Two students arrested in drug bust
Police confiscated
between 80-100 pounds
Peter Dawvot
assistant news editdr
Two ECU students were arrested
this week for drug and weapons pos-
session.
A small drug arrest early Tuesday
morning led Pitt County Sheriffs
officials to roughly 75-100 pounds of
marijuana worth over an estimated
$88,000, numerous weapons, and a
total of five arrests, two of which were
ECU students.
Police originally went after Marco
Antonio Mondragon on Monday
night with a warrant for his arrest
from tips given by D.H. Conley stu-
dents who were busted earlier this
year for marijuana possession.
When deputies entered
Mondragon's house on 57 Country
Club Dr they found two pounds of
marijuana and seven small plants
under heat lamps in a bedroom, but
no sign of Mondragon. The search
then led to the house of ECU stu-
dents Robert Joseph Woodruff and
Stephanie Bradshaw Woodruff,
where police found Mondragon and
large quantities of marijuana.
Police first discovered a bag of
marijuana belonging to Jamie Garza,
a Texas native. They later returned
to the house with a search warrant to
find three pounds of marijuana under
the end of a table in the den at the
Woodruffs' home on 1440 Rodney
Rd. Another seven pounds were later
discovered in the garage, according
to Jeff Haddock, supervisor for the
Sheriffs Narcotics Unit of the Pitt
County Police Department.
K-9 officers continued to search
the property, where they soon locat-
ed two nylon bags filled with 55, 1-
gallon sized plastic bags of marijuana
in the hood of a truck in the driveway
" never believed that much
pot could come through a
college town
Jason Cox
Freshman
of the Woodruffs' house. Haddock
said that each 1-gallon bag weighs
between 1 and 1.5 pounds. When
asked, no one claimed ownership of
the truck, however, deputies found
Garza's checkbook and wallet in the
cab of the vehicle.
Deputies seized $900 from Garza
as well as over $1,400 from the
Woodruffs, including an assault rifle,
a sawed off shotgun and three hand-
guns. Stephanie Woodruff told offi-
cers that some of the cash seized
came from her pell grant checks, but
it is unsure at this rime if the money
from the grants was used in purchas-
ing the drugs.

ECU students prepare to pucker
up as Alpha Kappa Psi, a newly
established business fraternity, will
be hosting its first annual Kiss-Off.
The event is being held on
Saturday, Feb. 13, as a pre-
Valentine's Day warm-up, in
Christenbury Gym at 5 p.m. The

Kiss-Off is sponsored by several
area organizations such as Frito
Lay, Pepsi and Applebecs. Radio
stations 103.7 and 96.3 will be
broadcasting the live countdown to
the simultaneous kiss. The price
of admission is $2 at the door and
all proceeds will go to benefit the
American Cancer Society.
"Both couples and singles arc
invited to come out and join the
fun while they support a great
cause said Christopher Moffitt,
president of Alpha Kappa Psi.
They will also be holding a raf-

cameras and free dinner passes. A
raffle ticket is included in the price
of admission and additional tickets
can be bought for $1. T-shirts will
be sold for $8, with a raffle ticket

Winter power bills anger students

. With some balances more
than doubling and others
approaching $500 last month,
about 1,000 of GUC's 50,000
customers questioned their
latest bills.
In January and mid-sum-
mer, when residents tend to
use more power heating or
cooling in their residences,
there is usually steady traffic
in the downtown office and
back-to-back calls to service
agents.
With temperatures reach-
ing high 60's lately and heat-
ing units not running as
often, people are wondering
what the problem is. Some
customers have forgotten the
period of frigid weather in
, December that had their
heaters pumping. That right
there is enough to make a bill
increase.
But where does that leave
ECU students who were not
here during that time period?
Jonithan Brantley, a junior
majoring in Biology, lives in a
house near campus with 5
other people. Over Christmas
break, while the house was
empty, their bill almost dou-
bled.
"Sometimes it seems like
our bills are higher when we're
not even there. How can that

A sold-out house will be given the
opportunity to view one of the pre-
miere dance ensembles in the
nation.
The Alvin Ailey Repertory
Ensemble, one of the nations best
known modern dance groups will
perform at Wright Auditorium on
Friday, at 8 p.m.
The Repertory Ensemble which
began its debut in 1974 was first put
together as a way to help talented
students from the Alvin Ailey
Center make the
transition from
the studio to the
stage. The pro-
fessional troupe
emphasizes the
spirit and energy
of young talent
along with cre-
ative visions of
today's emerging
choreographers.
Under the artistic
direction of
Sylvia Waters,
members present
performances across the nation
each season.
Among the Ensemble members
are dancers from throughout the
U.S the Virgin Islands, as well as

UNC-System proposes
new applications
Plan offers alternative
route for students
Terra Steinbeiser
staff writer
The University of North Carolina
system is proposing a new admis-
sions applications process to help
deal with the growing number of
prospective students.
The idea behind the new sys-
tem is if a student is not accepted
into the university of his or her
choice, their application will auto-
matically be sent off to alternate
schools for consideration.
While some people think that
the new process will help to reas-
sure students they will get into
school somewhere, others feel it
will create too much standardiza-
tion of the applications.
"I think it's a great idea said
Brandon Stecker, a high school
junior. "It's really going to save a lot
of time and trouble and stress for
students
The new application process is
just one of the adjustments the the
UNC system is considering to

Garza and the Woodruffs were

face possible suspension from

dean of students, clarified the con-
sequences of actions the school
may take.
"What we generally try to do is
separate the crimes. Cases of pos-
session we usually handle through
a rehab program Sweet said.
"Others we try to separate from the
institution; we don't tolerate that
from our student body
Many ECU students, though
not completly surprised that others
are dealing, are amazed that such a
large amount has been seized.

GUC's Energy Services Division
offers free assistance in helping
their customers to conserve energy.
"We are glad to come to apart-
ment complexes or dormitories to
inform students of how to save
energy Yakim said.
The workers conduct surveys
and audits of structures, checking
for possible leaks and ways to use
less energy. The four-member
department is booked for the next

The department conducted 46
surveys last month, 42 in
December and 42 in November.
Officers check for everything form
toilet leaks to dirty air filters.
"We are one of the few in the
state that offer help to understand
any high bill concerns Yakim

One important tip to help lower
your bill is to keep your thermostat
between 65 and 68 degrees.
Heating and cooling accounts for
about 80 percent of the average
bill, Yakim said.

