Poverty report on region calls

News Editor
Eastern North Carolina, a 41-
county area plagued by illiteracy,
poverty and substandard hous-
ing, needs improvements in edu-
cation, job training, child care and
transportation, according to a
report released Friday on the ECU
campus.
Identifying "the many faces
of poverty" in the region, the two-
year study conducted by the East-
ern North Carolina Poverty
Committee found 43.8 percent of
North Carolinians categorized as
"poor" live in the east.
'Think of it (the eastern re-
gion of North Carolina) as a Third
World country Charles Coble,
Dean of ECU's School of Educa-
tion and a member of the commit-
tee said during the presentation.
Statistically, the region has more
illiterates and a higher infant
mortality rate than some undevel-
oped nations, Coble said
"Poverty is a reality. Many of
us talk about poverty and the
need to do something to end the
cycle co-chairman Maria O'Neil
McMahan, Dean of the School of
Social Work, said. McMahan and
E.C. Modlin, Director of Cumber-
land County Department of So-
cial Services headed the 18-mem-
ber committee in creating the
report entitled: "Poverty in the
East: Shared Ownership in the
Problems and Solution
The committee used a defini-
tion of poverty as "a family of four
with an income below $11,650
taken from a Department of
Health and Human Services Feb.
1988 report.
With a common goal to in-
crease awareness on the problem,
the study also had specific recom-
mendations in areas of education,
health, public and private serv-
ices, and housing.
On the hinges of the
Chancellor's Forum (sec related
story), education became one of
the major concerns of the report.
The study found a direct link be-
tween poverty and the lack of
education.
"Over 77 percent of the
households below poverty level
in North Carolina are headed by
individuals with less than a high
school education the report

Admission director sought
Bv GARY SANDERSON
SuilWritrr
In June 1988, Charles Seeley,
former Director of Admissions at
ECU took an early medical retire-
ment, leaving the position open
during the busiest time of year with
record numbers oi incoming fresh-
men applying for admittance.
Since a nationwide search for a
new director would take months,
Eugene Owens was temporarily
appointed director for one year.
Now. a search committee is socking
to till the position permantly.
"The position is advertised in
the Ian. 4 edition of The Chronicle
of Higher Education and in Black Is-
sues in Higher Education Dr. Pa-
tricia Anderson said, who was re-
cently appointed chairperson of the
search committee organized to find
a new Admissions Director. Also,
notices have been sent to all admis-
sions offices in public and private
schools in North Carolina.
Anderson said that ECU has
had difficulty in the past with send-
ing employment opportunities out
to minority groups. "ECU has a
record of not getting a sufficient
number of minority applicants,
though we have a good hiring rec-
ord said Anderson. "We want to
make the position available to all
who are qualified and interested in
the position she said.
"1 haven't been told to hire a
Mack or a woman. I've been told to
ge?. applications from them she
said. "In the end, the most qualified
applicant will get the job, no matter
what race or sex
Anderson said that she expects
anywhere from 100 to 200 applica-
tions before the February 15 dead-
line. In order to be considered, one
must have five to seven years ad-
missions experience, have interests
in student retention efforts, and
preferably have at least one gradu-
ate degree. ECU faculty applica-
tions are welcomed and encour-
aged.
"Right now we have a major
push towards student retention,
that is, keeping students who begin
college at ECU Anderson said.
"We're interested in getting stu-
dents qualified and allowing them
to reattend
Anderson said that the stu-
dent bodv would be allowed to
voice their opinion on the issue
before a final decision is
reached. "Perhaps we'll hold an
opening meeting or something
of that nature she said.
Other members of the
search committee include Caro-
line Ayeri, Trenton G. Davis,
SusanC.Smithand LarrySmith.
Jo Ann Jones will serve as non-
voting secretary of the commit-
tee.
"The committee is really
excited about the impact we can
have through our search proc-
ess and I'm personally thrilled
to be the committee chair
Anderson said.
"The admissions office
handles everything having to
do with who attends the univer-

OPINION
Page 4
Poverty
A recent report from the Eastern
North Carolina Poverty Committee
paints a gloomy picture of this sec-
tion of the state, prompting one
observer to compare the region to a
Third World country.
We live in an era in which the
president of the United States im-
plies that homeless people live on
the street because they enjoy being
forced to sleep on heating grates in
the dead of winter. His statement,
though no more brainless than
many others he has made, reflects
and reinforces a common attitude
toward the "financially disabled
as Reagan and his former lapdog
Bush often refer to them.
It's comforting to think that the
poor are poor because they want to
be, or because there lazy, because
that belief removes guilt from the
believer. Comforting it may be, but
it is also wrong. True, there are some
who feed from the welfare trough
and have no desire to do anything
else. But to judge all by the actions oi
a few is patently ridiculous. For
most, being on welfare is a degrad-
ing and humiliating experience,
made worse by the fact that it is
difficult to get off welfare.
By way of example, take a fairlv
typical case. The head of the house-
hold is a black female high school
dropout, with four dependent chil-
dren and no husband. The house
itself is little better than a tin shack.
The woman can't go job-hunting,
because she is afraid to leave her
children at home ? probably justi-
fiably afraid, as poverty-ridden ar-
eas are usually also crime-ridden.
Even if a job comes her way
somehow, she literally can't afford
to work. If she takes the job, she must
provide day care for her children (or
risk their lives and criminal charges
of neglect). Most jobs available to a
black female high school dropout do
not pay nearly enough to cover the
costs of living for five plus the costs
of day care for four.
And if, by some miracle, the job
does pay well enough, our heroine
will probably have no way to get to
her job. Many parts of the country
have countywide transportation
systems, and this area would cer-
tainly benefit from something simi-
lar, there already exists a fleet of
buses which would be available at
least part-time: the county's school
buses.
No matter how industrious they
may be, our heroine and thousands
like her are trapped by the system.
No doubt, there are always excep-
tional individuals in any group,
who rise from the gutter to "the presi-
dency of a major corporation. But,
while commendable in itself, this
has a tendency to reinforce the
wrongheaded notion that "if they
really wanted not to be poor, they
wouldn't be
It's time to face the facts: this area
is economically depressed, through
no fault of the people who are poor,
and it is not getting better. Innova-
tive, creative soluticms" trom the
public and private sectors will be
necessary to solve the problem.
But even this cannot succeed in
the face of continued indifference or
hostility from the people. This area
can be helped, but it won't be helped
as long as people persist in an "I've
got mine, so screw you" attitude.
Conservatism's lost opportunities
ByFRED BARNES
The New Republic
President Reagan likes an off-color joke, but he's
still pretty straight-laced when it comes to sex in
movies. He and Nancy watch a lot of films ? there
are small theaters at both the White House and
Camp David ? but not many with naked bodies and
R-rated sex scenes. Reagan believes the old directors
handled sex better, mainly by leaving it to the imagi-
nation. One of his favorite scenes occurred in a
movie by Ernst Lubitsch. Seems a couple had gotten
married, gone on their honeymoon, and arrived at a
hotel for their first night together. In Lubitsch's fi il
scene at ilie hotel, a female hand reaches out &tm
behind the door and hargs a "DO NOT DISTURB"
sign on the knob. This is sexy stuff, tastefully done,
according to Reagan.
How do I know he feels this way? Reagan told
me, and that's why I'm passing it along. In the
Reagan years, 1 had two private, off-the-record
meetings with the man himself. Well, scmiprivate
anyway. The first was in September 1984. Along
with a half-dozen other journalists, I asked Reagan
questions for an hour late one afternoon over coffee
in the White House's basement library. For the sec-
ond, soi retime in 1986,1 moved upstairs for a lunch
with Reagan, Donald Regan, and radio broadcaster
Paul Harvey. On each occasion, Reagan was
extraordinarily genial and warm, but he didn't say
anything that expanded my knowledge of his presi-
dency. AT1 I remember is that both times he com-
plained r.bout unveiled sex in current movies and
told the lubitsch story. Each time it produced smiles
all around. Later I noticed he'd used the same s.ory
in an on-the-record magazine interview.
Reagan had things too easy. He knew he could
get away with repeating an old story, and that's
often what he did. In a pinch, he could save the day
with a wingding speech, such as his moving words
at Bitburg, or perhaps just a planned quip, like the
one about Walter Mondale's "youth and inexperi-
ence As president, Reagan was breathtakingly
glib. And he relied so much on mere glibness that it
kept him from working hard and taking risks. Still,
his presidency was successful. Six-plus years of
economic growth is nothing to sneer at, deficit or no
deficit, and only on Reagan's watch and because of
his actions did the Soviet empire begin to contract.
But his presidency would have been a lot more
successful had Reagan not been so lazy ? he said
he'd been assured hard work wasn't fatal, but why
take a chance? ? and risk-averse.
What if Reagan had concerned himself with
personnel? I don't mean he should have fussed over
every political job in the administration, all 6,000 or
so. But what about treasury secretary and White
HDuse hief of staff? Reagan swallowed without a
momer i's reflection the job swap that sent James
leaker t: Treasury and Regan to the White House.
I" ?gan lacked the political skills to be an effective
chief of staff, which might have occurred to Reagan
if he'd taken the time to think about it. Regan also let
the president take the one big risk of his second term,
the arms sale to Iran, and it was a dumb one. Baker
wouldn't have allowed it. Reagan didn't pay much
attention to his national security advisers either.
Had he, he'd have noticed that Bud McFarlane was
cracking under the pressure and that John Poindex-
ter, a fellow who blithely lied to the press about the
Grenada invasion, was singularly unsuited for the
post. Reagan couldn't be bothered.
A little boning-up on issues would have spared
him considerable embarrassment in public. Reading
a bookortwoa month might have helped, though I'll
admit the recent example of two politicians who are
avid readers, Jimmy Carter and Gary Hart, isn't
encouraging. With a better grasp of issues, Reagan
wouldn't have had to slink back to the Oval Office
like a wounded duck after each nationally televised
press conference, what few there were, obodv
expected him to rattle off the proposed amendments
to the Clean Air Act, but getting the gist of issues
right would have helped. At one session with report-
ers early in his administra ion, he couldn't explain
why his chosen basing mode for the MX missile had
been selected. He turned to Cap Weinberger, his
defense secretary, for that. This was bad. Half the
reporters present could have given the correct expla-
nation. Given his sketchy knowledge of many is-
sues, it was small wonder that reporters took Reagan
literally when he said that missiles from marines
could becalled back. He meant the subs could be, but
the press was poised to find flubs and wasn't about
to givp him the benefit of the doubt.
Having said all that, I don't begrudge Reagan a
good story. If his stories have a point, let's hear them.
Reagan specializes nowadays in Soviet stories, ones
the Soviet people supposedly tell each other. My
favorite is about the argument between an American
and a Russian over whose country has the most
democracy. The American says his country does, of
course. The people rule, after all. Why, he boasts, I go
to Washington, enter the White House, walk into the
Oval Office, march right up to the president's desk
and say, "President Reagan is doing a lousy job To
the American's surprise, the Russian wasn't taken
aback by this. Oh, we have that much democracy in
the Soviet Union, he insisted. Why, I can go to
Moscow, enter the Kremlin, walk into the general
secretary's office, march right up to his desk and say,
"President Reagan is doing a lousy job
?
Case closed: North faces real charges
By WALTER DELLINGER
The New Republic
"If s time to recognize that the case against Ollic
North and others in the Iran-contra affair has been
political from the start says The Wall S'reet Journal.
Conservative columnists such as George Will, Pat-
rick Buchanan, Robert Novak and James J. Kilpatrick
agree. They seem to think that the upcoming trial of
Lt. Col. North represents "the criminalization of a
policy dispute" between Congress and the presi-
dent.
A careful reading of the indictment leaves one
amazed that so many people could get the story so
wrong. United States vs. North is an embezzlement
case. The grand jury, acting on evidence assembled
by Lawrence Walsh, a distinguished Republican
attorney and former president of the American Bar
Association, alleges that North violated eight sepa-
rate criminal statues. Central among them is Section
641 of the U.S. criminal code, which makes it a felony
punishable by 10 years' imprisonment for any per-
son knowingly and willfully to "embezzle, steal, or
convert to his use or the use of another" any money
belonging to the United States.
The money in question is surely the greatest
amount ever alleged to have been embezzled from
the United States in a single criminal conspiracy. The
prosecuter charges that over $30 million was ob-
tained from the saleof arms to Iran, and that less than
half of that found its wav into the U.S. Treasury-
Most of the $30 million went into secret Swiss
bank accounts controlled by North and co-defen-
dant Richard Secord. As far as the indictment's
embezzlement count is concerned, it doesn't matter
whether the money went from there to the contras,
or to Secord and Albert Hakim, or for that matter to
the United Way or Mother Teresa. Since the money
did not belong to the defendants, they were not free
to use it for anything other than the authorized Ira-
nian arms sale.
So questions about the diversion funds to the
contras, and about whether North, Secord and oth-
ers personally profited from the arms sale are irrele-
vant to the central charges against the defendants.
That is not to say that questions of personal
corruption won't come up at the trial. One count
charges that Secord and Hakim set up a secret Swiss
account of $200,000 intended to encourage North to
stay on the National Security Council staff so that
Hakim and Secord "would continue to receive
opportunities for substantial revenues and profits in
connection with lucrative activities referred to them
by North and facilitated by himinhisoffical capacity
Another count charges that North converted to
his own personal use "at least" $4,300 of traveler's
checks from contra leader Adolfo Calevo.
The gTand jury has also charged North with
making "false, fraudulent and fictitious" statements
to the U.S. attorney general in the course of an offical
inquiry, and with "concealing, removing, mutilat-
ing, obliterating, falsifying and destroying official
documents According to the indictment, there was
also deception of the CIA. and the Defense Depart-
ment well before the inquiry began. The indictment
states, for example:
In early 1986, the defendants Oliver L. North
and Richard V. Secord agreed to retain for the Enter-
prise a substantial part of the $10 million (Iranian)
payment for the first shipment of TOW missiles by
having the defendant Secord transmit to the United
States through the CIA substantially less than was
paid for those missiles on behalf of the Iranians. In
furtherance of this plan, the defendant North told n
official of the CIA that a price of $6,000 per TOW
missile was too high and should be reduced, without
reveali' uiat the Iranian representative had al-
ready offered to pay $10,000 per missile.
When all was said and done, the U.S. govern-
ment received only $3,469 for each missile in that
particular sale; North's "Enterprise" skimmed off $6
million of the $10 million.
The Boland amendment makes only a cameo
appearance in the extensive indictment ? in one
paragraph of one of the 23 counts. The paragraph
charges a conspiracy to conduct a "secret war" in a
way "calculated to defeat legal restriction governing
the conduct of military and covert action activities
and congressional control of appropriations, and to
conceal these activities from legitimate congres-
sional oversight
Here and only here does it matter whether Ol-
iver North diverted money to the contras. And
nowl.ere has Walsh or the grand jury even remotely
suggested that mere "policy disagreements" with
Congress are criminal. In fact, in a recent brief Walsh
stated that he "has explicitly refrained from assert-
ing even that open defiance of enacted congressional
restrictions on foreign military ventures would be
criminal
The heart of the prosecution's case in United
States vs. North is this: Weapons and other proper-
ties belonging to the United States, and paid for by its
taxpayers, were told to foreigners, and much of the
proceeds were fraudulently, deceitfully and secretly
set aside in private bank accounts, rather than being
given to the government.
Since the beginning of the republic, federal
criminal law has prohibited government officials
from secretly directing government funds to them-
selves or to enterprises of their choosing. Such stat-
utes protect both against private corruption and
against perversion of fundamental principle set out
in Article I of the Constitution: "No Money shall be
drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
Appropriations made by Law
The Iran-contra affair undoubtedly raises im-
portant issues of foreign policy. But the prosecution :
itself is focused principally on alleged acts that are .
and always have been criminal. A nd unless the Iran-
contra committee and the grand jury ha ve gotten the
elementary facts of the case wrong, these charges are
Koing to be tough to beat.

