ECU, FEMA, state
construct trailer pad
Phillip Gil us
news editor
University Housing Services is
hoping to give students who lost
their apartments a new lease on life,
literally.
In cooperation with the state
and the Federal Emergency
Management Association (FEMA),
UHS plans to change over 25 acres
into a new temporary housing park
for ECU students.
Located on Dickinson and
Memorial Streets, the University
owns 7.5 acres that were originally
planned to become a warehouse
site. It will now serve as a parking
lot for the trailer park.
On Monday the state was leased
a further 18 acres of high-grade
commercial property by a private
owner, the planned site for the tem-
porary housing.
"The jurisdiction of the proper-
ty will come under the University
said Manny Amaro, director of
UHS. He explained that the state
would hand over the leased land to
ECU.
The University has also been
allocated 220 17x14 fully-furnished
trailers. They will contain three
bedrooms and two bathrooms,
along with with refrigerators and
microwaves. Each trailer will house
four people.
According to Amaro, only 178
units will be used. The additional
trailers will be given to Pitt County
for their use. The county already
boasts two temporary housing sites
for flooded families.
It is hoped that students will be
able to move into the new facilities
by Oct. 22, though that is a tenta-
tive date.
"It won't be a quick operation
Amaro said.
Those students who qualify
under FEMA will receive a vouch-
er and will then sign a lease with

The purpose of the university's
volunteer program is to get stu-

community and each other.
"Students understand how
much involvement it takes to have

The volunteer program, which
began operation in 1990, has been
growing in size. It is mainly funded
by grants.
According to Baker, the reason
ECU students volunteer their time
is so that they can give back to the
community. Students also like how
they feel after they have helped
someone else.
Students are also motivated to
volunteer in order for them to
build a resume.

The Disaster Unemployment
Assistance (DUA) Program was
created following President
Clinton's declaration of 66 North
Carolina counties as disaster areas.
According to Glenn Woodard, a
federal coordinating officer, the
program is designed to provide
financial assistance to small busi-
ness owners, self-employed agri-
cultural workers, hourly wage
earners, those injured as a result of
the storm and other types of work-
ers who do not qualify for regular
unemployment benefits.
Parker Chesson, chairman of
the Employment Security
Commission of North Carolina,
urged employers whose workers
were affected by the disaster to
file for unemployment for the
benefit of their employees.
"The sooner the paperwork is
done, the sooner these hard-hit
workers will be able to collect
benefits to help them get back on
their feet Chesson said.
"Employers need to know what
type of help is available to their
employees and how to access it
By submitting a claim, the
employer verifies that the worker
is on the payroll, but worked
fewer than 60 percent of their nor-
mal work hours in that week.
Employers can e-mail, fax or mail
in these claims to the ESC office.
So far, response to the DU
Program has been good.
"We don't have an official and
current count of how many claims
have been filed, simply because
our staff is too busy taking the
claims to keep a running tally
said David Sherrill of the ESC
The federal disaster monies are
apportioned by the state in the
same way as the North Carolina
unemployment program, but is
only available to those workers
who would otherwise be ineligible
for unemployment compensation.
"Employees out of work due to
the disaster may continue to
receive unemployment benefits
for 26 weeks, same as those who
are getting regular unemploy-
ment Sherrill said.

AfKI.A Harm-
STAH ��ITh�
The Quarter's Campaign, a dona-
tion program formed by the
Association of Student
Governments (ASG) across North
Carolina, is collecting money for
ECU.
ECU students returned to class
last Wednesday and tried to get
back into the swing of things in the
midst of lingering waters, fallen
trees, missing sidewalks and strong
sewage fumes. �
Many students returned to thfir'
hometowns untouched, but others
were not so fortunate. As classes
continue, many students are left
without books, paper, pens, clothes
and homes.
However, the horrible misfor-
tune of Floyd has not been ignored.
With the help of the ASG's
Quarter's Campaign, relief has
come from all parts of North
Carolina. Quarter's Campaign's
mission is to encourage students as
possible to donate a quarter to
ECU, which can then be used to
helpflood-stricken students.
"The program has been a huge
success said SGA President Cliff
Webster.
Hundreds of students have sup-
ported the program so far, and
donations have been great.
Students at UNC-Chapel Hill
have collected $1,700, and N.C.
State has raised $2,000.
"The increase of funding will
allow the university to offer flood
students more relief Webster said!