Tommy Yarborouoh
staff writer

Gettysburg, Pa site of the bloodiest
battles ever fought in the Western
Hemisphere, will be led by Professors

tion of the Gettysburg cemetery.

National Military Park features more
than 1300 monuments, among them
the North Carolina Memorial on
Seminarv Ridee. placed in memorv of
the more than 15,000 North
Carolinians who fought Gettysburg,
nearly half of whom were killed,
wounded or captured during the bat-
tle.
Fee for non-students who wish to
join the tour is $125, plus hotel
expenses. ECU students will be
charged $75.

SpVs we approach Valentines Day, we at TEC have been giving more and more thought to
tjaK fact that even though it is a special day to those who have love in their lives, it can be a
drag when you don't have anyone to share it with. Many students have been there, sitting
le in your room, watching movies about people in love, and eating pizza with red peppers
It look more and more like little hearts every time you look at them.
fell, cheer up! We have come up with a few good ideas for the lonely-hearted folks. Instead
'doing nothing, you could do something such as
jearn the basics of a foreign language. We believe that this will be a fruitful activity, seeing
apiow it can promote communication between diverse communities. Pig-latin does not count,

Guys, you can stop worrying about the fact that Mary-Beth-Sue-Ellen doesn't care for your
(jompany, not to mention your body odor that is so bad that it interferes with satellite trans-
missions, and take a trip down to the Rec Center to pump iron, run the track, or just play rac-
(juetball, even though you don't know the rules.
! You can also get together with some friends with similar odors and go to the Silver Bullet,
r establishment where you can actually buy some female attention. Hooray for America!
5 Girls, you can get together with some of your friends and take out all those little memory
lioxes that you keep under your bed - the one that had all that special stuff that your little
Rookie gave you before he dropped you like a bad habit. Place all that stuff into a trash can
ttnd torch it Friends-style. That should make you feel better, and maybe you'll meet a nice
firefighter because of it.

There are many other alternatives, but we can't think of them right now. Just try not to

think about it, or pretend that it is some other holiday, like Flag Day, St. Patrick's Day, or

Face if we're a party school
we start raising our stan-
dards too high, we will lose
I good students who decide
'ey are too smart to go to a
party school.
?
I recently read in the News and
C bserver about the Chancellor's
p an to expand ECU over the next
li i years and to increase the stan-
d irds of admission. Well guess
v, wt I think of that - phooey. I am
ji st a bit skeptical of all these new
fi lgled programs and how they
win be implemented.
Here is a non-politically correct,
real world representation of what
ECU is to the average NC Citizen:
a moderately large, moderately
selective public sch toI in the mid-
dle of Tobbacoville, with a great
bar scene, and filled with students
who couldn't get into Chapel Hill,
but didn't want to go to
Appalachain or Charlotte. And as
much as we deny it, we cannot
rival large prestigious schools
because of our "party school" stig-
ma.
Let's face it, we are a decent
university in a party town. If we
start raising our standards too high,
we will lose good students who
decide that they are too smart to go
to a party school. Our largest
redeeming factors are our School of
Medicine, School of Education
and our School of Business. The
most of the other programs are
underfunded and mediocre, so we
can have a better athletics depart-
ment
And if the enrollment does
increase substantially in the next
ten years, there will be no guaran-
tee that the education will get any
better. Of course the school will
get more money, but parking is
already a problem, many of the
campus buildings would have to be
added on to, and we'd need con-
struction of at least ten or more
new residence halls, including
maybe some like Ambler Johnson
at Virginia Tech, which houses
over 1,000 students alone. And of
course, it will be reflected in our
future tuition rates.
I personally wouldn't want to
see this place get any bigger.
Greenville doesn't have the
resources or the housing to hold
another 10,000 students. Rent on
existing apartments would double.
Tuition and those mysterious
"fees" would skyrocket. The edu-
cation will not get any better
unless we add more technical pro-
grams, and possibly have a school
of engineering. Then we could
really be a world class institution.

A letter to Ryan's true love
' wine you and dine you,
and you will start to quiver. I
know you will. I'm that good.
Dear Honeybunny,
This Sunday is Valentines Day, the
day of love. Not the kind of love
that Bill Clinton has for fine cigars,
but the kind of love that can only
exist between a man and a woman;
you and me. You need to do what
any good-natured woman would
do, and that's leave that chump
and come home to me. I'm serious.
And why wouldn't you?
Everybody knows that I'm the
choicest cat in the whole college.
Think about it. I got it all. A phat
ride, a letter jacket with my Ping-
Pong medals all over it, and a vast
array of knowledge of how to
please a woman, which you obvi-
ously are.
I think you're dope. I know you
feel the same about me. Why are
we wasting'time, baby? We both
know how hot we'd be together.
We could walk down the street,
and everybody would be like,
totally staring at us, you know? It
would be like that movie
Footloose, except without all that
dancing and stuff. I'd be Kevin
Bacon, and you'd bethat one girl.
You know the one.
And about all those rumors. They
ain't true. Susan didn't mean any-
thing to me. She's got some sort of
brain malfunction or something,
sugar. You can't trust anything she
says. Same thing about Brittney. I
only wanted us to be friends, but
she wanted more, and my homey
MC Russell will attest to that fact,
my love. She was like, all over me
when we went to the pizza place. It
was embarrassing, and I was all,
"Look chick, you better cool it.
Everybody knows that I ain't with
you. You'd better recognize But
she kept on trying to kiss me, so I
just took her home, but nothing
happened. Trust me, sweetbuns.
I'd never do that to you.
And another rumor that I'd like to
put to rest is this one. I have never
worn a dress, and I doubt I ever
will, unless you ask me real nice,
baby. I can't make it clear enough
that I will do absolutely anything it
takes to get your love, girl. I will
pamper you to the point that you
will go crazy, like a badger. I'll wine
you and dine you, and you will
stan to quiver. I know you will. I'm
that good. You'll see.
I'll escort you to the new Italian
place, Finelli's I believe it's called.
There I will allow you to order any-
thing your pretty heart desires. You
can even get the Filet Mignon, if it
is your wish. And you will have gar-
lic breadall you want. And if you
want to order an extra baked pota-
to with your meal, please don't
hesitate. I will carry extra packets
of sour cream in my coat pockets,
just in case you need it. That's just
my way of saying that I will take
care of your every need.
Just to recap, I will be your love
slave. I'll take you home and put
on some Barry Whitc.that one
song that he does about love. You
know the one. Just leave that fool,
and I will show you what a real
man can do. Give me one chance,
and I will do all the things you and
your girlfriends talk about during
your little slumber parties with all
that junk on your faces. Please
dumpling, be my valentine, and
I'll give you the best five to seven
minutes of your life.
Yours in love and everything that
goes with it,
Ryan Dee Oh Double Gee