Leaders from government, education, business seek to weave partnership
Continued from page 1
they're looking for work, today
Well, 1 haw bad news for
Johnny Clendenin said. "He
probably won't find that work at
BellSouth or anv of those other
corporations - as much as we want
them and as much .is we
desparately need them
"Even though our nation
spends185 billion annually on
education, we're turning out a
crop of functional illiterates said
Clendenin. "Business spends 30$
billion on remedial training plus
180$ billion more for on the-job-
training
Still, the figures go up on illit-
eracy, on drop outs, and on de-
spair. "Sweat and good hands
aren't enough any more said
Clendenin. "Workers qualified to
fill the 20 million new information
age jobs that this nation will create
before the century turns are be-
coming so scarce that it's scarv
Each year one million stu
dents drop out of school. Odds
show that a young person either
goes to school or he goes to jail.
The cost of incarceration costs the
nation more than education said
Clendenin.
"Collectively, these unem-
ployed or underemployed young
people pack an enormous
punch said Clendenin. "It's a
social knock-out. The less school
you take, the less money you
make
"Our nation is losing ground
and losing it fast in the world
economic race said Clendenin.
'We're losing it to a significant
degree because of Johnny. We
need not only an educated
workforce, but an educable
workforce
"lor students stepping out of
high school into the world fo high
tech it's like stepping onto a
moving sidewalksaid Clen-
denin. "You have to be prepared
for the jolt
"It really hurts when our
education system fails someone
said Clendenin. "It's tragic for the
individual who has feelings, fam-
ily, and a future. At the economic
level it hurts our collective wallet.
It's a massive maelstrom of
money swirling down and away
and draining out of sight
The detriment of education
failure is most disturbing at the
social level said Clendenin, be-
cause "It threatens to pulvarize
our nation and to tear apart our
society's wholecloth
"There is reason for hope and
there are signs of progresssaid
Clendenin. "But the pace of our
progress in the face of our prob-
lem is like charting the universe as
it expands
"There's no single party to
blame for our educational prob-
lems because the truth is the
stresses of the poverty cycle, and
all its attendant hemmorhages-
drug abuse, teenage pregnancies,
medical neglect, unemployment,
poor housing, adult illiteracy, and
so on, have a tragic and obvious
impact on our schools and they
are not equipped to resolve
them said Clendenin.
Clendenin challenged the 200
business, education, and govern-
ment leaders present to work
together to find practical solu-
tions in a spirit of cooperation and
partnership.
Following Clendenin's key-
note address Schechtly delivered
the main address in which he
defined the changing roles and
perceptions of public education
and its significance for our society
in the next "knowledge-work"
century. Schlechty called for the
restructure and improvement of
our education system.
'The purpose of school is to
get kids to do schoolwork said
Schlechtly And schoolwork is
knowledge work. The 21st cen-
tury is a knowledge-work cen-
tury
"School has always been the
business of knowledge work, but
there haven't always been jobs
which required knowledge
work
Schlechty said. "For a long
time we didn't need any more
than a 15 or 20 percent graduation
rate. The low-skill and no skill
jobs that existed in the 40's are
now high-tech
In the past school was viewed
much like any industry that
manufactured products and chil-
dren were considered the prod-
uct, Schlechty said. Teachers were
assembly line technicians and
principals were supervisors.
Schlechty compared teaching
to medicine and law in that teach-
ers became service delivery pro-
fessionals. Curriculum became
description, and principals were
ikened to hospital administrators
who took care of the bureaucratic
aspect of educaiton- "busses,
budgets, and butts
"The trouble is that you're
always thinking about teachers
like assembly line workers Sch-
lechty said, quoting a BellSouth
Corporation manager. "You need
to start thinking about them like
executives
"Teachers are leaders be-
cause the job of teachers is to get
somebody else to do something,
Schlechty said. "The principal's
job is to lead people who are
themselves leaders
"The product of school is not
children Schlechty said. "The
product of school is work. Work
for children who are our custom-
ers for knowledge work. Our job
is to invent knowledge work
"School is not simply about
meeting the needs of kids Sch-
lechty said. "School is also about
meeting the needs of society. It's
not just the child's right to read
that we must be concerned about
- it's a child's duty to read in a
democratic society
"School is not simply about
children Schlechty said. "School
is about the future of society. We
don't just give kids schoolwork
that they can do. We give kids
schoolwork which they can do
and from which they can learn
those things that are socially valu-
able
"It's not that in the good old
davs it was much better, " Sch-
lechtysaid. "It'sthegoodolddays
that didn't have to be as good
"What we have to do is to
invent a school system and a way
of putting together schools that
create a very different kind of
result Schlechty said. "And that
result is a product called
schoolwork which kids are suc-
cessful at and from which they
will learn
"We're going to have to have
a system that insists on some pat-
tern of participatory leadership
Schlechty said. "We're going to
have to make room for the people
who are being asked to lead
"We're going to have to in-
vest a lot more in human resource
development than we've ever
invested Schlechty said. "We
can't expect the individual to foot
the bill for training and develop-
ment
"We need to develop a more
sophisticated way of thinking
about the results said Schlechty.
"We can't think about school re-
form in the short term. We must
think in the long term combined
with short term action The crea-
tive partnership and cooperation
between education and business
is the way to boost our society into
the 21st century Schlechty said.