will be able to do more

House condemns Brooklyn art exhibit
WASHINGTON (AP)�The feud
over the Brooklyn Museum of Art's
provocative "Sensation" exhibit
continued to attract Congress'
attention Monday as the House
approved a nonbinding resolution
calling for federal funds to stop
flowing to the institution.
Republicans argued that taxpay-
ers should not have to pay for
"Catholic-bashing" art some have
deemed vulgar. Some Democrats
countered that the GOP was trying
to censor artistic expression.
The exhibit, which opened
Saturday, features, among other
things, a black Virgin Mary decorat-
ed with body parts and elephant
dung.
"Should Americans that work
40, 50,60 hours a week be forced to
turn over a portion of their pay-
check to something that offends so
many?" said Rep. John Sweeney,
R-N.Y who sponsored the resolu-
tion.
The measure was approved on a
voice vote; the Senate had passed a
similar measure last Wednesday.
Republicans said they were not
arguing that the work should not be
shown, but that it should not
receive tax dollars.
But Democrats said that was
disingenuous. "The issue before us
is censorship. Make no mistake
about it Rep. Maurice Hinchey,
D-N.Y said.
Over the last three years, the
Brooklyn Museum received $1.1
million in federal money. And while
Monday's resolution sparked heat-
ed debate it was purely symbolic.
Republicans are attempting to
attach legislation to federal spend-
ing bills to block funding to the
museum but have been unsuccess-
ful.
House Democrats also accused
Republicans of pushing the resolu-
tion to rally support for New York
City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the
exhibit's most vocal critic and a
likely candidate for the Senate.

Each semester 3,500 student vol-

enthusiasm of student volunteers.
Maybe you are thinking, why

Some students' majors require
them to volunteer their time.
Examples of such degrees are
those in social work, medical school
and criminal justice.

Clinton not surprised by uninsured N Korea B,asts us-on ReP�rt
WASHINGTON (AP) �
President Clinton said Monday no
one should be surprised by an
increase in the number of
Americans who lack health insur-
ance.
"What has happened is exactly
what we said would happen the
president said.
But the president said things
will get better over the next two
years as "significant numbers of
children" receive coverage under a
program enacted by Congress in
1997.
Clinton, in one of the biggest
defeats of his presidency, failed to
persuade Congress in 1994 to enact
the universal health insurance plan
written by his wife, Hillary.
"The first lady and 1 and all the
rest of us were right in 1994 the
president said.
"We told you in 1994 that if this
were voted down, the insurance
companies would continue to drop
people, or employers would,
because of the system we had
He spoke in the Cabinet Room
after remarks about efforts to win
ratification of a global nuclear test
ban treaty.
Clinton also addressed a new
Census Bureau report that 44.3 mil-
lion Americans, one in six, had no
health insurance coverage in 1998.
The survey found that the number
of people without coverage grew by
nearly a million, but overall popula-
tion growth kept the rate about
steady � 16.3 percent in 1998,
compared with 16.1 percent in
1997. In 19, 15.6 percent lacked
coverage.
Jennifer Campbell, author of the
Census report, said health care cov-
erage among children did not
change significantly from 1997 to
1998, with 11.1 million, or 15.4 per-
cent, of the under-18 population
uninsured. Children ages 12 to 17
were slightly more likely to be
without health care coverage than
those under 12 � 16.0 percent,
compared with 15.1 percent.
The president said he expected
congressional passage this year of
legislation by Sens. Jim Jeffords, R-
Vt and Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass that will allow people with
disabilities to go into the work force
and keep their federal health insur-
ance. He said lawmakers also
should enact his proposal to allow
Americans as young as 55 to buy
Medicare health insurance.
Clinton also said he was glad
that Vice President Al Gore and for-
mer Sen. Bill Bradley, competitors
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, were discussing com-
peting health care proposals.
"I hope that wc will continue to
see this debated he said.

Downpours cause new flooding,
evacuations in hard-hit area of N.C.
RAl ,E!GI I, N.C. (AP) � Six inch-
es of rain kicked off new flooding
today in an area already devastated
by Hurricane Floyd's inundation,
washing out roads and a spillway.
People were urged to evacuate two
residential areas.
The pouring rain that fell during
the night, cut through roads and
made bridges in Wayne (bounty and
other areas impassable this morning
southeast of Raleigh.
In Goldsboro, 80 percent of the
downtown streets were flooded this
morning by Stony Creek, which
flows through the middle of town,
said National Guard Maj. Dave
Culbreth.
"The city's almost like an
island Culbreth said. "We have
some flooding in town again. We're

Rising water also poured over
the top of the Lake Wackena dam
three miles southeast of Goldsboro
and washed out the spillway, and
National Guardsmen went door to
door urging residents to leave the
Walnut Creek subdivision. Only a
handful of people left.
However, Tom Ditt, spokesman
for the state emergency manage-
ment office, said the wash-out of
the spillway helped relieve pres-
sure that might have caused a fail-
ure of the dam itself.