Lovers need fulfillment
is a natural tendency of
everyone-and a healthy ten-
dency-to seek happiness and
fulfillment.
It is no secret that Valentine's Day
is looming around the corner. For
some, it is a day to draw pink and
red hearts all over the 14th block of
the calendar, and alas, for others, it
is a day to completely fill the same
block with a black marker. Despite
the amusing irony of the official day
of love being represented by a saint
who was martyred, the fourteenth
of February winds up becoming
the be end all, be all of our feelings
for another individual.
It is also ironic, although not as
amusing, that many relationships
have a tendency to fall apart around
this time of year. It is probably
because with the pressure of the
"big day" comes a kind of account-
ing of what the relationship
means�or what it doesn't mean
anymore.
Why does Valentine's Day cre-
ate so much pressure for everyone?
After all, it is meant to be the
embodiment of happiness and ful-
fillment through a loved one. The
pressure stems not from trying to
love but rather trying to be loved. It
is a natural tendency of everyone�
and a healthy tendency�to seek
happiness and fulfillment, and the
easiest avenue to that is through
someone else. Even though that is
the easiest way, it is certainly not
the best. No one can ever love any-
one unless they can be happy with
themselves. To seek acceptance
from someone else in the attempt
to accept yourself, while on the sur-
face may be sufficient, will lead to
problems and emptiness down the
road.
V
Looking for someone to com-
plete you and fill a void in your life
is also futile. A companion should
compliment your life and goals�
not supplement them. This may be
a disappointment, but when the
girl in "Jerry Maguire" told him
that he completed her, that was the
tip-off that the whole relationship
was off-balance. If there ever is a
time to find completion, it is not
when you are in college. The rate
of individual change in college is so
frequent and constant that invest-
ing time and interest in someone
can be futile.
On the bright side, many people
have and do find fulfillment and
happiness, so Valentine's Day is not
a morbid day of inventory of the
soul for everyone. The key is not to
settle for happiness or fulfillment,
but to wait until someone comes
along that meets both aspects of a
relationship. If you are not one of
the blessed individuals who have
found both, on Sunday it's like that
old song instructs: "If you can't be
with the one you love, love the one
you're with

How did this Hallmark-boost-
ing, lace-filled holiday begin?
Historically, there were three St.
Valentines. The most famous one
was a Roman priest who lived dur-
ing the third century. The emperor
Claudius II had decreed that no
marriages would take place so his
army would fill up with men. His
reasoning was that if men did not
marry, they would not mind joining
the army. Valentine started to
marry people in secret, until he was
discovered and executed. He was
canonized and his saint day became
Feb. 14.

Ambassadors contribute to campus
Members are official

F. R i c A S i K i: s
STAFF WRITBR
There are various organizations on
campus that exhibit what our uni-
versity is all about. One of the
many arc the Ambassadors.
"We are the official hosts of
ECU said Angie Lynch, Secretary
of Ambassadors. "We are a student
service organization dedicated
toward building esprit de corp
between students and alumni
Recently, the Ambassadors
inducted 26 students into the orga-
nization at the ceremony, held at
the Hilton in Greenville.
Ambassadors work closely with
the chancellor and alumni relations
as a group.
Chancellor Richard Kakin was
an honorary guest at the inductions.
"Ambassadors are a very impor-
tant part of ECU liakin said.
"They serve as official hosts to our
guests as well as providing a num-
ber of other services that enrich the
University
"The spirit of cooperation given
by the ambassadors is something
that my wife and I, in particular,
appreciate as we greet university-
guests throughout the year Eakin
said.
Ambassadors also participate in
various service events such as work-
ing concession stands at home foot-
ball games, tutoring, and street
clean-ups. For their participation
each Ambassador receives a certain
amount of service hours. In com-
pletion of 75 accumulated service
hours, a service pin is given. On the
night of inductions, eight
Ambassadors received their first
pin. The second pin was presented
to those who had accumulated over
234 hours. Amy Van Voltenburg,
Justin Bailey, and Myeisha
McQueen were among the three to
receive this pin. The third pin,
named the Purple Pirate Pin, was
presented to Elizabeth Rooney,
who has been a member of
Ambassadors for five years now.
She received this award for accu-
mulating over 468 hours. The ser-
vice hours of each Ambassador are
recorded through a checklist policy,
in which each member is expected
to fulfill a certain amount of events.
"I feel like we have a good group
this year and the amount of pins we
gave out was really indicative of the
caliber of people we have recruited
for Ambassadors said Amy Van
Voltenburg, checklist coordinator.
During Homecoming 1998,
Ambassadors participated in and
won a house decorating competi-
tion. Ambassadors won the Spirit
Cup , which was achieved by col-
lecting an enormous amount of
canned goods.
Jon Strickland, an Ambassador,
also represented the group as this
year's Homecoming King.
"I think it's exciting. We do a lot
for the school said Elizabeth
Woodromc, inductee. "We are a
diverse group of people who are all
in it to make the University a better
place

