According to an officer with the Greenville Police Department, an ECU woman near the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house on East Fifth Street was was approached by a man who asked her a question. The man grabbed her and covered her mouth and, according to the report, threatened her with physical harm if she screamed. The report said that the two struggled and that during the struggle the girl scream- ed. The report further stated that two members of the fraternity, Danny Long and Robert Fletcher, heard the scream and went to help. The man let go of the woman and left in an automobile. A man fitting the description of the assailant was picked up a few minutes later by the Greenville police department. Williams is being held on$5,000 bond. According to the arrest warrant, the assailant struck the victim several times about the head with his hands. Long and Fletcher declined to comment on their role in the inci- dent. By PAM MacLEAN SAN JOSE, Calif. (UPI) A malathion-laden helicopter sprayed pesticide over a fashionable area of 40,000 homes with military preci- sion in the opening of a massive aerial attack on the fast-spreading infestation of the Mediterranean fruit fly in the Santa Clara Valley. Some residents left the area and others locked themselves indoors and covered their cars to keep paint form being damaged. Groups of protesters stood in the drop zone just south of Stanford University as a Huey helicopter flew from a secret base under tight security and drop- ped 100 gallons of the diluted chemical along a four-mile corrider. The helicopter, whose flight was cut short by a malfunctioning pump, was guided by ground strobe lights as it made six passes in the opening salvo to control the fruit fly in a populous 109-square-mile area. The air strike began shortly after 1 a.m. PDT and covered less than half of the 15 square miles targeted before the attack was halted after 45 minutes of spraying. Spraying from the air was ordered by the state by a reluctant Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. in the face of a threatened federal quarantine of Califonria's entire $14 billion agricultural in- dustry. The aerial bombardment was to continue after midnight tonight in the three counties presently quaran- tined, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Alameda. In today's mission, three strategically based ground crews trained spotlights vertically into the night sky while another crew mann- ed a strobe light in the center of the impact zone to guide the helicopter's pilot through the neighborhoods of Palo Alto, Moun- tain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.

Brown. Brown, who opposed the spraying in favor of a massive ground attack, noted the first helicopter mission "had a lot of trouble "(Defense Secretary) Cap Weinberger on behalf of the Reagan administration took Moffett Field out" as a place to take off from, Brown said in a television interview. "They had to find a mountain somewhere, had to find an airfield. "1 believe a vigorous ground ef- fort, with the help of the Reagan ad- ministration and the people in the area, would have let us accomplish this job with almost the same pro- bability of success as with aerial spraying Opponents of the spraying lost two court battles Monday in the California Supreme Court and in a county court to stop the aerial spraying of the Mediterranean fruit fly, which could devastate Califor- nia's vast fruit and vegetable crops. N. Reacts Oregon Inlet Jetties Rejected RALEIGH (UPI) Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. Tuesday criticiz- ed the federal government's refusal to build jetties to stabtize Oregon Inlet, while a Duke University marine geologist applauded the government's decision. "The Reagan administration came into office pledging to get government working again Hunt said in a statement released by aides. "But it seems in this case that the same bureaucrats are still in con- trol The Corps of Engineers has ear- marked $119 million for the mile- long jetties ' part of an $83 million stabilization project known as the Manteo-Shallowbag Bay Project. Interior Department approval is necessary because the jetties would be anchored on land owned by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Interior Secretary James G. Watt has rejected the project. Watt, in a July 6 letter, told Hunt that Interior Department attorneys have determined it would be inad- visable for the department to issue the permits necessary for the jetties. Watt said issuance of such permits would result in lawsuits and years of litigation with environmental groups. "This decision is a real blow by the Reagan administration to the people of northeastern North Carolina, and I am greatly disap- pointed by it Hunt said Tuesday. "Congress has authorized this pro- ject and appropriated over $13 million for construction. All en- vironmental permits have been ap- proved. This is a project which would save lives, and would mean the succ-ss of the vitally important Wanchese Harbor Seafood In- dustrial Park Hunt said he will ask Watt to reconsider his decision. Hunt said Watt's decision represents a change from "his department's consistent support of developing and enhanc- ing the navigation channel through Oregon Inlet "I am calling on Secretary Watt to move ahead on this project with the same dispatch he has shown in so many other projects Hunt said. Watt's decision was praised by Dr. Orrin H. Pilkey, professor of marine geology at Duke University and an authority on the Outer Banks. Pilkey said continued dredging of Oregon Inlet should be studied as a possible alternative to the jetties. "Dredging is the most effective way to keep the inlet open for fishing and pleasure craft, while maintaining the natural state of the seashore in the immediate area Pilkey said. "Pilkey said the jetties "would be unsound economically, en- vironmentally and scientifically "1 hope Secretary Watt's decision will close the file on them he said. from cars" passing through c eck-1 points in the San Jose, Calif area, he said. .