North Korea on Monday-criticized
the alleged mass killing of civilian
refugees by U.S. soldiers in the
early days of the Korean War and
demanded, that Washington apolo-
gize
It was the first official reaction
from the communist state on last
week's news report on the alleged
killings in No Gun Ri village in
July 1950.
"The truth of history cannot be
distorted and covered said
Pyongyang's Rodong Sinmun, the
main newspaper of the North's rul-
ing Workers' Party of Korea.
It said the U.S. forces commit-
ted massacres not only in No Gun
Ri but also in other areas during the
1950-53 war.
Historians say North Korean
troops committed far more atroci-
ties, summarily executing U.S.
prisoners of war and slaughtering
large numbers of South Korean
civilians.
In its commentary, Rodong crit-
icized the U.S. and South Korean
governments for dismissing repeat-
ed requests for an investigation by
South Koreans who say they sur-
vived the No Chin Ri killings.
Last week, the Associated Press
reported accounts by American
veterans and South Korean vil-
lagers who said they saw U.S. sol-

"We were getting ready to pull
out, and then this came along
Culbreth said.
The setback came after feeble
signs of recovery began to emerge
Monday in eastern North Carolina.
After an unprecedented six-day
layoff, the flue-cured tobacco mar-
kets rebounded with generally
higher prices to cheer farmers,
many of whom had little else to
praise.
More than 39,000 North
Carolina residents have registered
for state and federal assistance so
far since Floyd's devastation. The
Federal Emergency Management
Agency said it has approved more
than $3.8 million in direct aid to
hurricane victims in the state.
Preliminary estimates show
Floyd caused $70.2 million in
housing damage in eastern North
Carolina, with more than 3,000
homes destroyed or heavily dam-
aged.
At least 47 people died in North
Carolina when the hurricane flood-
ed parts of an 18,000-square-mile
area. An estimated 2,100 people
remain in shelters.
Officials estimate agricultural
losses due to Floyd will exceed $1
billion, and many eastern North
Carolina farmers may decide it's
time to try something else.
"The reports that we're putting
out estimate that fully 15 percent
of the growers affected by these
floods will probably go ahead and
get out of the business said Jim
Knight, a spokesman for the state
Department of Agriculture.
Environmentalists have sug-
gested the state should impose
restrictions that could remove ani-
mal waste lagoons, as well as
municipal sewage plants, from
flood-prone areas.
But farm advocates say that
would he complicated and expen-
sive.
"It's easy to say you're going to
move people said Ann Cohen of
the North Carolina Farm Bureau.
"The question is, do they own land
to move to?"
Federal agriculture officials
have been told that farmers need
direct assistance, not loans. Most
already are carrying all the debt

that U.S. commanders ordered
their troops to shoot civilians as a
defense against disguised enemy
soldiers.
After the AP report, the U.S.
and South Korean governments
promised thorough investigations
into the No Gun Ri killings.
"The U.S. imperialists should
clearly see the situation and make
an official apology for their murder-
ous crimes against the South
Korean people Rodong said.
North Korea also repeated its
demand that Washington withdraw
37,000 U.S. troops from South
Korea. North Korea says the U.S.
military presence raises tension on
the divided Korean peninsula.
The United States says the U.S.
troops are in South Korea to deter
threats from the communist North.
The two Koreas are still technically
at war because no peace treaty was
signed at the end of the Korean
War. Their border is the world's
most heavily armed.
Meanwhile, officials from
National Intelligence Service, con-
ducted a preliminary field investi-
gation Monday, interviewing No
Gun Ri survivors and visiting the
bridge.
It marked the first time any-
South Korean government officials
questioned the No Ciun Ri sur-
vivors.
No Gun Ri remained a hot issue
in the National Assembly, where
legislators criticized the govern-
ment for dismissing earlier sur-
vivors' claims.
The survivors have said they do
not want communist support in
their campaign to win compensa-
tion and an apology from
Washington.

The Student Government Association (SGA) will hold rhi-ir elections for
class officers tomorrow and all ECU students have a voice it in. Whether you
are a freshman or a senior, a pre-med major or undecided, everyone can play
an active role in ECU s future. With one swipe of an ECU One Card and a
couple of check marks, one can change the course of the university.
Our SGA and it does belong to us all, meets weekly each semester and
decides matters of university policies, student tuition, finances and campus
organizations. The class officers who will be elected tomorrow will act as
SOA representatives this semester and meet in various committees. They
then will vote on various measures brought forth by the committees.
These SOA representatives are not paid nor receive any sort of reimburse-
ment. So show these dedicated men and women your support on
Wednesday and go out to the polls.

