very competi-
tive. All of the top teams on the
East Coast were there said
Charles "Choo" Justice, head
women's track coach . "We did
very well. This is as well as we
have performed this early in the
season ever
The Pirates were led by the
unmatched Clayton, who set a
new school record in the weight
throw with a toss of 59'8 14 The
throw also established a new
NCAA provisional qualifying mark
for the senior. Clayton placed third
in the event, the highest finish
among the college competitors.
First and second place were taken
by professional throwers.
Another Pirate who raised some
eyebrows at the meet was fresh-
man Toni Kilgore. Kilgore finished
eighth in the triple jump with a

Yet another impressive event
of the day was the 400 meter

Countless Super Bowl parties soon to begin
MIAMI (AP) The image is
frightening: sports writers stoked
on free beer dancing to the music
of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. It could
only happen at the Super Bowl.
The Daddies will perform for
the media Tuesday at one of the
countless parties leading up to
Sunday's game. Some 150,000
people are coming to town, and
most hotels are requiring a four-
night minimum stay, which means
plenty of time to kill before kick-
off.
The result is a week long exer-
cise in excess. No one's complain-
ing' '
"There's so much going on
said Alex Munoz, executive direc-
tor of the South Florida Super
Bowl Host Committee.
"You can go to a Super Bowl,
not go to the game and still have a
great time Since Pro Player
Stadium's capacity is 75,000, many
visitors obviously are making the
trip for reasons other than attend-
ing the Denver-Atlanta game.
"You don't want to go through
life drunk, fat and stupid said
Jeff DeForrest, a local radio talk-
show host. "But if you do, Super
Bowl week is the way to do it
DeForrest has survived a dozen
Super Bowls, but this one might
be his toughest test yet.
For starters, there's not one
media party, but two. They're
sanctioned by the host committee,
as are a cook-off for charity with
top chefs from NFL cities show-
casing regional cuisine, and a
three-day beach party held by the
NFL Players Association. The
bash on the beach is expected to
attract many former and cuHrent.
players.
"Not all of these guys get tick-
ets to the game, and there are a lot
of them in town Munoz said.
"They'll go there and hang out
and watch the game
There are also concerts and VIP
gatherings, as well as countless
parties not considered official
events.
"I heard rumors that Michael
Jordan is throwing a party Munoz
said, "and Deion Sanders is having
The biggest bash is the only
one hosted by the league - the
annual commissioner's party.
Invitations are free but limited,
and one broker is selling them for
$850 apiece.
Some 5,000 of Commissioner
Paul Tagliabue's closest friends -
the media, employees of NFL
teams and other guests - will
attend the soiree Friday at the
Miami Beach Convention Center.
The event requires 154,000 square
feet of floor space, the equivalent
of eight football fields.
"We put an equal emphasis on
three elements: decor, food and
entertainment said Sue
Robichek, who is planning her
fourth commissioner's party. "This
year it's an undersea adventure to
exotic shores. We'll have three
stages of simultaneous entertain-
ment plus smaller stages with live
music
The media party featuring Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy also includes
ice skating in a downtown Miami
park. Munoz declined to reveal
how he'll produce an ice rink in
80-degree weather.
On Sunday, the action moves to
Pro Player Stadium. Major corpo-
rations such as Coca-Cola, General
Electric and Toyota will host par-
ties before and after the game in a
corporate village that includes 20
tents.
"Each one has a different
theme, from Key West to Palm
Beach, to depict the area said
Barton G. "We're bringing boats
and 20-foot palm trees into the
tents, and we'll have a pool with
synchronized swimmers in one of
them G. said. "I'm trying to fig-
ure out how to heat the water so
they don't freeze
G. also plans a menagerie of
subtropical animals.
"We'll have flamingos, iguanas
and alligators he said. "The
biggest alligator is a five-footer,
and then there are babies people
will be able to hold
That's tough to top, but one
other event will try.
"The biggest party is Sunday at
6:18 p.m Robichek said.
That's when the game kicks off.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)
Hundreds of people waited in line,
hoping one of the 6,000 unreserved
seats in Court One would open up.
And it was only a third-round
women's doublesmatch.
One of the players was glam-
orous Russian 17-year-old Anna
Koumikova, but for a change she
wasn't the star of the show.
Even her double faults weren't
remarkable as she and 18-year-old
Martina Hingis, the two-time
defending Australian Open singles
champion, beat veterans Monica
Seles, a four-time singles winner
here, and Jana Novotna, who has
won a total of 73 doubles titles on
the women's tour.
With Hingis as the anchor, the
youngsters prevailed 7-6(11-9), 6-3
Sunday, and the cheers were divid-
ed among the four, players.
In her singles matches here,
Koumikova has received thump-
ing, roaring, whistling support from
capacity crowds - despite double
faulting 31 times while beating
'apan's Miho Saeki in the second
ound and 14 times in defeating
Germany's Andrea Glass in the
third.
Her fans also have lustily
cheered her opponents' misses, but
that wasn't the case Sunday as
spectators shouted, "Go, Monica
and "Come on, Jana
She served only four double
faults Sunday, but held service only
once in five games. Double faults,
two each, were the problem in two
games. In another, she missed an
overhead and Hingis netted a vol-
ley on the crucial points. Then win-
ners by Seles and Novotna did her
in.
But Seles, the only one of the
four who didn't serve and volley,
dropped serve four times, and
Novotna three times.
The 30-year-old Novotna hit �
few brilliant shots, but also suffered
a continuation of the errors that
plagued her in a 6-3, 6-0 third-
round singles loss to Spain's Maria
Antonia Sanchez Lorenzo.
In the quarterfinals, Hingis and
Koumikova meet American Nicole
Arendt and Dutch player Manon
Bollegraf.

Davis wound up 10th overall.
Behind Davis was freshman
Lawrence Ward who placed 15th.
Ward was the second fastest fresh-

ahead of many, more sought-after
freshmen, and demonstrated his
extreme talent in the quarter-milers.
ECU'S depth in the 400 did not
go unnoticed by their competitors.

The Pirates showed their depth
in the 400 by placing second in the
4x400 meter relay. ECU placed
first among college teams, beaten
only by a team of professional run-
ners. Despite their success in the
400, the Pirates were not yet at
their best in many events. The
squad that went to Maryland-
Eastern Shore had a more disap-
pointing meet except for some
strong performances by the Pirates'
distance runners. This slow start
may be attributed to the lack of an
indoor practice facility on campus.
"Wc don't have the conditioning
of the teams that have indoor
tracks. When the weather gets cold,
they can still train but we have to
pull back Carson said.
But even without the indoor
track, the team can still work to
improve for future meets.

op some depth Carson said. "The