Two weeks ago the newspaper failed to make it to the printer at all. Last week, the observant eye noticed that none of the type faces were same as in the past. This week we're back to our nor- mal system of operation, thanks to our friendly repairman. The root of the problem was a breakdown of our Compugraphic "Trendsetter 812" typesetting machine. Original examination by their service agent indicated one portion of the machine was respon- sible for the malfunction, but ultimately it was discovered to be another part which failed. The staff of The East Carolinian apologizes to our faithful readers who missed the paper or were in some way inconvenienced by its absence or tardiness. We did the best we could under the cir- cumstances. The staff also expresses our ap- preciation for our friends at The Havelock Progress and The Daily Southerner in Tarboro for their cooperation and assistance in our hour of need. I he maladies The East Carolinian has recently endured are reminiscent of those suffered just a few years ago by The Sews and Observer in Raleigh when a tragic pressroom fire drew emergency aid from com- peting newspapers. Their staff worked around the clock until pro- duction could be established in their own building. Without seeming overly gratuitous, it takes a high level of dedication from a staff to travel the distance to Havelock and Tarboro to publish your weekly copy of The East Carolinian. So the next time you feel like criticizing the quality of this newspaper, remember: Would you be willing to drive 140 miles and be up until after 5 a.m. to see that it gets printed as scheduled.? All Star Clash Missed By Few The 'mid-summer classic baseball's All Star Game, was cancelled because of the players' strike. So what? The strike has drawn on for a month now, but it is doubtful the players could have projected such mild public response. Die-hard fans are, naturally, outraged that their favorite sport has been temporarily stripped from their grasp. Many have found refuge with college or minor league baseball. But for others, it's just not the same. The owners' refusal Sunday to ac- cept a resolve suggested by federal mediator Ken Moffitt drew harsh criticism from Marvin Miller, ex- ecutive director of the Players' Association. � "I HWOMUL mtRCW SteUON IS ELCDKINc cm M.

'BECAUSE I'VE 60T CLASS IN &REUSTER, THAT'S WHY" 3 Riots Show Political Expression By PAUL COLLINS Summer's here and the time is right For fighting in the street, boys But what can poor boy do Except sing for a rock and roll band 'Cause in sleepy London town There's just no place for a street fighting man. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Nearly fourteen years after The Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man" first hit the airwaves, the youth of Britain seems intent on proving that there is indeed a place for street fighting in "sleepy" London town and the rest of Britain as well. In the past 10 days, Britain has seen what government and police officials are calling the worst rioting in the country's history. Rioting began in London on July 2 and has spread to Liverpool, Manchester and other major cities. The rioting, which British Home Secretary William Whitelaw has described as being of "extraordinary ferocity has taken place primarily among Britain's youth. Indeed, some of the rioters have been as young as nine years old. Britain's high unemployment rate has been pointed to as the primary cause of the riots. In Liverpool's Toxteth section, where much of the violence has occurred, as much as 40 percent of the people are without jobs, and the problem is par- ticularly severe among the young. Rioters in Toxteth indicated that the violence was directed against the establish- ment, an explanation that sounds eriely familiar. The establishment, in the form of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's conservative government, has responded by rejecting social welfare programs for the inner cities. Secretary Whitelaw claims that worldwide experience shows that "buying oneself out of such situations is impossi- ble For her part, Thatcher responded with the naive statement that "most of us did not think these kind of things could hap- pen in our country What Thatcher seems to have failed to realize is that her pro- grams are not working and that she has pushed the British people to the brink. In short, the people� at least the young� are fed up. Even former Conser- vative Prime Minister Edward Heath has joined the critics of Thatcher's economic policies, blaming her for breeding crime and racial hatred through "incomprehensible policies Leaders of other nations no doubt fear that similar riots will catch on elsewhere, and for America the warning should be clear. The histories of Britain and the United States have always been entertwined, and in recent years economic and political developments in Britain haveforeshadow- ed those in the United States. First, England went into a long economic decline marked by high inflation and unemploy- ment, a pattern evident in this country in recent years. Two years ago Britain turned to a conservative government that promis- ed economic reform, and the United States followed suit last year, giving conser- vatives control of the White House and Senate. Reagan's plans to revive the American economy echoed many of Thatcher's: cut taxes, give breaks to business and hope that the measures taken would stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. The plan has not worked in Britain, and though the U.S. economy has improved in the past several months, "Reaganomics" can hardly take credit for the changes or claim victory over the country's economic woes. The parallels here are too real to ignore, and if the pattern continues, it seems in- evitable that rioting will spread to America. Unemployment among young blacks is already hovering near 20 percent, and frustration is increasing palpably. The murders in Atlanta are a sign of this frustration, as were last year's riots in Miami. And, with the Administration's budget cuts, destined to further deprive the already deprived, frustration is bound to increase. Another common characteristic of the Reagan and Thatcher governments is an inscnsitivity to the plight of the economically and socially deprived. Both governments gear their programs toward the monied interests, while walking all over the less fortunate. It is only a matter of time before these people realize that their governments do not have their best interests at heart. In fact, young people in Britain seem to have made this realization. And violence is their only response. Sadly, they have been driven so far that this is the only response they are capable of. How long will it be before frustration reaches such a level in this country? Certainly it is hard to justify rioting as a means of political expression, but it is also impossible to justify the insensitivity of the British and American governments. Stepping Forward Aids Prevention Campus Forum By KATHARINE KIMBERLY An East Carolina student set a precedent Monday night which, if followed in the future, could prove to be both a protective and a preventive measure against assault on campus.