CHRIS
SACHS
Application process invites discrimination
is so simple: There is no jus-
tifiable reason why a person s
name, gender, race, age or reli-
gion should be on any applica-
tion or test.
There is a problem that affects
the entire country and has contin-
ued to do so for decades. That
problem is discrimination. The
callusecl thumb of discrimination
has been flicking the Zippo of big-
otry for as long as anyone can
remember, and it's time to end it
once and for all. But that's an
unrealistic objective and I am a
realist.
I have come up with a plan that
I think will do more for equality
than most of the laws passed in
the last 25 years. I have devised a
plan to end all discrimination from
every application and testing
process that takes place in this
country every day, and that plan is
anonymity.
It is so simple: There is no jus-
tifiable reason why a person's
name, gender, race, age or religion
should be on any application or
test. The only reason those things
are on applications and such in the
first place is for record keeping
and and statistical studies.
Think about it: Why should
someone need to know these per-
sonal things until after the person
has been judged on their merit?
These items are only for newspa-
pers, magazines, sociological
research and government bean
counters who want to compare
how many of whom is doing what
in relation to others.
But the general public, as stu-
pid as they are, doesn't see that
this data is doing more harm than
good, and that others really don't
need it.
Let's look at an example, shall
we? Let's say that Mrs. White and
Mrs. Black are both applying to a
university. Now the new "Chris
Sachs Application Form" is used
and all the review committee
member sees on the application is
their test scores, extracurricular
activities, written composition,
past grades, letters of recommen-
dation and a few other goodies.
The person reviewing has no
clue of her name and there is no
age: If she is too young or old she
will not be taken into considera-
tion. No race will be listed: Why
does the reviewer need to know
that? What difference should it
make? There is no gender to be
seen. Should that make a differ-
ence? Nope. And religion is
absent, because everyone has
their own beliefs and it's no one
else's business.
So there you have it: a level
playing field. Person A has no
advantage over Person B unless
one has been more productive in
their educational career and was
more convincing on their written
essay. And those have nothing to
do with race or gender or anything
else; it has to do with who is more
qualified for the position. There is
no need for dumb quotas and
there will be no complaining
about the process being unfair.
This system works great for job
applications, lease agreements,
bank loans, juries, etc.
Now this system is not fool
proof. What about the interview?
People have to meet the applicant
in most cases, people will say.
Everyone will eventually have to
confront some
Na.iskinheadKKK member that
will never change their views, but
at least you will have gotten fur-
ther than you would have normal-
ly. You got your foot in the door
before they had a chance to close
it in the first place That is a huge
leap in the right direction.
But for any process where an
interview is not required, only
qualification will determine the
outcome, not quotas. This will
also eliminate ethnic groups that
want to cry discrimination as a cop
out when they don't get their way.
I low can one claim bigotry when
the person reviewing the applica-
tion has no earthly idea about your
external qualities, age or beliefs?
Many of you may be screaming
that this idea makes us all num-
bers and takes away our individu-
ality. Not true. You are still the
same person you will always be,
but you will just be anonymous for
the paperwork process that initial-
ly seeks to categorize and discrim-
inate. Once the approval or denial
decision is made, the rest of the
information will be released.
Believe me, they will eventually
find out who and what you are, but
by then it's too late for them to
deny you�they already accepted
you. And if they don't like what
they see, well then screw 'em.
I think the new system ought
to be government-mandated and
placed into law. It should be
enacted overnight and sweep the
country in a manner of a few
months. It will be a Shockwave of
equality that will rock this country
forward in the name of peace and
equality. It will happen so fast the
ignorant will not know what hit
them. So, write your congressman
and demand the "Chris Sachs
Application Form Bill" be passed.
Your children will thank you.

Mass media disturbs, inspires
Thank God for all these
Dawsou 's Creek ripoffs on tele-
vision this season now I can
get my fun-loving, pretty white
people with sexual gratification
problems fix any day of the
week.
I lello my peoples! I hope that
everybody is okay and living well. I
wasn't really hurt by the big storm,
thanks for asking. Since I'm sure
everyone is tired of talking about it,
lets change the subject altogether.
And since there aren't any stand-
out topics to rant about, I'm just
going to let you in on a few of my
recent thoughts.
1) Thank God for all these
Dawson's Creek ripoffs on televi-
sion this season now I can get my
fun-loving, pretty white people
with sexual gratification problems
fix any day of the week.
2) I believe that the people who
have a problem with the ruling for
Instant Replay in football just need
OPINION

bounds when he caught that one.
Mm being a fan does not change
anything.
) O'eez, I'm hungry. And Randy
(Juaid's portrayal of the animated
KFC Colonel just makes me yearn
for a Tender Roast sandwich. And
since I'm in between phone ser-
vices, maybe I should do like that
chnad that married Courtney Cox
says and dial 1-oOO-CALL-ATT
and dial down the middle. Choad.
4) And while we're on the topic
of television commercials, lets talk
about the new Gap campaign of
nondescript models singing old
eighties music standbys. Ever
notice how they pretty much bark
orders at you at the conclusion of
the commercial? The latest is
"everyone in leather Ayn Rand
would have a field day with that
one. 'They might as well have the
cool guy from class teaching the
class dork how to be cool, "She's All
'That" style. 5) Professional
wrestling is not fake. It's rehearsed.
6) Another thing that bugs me
lately is the fact that big corpora-
tions are now basing how much
money they donate to various char-
ities based on the how football play-
ers perform that day. I was listening
to the Panthers game on the radio
on the way home one day and John
Kasay was just about to kick a field
goal. All of the sudden, the radio
said, "If he makes this one,
RayCom will donate $500 to aid in
the fight against muscular dystro-
phy Well, isn't that generous?
Know what happened? Kasay
kicked it wide left, and the fight
against muscular dystrophy contin-
ued, completely unaided by
RayCom. I might be a little mean at J
times, but I'd never have the gutsj
to say, "Sorry little Joey. Flutie did-
n't get that fourth touchdown, so
there will be no bone marrow trans-
plant for you this week. But cheer
up! The Make A Wish Foundation
is here to make your wtslv come
true, provided that .your wish
involves a Nintendo 64, or going to!
a real life Charlotte I lorriets game �
Well, that's about all for now. I
hope I haven't offended anybody,
but if I did, accept my most sincere
apologies. No really. Unless you're

ried. Choad.