Study reveals 'many faces of
poverty calls for change
Continued from page 1
said. In addition, 40 percent of the
poor North Carolinians have less
than an eighth grade education.
To deter the increase in these
statistics, Coble, who led the edu-
cation portion of the study, called
for educators to leam how to re-
late with economically deprived
children in efforts to keep them in
school. Once tolerable because of
a wealth in unskilled jobs, the
high dropout rate of public school
students has become a concern
because of the growing need for
skilled labor.
"The good news is industry is
moving into eastern North Caro-
lina and with it they are bringing
jobs and opportunity, but the bad
news is the industries are first of
all interested in people trained in
certain skills said Deborah
Ryals, Eligibility Director of Pitt
County Department of Social
Services.
Coble advocated a support of
public pre-school, child-care pro-
gram for parents in poverty as
part of education's solution to the
problem. State legislators in
Raleigh are presently debating
the issue of public pre-schools.
On Thursday, other aspects
oi the report will be examined.

Faculty receive grant
ECU New Bureau
Two ECU faculty members
have received a grant of $9,200 to
investigate potential positive ef-
fects of a special curriculum and
support services for pregnant
adolescents in the public school
system.
Dr. Cynthia Nixon, assistant
professor in Special Education,
School of Education, and Dr.
Vickie Causby, assistant profes-
sor in Social Work, with the assis-
tance of one full-time and one
part-time graduate student, will
seek to prove that such assistance
improves not only the quality of
child care but also school atten-
dance, grades and self-esteem for
teen mothers.
Funding for the research proj-
ect, under a grant administered
by North Carolina State Univer-
sity, was made available by the
Board of Governors of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina system.
The grant subsidizes school-
based research designed to facili-
tate collaborate research on sig-
nificant problems in public school
classroom instruction and to pro-
mote cooperation between uni-
versity and public school person-
nel in developing supportive cur-
riculums to alleviate these prob-
lems.
Drs. Nixon and Causby will
conduct their investigation in the
Pitt County school system during
January through June, 1989. Ac-
cording to Nixon, Pitt County
schools have a "strong need for
supportive programs" for
adolescent mothers, in 1983 in Pitt
County there were 215 live births
from girls 19 and under, she said.
Three years later, in 1986, this fig-
ure increased to 430 pregnancies
among girls 15-19 years of age.
Approximately 70 percent of
school drop-outs in a given year
are related to pregnancy or child
care needs, and 85 percent of these
pregnant teens fall in the poverty
range, she said.
Nixon and Causby will begin
their research by targeting three
research groups. The first group
of 10 mothers will be selected
through the local Project Parent-
ing Program.
The Project Parenting pro-
gram, conducted at Agnes Fui-
lilove Alternative Community
School in Greenville, provides 15-
20 adolescent mothers with spe-
cialized training in child care both
at home and in school. The school
curriculum includes training to
enhance parenting skills ? teach-
ing effective interaction between
mother and child at feeding and
play time to foster the child's de-
velopment and meet the child's
emotional needs.
Day care for the children at
the school is provided. Part of the
day the mothers spend learning
techniques for working with the
children.
A full time social worker
makes two home visits per month
to reinforce learning done at the
school. Home visits are very
structured, providing informa-
tion about pregnancy and pedia-
tric needs of the child, promoting
the mother's self-esteem, coordi-
nating additional services the
mother may need, and working
with the mother to provide a suit-
able environment for the child's
development.
Research groups two and
three, each containing 10 mothers,
will be selected from the Pitt
County public school system,
upon approval by the schools and
participants involved. Group two
will receive home visits only, with
no in-school training. Group three
will receive no support services at
home or in school.
Selection of all participants
will be based on socio-economic
backgrounds, number of family
members and amount of environ-
mental support, with these crite-
ria balanced among all three
groups. The participants must be
between the ages of 10-19, must be
pregnant or have a child no older
than 9 months. The child must be
their first.
The research project has three
goals. The researchers expect the
first group to show increased at-
tendance, maintenance or im-
provement in grade point
average, and improved self-es-
teem at the end of the research
period.
With permission of the par-
ticipants, schools will provide
statistics on grades and atten-
dance. Self-esteem will be judged
with a checklist, the Hudson In-
dex of Self-Esteem, to be done at
the beginning and repeated at the
end of the study.

Alcohol defeats medication
ECU Newt Bureau
Persons suffering from hy-
pertension may be defeating the
benefits of taking daily anti-hy-
pertensive medication if they also
drink alcohol, an ECU School of
Medicine pharmacologist be-
lieves.
For the next five years. Dr. A-
R.A. Abdel Rahman, assistant
professor of pharmacology, will
investigate how alcohol may re-
duce or even eliminate benefits of
lowered blood pressure gained
from patients' daily regimen of
drugs commonly prescribed for
treatment of hypertension.
The National Institute of Al-
cohol Abuse and Alcoholism has
awarded Rahman a $349,712
grant to support his research. The
agency is a constitutent of the
National Institutes of Health, the
chief biomedical research unit of
the federal government.
"A strong link has been estab-
lished between alcohol intake and
inadequate blood pressure con-
trol in hypertensive patients
Rahman said.
"Surprisingly, this problem
has gained little attention though
it involves a large proportion of
treated hypertensive patients
When patients on drug ther-
apy are unsuccessful in control-
ling their hypertension, Rahman
said, it is often assumed that they
are failing to take their medica-
tion.
He hopes to substantiate that
these patients actually take their
medication as recommended, but
habits such as drinking may ad-
versely affect the medication's
ability to control high blood pres-
sure.
The research will specifically
focus on alcohol's effects on drugs
like clonidine, which are nor-
mally prescribed for treatment of
hypertension.
Rahman will also attempt to
determine whether the adverse
effect of alcohol is related only to
clonidine or occurs in other cate-
gories of medication used for
hypertension treatment.
A faculty member in the ECU
Department of Pharmacology
since 1985, Rahman has special
research interest in hypertension
and the drugs used for its treat-
ment.
Medical cost soar while insurance
companies dictate hospitalization
ECU News Bureau
With medical costs at an all-
time high and insurance compa-
nies dictating the length of hospi-
tal stays, an ECU nursing profes-
sor is developing and testing new
procedures for cost-effective
medica care at home.
"More and more people are
being treated in their homes
rather than in hospitals said Dr.
Mohammed A. Ahad, a professor
in the School of Nursing. The rea-
sons for this, he said, are the high
costs associated with medical care
and the limits that insurance carri-
ers, including Medicare, have
placed on the length of time al-
lowed for a hospital stay.
As a result, he said people are
being discharged early from hos-
pital care and must recover from
their illnesses at home. In addi-
tion, about 80 percent of the eld-
erly population reside in their
homes to be looked after by
members of their family and
friends.
"Traditionally, visiting
nurses have provided the re-
source for home health care said
Ahad. But he said nurses are in
short supply and costs for indi-
vidual nursing care are high.
Ahad would like to see a pro-
gram in the U.S. similar to the
home health program in England.
In that country the sick and eld-
erly commonly reside at home
under the care of trained "car-
egivers" ? usually members of
the family or friends.
Ahad said the nurse's role in
this system would be to assess the
J
care needed by the patient and
serve as a supervisor for the care
given the patient. The nurse
would also train family members
to operate medical equipment
and to handle other skilled duties
that nurses more often perform.
In an effort to develop proce-
dures for such a program Ahad
spent last summer in Seattle,
Wash studying an innovative
home care program in that city.
His research, sponsored bv the
Gerontological Society of Amer-
ica, looked closely at the needs of
home care patients. Ahad listed
the most common medical prob-
lems and developed a procedure
for nurses in evaluating needs of
home patients.
The procedure, an instru-
ment for classifying home care
patients, will help nurses decide
how much time to allow for each
patient and to determine if family
members can be trained to handle
some of the work usually done by
nurses.
The procedure is being used
in Seattle and Ahad has conferred
with administrators of the Visit-
ing Nursing Association of New
York to discuss further testing of
the procedures in that state. He
hopes to have the procedure
tested in five regions.
Ahad presented details of his
research and plans for further
study to the Gerontological Soci-
ety of America in November at its
annual meeting in San Francisco.