Mathenge, an international student, attempts to enlighten the " prejudiced" American attitude toward foreign coun- tries. He proposes that the American at- titude is a misconception because it is a "one-sided image" generated by the "media and the government in their at- tempt to promote patriotism Since I have lived in the "States" my entire life, 1, for one, must admit to being somewhat ignornat of his culture and other foreign cultures. It is enjoyable to read about the alleged differences Mathenge says exist. But I am confused by the rhetoric of his arguments. Mathenge says, among other things, that his column is "in the interest of im- proving the lot of the internation stu- dent, not to mention international rela- tions He also expresses his amaze- ment at the extent to which ignorance and stereotyping have been cultivated in the average American concerning foreign cutures and that "trivial media stereotyping" regulates our "social pre- judices" and attitudes. Obviously, some of the propositions upon which the author bases his arguments are noteworthy. For exam- ple, many experts agree that the awesome determiner of many American attitudes seems to be television. The tube is repor'ed to be the largest and most in- fluential battleground for a politician to capture. The intentions of the author seem to be positive. He wants to "improve international relations although I do not seriously believe that this one article will sway our government into condoning non-apartheid policies. Although his facts are scholarly they are still debatable. "Facts" that are not debatable in- clude the author's characterizations of the different people and nationalities. I believe they are incorrect and inconsis- tent with the basis of his argument. I think he is wrong in assuming and stating that "the majority of white peo- ple" are receptive to Africans because they are fresh out of the jungle. After all, a person who has experienced dif- ferent cultures is often more sociable and interesting because of his worldly knowledge. And I do not think that a black American who is "disinterested in the affairs of his Third World roots" is "unwelcoming He is simply more con- cerned with domestic affairs. How many Anglos do you see hooting and hollering over Margaret Thatcher's "thug" pro- blem. Also, it is absurd to think that American youth would actually jeer at the foreign student who does not drive to school. If the author is correct in assuming that it is wrong for social pre- judices and "trivial media stereotyping" to determine attitudes then it is wrong to "gather several differences" and characterize a people. This seedy characterization is not productive and will not create stronger ties. This author is simply adding to the social prejudices and trivial media stereotyping that he so vehemently opposes. TOM S1EN1CK1 Sophomore, general college resisted. She did, however, manage to scream, and two members of the fraternity ran out of the house to help her, frighten- ing her assailant away. The man, later ap- prehended by Greenville police, was charg- ed with assault and attempted kidnapping and awaits trial. My point is this: instead of dropping charges and trying to keep the matter quiet, as has been the normal practice in the past, this young woman has decided to press charges. Her action in this case may have several results. It may prevent other such occurrances. Most certainly it will cause other possible victims to exercise caution before placing themselves in potentially dangerous situations. And, hopefully, it will encourage others to report and prosecute such crimes on and around campus. By word of mouth, I have heard of rapes and assaults which have occurred on this and other campuses but were never reported due to the woman's em harass- ment andor discouragement from law of- ficials. These victims not only do themselves an injustice, but, by allowing their assailant to remain at large, place other women in danger of being attacked. Law enforcement agents also, in trying to hide the facts from the public and promote a good image, serve as accomplices in the perpetration of violent crimes against women. It has been said, by men and women alike, that most victims of crimes such as rape deserved what they got� or got what they deserved. No one deserves to be raped, male or female. But women, due to their physiological make-up, are much more susceptible to physical attacks from the opposite sex. Perhaps those who say (and even believe) that rape is usually deserved are trying to reassure themselves that it could never happen to them or their friends because they would never place themselves in such a position to be "asking for it But the fact is "it" can happen to anyone. Must women lock themselves in or travel in numbers after dark simply because they are physically weaker than men? According to a study done by Linda Kraus, an East Carolina graduate student in sociology, on sexual harassment of female students by professors, eight per- cent of the ECU students studied had been victims of what Kraus deemed "severe sex- ual harassment That is, they had been openly propositioned or had sexual favors demanded of them or had been physically assaulted by a professor. In the two cases of assault, no action was taken against the faculty members, and they are, presumably, still teaching here. If these assaults, by supposed authority figures on campus, are not reported and puniswed, the rate of proscecution of non- faculty assailants must be phenomonally low. The young woman who reported and pressed charges against the man who assaulted her Monday night took courageous action against the standing norms in similar situations. I, for one, commend her actions and hope that other such victims will take her example and report and proscecute such crimes. Such action would benefit the female population on this campus and on campuses across the country. Forum Rules The East Carolinian welcomes tetters expressing all points of view.