When Brian Tuck, the president of

as alcoholics and troublemakers,

of joining for a good time. He even

Many sororities and fraternities
on campus have made an effort to
eliminate these stereotypes while
lending a hand to the community.
Annually, Phi Kappa Psi raises
money for the Greenville
Community Shelter through a pro-
gram called Kool-Aid, in which the
brothers contribute and raise
money to put on a concert.
"Our ultimate goal is unity and
returning good deeds to the com-
munity, which is a common pur-
pose that all fraternities share said
David Bucci, public relations chair-
man of Phi Kappa Psi
"Three weeks prior to last year's
concert, the Greenville
Community Shelter was broken
into and about $4000 worth of dam-
age was done, so the donation
could not have come at a more
opportune time Bucci said.
"It feels great to give something
back to the community said
Tyler Bryan of Phi Kappa Psi.
Theta Chi is another fraternity
that is a large contributor to the
community.
"Every spring, we participate in
a fund-raiser for the Special
Olympics where we ride a seesaw
for 24 hours aaid Mick Smith,
Theta Chi member.
This event will occur this
semester on March 27-28 from 11
a.m. on Saturday until 12:30 p.m.
on Sunday. The brothers will gath-
er on the corner of Greenville
Boulevard and Red Banks Road to
collect money from passersby.
According to Smith, the brothers
approach people and ask if they
would like to contribute funds to
the Special Olympics. Generally,
the public response is overwhelm-
ing and they are more than willing
to give to a good cause.
"For the past five years, Theta
Chi has been the largest contribu-
tor to Greenville's Special
Olympics said Eddie Jappell,
Theta Chi chaplain. "We also try to
send at least 15-20 brothers to vol-
unteer at the Special Olympics
Alpha Phi sorority gives back to
the community by participating in
various volunteer activities.
"We've volunteered for the
Boys and Girls Club, Sunshine
Gardens and Adopt-a-Highway
said Angie Stender, president of
Alpha Phi.
This sorority is more focused
toward the volunteer aspect of
community service rather than
fund-raising. The hands-on experi-
ences the members receive prove
to be rewarding and individually
satisfying.
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority rais-
es money for the Robbie Page
Memorial in Texas and Chapel
Hill. This is a play-therapy pro-
gram for children suffering from ill-
nesses. At Christmas, they volun-
teered at the Homeless Shelter and
the Soup Kitchen. For the most
part, they try to do community ser-
vice at least once a month. Their
service goal this semester is to work
with underprivileged children.

Drug dealer's faith in
psychic sends him to jail
MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - A drug
dealer who got bad advice from a
psychic could spend as many as 10
years in prison after rejecting a plea
bargain.
Bernardo Arroyo, 26, was con-
sidered a minor player in one of
Stanislaus County's largest drug
rings. Federal prosecutors offered
him a deal that would have result-
ed in a two-year prison sentence
for his involvement with the Tello
family.
He was convicted late last
month of conspiracy to distribute
methamphetamine, as well as a
separate charge of distributing
methamphetamine.
Arroyo rejected the deal after a
Modesto psychic assured him that
he would never spend a day
behind bars. Arroyo then waived
his right to a jury trial and placed
his fate in the hands of U.S.
District Court Judge Oliver W.
Wanger.
A drug agent said Arroyo, the
only defendant who is not related
to the Tellos, was assured by the
psychic that he never would be
convicted.
For an extra $8,000, the agent
said, the psychic offered to put a
curse on Servatius and the drug
agents who investigated the case.
He said Arroyo didn't want to
spend the money and declined.

MARYVILLE, III. (AP) - Alexia
Eberhan thought her stomach was
giving her fits. The nurse at
Anderson Hospital didn't know
what to think.
So excuse Eberhart's surprise
when a 6-pound, 9-ounce baby
started making her way into the
world late Wednesday night.
After feeling ill with stomach
pains, Eberhan had her parents
take her to the hospital.
Eberhart's mother, Almeda
Lahr-Well, said that while her
daughter was in the examining
room, the doctor came out looking
for her to tell her the head was
crowning. "I said, 'What head?
"He said, 'The baby's head "I
said, 'What baby?" Lahr-Well
said.
Ken Smith, trauma nurse spe-
cialist, said nurses didn't suspect
Eberhan was pregnant in pan
because she didn't look pregnant.
"She had a flat sumach Smith
said. "It wasn't noticeable because
the baby had already dropped into
the birth canal
Eberhan said she had not
gained any weight and never had
morning sickness or any of the
other obvious signs that would
have alerted her to a pregnancy.
Her father, Ralph WeU, called
the birth a miracle.
"The baby was almost full-
term, but for Alexia to have had no
knowledge about it and no prenatal
care, it's a miracle to have an appar-
ently healthy baby he said.

Reserved seating for club members

Students confused about
reasons for benefit
Morgan Hefner
staff writer
There is a growing concern within the
ECU student body regarding the reserved
seating for Pirate Club members at home
basketball games.
Those who have attended ECU games
at Minges Coliseum will recognize these
seats as the purple seats with backs on
them.
Free tickets are given to students who
present a valid ECU One Card at the tick-
et office prior to each home game. When
the student section fills up no more free
tickets are given to students until 15 min-
utes into the game. After that, additional
seats that have not been sold are given to
students.
This policy applies to all the seats in
the coliseum except those reserved by the
Pirate Club. These seats are not given to
students even if all other sections are full.
"Excellent said Dennis Young, Pirate
Club director, when asked to describe his
reserved seat for Pirate home games. This
seat is used by Young at every home
game. Young also said that he was not
aware if students were allowed to sit in
unoccupied Pirate Club seats or not.
Some students who attend many of the
Pirates' games do not understand why
they cannot sit there if the seats are not
being used by Pirate Club members.
Senior Mike Albergini, who has attended
every home game this season and has
even traveled to Wilmington to see the
Pirates in action is one of many students
who feel disadvantaged.
"The students seats are not as com-
fortable as the seats with backs on them
Albergini said. "Students should be
rewarded for coming to games
ECU senior David Crater also thinks
students should be able to sit in die pur-
ple seats if they are not being used by
Pirate Club members.
"East Carolina and the basketball
games should be about the students
Crater said.
The consensus among the student
body here at ECU is that the students
make up this university and should be
able to use the seats when they are vacant.
Most ECU basketball games are not
sellouts. But the ones that are usually fill
the enure facility, and this includes the
Pirate Club's seats.
The Pirate Club gives alumni a chance
to support their alma mater through both
giving money to the sports programs here
at ECU, and by allowing them to give
their vocal support at games along with
current students. Although the basketball
program does not draw the same fan sup-
port as the football program, the games
are still important and the Pirate Club is
an organization that helps support basket-
ball and the university.
Reserved seats for Pirate Club members slay empty during most of ECU's basketball home games.