Construction still ongoing
By STEPHANIE FOLSOM
Staff Writer
Construction is an ongoing
process on ECU's campus and,
according to recent updates, the
Sports Medicine Physical Educa-
tion Complex, Emm Hall, and
the addition to Mendenhall Stu-
dent Center continue to lag be-
hind schedule.
Hie Sports Medicine Complex
is now projected to be substan-
tially completed by July 1, 1989.
Robert Webb, the director of
physical plant and architectural
.Manning, said a substantial
completion means that at that
date it will be possible to start
occupying the building in
phases. The building will not be
completely ready until Fall ses-
sion 1989.
The contractors for the three-
story, 82,000 square foot com-
v were given a time extension
due to the type of construction,
according to Webb. Webb said,
"Building with concrete is a slow
process and that problems oc-
curred because of complications
not apparent in the beginning of
construction.
Rod Compton, Director of
Sports Medicine, said in an inter-
view last June that "the facility
will house the perfect marriage
between academics and ath-
letes The combination of the
new complex and an expansion
of the sports medicine program
will allow ECU to offer a masters
degree in sports medicine.
Erwin Hall, home oi continu-
ing education, university col-
lege, and army ROTC, is about
three weeks behind schedule
with its renovations. New foun-
dations are being installed be-
cause of a problem in which the
buildine, was literally sinking.
Webb said the structural engi-
neer felt like the problem was
caused by a drop in the water
table due to draught and the
particular type of soil Erwin was
built on.
The original completion date
was Feb. 24, but new projections
state that the new foundations,
brick repair work, and possible
internal repairs won't be fin-
ished until mid-March.
Mendenhall Student Center's
three-level addition, which will
include a 400-seat cafeteria, new
offices, a large banquet room,
and a special events room, was
scheduled to be completed by
the beginning of this spring
semester.
Rudolph Alexander, the assis-
tant vice chancellor of student
life, said the new completion
date is now set for mid-March.
He said the facilities will not be
available to students until sum-
mer school, since completion is
so late in the semester.

ECU doctor receives research grant
ECU Newt Bureau
An endocrinologist at the
ECU School of Medicine has re-
ceived a $79,500 gTant from the
American Cancer Society to de-
termine if a plant-derived com-
pound can be modified for use as
an alternative to current treat-
ments for leukemia.
Dr. D. Kirk Ways, assistant
professor in the Department of
Medicine and principal investiga-
Roper awarded
scholarship
tor for the research project, will
initially seek to further under-
stand the effects of the compound,
phorbol ester, on human cancer
cells.
The compound is derived
from the seeds of a Southeast
Asian tropical tree known as cro-
ton. The seeds produce a yel-
lowish-brown violently purga-
tive oil.
Through his investigation, he
hopes to determine if the com-
pound or another one with simi-
lar properties can be developed
and used to treat leukemia pa-
tients. Used in its current state,
phorbol ester is highly toxic.
"Preliminary studies show
that phorbol ester stops leukemic
cell growth and turns them into
normal white blood cells said
Ways. "Current drugs used to
treat the disease kill cancerous
leukemia cells rather than stop
their growth
Leukemia is characterized by
uncontrolled growth of white
blood cells that do not perform
their normal functions such as
fighting off infections.
"If such a therapy can be pro-
duced using the compound or an-
other like it, we could possibly
provide an alternative treatment
for leukemia which potentially
reduces side effects seen in cur-
rently used treatments said
Ways.
Ways' grant, known as the
Junior Faculty Research Award, is
given to investigators beginning
careers in cancer research.

Roper. He is a graduate of Wash-
ington County Union School and
Elizabeth City State University
and holds a master's degree from
N.C. Central University.
He is currently enrolled in
ECU's Ed.S. degree program.
Before joining the Pines Ele-
mentary staff, Purington taught

SGA funds
Ambassadors
BV BEN SELBY
Staff Writer
The ECU Student Govern-
ment Association (SGA) appro-
priated $2800 dollars for the ECU
Ambassadors' registration fee for
a district meeting being held at the
University of Southern Florida
during the last week in February.
It is important for us (ECU) to
have a good showing in Florida so
that we can "show face" and
gather information that will be
useful for the national meeting
that ECU is hosting in the Fall,
said Phillip Winter, spokesman
for the Ambassadors.
Winter said that the money
would be used only for registra-
tion fees and individuals would
pay for food, transportation, and
lodging.
ECU is expectmg between
800 to 900 people to attend a na-
tional conference being held in the
Fall. It will be the largest gather-
ing of any group that has met in
Greenville to date.
In other business, the SGA
discussed a condom machine
resolution which was passed by
the legi slature last year but vetoed
by Chancellor Eakin.
"Last semester the condom
resolution was passed, and the
last I heard was that it was in the
hands of the Student Residence
Association president said Lee
Toler, Chairman of the Student
Welfare Committee. "There
hasn't been alot of action taken
since then
"Recently, Appalachain
State's chancellor authorized the
installation of condom machines
in residence halls there said
Toler.
It is my understanding that
Chancellor Eakin has refused to
authorize the condom machines
because it may promote a bad
image of ECU, said Marty Helms,
SGA speaker. "It promotes sex, as
opposed to abstinance Helms
said.
"We're telling people that this
is a very serious problem said
Helms. "And we're willing to take
drastic measures to prevent AIDS
and other sexually transmitted
diseases. If your're not willing to
abstain, please protect yourself "

'Tequila' doesn't rise
By CHIP CARTER
Who named thi movie?
"Tequila Sunrise" sounds
good. But it brings up all sorts of
connotations to the average
viewer. The drink itself has pretty
colors, but it invariably leads to
contusion headaches and a gen-
eral feeling ot wretchedness.
And tlr.s Mel Gibson-Kurt
Russell-Michelle Pfeiffer extrava-
ganza looks good, and does blur
together like ice in a blender. It
doesn't induce nausea, but it does
leaveyou with a feelingof, "Did 1
miss something?
The premise ot the movie ?
high school friends grow up. be-
come cop and drug dealer and
eventually fight is not bad.
Hard to believe Aussie Gibson
growing up in 1 os Angeles, but
tor the sake ol convenience, we'll
let it go. Gibson's accent is
stronger here than it has been in
any of his movies since "Mad
Max though.
But once you've got the basic
plot down, the movie starts spin
ning out oi control. Pfeiffer of
course gets torn between the two,
and there's some money chang-
ing hands somewhere, but after
that, 1 lost it.
Gibson is supposedly not
running drugs anymore. But
when his friend the mvsterious
Garlos arrives back in town, ev-
eryone expects one last deal. It's
never clear if the deal actually
goes down, and it's not at all clear
if drugs were involved.
Russell whoops it up as a
happy-go-lucky detective. Be-
tween him, Gibson in "Lethal
Weapon" and Emilio Estevez in
"Stakeout I'm surprised that
everyone 1 know hasn't run out
and signed up for detective
school. Looks like a fun job.
Pfeiffer sulks a lot. She's a
restaurant owner who never
gets involved with her customers.
Then, in the space of what may
have been two days or two weeks
(time is not a constant in this film)
she ends up sleeping with two of
them.
She always suspects she's
getting used, and 1 think she is.
But I'd be hard pressed to tell you
bv whom.
There's nothing in this movie
that really stands out. If it were a
hangover, it would be a Wednes-
day morning, three beers and a
shot last night hangover.
While it's not a bad movie, it's
not very good either. But with
"Lethal Weapon 11" in produc-
tion, a possible sequel to "Witches
Of Eastwick" under considera-
tion, is there any possibility Hol-
1 wood will leave this mediocre
film alone when they pull out the
list of sequels that haven't made
yet?
Wrong. Now drink.

Art book reveals a gap

Bv MICAH HARRIS
stiff Wntcr
She is a swan-like beauty of
large eyes and an acre oi rippling
hair. Whether she is a sorceress or
cloistered maiden, madonna or
whore, her posturing defines the
boundaries oi poetry.
She is the Pre-Raphaelite
Woman, rendered and defined by
a Victorian brotherhood of artists
including lohn Everett Millais,
William Holman Hunt, and
Dante Gabriel Rosetti. They
painted and sketched the often
contradictory feminine ideals that
contemporary poets Keats and
Tennvson delineated in verse.
Jan Marsh's "Pre-Raphaelite
Women: Images of Femininity" is
a beautiful art book examining the
work of those 19th Century art-
ists. Marsh, an authority on the
Pre-Raphaelite circle and author
oi "The Pre-Raphaelite Sister-
hood has constructed the tevt in
the form oi anecdotes and per-
sonal notes of the artists and their
models. This format makes the
text less exhaustive and provides
insight into the artists and their
creative vision.
It is interesting to discover,
for example, that the women the
brotherhood chose for models did
not correspond to the Victorian
concept of beauty. Rather, the
artists chose women who sug-
gested a highly personal ideal.
This difference between their
esoteric concept of female beauty
and the public's generic version
was perfect for such subject mat-
ter as holy virgins and sorcer-
esses. The angels they painted
were recognizably feminine, but
decidedly distant, even other-
worldly.
The book shows how this ar-
tistic gap colored the painters'
visions. It compares Rosetti's
portrait of his wife Elizabeth Sid-
dal with her self-portrait. His glo-
rified version radiates glamour
while she depicts herself as se-
vere, almost like an old maid.
As Marsh's notes reveal, the
painters learned the hard way
that the romanticized chivalry
thev depicted on canvas didn't
often translate well into the real
world. Hunt rescued model An-
nie M iller from a slum. He tried to
civilize her, and Miller repaid him
by turning down his marriage
proposal.
Yet, Marsh's text does not
undermine the painting's gor-
geous, romantic imagery. Rather,
the copy adds a bittersweet foot-
note to the story of the works col-
lected here and of the artists who
created them.