MARVELLE
SULLIVAN
US treats symptoms of drug problem, not causes
$166 million is quite a large sum
of money. To be sure, our govern-
ment is using it wisely, right? Are
they appropriating the money for
flood relief? No. Is the money
being used for farm aid. since East
Coast farmers are now financially
devastated because of flooding and
wind? No. The money has to be
used for education because of the
United States' ridiculously low-
teaching salaries and underfunded
scholastic programs. Yet, that is not
where the money is going either.
The United States government
is spending $166 million to combat
the production and exportation of
drugs in Colombia. 'This is
absolutely the most insane and
infuriating, way to spend taxpayer
money. Not only is the United
States funneling money into for-
eign countries, but they are also
doing so in a very illogical manner.
First, to blame a foreign country
for our supposed "problem"�
which has decreased dramatically
since the 1980s is ludicrous. Yes,
Colombia is the chief exporter of
heroin and cocaine, and they are
just supplying a demand�not cre-
ating one.
'This method of combating drug
use epitomizes the warped mental-
ity and approach the government
takes. They treat the symptoms
rather than the cause itself. If the
money was spent on prevention
and rehabilitation, then going to a
foreign country where we do not
belong anyway would not be neces-
sary. Curbing demand is the only
way to assure a true and lasting
decrease in drug use. Curbing the
supply, which is what is being
attempted now only achieves small
ami temporary decrease goals.
Second, even if spending the
money is logical, the way it is being
used is absolutely not. It is a shame
and a disgrace that the government
believes spraying random
Colombian poppy fields, training
an anti-narcotic battalion and arrest-
ing drug traffickers is really going to
make a dent in production.
The Colombian drug lords in
response have already found new
fields, trained a better guerrilla
army and hired new pushers. The
drug rrade is as permeated in their
modern economic, cultural and
political systems as Microsoft, fast
food and lobbyists are to ours. Fen
if it was the United States' job to
curb Colombian production, obvi-
ously we don't possess enough
sense or wherewithal to accomplish
the task.
Third, and perhaps most impor-
tantly, it is not the United States'
job to police the world and extend
our ethnocentric values whenever
and wherever we deem it necessary.
Colombia is not asking that we lead
aerial campaigns on their land. We
certainly would find it appalling if
another country behaved this way
on our territory.
The Colombia attack is just
another example of governmental
waste. 'This isn't an isolationist ser-
mon, but the United States has too
many domestic needs to waste time
and effort on something that will
inevitably end in shattered dreams
for the hope of an end to
Colombian drug production and
exportation.

On the surface, it's another typical
fall day in Eastern North Carolina.
Sun-kissed leaves harbor a red-and-
gold hue while the air captures a
c(x�l breeze. Students fill the cam-
pus, talking animatedly with one
another about impossible assign-
ments due and previous weekend
excursions. Local businesses arc up
and running, serving their patrons
with a variety of goods. With all of
these people going about their daily
activities, it's hard to believe we are
still trying to cope and recover from
the destruction caused by
Hurricane Floyd.
"I must say students are (uitc
resilient said Dr. Lynn Roeder,
director of the Center for
Counseling and Student
Development.
As each day goes by, students
attempt to go on and rebuild what
Floyd destroyed.
According to Roeder, the main
concern currently facing students is
filling their basic needs of housing.
food and clothing.
"We're anticipating that once the
basic needs are met, things will
begin to sink in Roeder said. "This
should be in a couple of weeks
Last week, it was estimated that
over 100 members of the ECU com-
munity attended sessions at the
Counseling Center and approxi-
mately 50 percent of the patients
seen at Mental I lealth involved
flood-related situations.
"Mental Health and the
(ounseling (Center is working close-
ly together in order to get students
the assistance they need in the right
place said Dr. Jane Ross, staff psy-
chologist at Student I lealth. Mental
I lealth Division.
Over the last couple of weeks,
the Counseling Center and Mental
Health have offered assistance to
students, as well as staff and faculty
through a variety of avenues, such as
individual and group counseling ses-
sions, tables set up at the Flood
Resource Center and offering rou-
tine around-the-clock contacts to a
mental health professional.
"Students can call at anytime to
contact one of us Ross said. "Just
contact the ECU police and they
will inform students who the on-call
counselor is
Once the initial needs are ful-
filled, counselors see other issues
arising for students.
Students talk with others who have experienced the same loss due to the hurricane.