Blaine Deniiis
senior writer
Ranked in the NCAA top
25 in two events, Pirate
swimmer Adam Gaffey is
causing waves in the CAA
conference and around the
country.
According to the NCAA
Division 1 rankings,
Gaffey is 17th in the 500
meter freestyle and 18th in
the 1650 meter freestyle
events. With a winning
record throughout the sea-
son and the top 25 results,
Gaffey has high hopes for
the Conference
Championship Feb. 18-20
in Charlotte, N.C.
"I want to come out
with all guns firing and do
a good job for the school
Gaffey said. "My goal is to
win conference in my two
events and then go to
Nationals
The Conference
Championship will
determine which
swimmers go on to com-
pete at the national level.
Gaffey believes his aggres-
sive attitude and mental
strength will help him suc-
ceed at both these events.
"I swim well at the big
meets Gaffey said. "I
train very hard and get
pumped up. I really don't
like to lose
Although Gaffey is
expected to do well in both
the 500 and 1650 freestyle
events, he is more confi-
dent with a longer race like
the 1650.
"It's the longest race
they swim anywhere

Gaffey said. "My time is
better and we really train
hard for that event. We
don't go in unprepared
Often praised for his
natural talent, Gaffey is
quick to credit much of his
success to the coaching
staff here at ECU.
"Ninety percent of my
success is that I have really
awesome coaches Gaffey
said. "Coach Moody
knows what I need and is
real excited during prac-

coaches are impressed with
Gaffey's hard work and
have high expectations for
his future at ECU.
"His work ethic is great
and he is a very coachable

McGee Moody said.
"When he goes in the
water you know that he is
going to win. He has the
potential to go a long way
Gaffey ended the '99
regular season with two
individual wins against
UNC-W on Jan. 30. Even
though the Pirates lost the
meet, head coach Rick
Kobe is pleased with
Gaffey's performance and
expects him to make the
NCAA Championship.

Tennis teams begin spring season as victors
Men and women won every
singles match over Asheville
Mario Scherhal1 fer
sports editor
Both tennis teams started the season with a
'Blitzkrieg' by winning all their matches in
an impressive and quick manner.
ECU's men's tennis team hosted its first
match of the young season, defeating UNC-
Asheville 4-0, while the Lady Pirates won
with an imposing score of 5-0 over the
Bulldogs.
"I didn't know how solid UNC-Asheville
was and I was very pleased with the way we
played said Tom Morris, ECU head men's
and women's coach. "We played hard and
fair and we did a lot of things we were work-
ing on very well
The women's team captured five singles
victories, all in straight sets, and the men's
team decided the battle early by winning
the points for the doubles competition and
by winning the following three singles
matches.
According to Morris, Lady Pirate fresh-
men Hrushida Kamthe, Carolina Torres,
and Meredith Spears, who won their singles
matches at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 posi-
tions, respectively, were nervous before
their matches but did in no way disappoint.
Junior Asa Ellbring and the remaining
senior Catherine Morgan rounded out the
Pirate victory by winning their matches in
straight sets, too.
The men's team took the lead by win-
ning the doubles matches at the No. 2 and
the No. 3 positions with Michael
HuezStephan Siebenbrunner and Dustin

important in our matches

ful couples.
"We know that the doubles are important

"That's why we work on it during practice
Roope Kalajo, who defeated UNCA's
Ivan Lalic 6-3. 6-2 at the No. 1 singles posi-
tion, proved to be ECU's top player on the
team. Oliver Thalen and Hall decided the
match up with the Bulldogs by winning
their'matches at the No. 3 and the No. 4
positions, respectively. The remaining
games of Siebenbrunner, Slate and Huez
were halted thereafter.
"My problem so far is that I need a set to
get started said freshman Michael Huez,
who is supposed to be the best-conditioned
player on the team. "After that first set I felt
confident though and would have won the
match if if wouldn't have been halted.
'The team proved to be in good shape.
We have to wait for upcoming tougher
matches to say anything besides though
The Pirates will next host Barton College
on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 2:30 p.m. on
ECU's tennis courts. The Lady Pirates will
host Mt. Olive College and Campbell in a
double-header on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 9
a.m. and at 1 p.m respectively, in
Greenville.

Do you have an interest in playing
sports but did not quite get the schol-
arship you were hoping for?
Maybe you played a little soccer,
rugby or lacrosse ifi high school and
you're looking for some intercolle-
giate competition. Well, the ECU
club sports department is the place
for you to put your athletic talenf to
the test.
Club sports offers students, facul-
ty and staff a way to compete in a
variety of sports while allowing for
leadership opportunities. From soc-
cer to kayaking, volleyball to Tae
Kwon Do, club sports has something
for every athlete at any skill level.
Gray Hodges, head of club sports,
said that Recreational Services sup-
ports teams by providing equipment
and practice spaces. Hodges also said
that each team submits a budget for
the year requesting funding for trav-
el expenses, tournament fees and
new equipment.
For all participants, each team has
a detailed constitution that outlines
specific requirements, such as GPA.
Candice Voigt, co-captain of the
women's ultimate frisbee team,
Helios, said that they arc always
looking for new players. The team
keeps recruiting members who have
some general athletic ability but are
open to anyone willing to learn and
wants to become involved.
"We always want new players who
will be dedicated to the team Voigt
said.
This year the Helios' goal is to
make it to the national tournament in
Colorado in May.
Voigt, now coach and administra-
tor for the team, got involved three
years ago because, "the sport is just
so much fun
And now she feels it's a popular
way to exercise, meet new people,
travel and compete
"I really love competing with a

Film wants Duke in ads
DURHAM (AP) A Nike film
crew is in Krzyzewskiville, gather-
ing footage for six television com-
mercials to runduring the NCAA
basketball tournament.
Most of the footage was shot at
Duke Monday, although not all the
spots are about the Duke team.
The crew was wrapping up
Tuesday by shooting shooting tape
of students in Duke's annual bas-
ketball tent city, named for men's
basketball Coach Mike
Krzyzewski, where students gather
each season to camp for tickets.
"There's so much energy and
enthusiasm and heritage here at
Duke University around basketball

team and we're proud of the associ-
ation said Simon Pcstridge, a
spokesman for Nike. Nike pro-
vides Duke's basketball team with
uniforms and shoes, although play-
ers may choose to wear other shoe
brands said Mike Cragg, a
spokesman for Duke's Athletics
Department.
Duke's status as the nation's No.
1-ranked college basketball team in
the latest Associated Press poll, is
also a big reason for Nike's interest
in featuring the team in ads.
Coach K will appear in one ad.