Student faces danger during African trip
ft I Ncwfl Bureau
Malaria is just one of a dozen
dangers facing lames Tisdale of
ECU.
There are also wild elephants,
poisonous reptiles, and narrow
winding trails along mountain
ridges and through dark jungles
awaiting this 18-year-old fresh-
man.
Tisdale has been selected as a
participant for an Operation
Raleigh expedition to Africa. For
the young Fayetteville native, the
trip could be the adventure of a
lifetime.
During a three-month period
beginning in January, he and
other adventurers will roam the
jungles and mountains oi
Cameroon. There thev will study
the birds, animals and insects that
thrive in the lush rainforest. Thev
will also study soil and vegetation
on Mt. Cameroon, which peaks at
13,000 feet.
Thev will construct trails
J
through the Korup National Park
near the country's border with
Nigeria and will build play-
grounds for kids in some of the
native villages.
Tisdale will also be involved
in a special scientific study for the
Department of Biology at ECU. It
includes collecting and identify-
ing mosquitoes that may carry a
relatively rare parasitic fungus.
The collection may someday lead
to better methods of biologically
controlling these pesky and
sometimes dangerous insects.
The adventure for Tisdale
will also include mountain climb-
ing, jungle patrols and rafting
through mangrove swamps.
Operation Raleigh is the
brainchild of Prince Charles of
Britain, who established the four-
year project in 1984. It has already
drawn 4,000 participants, ages 17
to 24, from more than 30 nations.
About 1,000 Americans ha ve been
a part of the 40 world wide expedi-
tions. The expedition to
Cameroon next spring is among
the last.
Tisdale said the idea for the
adventure caught his imagination
four years ago when he saw a
television commercial about
Operation Raleigh. At the time he
was 14 years old and an active Boy
Scout working on his Eagle
award, the highest in scouting.
But at 14 he was three years
away from being old enough to
apply for the then new program
that promised adventure in many
parts of the world.
When Tisdale enrolled at
ECU this fall he noticed an adver-
tisement in a newspaper involv-
ing young people to explore tropi-
cal rain forests and discover Afri-
can wildlife. With his interest
rekindled, he applied. A test of
his physical abilities followed
before he was finally accepted.
But there was still much to be
done.
Students selected for the pro-
gram are required to raise their
own funding. For Tisdale, the fee
was $5,500. Raising that amount
would be considered part of the
learning experiences associated
with the Operation Raleigh proj-
ect.
Tisdale was energetic in his
fund raising appeals. He raised
part of the cash by asking busi-
nesses to donate money for every
mile canoed upstream in the Cape
Fear River. It was sort of a canoe-
a-thon, organized by Tisdale, to
raise money for himself and for
other Operation Raleigh partici-
pants from the southern states
who participated with him in
the event.
His church contributed
monev to his trip. ECU awarded
him a' $2,000 Thomas W. Rivers
Foreign Exchange Scholarship.
An anonymous donor and a $500
grant from the ECU biology de-
partment provided the rest of the
money.
Tisdale is scheduled to arrive
at the project base camp at Buea,
Cameroon, on Jan. 2. There, the
party of 33 will undergo three
days of junglefitness training.

Dinosaur show not just for kids
NEW YORK (AP) - Dino-
saurs are a kiddie rage these days.
Thereare dinosaur toys, books, T-
shirts, games, party favors.
'The Great Dinosaur Hunt
tonight on PBS' "The Infinite
Voyage" and next week in syndi-
cation, is not a kids' show, though
some dinosaur-crazy youngsters
might find it interesting.
This fascinating documen-
tary is taken up not with childish
fantasies but more adult consid-
erations, such as the history of
dinosaur study and present-day
scientific methods that have pro-
duced remarkable new theories
about the ex-critters.
The new theories, rather than
drying out the subject, give new
life to the dinosaurs of childhood
imagination. According to vari-
ous scientists, the vast array of
dinosaur species were active
hunters, aggressive fighters, nur-
turing mothers, sociable herd
members, scavengers and sophis-
ticated communicators.
Nature's special effects
they are called, by museum cura-
tor Robert Bakker, a Harvard
Ph.D. scientist and author of "The
Dinosaur Heresies whose
waist-length hair and a beard
smbolize his maverick ideas.
Rikker believes that, contrary to
! ng-held popular and scientific
belief, dinosaurs were not stupid,
.1 -blooded reptiles, but a
unique, warm-blooded, active
animal.
Bakker supported his theory
by studying dinosaur tracks dis-
covered in a riverbed near Glen
Rose, Texas. By comparing the
estimated height of the animal's
leg with the distance between the
tracks, Bakker concluded that it
traveled at a brisk 8 mph or so,
faster than a pack of wolves, not at
the sluggish speed of a cold-
blooded reptile lazily foraging for
food.
'Their world was not one of
the cold-blooded shuffle, but of
the hot-blooded cruise he says.
Phillip Currie studied myste-
' rious "bone beds" in Alberta,
Canada, and developed the the-
ory that they were the remains of
members of a dinosaur herd who
died trying to ford a river en
masse, as herding animals still
sometimes do today. Later, an-
other species of dinosaur fed on
the remains ? Currie found bite
marks on the bones ? and added
more fossils to the bone beds.
Paleontologist Jack Homer's
study of dinosaur eggs revealed
that some species emerged fully
developed and ready to run off in
search of food, while others
needed lengthy nurturing in the
nest. They later became predator
and prey.
David Weishampcl studied
the unexplained hollow crest that
topped the heads of some dino-
saur species and concluded that it
provided an amplification tunnel
between vocal box and snout.
By reconstructing the crest
with plastic tubing, he produced a
low-frequency bellow that the
animals probably used more than
70 million years ago to communi-
cate with each other. A low-fre-
quency noise, not unlike the bel-
low of an elephant, would have
carried a long distance, but been
difficult for a predator, such as
Tyrannosaurus Rex, to locate.
Bakker believes that rather
than dying out completely, dino-
saurs were the predecessors of
today's 8,400 species of birds. By
studying a species of dinosaur
closely related to "T. Rex as he
affectionately calls the mega-liz-
ard, Bakker concluded that the
structural similarities between
dinosaurs and modern birds
made them obvious relatives.
"So when you look at your
canary, you're seeing a bit of T
Rex Bakker says.
The demise of the dinosaurs
remains a mystery. They could
have died of a widespread virus,
or they might have been the vic-
tims of a sudden cataclysm, such
as a collision between Earth and a
giant meteor.
Griffith shines in 'Working Girl'
(API ? What Melanie Grif-
fith does in Working Girl" to get
ahead in the business world
would get her fired from any fi-
nancial house in New York. So
why do audiences cheer for her
masterful connivings?
Because Griffith's Tess
McGill is the most endearing
movie character in years. With her
wide, innocent eyes and shy, lispy
voice, she conceals a quicksilver
mind that outraces the executives
who treat her like a servant with a
note pad.
Tess is a three-time loser, as
she is reminded by her employ-
ment counselor (Olympia
Dukakis in a pre-Oscar bit). But
Tess manages to land another job,
joining a bullpen of anonymous
secretaries. Her boss is the
smarmy Katharine Parker (Sig-
uornev Weaver), who professes to
be democratic but steals Tess'
ideas and demeans her as much as
the male superiors.
By careful reading of the gos-
sip and financial columns, Tess
divines that a money-nch con-
glomerate might be ripe to buy a
radio chain. Her boss dismisses
the notion, then goes off on a ski
vacation and breaks her leg. Tess
usurps the boss' office and ward-
robe and sets her plan in motion,
enlisting the help of an ambitious
broker, Harrison Ford.
Kevin Wade has fashioned a
screenplay filled with crisp dia-
logue, witty observation and de-
lightful surprises. So what if all of
Tess' plans, as well as her per-
sonal life, turn out beautifully?
"Working Girl" is a story that
demands a happy ending.
The proceedings are given a
sophisticated polish by Mike
Nichols, at the tor of his directo-
rial skill. Adding to the happy
blend is a lilting score by Carly
Simon, who cmplovs a handful of
old standards.
Melanie Griffith occupies the
screen throughout, and the fasci-
nation never fades. She emerges
as a major star.

During the project the partici-

community service vviil be em-
phasized.
In a studv for the biology
department, Tisdale will look for
mosquitoes whose larvae have
attracted a type of fungus that if
produced in a laboratory could be
used for the biological control of
mosquitoes.
"We'll be collecting the lar-
vae, screening them on sitc and
hopefully finding those with the
fungus and sending them back
(dead) to East Carolina said Tis-
dale.
The research was recom-
mended by Dr. Charles E. Bland,
professor and chairman of the
ECU Department of Biology.
Bland has written extensively
about African species of a larva
parasite called Coelomomyces.
He plans to use the samples from
Cameroon in his studies.
Band explained that the lifes-
pan of the mosquito infected by
the fungi is greatly reduced. He
said efforts have been underway
for several years to mass-produce
the parasites to control mosqui-
toes. The parasites would be used
to infect mosquitoes in areas
where the insects are a health risk.
Africa is among the areas of
the world where mosquitoes are
at their worst. Many species of the
insect carry the dreaded disease
malaria.
While Tisdale and the other
participants will be usingmedica-
tinns to help keep themselves free
from malaria infection, the odds
of the ge'ting the disease are still
very high. A person with the dis-
ease suffers from recurring chills
and fever.

attitude, but I've accepted the
possibility that 1 may come home

Piper retired from the ring
two years ago and turned actor at
a moment when Hollywood was
newly receptive to wrestlers.