In- deed the dancers themselves, some with shocking pink hair, others in wide-shouldered leopard skin jump suits, were two-stepping � but not in the fashion of the slick kids who had danced in this very same club just a couple of years before. No, this wasn't happening in Greenville. It was the scene at one of Atlanta's hottest new clubs, The Limelight, shortly after the Christmas holidays last year. These dancers were hopping rhythmically from one foot to another � one, two, one, two � to a brand new beat, a mixture of the hard fourfour of rock 'n' roll and the slight syncopation of West Indian ska music, pumped out by a British band called The Specials, a beat that, coming through a few million dollars worth of stereo equipment, made standing still a waste of legs. White shirts and shapeless jackets apparently be- queathed by the death of a salesman; grey porkpie hats tucked over haircuts so short the scalp gleamed through; ordinary faces hidden partially by dark sunglasses � this was the look of a gang that hung out in the lounge for most of the evening. Was there anything like this in the '60s? Sure, the energy. Is there anything even remotely like this here in Greenville? No, not really. Not yet, anyway. The Atlanta crowd, like others all over the U.S U.K and beyond, really lives the message carried in its music: "It's better than pleasure and it nurts more than pain Contort your body and adjust your soul" are the '50s-style instructions to a dance song by James White and The Blar The energy of new wave is reminiscent of the mid60s, when that first British rock invasion changed the look and heart of a generation, and some fans con- tend that the new music � which includes more styles and sounds every moment � is just a revival of good old rock n' roll. Most of the new sounds have been filtering into this area for about a year now, and on special occasions some of the local "bars" allow the music of bands like The Police, Dirty Looks, The Ramones, and even The Clash into their carefully selected playlists: Here one can listen to the pared-down musical arrangements, the dissonant guitar, the sometimes annihilating beat, the steady bass-line, the compressed-sounding vocals with the rich edge trimmed off, the mingled wit and cool despair of the lyrics. So, even in an area where disco and beach music still hang in the air as thick as the musk oil worn by many of its followers, it is possible to hear music that is undeniably the stuff of the '80s, for children of limited expectations, for urban dwellers (suburban dwellers) facing a future made strange by technology, the price of housing, inflation, threats of war. If punk rock was angry, new wave is cool � coolly prepared to cope with modern life. And though it spins moods for moderns, its values would sound reassuringly familiar to those who circled the floor of the local dance palace in the '30s and '40s: self-sufficiency, in- dependence, integrity, I-will-do-it-myself. Despite its sometimes alarming punk trappings, lime green Spandex pants paired with clashing orange shirts, new wave music is the farthest two-step away from decadence, from disco, from the incessant music in- dustry hype of the past few years. Its byword is not dance, dance, dance but think, think, think. It's almost as if new wavers have been reading How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years; having replaced disco, new wave is the only pop music trend at the mo- ment that is growing. The pioneer success in the U.S. of groups such as Blondie, The Police and The Cars, registered in lists of musical hits, was just a beginning. Currently on the pop charts are groups like The Jam, The Undertones, Pretenders, Buzzcocks, Madness, The Specials, and on, and on. Radio is suddenly with it; big-city FM stations are vy- ing to be the first with the most new wave. Even AM radio is beginning to see the light (once again, in the larger cities): in some areas, groups like Talking Heads and the B-52's are selling gold and platinum. According to Billboard magazine the Toronto, Canada, market for the B-52's is the largest in the world. Radio stations in Toronto are now giving DEVO s arrangement of the Stone's "Satisfaction" lots of AM airplay because it no longer sounds as strange as it once did. But far better than the scorekeeping data of the music business, an industry well-known for confusing sales statistics with standards, the spirit of new wave may be read in the sound itself, the style of those who make it and the attitude of those who come to listen. Though persistently tagged "new wave" (to the See AIN'T, Page 6 Talking Heads' David Byrne (top) collaborates with innovator Brian Eno.

'S.O.B Earns Its Stripes; 'Stripes' Does Not ByJOHNWEYLER SUff V rtier "To bare or not to bare"�That is the question asked in Blake Edwards' new comedy "S.O.B currently playing at the Plitt Theater in Greenville. The film is a frantic, funny fable about a director who tries to turn his flop of a family film into a sexy scorcher. To attempt this transition, the director (played by Richard Mulligan) must convice the pure-as-snow star of the film, who is also his wife, to change her screen imige from Pure to Porn. She is played by Julie An- drews, who in this movie proves that Mary Poppins can do more than fly. "S.O.Bis a stabing incision into the ugly underbelly of Hollywood. The Great American Wet Dream Machine is dismantled and examined, revealing the greed, lust for power, paranoia, egotism and insanity that form its components. Edwards wrote the script as a form of revenge. "I was putting my demons to rest he was quoted in a recent issue of Newsweek. "My criticism is with the system-the way people without credentials impose creative judgments on people who do have credentials Edwards' ire is also aimed at the people behind the system. Supposedly, some of the film's characters are based on actual individuals. Everyone in his large cast. which includes William Holden, Larry Hagman, Stuart Margolin, Robert Vaughn, Robert Webber, Mansa Berenson and Loretta Swit, plays some sort of slut, scum, psycho or son-of-a-bitch. Robert Preston particularly stands out as a cynical, besotted observer of life among the low and mighty. He, Holden and Webber, "The Three Muscatels provide some of the movies best sequences, which involve a mid- night funeral parlor robbery. While Edwards' ideas are lofty, his humor is lowbrow, including slapstick, sight gags, sex gags, scatology, even desecration of the dead- in short, something for everyone. Most of the film is funny, most of it is on a fifth-grade level, some of it falls completely flat. This level of humor is in common with most cur- rent comedies. What sets "S.O.B apart is that it has something to say mainly, that Hollywood is full of �.