They're also adding additional

Maryland games, Nike is going to
mix some tents in to make it look

Till Elit Carolinian
Charlotte Speedway
coniinuid from pigi It
commonplace in team sports, the
Lowe's deal represents a fust for
stock car racing's premier circuit.
Charlotte, a 1.5-mile super-
speedway built in 1960 in the north
Charlotte suburbs, also was the first
facility in Winston Cup racing to
offer stock publicly and the first to
build luxury suites and condomini-
ums.
This will do nothing but help
our identity Wheeler said. The
folks at Lowe's are great marketers,
and that's what we need in this
sport. We've got another couple
levels to go up in this sport, and I
think they can help take us there
Lowe's, based in North
Wilkesboro, N.C has 487 stores in
20 states. The company already
sponsors a Winston Cup team and
Lowe's spent an estimated $30
million in racing last year and
expects that figure to climb to $40
million this year, chairman and
chief executive officer Bob Tillman
said.
This makes perfect sense for
us because we both have the same
target market Tillman said. "Of
all sports marketing activities, this
one yields the highest return of all
because the fan loyalty is greater in
NASCAR than any
other sport
Wheeler said the money from
the name change would be used to
add seats, roads and parking at the
track, which will be able to seat
about 156,000 people for the next
Winston Cup race, the Coca-Cola
600 in May.

Falcons
player
charged
�-�
MIAMI (AP) Another Atlanta,
Falcons player is taking a legal hit1
Receiver Tony Martin, 33, whou
caught five passes in the Falcons'
34-19 Super Bowl loss to Denver-
returned to Miami on Monday
appearing in court in shackles tau
face money laundering and con
spiracy charges. � i
Pro Bowl safety Eugeneu
Robinson was arrested the night
before the Super Bowl on charges'
of soliciting oral sex from a femalen
undercover police officer. "j?
Robinson is due back in court
March 2, but Martin is potentially
is in much deeper legal trouble. ��
"I'm not guilty of anything?
Martin said after being released oK
dire 250,000 bond. "This who7
thing is ludicrous. After this trial k
over, I will be cleared
Martin's legal troubles spring
from his longtime relationship
with Rickey Brownlee, a convictjf
ed drug dealer known as
mayor of Opa-Locka" for
Robin Hood style.
"He would pass out turkeys at
Thanksgiving, give bicycles to liry
de kids. But he was also selling"
heroin and cocaine Willianft
Mitchell, special agent in charge ate
the DEA's Miami office, said
when Brownlee was arrested in!
January 1998.
Martin was under investigation
for months. His name appeared
Monday on the thud superseding
indictment in the case, which also
involves cocaine and heroin traf-
ficking.
The receiver is not accused ofj
involvement in Brownlee's drug
business. Prosecutors said h�,J
wrote checks to lease luxury carjj
and pay legal fees for his frienP
because Brownlee's lawyer
wouldn't take cash. ��
In a Jan. 6 interview, Martirri
insisted he was no longer a target I
of the investigation.
"It was just speculation he
said at the rime. "It wasn't evenj
true. Really, it was just garbage. I !
knew in my mind that I didn'ul
have anything to worry about 1
Brownlee allegedly gave cash"
to Martin for deposits on the cataj
and the attorneys' fees. After hi�
financial records were subpoez
naed, Martin stopped payment oriJJ
a dire 175,000 check to the attor-V
neys and showed a copy of the
subpoena to Brownlee's associates,
according to the indictment.
Martin gave thousands to con
ceal the scheme, prosecutors said.
Martin thanked the Falcons
organization for support.
Spokesman Charlie Taylor said
the team had no comment
Acquired by the Falcons from
San Diego last June, Martin led
Atlanta with 66 catches for 1,181
yards and six touchdowns this sea-
son. He added nine receptions for
192 yards in the playoffs as the
Falcons reached their first Super
Bowl in franchise history. Martin
teamed with Tenance Mathis to
give the Falcons the NFL's sec-
ond-most productive pair of
receivers in terms of yardage.

If you don't have tickets yet for the Friday
performance by New York's famed Alvin
Alley Repertory Ensemble, you're too late!
The long-awaited show, which will showcase some of
the nation's hottest young choreographic and dance
talent, sold out last week.
"We usually sell out three or four events a yearr says
Director of Marketing for University Unions Carol
Woodruff
The award-winning Ensemble, which is an offshoot of
the renowned AlvinAiley American Dance Theater,
has performed in over sixty venues across the country
since its foundation by AlvinAiley in 1974. The troupe
continues to present the most innovative modern
choreography combined with superior talent, dedica-
tion to excellence and a desire to enhance America's
modern dance heritage while preserving black culture
through dance.
"When you see an Ailey performance, there is a
tremendous eclecticism in the style of dance, and in
the music as well says Sylvia Waters, who has served
as the Ensemble's artistic director since 1975. In addi-
tion to selecting dancers, Waters searches for challeng-
ing works by the world's top young choreographers,
ensuring the Ensemble's diversity and aesthetic supe-
riority.