Sajak psychs for show
LOS ANGELES (AP) Game
show host Pat Sajak is starting a
new late-night talk show on CBS
this week, but he's not bragging
that he's taking on Johnny Carson
head-on.
Neither Sajak nor CBS want to
oversell the show the way the
syndicated "Thicke of the Night"
was trumpeted in 1983.
"We don't want that kind of
pre-show hype because there's no
way you can live up to it Sajak
says. "We want people to know
we're coming but we don't want
to build up expectations
Sajak says his exposure as
host of "Wheel of Fortune will
help because, "People know me.
That's half the battle
Sajak has quit the daytime
version of "Wheel of Fortune" on
NBC, but will continue as host of
the nighttime show, the highest-
rated show in svndication.
'The Pat Sajak Show" made
its debut on CBS on Monday,
putting the network back into the
talk show business for the first
time since it canceled Mcrv Grif-
fin in 1972. It was Griffin, who as
producer of "Wheel of Fortune
lifted Sajak, a former TV weather-
man, out of obscurity.
It looks like a renewal of the
old talk show wars, when Griffin
on CBS and Dick Cavett on ABC,
plus David Frost and Mike

Douglas in syndication, took on
Carson. Now, besides Sajak, Joan
Rivers and Arsenio Hall are join-
ing the frav with new syndicated
talk shows.
But this time each show is
looking to find its own niche and
audience. Taking on Carson
head-on. or even appearing to as
'Thicke of the Night" and oan
Rivers did, is an invitation of dis-
aster.
"We have great respect tor
ohnny, but we don't plan our
show around him Sajak says I
think CBS has realistic expecta-
tions. They don't think we have to
knock someone off to he a success.
Actually, Johnny's been very gra-
cious to me. 1 le once asked me to
be a guest host
Sajak will find himself com
peting not only against Carson
but against the first half of NBC's
"Late Night with David letter
man His new show will Iv 90
minutes, while Carson has long
since had his show cut to an hour
"When you get going you want to
be there as much as you can
Sajak says.
Once Sajak got the go-ahead
from CBS one of the first things he
did was talk to others who had
attempted talk shows and failed.
'The one thing we kept hear-
ing was that too many chiefs, too
many vice presidents, too many
executive producers were run-
ning around giving orders he
says. "Everybody had ide"as and
the host was forced to squeeze
them all in
"So, we're going to keep it
simple. There's just myself and
the producer, Paul Gilbert. We
basically make the decisions. CBS
has had the courage of its convic-
t Ions. Too often going on TV is like
a marriage. You marry someone
because you love them, then
pond the next five years trying to
change them. I am very wary of
network inference
Sajak cautions viewers
against expecting anything radi-
cal . I le will not be different just for
the sake o( being different.
"You make it different by
bringing your own personality to
it he says. "It's The Pat Sajak
Show That's the only talent I
have, being Pat Sajak. The reason
so few people have succeeded in
this is that thev feel they should
always be in the spotlight and get
all the laughs. You have to step
aside and let your guests shine.

Smokers being banned
(AP) - For the employers of
the Marlboro Man and the vast
majority of Americans who found
comfort and contemplation in
smoke rings, the warnings had
been clear, and the formal an-
nouncement of 1964 came as no
big surprise.
Twenty-five years ago next
Wednesday, after 14 months of
studying 8,000 scientific reports,
Surgeon General Luther Terry's
blue-ribbon panel announced
that smoking was bad and "a
health hazard of sufficient impor-
tance in the United States to war-
rant appropriate remedial ac-
tion
Statistically linked to lung
cancer, heart disease, stroke and
various malignancies of the throat
and mouth, smoking was called
health enemy number one.
Remedial action began
benignly enough: warnings on
cigarette packs that reminded the
fatalistic smoker that he could be
killing himself.
But in the ensuing years it has
become a new kind of uncivil war
which smokers see as a bullying
campaign against individual
rights and many non-smokers see
as a crusade in which their health
and well-being is at stake, not to
mention their own carpets and
coffee tables which in years past
were vulnerable to falling ash and
embers.
Back in 1964, at an accelerat-
ing yearly pace, more than 70
million adult Americans in a
population of 192 million smoked
more than 523 billion cigarettes,
7.1 billion cigars and used more
than 150 million pounds of to-
bacco in other forms, a pipeful, a
chaw or a dip of snuff.
These davs, after two and a
half decades of warnings and
repressions, some 55 to 60 million
Americans smoke out of a popu-
lation of some 220 million. They
smoke 575 billion cigarettes a
vear, some 4 billion of various
types of cigars and cigarillos, and
they use a little less than 150 mil-
lion pounds of tobacco in other
forms. t
They smoke less per capita
today, but spend a lot more for it.
Most hotels and airports charge
nearlv $2 a pack, and the price
would make a World War II
smoker (18 cents a pack) choke
before he took a drag.
In 1964, smokers spent $8 bil-
lion on the ugly habit, some $3.3
billion of which went to federal,
state and local governments as
taxes. Today they spend $35.5 bil-
lion on tobacco, and almost $10
billion is collected as tax.
All of this in the face of a na-
tionwide campaign that has
banned smoking in many federal
buildings, work places, restau-
rants, airplanes, trains and rest
rooms. In terms of regulation and
educational programs, the scale is
unprecedented, save for prohibi-
tion, and the stated aims by health
authorites more ambitious than
any attempt to persuade people to
change such an ingrained habit.
Three years ago, Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop an-
nounced that he expects a smoke-
free society by the year 2000.
"This is not a prohibitive soci-
ety he said. "We're not going to
tell people they can't smoke. We
learned that we can't tell people
they can't drink
Thev can, however, devise
tactics to isolate and then elimi-
nate the habit.
Smelling victory, the surgeon
general put on a smile and sug-
gested that outdoor smoking be
mandated in the spring "and by
the time cold weather comes, it
will be well ingrained in their
habits and they won't come in to
smoke
Backed by "the whole grass-
roots movement of militant non-
smokers he said:
"I think the person that
smokes in 1995 is going to smoke
alone or with other smokers. That
might be in his bathroom or his
back yard or in a segregated area.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it
out of doors
Even now, the smoker can
sense his growing isolation.
Smokers have felt the elbow
in their backs at their local, for-
merly friendly bars and were
asked to move the ashtray. This is
something like asking the altar
boy to douse the incense in
church.
The federal government finds
itself on the horns of a dilemma. It
actually controls the growing of
tobacco by allotting acreage to
180,000 farms in 23 states and
Puerto Rico. This stabilizes pro-
duction and insures price levels.
The Commodity Credit Corp.
lends farmers money against the
value of their crops, the loans
being repaid as the tobacco is sold.
For many farms, tobacco is the
one stable factor in an other.vise
unpredictable market. Consider:
Wheat last year yielded $96
an acre. Soybeans yielded $183,
cotton $459, peanuts $632, feed
corn $202 and sweet com $724.
Tobacco yielded $3,206 per acre.
For many states it is a prime
cash crop. North Carolina reaped
$738 million last year, Kentucky
$514 million, South Carolina $151
million and so on down the line to
West Virginia which reaped $4
million.
The tobacco industry em-
ploys almost 57,000 people who
feed the product to just short of a
million retail outlets that include
almost 619,000 vending ma-
chines.

New head coach chosen
?
.
?
14
By CHRIS SIEGEL
Assistant Sports Editor
As 1 88 drew to an end, so did
an era in Pirate football Art Baker
stepped down as the head coach
of East Carolina and has since
taken a position with University
ot South Carolina as Associate
Athletic Director. But as a year
ends, so another begins. And to
-tart the year off, ECU named its
Ir-th head coach. Bill Lewis.
Lewis has spent the past eight
seasons as the defensive coordi-
natorsecondary coach for the
Bulldogs of Georgia. He became
the defensive coordinator at
Georgia when Erik Russell left to
become the head coach at Georgia
Southern.
We welcome a person of Bill
Lewis' abilities and character to
Fast Carolina to lead out football
program into its next plateau
said Athletic Director Dave Hart,
Ir. 'He emerged from a group oi
outstanding candidates and we
look forward to what the future
holds for the ECU program under
Bill Lewis' leadership
Prior to going to Georgia,
Lewis spent coaching stints at
such schools as Arkansas, Geor-
gia Tech. Wake Forest and Pitts-
burgh. At all four of those schools,
Lewis was in charge of defensive
backs.
After leaving Arkansas, he
became the head coach of the
Wvominf! Cowbovs In his three
Head Coach Bill Lewis
seasons at Wyoming, Lewis lead
the Cowboys to a 13-21-1 mark.
Lewis was disappointed with bis
results there, but feels that the
experience will be very valuable
as he embarks on his new position
at ECU.
During his tenure at Georgia,
the Bulldogs have attended nine
bowl games, including this years'
victory in the Gator Bowl over
Michigan State. Also during this
time, 23 players coached bv I ewis
were named to the All-South Fast
Conference teams. Seven of those
players were also named to the
Ail-American team.
Lewis attended East
Stroudsburg State College in PA
where he received a degree in
health and physical education.
Lewis played quarterback at
school and was named to the
Little All-American team.
After graduation, he spent
two seasons playing professional
baseball in the Detroit Tigers'
organization.
Lewis brings with him a total
of 25 years of coaching experi-
ence, all of which are at the college
level. He has also coached under
two of the top college coaches in
the game. He served under for-
mer Georgia coach Vince Dooley
and also coached for Frank
Broyles at the University of Ar-
kansas.
Lewis is a native of Philadel-
phia, PA. He is married and has
three sons. His oldest son, Mark
was the long snapper on this
year's Bulldog team.
The 47-year-old Lewis brings
with him the youth and determi-
nation a sagging Pirate program
needs. His intense attitude to-
wards football and his get-after-it
style of coaching shou Id lead to an
exciting season in 1989 for ECU.
Bill Lewis, now head coach at East Carolina, had previously been the
defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia (Photo by Sports