Have a great summer and have fun at college. Good luck always The above quote may be familiar to many of you. It was written about 12 times in my high school annuals, and may have appeared (with variations for those who never took Spanish) in yours an equal number of times. My own high school annuals are filed away in my bookshelf at home with stacks of other books that I haven't touched for years. It doesn't mat- ter, really, since one of my roommates has an an- nual from his high school, and it has all the same stuff that was in mine. Although the blank pages that become covered with all the student signatures and soliloquies are my favorite part of my old annuals, there are some other amusing sections. The first section usually has all the patriotic school stuff in it. That includes the high school's alma mater song, the fight song, the school seal, a picture of the school's first principal and all that other junk that nobody ever really looks at. Although the students at my school were more or less forced to get their pictures taken each year, nobody dragged the teachers in. There were usually several teachers who only appeared in the "not pictured" caption. It was fun to look in old school annuals to see the pictures of my teachers when they were younger. Some would look totally different after lO or 15 years; others apparently never changed. Bunches of group pictures, for sports and school clubs followed. These pictures, in one's own annual, can be interesting for finding pic- tures of old friends; in other people's annuals. those pictures are among the least interesting. (What would be duller than a picture of a whole crowd of strangers? Usually, getting our little mug shots taken for the book wasn't too much trouble. We just lined up out in the hall, and filed into a storage room that had been converted into a photography studio. The photographers called the guys "Buddy" or "Pal" and said cute things to the girls to make them giggle for the pictures. It was, at least, a way to get out of a dull class for a few minutes. For my senior year, they decided that our class had to dress up for the annual pictures. To make things worse, we had to get our pictures taken during the summer in the basement of a depart- ment store downtown.

Needless to say, I was depressed over the fact that there probably wouldn't be any more baseball played this summer. Grown men who can't even reach a simple agreement have seen to that. I gazed at the top of my dresser, seeing an old ball that brought back fond memories when 1 had longed for megabucks, large cars and fame: the game ball from my old Junior Babe Ruth days when I once struck out 13 batters in a single contest. 1 reached and gently picked it up, putting my fingers on the seems, ready to throw the ol'curve once again, when I saw a face suddenly appearing� just like a crystal ball! 1 soon ecognized who he was� my idol, even though I never saw him play a single game� "The Georgia Peach Ty Cobb. Here I was, face to face with the most feared man of his day. I remembered reading about a late-season game in 1910 when Detroit was playing Philadelphia, and Cobb was dashing toward third base. He hit the dirt, his razor-sharp spikes high in the air. Suddenly, there was a cry from Frank "Home Run" Baker, the Athletic's third basemen. Baker held his arm, blood oozing from a deep gash. Baseball's most feared man had struck again. "I hear you got troubles, Boy he said, awakening me from my trance. "Yessir I stammered. "The players have gone on strike, and the owners refuse to give in "The owners shouldn't give in Cobb shot back. "The salaries right now are outrageous, and besides, the players don't care any more about the game, about win- ning. All they care about is their paycheck, fancy cars and houses, sharp clothes. Why, back in my day, we played a game called baseball because we loved it. To- day it's a business, a big business, not a sport My memory took me back to a book I read about the Peach. Few men in sports ever have been as widely disliked as Cobb. Yet even his fiercest enemies had to concede that he had two virtues: courage and amazing ability. The legendary sports writer, Grantland Rice, once recalled: "Each of Cobb's legs was a mass of raw flesh. He had a temperature of 103. The doctor ordered him to bedJfofa'iWiee-daey test. That afternoon he got three hits and stole three bases, sliding into second and third on sore, battered flesh How many players would do that today? I asked myself. Not many. Some refuse to play if they have a pulled muscle or a dislocated finger. Cobb would have. He played 24 years in the majors and had a lifetime average of .367. Twelve times he won the American League batting title and three times he hit over .400. He averaged 37 stolen bases a season, including a high of 96 in 1915. He would often walk, then steal his way around the diamond. He would shout to the pitcher that he was going to steal on the next pitch� and keep his promise. Experts today would call that cockiness, but as Will Rogers once said, "It ain 't bragging if you can do it But why was he here, talking to me? Suddenly, it hit me. Cobb caused the first mass player strike in baseball history, back in 1912! He hit .410 during that season, but the trouble began when he stormed into the stands and attacked a heckler who had been riding him mercilessly the entire game. Cobb was suspended indefinitely by the league presi- dent. The Tiger players refused to play without him. "You're right" he said. "But remember, we had something to strike over. I probably shouldn't have gone into the stands, but we players are human, and we can only take so much. We're in the public eye, so we have to be careful. We had a right to strike, but today, these players don't. They have everything. When the average