Collective Soul almost
worth the wait
Faaa mM mt at hoar far Gnaactiva Sad
Patrick McMahon
StaffWriter
I really wish I could write this story
as a gleaming tribute to Collective
Soul's concert at the Attk but I just
can't bring myself to lie to all you
faithful Fountainhead readers out
there. It is not that I can't lie (believe
me, I can), it's just that I feel I have to
get this out into the open for all
those people unfortunate (or fortu-
nate, if you look at it that way)
enough to miss the show.
The show began with the
extremely painful-to-watch band
Darba Hood (I hope I got that right),
and their completely unbelievable
style of music. By unbelievable, I
mean unbelievably bad, not good. It
seemed like they were trying Id do
too many sounds at once. They went
from trying to duplicate Pearl Jam's
steady buildup into hysteria to trying
to sound like Alice in Chains. One
particularly amusing scene came
when they sung one song whose
entire chorus consisted of"I wish I
was in New York CityT It seems like
everyone at once began to tell them
to get their "Darba Hood" ass back
there.
Oddly enough, the biggest ova-
tion they got the whole night came
when they finally got off the stage.
Then hell came in the form of a
62- minute wait before Collective
Soul even took the stage. The wait
eventually took its toll on the crowd
and numerous people actually left
because they were tired of waiting.
For all the people who got good and
drunk (among other things) in
anticipation for the show, the wait
was almost unbearable. It was funny
as hell to sit there and watch them
come down from their high, though.
Quick word of advice to The
Attic: next time we have to wait over
an hour between bands, put some-
thing other than a Mike Tyson fight
from ten years ago on the big screen-

Once Hush: This band is getting some
pretty good college radio air-play, and
fortunately they're part of a trend lead-
ing away from the noxious brand of
three-chord rock that's been the bane
of my existence for the past couple of
yean. Melodic and fresh, yet with a def-
inite '90s postmark, their new album
Superior Machines will probably trans-
late into a great lire show. Check out
their debut album, Say it Anyway.

Ben Swift Band: This is well-put-
together rock from former solo artist
Ben Swift, plus drums and an unex-
pected trombone. Echoes of Sting, Sade
and Ani Difranco surface in
Chimpanzee, their new and moderately
daring minimalist album with a defi-
nite laid-back appeal. Although mostly
Phish phreaks will probably gravitate
toward the show, Ben Swift Band, with
its subtle nuances, has better things to
do than jam.

Suicide is painless, but comedy is
Cristian Skinner
SMffWriter
Everyone asks, "Which one,
the T.V. show or movie?" I
respond, "The only one: the
movie I'm talking about
Robert Altman's delicious
"MASH
Suicide is painless, but laughter is
priceless. It would take more time
than it's worth to find someone who
has never heard about "Mash Most
of you watched, as your writer did,
the "Mash" series on T.V from child-
hood, but maybe you've never seen
the movie that started everything.
The characters live in a Mobile Army
Surgical Hospital in Korea during the
warconflict in the late forties. They
work, sleep, eat and bathe in tents.
Their patients come from the front
line less than three miles away, and
everyone's life twists up in that envi-
ronment.
"Corporal O'Reilly, Tfou're not billet-
ing these enlisted men in the offi-
cers'area, now, are you?" When the
movie opens, two new surgeons,
"Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald
Southerland) and "Duke" Forrest
(Tom Skerrit) are on the last leg of
their trip to MASH 4077 to begin
their service for the cause in Korea.
They move in with the perpetually
praying Major Robert Burns (Robert
Duvall), who is quickly moved from
their tent and replaced by "Trapper
John" Mdntyre (Elliot Gould). When
"Hotlips"0'Houlihan (Sally
Kellerman) arrives, the stage, set, is
played out
An exasperated Hotlips demandsI
wonder how a degenerated person
(Hawkeye) like that could have
reached a position of responsibility
in the army medical corps
"He was drafted says the chaplain
from a nearby table.
Alternating between surgery and
bunks, Hawkeye, Duke and Trapper's
sophomork, and sometimes mean-
spirited, humor shows up in the
same people who save life after life
in the operating theater. There's one
of keys to the power of this film:
"Suicide is painless" and the life
made livable in the atmosphere of
death. Ifa sweet, dean and comfort-
able movie is what you want, rent the
series. It doesn't have the lyrics of
the theme song, but more impor-
tantly, it fails to make you believe
you're there, in a muddy MASH unit
in Korea.
"Goddamn Army
The movie's irreverence pervades the
room. With the famous theme song
at the beginning, and the quote
above at the end, the flick flips off
the audience and the real life setting
of the seemingly endless life of war.
You end"MASH" feeling a bit
emptied from laughing and from the
very real world created.

The great staff at the

February 12, 1999 marks the
seventh annual East Carolina
University Mardi Gras that
will begin at 9 p.m. and end at
2 a.m.
The staff is planning a wide array of

"This is the seventh annual ECU

"Students have loved it in the past

"This year's Mardi Gras sounds like
it is going to be as exciting and
fun-filled as the previous year's
said Emily Benton, a junior nursing
major.
One of the attractions, Loozy-Anna
laser lag, lets you test your
skills while blasting away at total

Jam bands proliferate
Caleb Row
Assistant Editor
The Disco Biscuits
Uncivilized Area
A few years back on a sunny
April morn, the world was shocked
when the news of Jerry Garcia's
death spiead throughout the land.
Hippies, Dead fans and others spent
most of that morning mourning. A
few select death-metal fens rejoiced,
but in the end, the world lost a man
who was the center of all that was
hippie-jam band music.
The following day America pon-
dered this question: What are the
Deadheads gonna do now? Whose
tour will they follow in the summers
to come? All evidence pointed to
Phish or Widespread Panic, who
each netted substantially more profit
due to touring that summer. But a
monster was created in the process.
This monster was the emergence
of hippie-jam bands everywhere.
Bands that displayed undertones of
Phish and the Allman Brothers
became a dime a dozen. For many,
this was a good thing because the
influx of these groups filled the void
left by the now deceased Dead.
lam bands began to form in
marry towns in our regional area:
Greenville's Purple Schoolbus,
Roanoke's Red Weather and
Pennsylvania's Disco Biscuits.
The Disco Biscuits are formed
from the purest elements of the jam
band equation: A heap of Phish, sift-
ed together with some Allman
Brothers and a smidgen of God
Street Wine. Mix together in a large
bowl and bake (or get baked) and
you have the Disco Biscuits.
All but two of the songs clock in
at over six minutes in length and
die consist of maybe two verses and
a chorus. The rest is a jam, and let it
be known that jamming is not an
easy task, jazz musicians, who per-
fected the art of jamming, follow a
certain etiquette: don't solo too long,
don't be too loud or obnoxious, etc.
But considering the Biscuits target a
hippie audience, the jams have to
leave a lot of loom for dancing.
The Disco biscuits do have a lot
of talent but they have caught the
plague that many new bands face
today: lack of originality. The song
"Jamillia" from the new album
Vncw&zedArea sounds like a song
that Phish never recorded with its
dancing beat, rolling piano and har-
monized vocals. All of the songs are
exceptionally happy but a handful
grow tired after the first five of the
ten-plus minutes are spent.
The Disco Biscuits are no
stranger to Greenville, for they
graced Peasant's Cafe with their dose
of tunage last Tuesday. Keep an eye
out if they should return; one quali-
ty of jam bands is that their live
shows are often the butt of their
existence. The essence of the liveli-
ness just doesn't translate well onto
the album.
SouL continotd from paoi 2
just a suggestion.
Okay, Collective Soul came out to
a pretty raucous ovation and
jumped right into the music, show
ing more energy than 1 had expect-
ed. I was actually beginning to have
a good time. After running through
the older, big hits like "Precious
Declarationand "World That I
Know? they really began to get into
the newer songs like "Run" off the
Varsity Blues soundtrack and
"Heavy"off their new album
Dosage. The lead singer provided
most of the movement for the band,
jumping and spinning around
almost the entire show, think the
crowd would have been more enthu-
siastic towards the band if they had
not been worn down by the long
wait Even worn down, they let the
band know that they enjoyed each
and every song they played. I
wouldn't go as far to say it was
worm the wait, but it did come pret-
ty damn dose.