"Things may not impact people-
right away Roeder said. "One of our
concerns is students getting re-trau-
matized going back into their apart-
ment and actually seeing what used
to be their living space
According to Roeder. students
are trying to get reconnected to their
lives prior to,the hurricane.
"Some staff have saiil the day
when classes resumed, they hail full
attendance Roeder said. "This is
another sign that students want to

Students have been affected in
different ways and are dealing with
the situation as best they can.
"It was so emotional to see the
Tar River reach the roofs of apart-

"The hardest thing was seeing one
of my friends permanently leave
Greenville because the flood left her
with nothing
"I wouldn't say coping is the word

basically in limbo-l no longer think
of things in long term, but from

Counselors offer suggestions off
how to begin getting one's life back
together.

Throughout the fierce wind and
pounding rain of I lurricanc Floyd,
Facilities Services and the ECU
police department worked around
the clock to maintain the campus
and protect the students and staff.
The steam plant, a division of
Facilities Sen ices, is a vital compo-
nent to ECU. It provides hot water
and heat for the entire campus.
During Floyd, the steam plant was
maintained by as small group of
individuals; Dennis Rey, the steam
plant supervisor, Andre' Carmon,
Dale Kingsland, Robert Newell and
Steven Boseman.
"We tried to keep the steam
going as long as we could Rey said.
They realized if the steam went
out, the campus would have a new
list of problems to add to the diffi-
culties the storm was already caus-
ing. Lack of drinkable water, itic-
obstacles pre-
sented by evac-
uation and food
shortages are
just a few that
faced this busy
crew.
The steam
plant also assist-
ed in other
capacities on
campus during
the hurricane.
"We could
go places that
others couldn't
go because our
vehicles are
higher than other vehicles Rey
said. "We carried kerosene over to
Mendenhall for fuel, and we built
blocks and barricades so no one
would get injured
When Floyd hit, the campus
was deserted.
"We were the only ones here
beside the E( AI police Rey said.
Safety is an important element of both the Floyd and the post-Floyd campus.

In conjunction with the police
department, the team from
Facilities Services helped to pre-
vent accidents which could have
occurred if it were not for their ded-
ication and hard work.
Many officers from the ECU
police department were busy dur-
ing the hurricane maintaining the
security of the
campus by con-

area.

Every week at the Brookford
Community Center, the powers of
wrestling and religion are com-
bined for family entertainment.
Heading the shows is former pro
wrestler and founder of Exodus
Wrestling Alliance, "Gorgeous"
George South.
Although there are no exact
prayer services at the show, mes-
sages of faith are brought to the
audience in the form of Christian-
themed comic strip pamphlets.
"During intermission I'll
bring (the pamphlets) to the little
kids and you'll even see that the
outfit I wear has (John) 3:16 on the
back of it. So, I'm spreading a mes-
sage but I'm not really opening my
mouth South said.
Fans are opening their mouths,
though. The audience ranges in
age from young children to senior
citizens, each cheering on the
matches of the amateur wrestlers
who hope to make it into the rings
of the World Wrestling Federation
and other pro-level arenas.
"What they are doing is offering
an alternative form of professional
wrestling said fellow fan, the Rev.
David Ridenhour of Saint Paul's
Lutheran Church in Newton.

Scottie "Superbrar" McKeever,
a new resident of Hickory who
moved from West Virginia to work
with and train under South, said,
"As far as what the people see, it's
just wrestling, but it's not like what
you see on TV. We don't go out
and cuss the people or shoot them
the bird
"As in pro wrestling, the shows
are more-and-less scripted battles
inside the ring he said.
Added fellow wrestler Mark
"Sweet Dreamz" Howard, "It's
basically old school wrestling,
which is what people really want to
see now
The wrestling matches are mix-
tures of singles and doubles. A nor-
mal night will feature about 2 hours
with four match-ups. Fans can't
seem to get enough, attendance
started out at 25 -people and has
risen to as high as 75.
The EWA travels to Statesville
and Concord, putting on different
shows during the week. At each
site, different wrestlers will appear,
depending on the athlete's sched-
ules. Additionally, the group visits
churches, putting on Christian-
themed shows.
McKeever said South goes to
the church shows with the normal
three match set-ups, but also gives
testimonials professing his faith in
Ciod. Additionally, other wrestlers
will speak, as will local ministers
from the area.

As for any controversies

said. "I don't just do it for show

As for the graphic violence and
profanity he said is rampant in pro-
fessional wrestling, South said, "I
don't comprehend how people can
think that has anything to do with
wrestling
On the possible conflict, Rev.
Ridenhour said, "In pro-wrestling,

"It's a systematic way to look at
the mechanics for solving prob-

Brown believes that everyone
should have at least some under-

Since he has been at ECU,

"I've researched how school
psychologists spend time on the

said. "I found that school psy-

"Most of their time is spent

The briolette necklace is just

l.V4-page book is a veritable Santa's
list for those wealthy enough to
avoid the riffraff at Nordstrom.