Pirates scalp the Tribe
By MARK BARBER
Sports Writer
Theodore "Blue" Edwards slam dunks one in for two points against
Texas Christian on Friday, Dec. 30. Edwards scored a career best of 38
points against the Retrievers that night and had nine rebounds. He is
the leading scorer for ECU averaging 26 points per game. Blue also is
fifth in the league in field goal shooting and is ninth in rebounds and
assists (Photo by ECU Photo Lab).
Fans on the way to William &
Mary Saturday night had to en-
dure foggy, bleak weather to
make it to see the Tribe of Wiliam
& Mary take on the East Carolina
Pirates. Once inside, the fans
watched as ECU fought off their '
one sluggish play to outdistance
the Tribe, 75-59, in the first confer-
ence game of the year for the Pi-
rates.
The Pirates relied upon the
strong play of senior forward Blue
Edwards, named player-of-the-
week last week in the Colonial
Athletic Association, who scored
31 points, 18 of which came in the
second half.
While the winning margin
was an impressive 16 points, the
game was a much closer contest
than the final score indicated.
ECU head coach Mike Steele
praised the Pirates for thier ability
to leave with the victory. "It defi-
nitely was not a pretty win, but it
was a win Steele said. "I'm
proud of our guys because they
showed a lot of poise to win this
close game
ECU took a 39-27 lead into the
half time, but the Tribe fough'
back hard to retake the lead, 51 -50,
on an 18 foot jumper by guard
Jimmy Apple. Blue Edwards
countered at the other end for the
Pirates with an eight-foot jump
shot off a screen by Kevin Stapels
and ECU was on top, 52-51.
Apple then scored again for
the Tribe, this time on a 3-point
goal, putting William & Mary
ahead, 54-52. That would be the
last time the Tribe would lead in
the contest, as ECU reeled off
eight straight points to lead 60-54.
From there, William & Mary
could only score five more points
as ECU scored their last 16.
The win improves the Pirate
record to 7-5 on the year overall, 1 -
0 in the C AA, and it is the first win
since ECU returned back from the
holiday break. The Pirates played
fdur games over the holidays. -

sippi State, ECU won VwO Mbrrfe
games, first over the University of
Maryland-Baltimore County, 97-
78, and second over Texas Chris-
tian University, 80-74. ECU then
lost on the road against nation-
ally-ranked Georgia Tech, 92-69.
The William & Mary win is a
big boost fo the Pirates who now
have 10 straight conference
games ahead. "This was an im-
portant win for us Steele said.
"William & Mary is a hard place to
shoot and they are a well-coached
team, so this gives us a lot of con-
fidence, winning on the road like
this
"We've been playing well,
and I was afraid the loss at Geor-
gia Tech might have had a bad
effect on our guys, but they
bounced back and won here,
which is something that we were
unable to do last year
William & Mary jumped
ahead of the Pirates early on in the
game, gaining a 9-2 edge four
minutes into the contest. Edwards
then took control for the Pirates
scoring ECU'S next six points,
bringing the Pirates to within
four, 12-8.
ECU continued to rally, get-
ting three 3-point goals, two from
Reed Lose and one from Ed-
wards, and took the lead for the
first time at 21-20 on a baseline
jumper by Staples. From there,
ECU outscored the Tribe 18-4 to
take a 39-24 advantage.
Kenny Murphy scored eight
during the run as ECU's balanced
attack made the going rough for
William & Mary. "It's just tough
to defend everyone Tribe coach
Charles Swensen said. "We tried
-to Atop-Edwards-inside, and-ther.
Ldse and Murphy started hitting
from the outside. They got us into
an up-tempo game, which isn't
good for us
William & Mary made an ef-
fort to get the ball inside in the
second half, and ECU only scored
10 points in the first 12 minutes of
the period, as the Tribe closed in
on the Pirates. Behind an eight-
point effort from forward Ben
Blocker and six from Apple, the
Tribe had its lead back with seven
minutes to go. The Pirate offense
then got in gear with Edwardr
hitting for 10, Jeff Kelly making
kev free throws and ECU's de-
fense picking up its pace to pull
out the win.
According to Steele, the dif-
ference came when the Pirates
began working the ball more ef-
fectively. "We had been coming
down the court, making one pass
and putting up the shot, but then,
the guys started making three or
four passes and finding better
shots, and it started working
Steele said.
As has been the case all sea-
son, the main force behind the
Pirate attack was senior forward
Edwards, who at times was triple-
teamed during the game, but to no
avail for he Tribe. Edwards shot

Lewis looks toward
future in football
By KRISTEN HALBERG
Sports Editor
New Head Coach Bill Lewis
may have his hands full trying to
rebuild a wounded East Carolina
football program. But, the ever-
so-optimistic Lewis sees taking
on the new head coach position as
a challenge he plans on succeed-
ing.
In an interview Friday after-
noon, Lewis explained that there
are three elements which need to
be considered in order to have a
successful Pirate football organi-
zation. These elements center
around the upcoming schedule,
recruiting of new players and
hard work of both the players and
the staff.
The first consideration, the
schedule, has been taunted by
many ECU fans who feel that the
schedule has been exceedingly
difficult and thus unfair. But
Lewis did not agree. He explained
that in order for a university to get
recognized, it must compete
against the best teams.
"I feel that the schedule is a
definite plus to our football team
and this football program Lewis
said. "I f we have dreams and aspi-
rations of this program moving
among the best in college football,
you're going to have to play
against some of the better teams to
do that or you'll never be recog-
nized
Lewis stressed that a football
team's recognition will be based
on not only its winning record,
but also the intensity of its sched-
ule. Although Lewis in no way
belives that it will be easy to reach
that plateau of recognition, he
does believe the schedule is fair

it has been in the past.
"The schedule we have now
is a much more sensible sched-

gives us an opportunity to be
competitive
Another element to a success-
ful football program is heavy re-
cruiting by the staff. According to
the official announcement made
Dec. 5 by Athletic Director Dave
Hart, Lewis was originally hired
over the other candidates because
he was considered one of the pre-
mier recruiters. Lewis said in the
official announcement that the
new recruits "will form the base of
foundations of this program.
They will play the biggest part in
our success
"I want to appeal to every
high school coach and player
Lewis stressed. "I will recruit
head to head with energy
Lewis explained that quality
recruiting is essential in order to
reach the ultimate goal of Lewis'
program. "Our goal is to produce
a winning football team with the
integrity it needs Lewis said.

Pirates end non-conference play - look forward to action in CAA's
By CHRIS SIEGEL
Auisiint Sports Editor
: )h
As most of us were home en-
loying our holiday vacation, the
Fist Carolina men's basketball
team was busy wrapping up the
non-conference portion of their
schedule. Mike Steele and the
Pirates played a total of eight
games over break going 4-4 and
giving them an overall record of 7-
5.
Blue Edwards lead the way
for the Pirates over the holiday
break. Edwards scored an
average of almost 29 points per
game and had three games where
he scored more than 30. Edwards
scored a career-high 38 points
against Maryland-Baltimore
County.
Dec. 3 vs. Campbell
After a slow start in the first
half, the Pirates played a solid
second period and came back to
defeat the Camels of Campbell,
86-78. The win moved the Pirates
to 3-1 on the season.
The Pirates shot poorly in the
beginning of the game and
Campbell took advantage of their
height by outrebounding the Pi-
rates. Campbell pounded the ball
inside and took a 38-36 lead into
ha If time.
But, as has been the case in
most of their games this season,
the Pirates came out strong in the
second stanza. Behind the strong
play of senior Blue Edwards, ECU
shot over 60 percent for the half
and outscored the Camels50-34 in
the half and went on to win.
The Pirates were lead by
Edwards who had a game-high 30
points. Kevin Staples added 16
and Kenny Murphy chipped in
with 13.
Campbell was lead by Sand-
ers Jackson who had 17 and Mark
Mocnik added 16 coming off the
bench.
Dec. 7 vs. South Carolina
Next in line for the Pirates
were the top 20 ranked South
Carolina Gamecocks. This time
the results were not as good for
the Pirates, as the Gamecocks
used their height and rebounding
strength to beat ECU, 75-67.
The Pirates hung tough in the
first half and shocked the vocal
home crowd at Carolina Coli-
seum in Columbia. South Caro-
lina held a slim three point lead at
halftime, 42-39.
But a poor shooting second
half by the Pirates would give the
Gamecocks the edge they needed
to hang on and win. ECU shot
only 25.8 percent in the second
half and went scoreless five and a
half minutes towards the end of
the game. South Carolina made
the crucial free throws in the clos-
ing minutes and held on to win
their fifth game of the season and
remain undefeated.
South Carolina was lead by
John Hudson who scored 21.
Terry Dozier and Brent Price each
chipped in 18 for the winning
Gamecocks.
Once again the Pirates were
lead by Blue Edwards who scored
a game high 31 points before foul-
ing out. Kenny Murphy also
added nine points for ECU. The
loss dropped the Pirates to 3-2 on
the season.
Dec. 10 vs. Radford
ECU returned home against
Radford in a game most people
thought would be a fairly easy
win for the Pirates. But that would
not be the case as poor shooting
and 20 turnovers by the Pirates
lead to an 88-75 win for Radford.
The Pirates never seemed to
get on track in this game. Radford
controled the ball in the first half
and stretched their lead to as
much as 17 points before the Pi-
rates could close it to 11 at
halftime.
ECU faired no better in the
second half as Radford took con-
trol quickly and jumped back up
by 16. The Pirates cut the lead to
nine towards the end of the game,
but could get no closer as Radford
coasted to a 13 point decision.
Radford was lead by Phil
Young, who had a game-high 24
points. Ron Shelburne added 20
and Vernon Brooks chipped in
with 17.
The Pirates were lead by Blue
Edwards who had 21 in a losing
effort. Kevin Staples had 18 and
Gus Hill helped out with 14. The
loss moved the Pirates to 3-3 on
the season.
Dec. 15 vs. Winthrop
Once again the Pirates were
on the road. This time they trav-
eled to Rock Hill, SC to face a
tough Winthrop team. ECU pre-
vailed in the hard-fought struggle
75-67 and moved to 4-3 on the
season.
As the game began, there was
a notable absence on the Pirate
sidelines. Sophomore point
guard Jimmy Hinton did not
make the trip and later an-
nounced he was leaving the team
because he was unhappy with his
lack of playing time.
The Pirates struggled
through the first half and trailed
by one at halftime. But they came
out firing in the second period.
Shooting a startling 65.5 percent
in the half, ECU took control and
stretched their lead into double
figures for most of the half.
Winthrop closed at the end of the
game, but it just wasn't enough.
Senior Blue Edwards lead the
Pirates with another fine game.
Edwards scored 29 points and
grabbed nine rebounds. Gus Hill
also had a fine performance, as he
scored 21 points and hauled in six
rebounds.
Greg Washington lead the
way for Winthrop as he scored 30.
Andy McKoy added 11 and
Shaun Wise hit double figues
scoring 10.
Dec. 20 vs. Mississippi State
East Carolina continued their
road stretch traveling to
Starkville, MS to take on Missis-
sippi State. However, this was
one trip the Pirates may wish they
hadn't made as the Bulldogs
jumped on ECU, 88-79.