It seems that movies are coming
out in pairs these days. "The Last
Days of Disco" pairs with "Studio 54
"Armageddon" is compared to its
� predecessor "Deep Impact and now
"Saving Private Ryan" has a cohort in
"A Thin Red Line Comparing "A
Thin Red Line" to "Saving Private
Ryan" does no justice for this flick; it
is a disturbing entity on its own.
What many critics link together
is the war content and story line of
the soldiers' experiences in World
War II. Minus the hunks (Matt
Damon and Tom Hanks) from the
former, "A Thin Red Line" oflers an
all-star cast, none of which star as
the main character.
The cast, appropriately chosen,
includes Nick Nolte, John Cusak,
Woody Harrieson and Sean Penn,
with cameo appearances by John
m the trenches unnervingly realistic
.
Travolta and George Oooney.
A war documentary is not an
easy task to complete mainly
because the history could be misrep-
resented, the presentation could be
over- glorified by Hollywood and,
considering its historical content, the
viewer may become bored because
they already know what happened
wn cm ilmost mn! to mrmnmt.
(Titanic what?). What was great
about "A Thin Red Line" is that it was
written to express the thoughts of
the men in battle. A diary on film, if
youwilL
These soldiers are in battle for
one of two reasons: 1) they are fight-
ing to keep themselves ah ve in order
to get back home to a loved
onefamily, or 2) they have lost true
friends in battle so the fight to
avenge their deaths.
Nick Nolte's character does a
great job of demonstrating how peo-
ple do not express their true
thoughts; which is a major problem
these days. His thoughts ramble on
about how the men sacrifice so
much for him (he's a general) and
he offers nothing of gratitude in
return. You can learn a lot about peo-
ple through watching this film.
The cinematography is astound-
ing. With each thought, the picture
panns to the subject on the soldier's
mind. Shots of a single candle with a
religious soliloquy and visions of
waterfalls and sunlight peeking
through the jungle trees give way to
thoughts of a paradise at the end of
the war.
What is most disturbing is that,
though I am a junior in college,
movies such as this are the only
knowledge of the World Wars I have
been taught My junior high and
high school classes never touched
the subject so for those like me in
this harsh reality, "A Thin Red Line"
is a true learning experience.

The last piece, Ailes "Revelations

BAGS OF PANTIES FOUND AT
WORKSTATION
WTirTTIER, Calif. (AP) ftwasrft
Victoria's Secret It was Manuel's.
Manuel Cruz, 45, was convicted last
month of stealing women's under-
wear. He was sentenced to 180 days
in jail and three years probation.
On Monday, Cruz's former boss
called police and said he'd found
2,000 pain of pannes, bras and
pantyhose at Cruz's old work station.
There were three large bags, five large
boxes and three small boxes stuffed
with undergarments, investigators
said.
Last month wasn't the first time Cruz
was arrested for unmentionable
theft.
He was arrested in March with 50
pieces of underwear in his car. He
pleaded no contest then. And he told
detectives he kept the clothing in his
car because he didn't want his wife to
discover it
The second arrest came after some
women saw Cruz take their panties
from clotheslines by using a wooden
stick with a hanger attached. Police
found41 pieces of underwear that
time.
"He really didn't want to disclose
what he did with them, Detective
Mary Hanson told the Whittier Daily
NewsHe said he just collects them.
Cruz helped himself to all kinds of
panties, including G-strings and
French cut Hanson said. He stuck
mostly to white, but also stockpiled
green, purple, orange, blue, hot pink
and polka dot
"We also found a bag that had a few
men's underwear" Hanson said.
Hanson wouldn't release the name of
Cruz's old boss. But, she saidHe
told me when we arrested Cruz that

MAN'S LONG-LOST HIGH SCHOOL
RING CATCHES UP TO HIM
PITTSBURGH (AP) Bob Earnigh's
world travels include a tour of duty in
Vietnam, but his long-lost high school
ring has one up on him.
After graduating from Altoona High
School in 1965, Eamigh shelled out
about $50 for the gold class ring with a
deep red stone, the school's insignia
and his initiabRRE
He lost it sometime in 1967, either
somewhere at Penn State University or
during training for the Vietnam War.
Thirty-one years later, he got a call
from Ken DaVico in Hawaii. He found it
crusted in coral while snorkeling with a
metal detector near the island of Kauai.
Last week Eamigh, 51, got it back.
"I'm almost sure I didn't have it when 1
went overseas he said Monday. "But I
know that I've never been to Hawaii-
that part I would remember
Eamigh said he looks forward to slip-
ping his ring back on his finger when
he gets it repaired.
"Ifs just amazing Eamigh said. "I
never expected to get it badelalways
regretted that I lost it, but I sort of got