What new Internet tycoon

options haven't been exercised yet,
it can be leased for 100 hours a year

The catalog dates to 1915 and
has become a publicity-generating
harbinger of the upcoming season.
It also serves to raise money for
charity-some purchases generate
donations to organizations such as
UNICEF, Habitat for Humanity
and the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation.
Neiman continued its practice
of suggesting the perfect his and
hers gifts, and sought to break away
from such mundane past offerings
as airplanes, dirigibles, submarines
and mummy cases.
This year's his and hers: a
$200,000 gift to The Nature
Conservancy and a $35 donation to
save one acre of rain forest.
For shoppers on a budget, the
catalog has a variety of offerings
under $1,000, ranging from Manolo
Blahnik ladies pumps ($815) and a
Donna Karan New York strapless
tube dress ($780) to a nylon golf
bag ($860) and a battery-powered
children's sports car ($475).
If even those offerings are too
pricey, there's always the book
itself for $6.50. Dreaming about the
goodies is free.

Hurricanes blow past Bruins
Even with the absence of Keith
Primeau. Carolina's top scorer last year,
the Hurricanes managed a 3-1 opening
game victory over the Boston Bruins.
Boston was 9-0-3 in the past 12 opening
games, the longest unbeaten streak in NHL
history.
McGwire wins HR race
In the final game of the year, which
was shortened due to rain, Mark McGwire
and Sammy Sosa each homered. For
McGwire, it was number 65. Sosa's was
his 63rd this season.
Big Mac homered in six of the final
seven games to become the tenth all-time
leading home run hitter. Meanwhile, Sosa
only homered in two of the last 11 games.
The Cardinals open next season wi
the Cubs April 3 at Busch Stadium.

Miller's kicking advances Pirates to 5-0
Field goals key
to beating Army
S I i:i'iii: Sen k i i
M'liH s OH
For a few short hours on Saturday
afternoon, the people of Eastern
North Carolina were able to forget
about rebuilding from the devasta-
tion left by Floyd and enjoy their
foodall team. The Pirates did not
disappoint as they whipped Army
3.5-14, improving their record to 5-
0.
For the first time in four years
ECU carried a Top 25 ranking into
a game. Saturday, they brought
their No. 19 ranking into Michie
Stadium to face the Army Cadets.
The last time ECU played at
West Point, they defeated the
Cadets 31-25 in 1995. With the
effects of Hurricane Floyd and
their upset over then No. 9, Miami
still on their minds, the situation
this time was very different.
The Pirates got a strong perfor-
mance from redshirt freshman
kicker, Kevin Miller. Miller con-
nected on four field goals including
a career long 52-yarder. ECU has
not had a kicker kick four field
goals in a game since Chad
I lolcomb hit four against Stanford
in the 1995 Liberty Bowl.
"Kevin is very effective said
I lead Coach Steve Logan. "I told
Davidiarrardl not to turn the ball
over when we got into the red zone
because Kevin is so efficient. You
take 12 points off the board and
we're in a break-neck football
game
Coming into the game unde-
feated, and with a C-l'SA show-
down with Southern Miss next
week the Pirates had all the ingre-
dients for a let down versus Army.
The Pirates made sure that would
not happen.
ECU opened the game by mov-
ing the ball into the red zone and
faltering. The Pirates' first drive
ended in a 30-yard field goal by-
Miller.
Miller hit four FG's and three PAT's against Army.

The Cadets took over and their
first drive was indicative of the way
the afternoon would go for Army.
The vaunted option would not
work against the Pirates quick
defense.

OPINION!
STEPHEN
ICHRAMM
Do not
read this column
Didn't you read the headline? If
you're the least bit superstitious
like I am, you're advised to net
read any further. This column is
about something I don't even want
to be talking about, and yet I just
cannot hold back.
During halftone of the
Alabama-Florida game, CBS
showed highlights of ECU's win
over Army. After the highlights
were over and the score was shown,
former Auburn coach Terry
Bowden said how ECU could run
the table and end up just like
Tulane last season.
Before I get too deep in this col-
umn let me say one thing: Being
undefeated is damn hard.
Tennessee went undefeated last
year by the grace of God. The Vols
needed a missed field goal by
Florida and Arkansas quarterback
Clint Stoerner to lay the ball on the
Neyland Stadium turf to notch
their perfect season.
Tulane, a fellow C-USA school
went undefeated in 1998 and
ended up out of any meaningful
bowl considerations. The Green
Wave played a schedule laden with'
cupcakes. They played a C-USA
schedule, but due to a scheduling
quirk they did not play ECU. In
1998, C-USA was a weaker confer-
ence. Their non-conference sched
ule included such bantamweights
as Rutgers, Navy and the never-
dangerous Ragin' Cajuns of
Southwestern Louisiana.
In 1999 C-USA is a better con-
ference. Schools like Cincinnati
and Southern Miss, have had the
huge wins that escaped them in
1998 and have played tough at
places like Ohio State and
Nebraska.
If the Pirates go undefeated
(knock on wood) and follow the
same path as Tulane, as many say
they will, it will be an injustice.
Over a year ago when the 1999
schedule fell into place, the Pirates
could have taken a cue from
Tulane. Tulane's plight proved that
a C-USA schedule was not enough
to get recognition in college foot-
ball. Thus, scheduling games with
West Virginia, South Carolina in
Columbia and N.C. State seemed
like tests tough enough to bring
attention to any program.
West Virginia lost badly to
Maryland and their season has
turned out to be a. bust. The
Gamecocks have yet to win a game
and State has been going downhill
since a win at Texas in the season's
first week. However, unlike
Tulane, the Pirates at least made an
attempt to play tough teams.
If these games don't garner any
serious consideration for the
Pirates in any big time bowls, then
the win over Miami should. If the
gods of college football can over-
look a win over a top 10 team, then'J
what's the use of playing a tough
schedule in the first place? J
Tulane went undefeated in �
1998 and played only one team
from a major conference, Rutgers, J
the doormat of the Big East. ECU J
will have played two teams from
the Big East, West Virginia and j
Miami; two teams from the ACC, j
Duke and N.C. State; and one '
team- from the SEC, South
Carolina.
I realize this is ridiculously pre-
mature, and that the bad karma
kicked up by this column is pretty
intense. The 1998 Tulane squad
was a special team and if ECU can
hold on and go to the Liberty
Bowl, it would be a great way to
end a season. However, if the
Pirates can win out, they should
not be penalized for having "a
weak schedule The truth is that