salary is almost as much as the president's, that's ridiculous EC Students In Festival A �: Catcher Jack Curlings rounds third. PhOlO Bv HOCMEL ROLAND By WILLIAM YELVERTON Sports UltiK Eight East Carolina students have been selected to compete for the South in team handball competition at the National Sports Festival later this month, according to Dr. Wayne Edwards, team handball coor- dinator of the Festival.being held in Syracuse. Carl Karpinski of Greensboro is a member of the South men's team, while Donna Eason, Shirley Brown, Gail O'Brien, Maureen Buck, Ginger Rothermel, Elaine Davis and Jo Landa Clayton have all been selected to represent the same region in the women's competition. They will compete against teams from the west, midwest and east in Olympic-style competition for the purpose of helping select team members for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. The Festival is designed to keep the public abreast of Olympic competition. "We are excited that our students were selected to compete in the FestivalDr. Edwards said. "It's good for the university At the completion of the Festival, there will be 25 men and 25 women selected to comprise a pre-Olympic handball national team. Edwards said at least two players from East Carolina have a good chance of making the national squad. Team handball was introduced in the Olympic Games at Berlin in 1936 but was discontinued until the Munich Games of 1972. The sport returned to Olympic competition in the 1976 Games in Montreal. The National Sports Festival will be made up of 33 sports, including, other than handball, archery, baseball, basketball, boxing, cycl- ing, field hockey, fencing, track and field, yachting, volleyball and soft- ball. Competition runs from July 23-29, and many events will be car- ried by the Entertainmen and Sports Programming Network, as well -ABC. Edwards said the handball teams reported to Syracuse on July 13 for 10 days of practice prior to the beginning of competition on July 24. Of the 15-member women's South team, seven of the competitors are from North Carolina. Brown is from vhoskie; Buck, Silver Spring, Md Clayton, Roxboro; Davis, Clinton; Eason, Macclesfield; O'Brien, Greensboro, and Rothermel is a resident of Jackson- ville East Carolina sprinter Calvin Astin competed for the South team in track and field at the Festival last summer. Pirate HR 's Top Pack By WILLIAM YELVERTON Seorlltdilor Throughout this-North State Summer League season, the Pirates of East Carolina have "longed" for that big inning; the kind that destroys an opponent's rally. The Bucs finally had that explosive inning Monday night, and was it ever long� about 360 and 380 feet, respec- tively. And it certainly paid off: the Pirates defeated the Wolfpack of N.C. State, 11-5, to take sole possession of second place. The victory, before a crowd of over 500, boosted the Pirates' record to 14-11 and gave the team itslast five games. After losing the first two meetings to State, the Pirates have now taken the last four out of five games from their rivals. For the first three inning, the Pirates were quiet, not yet managing a hit. Starter Rick Ramey had already been sent to the showers, and the Wolfpack was leading, 4-1. However, three innings later, the Pirates were alive. Jay Carraway lashed a single down the third baseline, advancing Pete Persico, who had walked. Mike Sorrell followed with a double, scoring Carraway and Persico. Todd Hendley then belted a two-strike pitch over the leftfield fence for his third home run of the season. The Pirates again erupted in the sixth when Jack Curlings doubled to center, later scoring on Persico's single. Charlie Smith walked, bring up Carraway, who blasted another two-strike pitch over the leftfield fence, driving in three runs, giving the Pirates an insurmoun- table 11-4 lead. State scored its final run in the sixth, but Parsons, in relief, struck out two and walked one in four and a third innings of work. Curling and Carraway each collected three hits, the latter driving in three runs. Sorrell and Hendley knock- ed in two runs each, also. The Pirates picked up another big win last Saturday night by scoring two runs in the top half of the sixth to hold off North Carolina, 5-4. The game was tied, 3-3, going into the sixth, but Curl- ings singled and went to second on Todd Evans' sacrifice. Curlings later scored on Persico's single. Pitcher Charlie Smith then singled, moving Persico to third. Persico scored on Carraway's single, making it 5-3, East Carolina. Carolina took a 3-0 lead early when Mitch McClenny walked and moved to second on Ronnie Broom's single. John Marshall's sacrifice advanced both runners. Pete Kumiega singled, scoring McClenny and Broom. Todd Wilkinson then singled to score Kumiega. The Pirates cut the deficit to two runs on a solo shot by Curlings in the second inning. In the third, Carraway reached on an error and moved to second on Robert Wells' walk. Sorrell then doubled home both runers. Curlings was three-for-four for the Pirates, driving in one run. Wells added two hits. Last Friday night, in a setting little boys dream of while playing ball in the backyard, Todd Evans belted a two-out grand-slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Pirates an 8-4 win over league-leading Camp- bell on a hot and humid night at harrington Field. "Todd got all of it a pleased coach Gary Overton said afterwards. "It was a rope The Pirates took advantage of two straight bases- loaded walks to put together the six-run seventh. Glenn McConnel picked up the win in relief. The Buc victory seemed deserving, as the Camels nip- ped the Pirates at Buies Creek last week in nearly the same situation. In action last Thursday night, the Pirates split a double-header with State, a 5-3 loss in the opener but an 8-2 win in