Hurricanes await All-Star center to accept proposal
RALEIGH�(AP) Carolina
Hurricanes general manager Jim
Rutherford made a last-ditch effort
to sign All-Star Keith Primeau on
Wednesday. He hopes his latest
offer will lure the team captain to
return for this weekend's opener,
but that's unlikely, says Todd
Reynolds, one of Primeau's agents.
"It's not like there is a real carrot
in here Reynolds said of the
team's offer. "It is not what we had
hoped for
The latest offer by Rutherford is
a shorter-term, two-year deal for the
6-foot-5, 220-pound center. Before
Wednesday's offer, the Hurricanes
had a five-year, $20 million deal on
the table.
Primeau, 27, who led the team
with 30 goals last season, and agents
Don and Todd Reynolds arc seek-
ing $5 million a season.
Rutherford said the new offer
still puts Primeau in the $4 million-
a-year category and includes incen-
tives close to $500,000. Primeau
would also have an opportunity to
come back to the bargaining table
in two years.
"This gives him an opportunity
to have a couple of big years and
put up some bigger numbers to
where he could come back to us or
go to an arbitrator to say I'm worth

for them, I felt very comfortable
that we could run them down
After a three and out. Army was
forced to punt. ECU's Keith
Stokes, fielded the punt and
backpedaled. Stokes got some
blockers and took off. Stokes ran to
the end zone for an apparent score.
However, an illegal block nullified
the run and the Pirates took over on
their side of the field.
The Pirates moved the ball and
when Miller connected on his sec-
ond field goal, this one from the 29,
the Pirates went up 6-0.
The Pirates took over after
another Army punt, and drove
downfield going up 9-0 on Miller's
52-yarder.
Miller's kick was ECU's longest
since Holcomb connected on a 52-
yardcr versus Miami in 19. The
kick was the third longest in school
history.
Midway through the second
quarter. Army took over and failed
to move the ball. The Cadets punt-
ed and ECU took over in their own
territory. After a Stokes' reception
moved the ball to the ECU 38,
Garrard hit Amie Powell for a 62-
yard touchdown pass. Garrard, after
being hit as he threw while Powell
caught the pass, broke a few tackles
and raced in for the score. After
Miller hit the PAT, the Pirates were
up 16-0.
Army got the ball and moved
across midfield for the first time in
the game. The Pirates blocked the
Cadets 45-yard field goal attempt
and recovered the ball on their own
2-yard line. The Pirates were able
to move the ball off of their own
goal line and punt. The half
expired shortly thereafter with the
Pirates up 16-0.
After Army's ripening drive fal-
tered, the Pirates drove downfield
and Miller connected on his founh
field goal of the day.
The third quarter saw the
Pirates and Cadets exchange pos-
sessions without scoring. Army
finally broke into the scoring-col-
umn with a touchdown early in the
fourth quarter to make the score 19-
7.
After the Cadets and Pirates
exchanged punts, Army got the ball
at their own 40-yard line. Army
quarterback Joe Gerena dropped
back to throw when defensive end
Kevin Ward slammed into him.
The ball popped loose and Norris
McCleary recovered, rumbling 40
yards for the score to put ECU on
top 26-7. The Cadets would score
again on a Gerena run and the
Pirates would score again when
Marcellus Harris returned an
onside kick for a touchdown to
make the final score 33-14.

The past 3 weeks in Greenville has been
an unusual and unique time for students,
faculty and staff.
While Hurricane Floyd and its flooding has
caused massive damage to many homes and
disrupted many lives, it has also shown us
something about ourselves and our university.
ECU and its people have responded in
astounding and exceptional ways,
including the Pirate football team who fought
from a deficit to defeat the nationally-ranked
Miami Hurricanes.
I We wanted to provide you with something to
remember this extraordinary time and these
remarkable people.
Wrapped around this issue of The East
Carolinian is a commemorative poster.