the nightcap. In the second game, Rick Ramey hurled a four-hitter, backed by home runs by John Hallow and Robert Wells, as the Bucs played nearly flawless baseball. Note: The format for the league tournament, the first in its history, has been announced by league president Walter Rabb. The tourney will be a four-team double-elimination event at the site of the regular-season champion. Two games will be played on July 23rd, 24th and 25th. If necessary, a single game will be played on the 26th. Starting times for the games will be 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Ticket price will be determined by the host team. The last-place team will not qualify for the tourna- ment. Any postponed game which has not been made up by the end of the regular season and affects the final standings will be played July 22nd. Campbell is in first place, followed by East Carolina, UNC-Wilmington and N.C. State. North Carolina is in last place. Strictland and Pollard of Campbell lead the league in hitting, .485 and .414, respectively. Home of Ca. pbell and Ramey of East Carolina have the best ERA, 1.80 and 2.45, respectively. RU. USL At By CHRIS HOLLOM AN (Editor's Note: These are the sixth and seventh in a series of articles covering East Carolina's 1981 football. This week's report is on the Spiders of Richmond and the Rajin' Cajuns of Southwestern Louisiana.) In the capital of the Old Dominion state, Spider fans are calling Head Football Coach Dal Shealy a miracle worker. And why not? All Shealy did was turn an 0-11 team into a 5-6 team last year. For all of these efforts, Shealy was amed the Big Five Coach-of-the-Year" in Virginia. The Virginia "Big Five" includes Richmond, VMI, William and Mary, VP1 and the University of Virginia. But what about the coming season? Can Shealy pro- duce the Spiders first winning season since 1973, when Richmond hit the national rankings? There is not much doubt that he can, if a young of- fense, with only five returning starters, develops the way Shealy expects it to. The Richmond offensive attack will be blessed with the return of two highly touted performers in the backfield. They are runningback Barry Redden and quarterback Steve Krainock. Redden enters the season as the Spiders all-time leading rusher after running for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns in 1980. He was named the Virginia Offensive Player-of-thc-Year for his ef- forts. Meanwhile Krainock passed for 1,653 yards with a 52 percent accuracy. , Also returning to add depth to the running back posi- tion are Reggie Evans and Stevie Catlett, who ranked se- cond and third respectively behind Redden. Evans ran for 408 yards, with a 4.5 yards per carry average and Catlett added 1 yards, at a 4.1 clip. The real problem areas for the Spiders are rebuilding the offensive line and the receiving corps, which were destroyed by graduation. There are only seven lettermen for five spots on the offensive line. Of these lettermen, the most dependable lineman ap- pears to be tackle George Roberts. Thus far, however, no other players have come forward to claim the other spots. In the receiving department, all four top pass receivers have graduated, including Richmond's two starting wide outs and their two most experienced tight ends. When you talk about the Spider defense, a smile has to come to coach Shealy's face. This will be Rich- mond's strong suit as 10 starters return to the fold for 1981. Heading the list of returnees are Mark Seale and Jay Brown. Seale, a 250 pound tackle, led the Spiders with 85 hits last season. Brown caused four fumbles last year with his hard hitting style of play. The other spots will be manned by defensive end Stan Jones and tackle Mike Moran. At the linebacker position John Burgess leads the way with 68 tackles last year. Others that should contribute are Jim Gay, Guy Green and Jimmy Lyles. In the Spider secondary, senior Steve Gerdon returns along with Mike London and Terry Waller. Both juniors, Waller make 53 stops while London had 63, despite an injury. The Richmond schedule has always been tough and this year will be no exception. The Spiders will open with road games at N.C. State, Virginia Tech and Arkansas State. The Southland Conference Coach-of-the-Year in his first season as head coach at USL, Sam Robertson will have a tough time repeating the success that brought a 7-4 record to Rajin' Cajun land last year. The reason is that the Cajuns have been hit hard by graduation, especially on the defensive line. Last year USL won all five of its home contests and two on the road. One of those two wins came over East Carolina in Ficklen Stadium, 27-21. All of these added up to the Cajuns first winning record in three years. On the USL offense Dwight Prudhomme returns to the quarterbacking duties after an injury last season limited his duty. He did manage to complete 13 of 24 passes despite a painful shoulder injury. Curtis Calhoun is back at the tight end where he rank- ed fifth in the Southland conference in receiving with an average of 2.9 catches a game. The backfield, which was so important to the Cajuns last season, has been wiped out by graduation. Incom- ing freshmen will have to take up the slack. Last year's Cajuns were noted for their tough play on the defensive side of the ball, but with 11 starters now gone Robertson will have to play a lot of underclassmen in the various spots. The return of a healthy Andy Martin, who made All- Southland Conference as a junior, will be a big help to the young defensive line. Last year the Cajuns ranked 35th in the nation in total defense allowing 294 yards per game. That was good enough for a first place finish in total defense in the con- ference. This coming year's schedule should be kind to Southwestern Louisiana with the exception of a few games.

If so, you've been told wrong. "Stripes" is a popular film, because the pro- ducers followed the Modern Movie Comedy Sure-Fire Success Formula, which is: �Hire any ex-Not Ready For Prime Time Player. � Choose a setting and situation ripe with in- herent humorous possibilities (an army training camp in this case). � Get some writers, preferably Saturday Night Live andor National Lampoon alumni, to whip up a script. � Find several young women with nice bodies and big breasts who don't mind showing them on screen. � Mix the above ingredients together, hype well, serve in cinemas across the country, and wait for the cash to start rolling in. Due to this plan we have such critically- panne but mostly crowd-pleasing pictures as "Caddyshack "First Family "1941 "Meatballs "The Blues Brothers "Where the Buffalo Roam and of course "Animal House the grandaddy of them all. "Animal House" was different though. It had some style and cinematic expertse, and, above all, was original. "Stripes like most of it's breed, is unoriginal, ineptly written and directed, not very funny, and very exploitative. The picture's plot concerns a low-life loser (Murray) who cosiders the Army his last hope for gaining some self-respect.

It takes influences from pop, rock, reggae, jazz and disco, and it is brash enough to borrow lessons from "serious" sources such as the work of electronics com- posers Philip Glass and Steve Reich, muddying the distinction between "popular" music and its time-honored superior art. It is primitive and it is "post-modern Per- formers play guitars as if they were just in- vented but take synthesizers for granted. Their stance combines the cool of the street-wise tough with the nutty composure of the minimalist artist. For a new generation of city dwellers who consider going to concerts a staple of life, new wave is loud, simple, fun, cheap and as close as the local bar. The close contact between new wave per- formers and fans has meant a trust in the in- tegrity of the music that harks back to the days of the Beatles. The trust has even inspired the professional cynics, the rock music press. Rock weeklies like Melody Maker are notorious for keeping a taskmaster's eye cocked for evidence of compromise, and rap knuckles with doc- tinaire rulers when they sense a band is having trouble keeping stardom at bay. New wave artists have taken all the chances a thorny commitment to a new way of making music demands: risking obscurity, poverty, Annuals Preserve Continued From Page 4 Getting all the way down there, waiting in line and getting back home pretty well shredded up my afternoon. After all that trouble, my pic- ture still looked rotten. 1 was also in a large half-page picture. One of the cheerleaders sat behing me in Spanish, and a photographer snapped a picture of her for the book. In addition to her, the picture caught the back of by head and part of my shirt collar. The comment sections of my annuals have a fair number of autographs, short notes and odds and ends written by old classmates of mine. (Some of these notes approach novellette size a few of those people got carried away at the sight of blank pages in a year book.) A few people preferred not to write on the blank pages in the annuals, and they'd write all over the page that had their class picture. That way, 1 had some pages covered with blue ball- point pen scribbles obliterating the original photographs, I just hope there weren't too many people I knew on those pages. Besides the writings of friends, there are plenty of signatures and odd notes written by people who I've already forgotten. Luckily, I wrote the last names of people who just signed their first names. If 1 hadn't done that, there would be half a dozen illegible scribbles signed Mike, Bill or Susan that I'd never be able to figure out now. One friend of mine was an exchange student from Norway. She wrote some stuff in Norwegian in my senior annual. I forgot exact- ly what it meant, but I think it was something like "Gosh, it's been real neat having you in my Spanish class this year failure. Risking stardom is just the next big challenge. But fans, critics and performers alike trust that new wave will survive the pressures of fortune and fame. As they wander nightly into the grungy clubs that are the temples of new wave, they are sure that, in the words of David Byrne, "This ain't no party this ain't no disco this ain't no foolin' around The Czechs are portrayed as being brutal and quite stupid. Their entire military base is unable to capture a handful of half-witted, raw recruits, and they exhibit an enjoyment of beating helpless prisoners. Helping the ERA along is not this movie's objective, either: all the women in the film are brainless sex objects. The two female M.Ps who fall for Murray and his pal Harold Ramis are shown to be capable, efficient soldiers when they want to be. However, they arc ready to drop duty, discipline and their drawers at any time. The rest of the women depicted have no brains at ali, just boobs and bottoms which are displayed in totally gratuitous scenes of mud- wrestling and shower-peeping. "Stripes" does have a few good moments, about 10 of them to be exact: Murray's stirring speech to his fumbling comrades-in-arms in which he explains that all Americans are misfits, losers and immigrants and should be proud of it, and the immediately following ceremonial march where he leads his men in song and dance arms display. This latter part, the song and dance drill, has been prominently shown on TV in promotional pieces. So why spend the time and money to go see "Stripes" when you've already seen the best part for free? This reviwer can't recommend it. All 1 can say is see "Stripes" if you want to sit through a couple of hours of crudely-done slapstick, and gratuitous sex and violence, which, judging from the success of this movie and many more like it, is what people want to see.