Lady Pirates fare well
By CAROLYN JUSTICE
Sport Writer
East Carolina's Women's bas-
ketball team will have a full week
of action as they host one game
and then take to the road for their
third conference game of the sea-
son.
Thursday. North Carolina
A&T State comes to town in non-
conference action for the lady
Pirates.
The real test will begin Satur-
day night, as ECU travels to Har-
nsonburg, YA to face reigning
CAA champion, lames Madison.
Over the holidays, ECU
faired well as thev played Puke,
their i ilv AGC opponent of the
year, opened their home season,
traveled to Tennessee, took on
local rival Campbell and opened
their Colonial season with a win.
Against Duke, the lady Pi-
rates were greeted by more than
1,000 Duke Fans. The Lady Blue
Devils, contenders for the ACC
title, were too much for ECU as
thev took a victory as home, u3-0.
The Ladv Pirates, then re-
turned to Greenville to open up
their home season, hosting the
annual Lxidv Tirate Classic. In
first-round play, ECU faced
UNC-Charlotte, who handed
them thir second straight loss of
the season. In the 70-54 loss, the
Ladv Pirates shot their lowest
field goal percentage thus far in
the season as thev move on to the
consolation game of their own
tournament.
In that match up with Niag-
ara College, who had lost earlier
to Virginia Commonwealth, ECU
improved their shooting with
theirbest performance of the vear,
33 percent and went on to earn
third place in the ladv Pirate
Classic with the 86-59 win.
The Lady Tirates took a break
for exams and then went to the
road again This time, ECU would
travel to Tennessee for two
match-ups.
Against Yanderbilt Univer-
sity, ECU scored only one player
in double figures while Vander-
bilt scored three players with
twenty-phis points. Yanderbilt,
defeated FCU 91-56. season, boosted ECU's record to
ECU was back on the right 5-4 and produced a career high for
track for their next game against
Tennessee State, as it rolled to an
88-38 victory. The win ended 1988
piay on a winning note for the
I-adv Pirates as they prepared for
CAA action in 1989.
In the first game of 1989, the
Lady Pirates hosted the Lady
Camels of Campbell on Jan. 5.
ECU controlled the match-up as
Irish Hamilton led the Lady Pi-
rates with 14 points, tying her
career high.
Saturday night began CAA
plav for ECU as William and
Marx came to Greenville. Last
season, ECU tied for sixth place in
the CAA with the Lady Tribe,
who also finished 2-10 in the
CAA The two teams split games
with each team earning a victory
on their home court.
On Saturday, ECU took the
home court victory again, defeat-
ing William and Mary 77-50.
The win, the Lady Pirates'
third consecutive victory of the
freshman forward Tonya Har-
grove. Hargrove, ECU's second
leading scorer against the Tribe,
pumped in 15 points to assist in
the Lady Pirate victory while jun-
ior forward Sarah Gray continued
to lead ECU, scoring 17 points.
Gray, who has led the team in
scoring in seven of nine ECU
games, has continued averaging
17 points a game for ECU and re-
mains among the scoring leaders
in the CAA.
Don't forget to catch the I ady
Pirates in action this week as they
host NC A&TState Thursday, Jan

Swim program nearly flawless (gordon'S
By KRISTEN H ALBERG
Sport Editor
The East Carolina Swimming
and Diving teams are headed to
what may be their greatest season
,n the history oi the university as
they boast nearly (lawless records
going into the new year.
The men's and women's
squads faced the likes of John
Hopkins University and CAA
opponent University of
Richmond over the holidays, and
while these are fairly reputable
swim organizations, they were no
match for the tough Tirate swim-
mers.
The men remain undefeated
as a result of the holiday action
displaying an impressive record
of 7-0 going into the Jan. 14 match-
up against CAA opponent, UNC-
Wilmington.
The women also held strong
during the break as they increase
their winning recor I to 6-1. Their
only loss came fairly early in the
season when they lost in a close
meet against William and Mary
on Nov. 13. The women also swim
against UNC-W in this dual meet
with the men on Jan. 14.
Head Coach Rick Kobe is
nothing short of impressed with
the way his organization is faring
against the competition. "We are
very pleased with where wo st:ind
right now Kobe said We are on
target to have the greatest season
in ECU swimming history
Minges Aquatic Center
played host to Richmond on Dec.
3 and were the first team to fall to
the talented Pirate swimmers.
Both the men and the women had
easy meets with the men display-
ing a final score of 131-107 and the
women stunning the Lady Spi-
ders 127-81.
The Pirates then traveled to
North Palm Beach, Fla. where,
during their Christmas training
trip, they competed against Johns
Hopkins University. Again East
Carolina was handed the victory
when the men defeated Johns
Hopkins 56-39 and the women
stood victorious 55-40.
But the Pirate swimmers have
nothing to look forward to in the
way of easy competition. Besides
the tough UNC-W swim organi-
zation, the Pirates must face the
likes of Duke and the nationally
ranked Tarheels of North Caro-
lina before going into the CAA

mentioned that there were several

A third element for a success-
ful Pirate football organization is,
according to Lewis, hard work. "If
thev want to be successful, they
are going to have to work hard to

As far as defensive strategies
are concerned. Lewis, who used
to be the defensive coordinator at
Georgia, wants to stick to the
"lunkvard Defense" styleof play-
ing where there is an aggressive
defensive team going all out and
hitting hard to prevent the foot-
ball from getting into the end
zone.
Lewis' bicccst concern re-
gardmg the defense and any part
ot the game is that he be ex-
tremely sound as far as funda-
mentals go in all aspects of play.
Moving to the offense, Lewis
plans on concentrating on throw-
ing the possession style passing
game. He wants a two dimen-
sional offense which will have a
balance between the running and
the throwing game. He also plans
on using multiple formations to
force the defense to have to recog-
nize more things happening on
the field.

As far as defensive strategies
are concerned, Lewis, who used
to be the defensive coordinator at
Georgia, wants to stick to the
"Junkyard Defense" style of play-
ing where there is an aggressive
defensive team going all out and
hitting hard to prevent the foot-
ball from getting into the end
zone.
Lewis' biggest concern re-
garding the defense and any part
of the game is that he be ex-
tremely sound as far as funda-
mentals go in all aspects of play.
Moving to the offense, Lewis
plans on concentrating on throw-
ing the possession style passing
game. He wants a two dimen-
sional offense which will have a
balance between the running and
the throwing game. He also plans
on using multiple formations to
force the defense to have to recog-
nize more things happening on
the Beld.

Edwards leads Pirates over break
Continued from page 19
The Pirates were never really
in this game and within the first
five minutes the Bulldogs had
pulled out to a nine point lead.
They continued to pour it on and
stretched their lead to 20 near the
end of the half. The Pirates tried to
tight back and closed the gap to 14
by halftime, 42-28.
The teams traded baskets for
most of the second half. The Pi-
rates were able to close within
five late in the game, but Missis-
sippi State hit some late free
throws to ice the victory.
The Bulldogs were lead by
Chancellor Nichols who had 16.
Reginald Boykin and Cameron
ims each had 15 and Greg Lock-
hart popped in 14.
Blue Edwards was the Pirate
leader on the floor as he scored 28.
Gus Hill had 17 and junior college
transfer Kevin Stapels had 10
points and a game-high 11 re-
bounds.
Dec. 27 vs. Maryland-Balti-
more County
The Pirates returned home to
the friendly confines of Minges
Coliseum after Christmas to take
on the Retrievers of Maryland-
Baltimore County. ECU gave
themselves and the fans a late
Christmas present as they
slammed their way to a decisive
97-78 victory and moved their
season record to 5-4.
Blue Edwards stuffed his
own stocking this holiday season
as he had five dunks on the eve-
ning en route to a career-high 38
points. Edwards dazzled the fans
with his one-handed and reverse
dunks and an occasional tongue-
wagging which made some
people wonder if they were
watching Michael Jordan.
The Pirates never trailed in
the game and scored six of their
first 12 points on dunks. But a dry
spell late in the half allowed the
Retrievers to stay close. The Pi-
rates were up at halftime bv eight,
41-33.
But that would all change in
the second half. ECU would come
out and shoot an amazing 80.8
percent from the field in the sec-
ond half giving the Retrievers no
chance to even get close.
Edwards lead the way for the
Pirates with 38, the sixth best scor-
ing performance in ECU history.
Four other Pirates scored in
double figures as East Carolina
shot 70.4 percent from the field on
the night.
The Retrievers big gun for the
game was Duane Faust who
scored 17. Larrv Simmons added
J
13 and Kenny Reynold s scored 12.
Dec. 30 vs. Texas Christian
In their last game of 1988 and
their last home game for two
weeks, the Pirates posted their
sixth victory of the season. The
Pirates had to hold off a late
Horned Frog rally to do so, but
held on to win, 80-74.
The Pirates pulled away from
the Homed Frogs for most of the
first half. They lead by as much as
12. But Texas Christian limited the
Pirates to just two free throws in
the final three minutes of the half.
ECU was up eight at halftime, 38-
30.
The Pirates pulled out to a 13
point lead in the second half, but
once again the Horned Frogs
mounted a come back. They cut
the lead to four with three min-
utes to play. But a three-pointer
by Gus Hill iced the victory for the
Pirates.
Blue Edwards, held to just
seven points in the first half, lead
the Pirates with a game-high 25
points. Hill also had a fine game
scoring 19 and senior point guard
Jeff Kelly added 8 for ECU.
Craig Sibley had 20 for the
Horned Frogs. John Lewis added
18 and freshman center Reggie
Smith had 12.
Jan. 4 vs. Georgia Tech
East Carolina had the tough
challenge of starting o(i the new
year on the road. In addUion, they
had to face Bobby Crcmins and
the 19th ranked Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets. The Pirates fought
hard, but Tom Hammonds and
m
the Yellow Jackets were too much
for the Pirates. ECU came up short
and lost 92-69.
The Pirates played well the
first half and trailed by only three
with three minutes left in the half.
But the Yellow Jacket and All-
American Hammonds converted
on some quick score and stretched
the lead to 10 by halftime.
The Yellow Jackets slowly
pulled away in the second half
and had a 25 point lead at one
time. Georgia Tech used its size
advantage in the second half with
Hammonds doing much of the
damage. They also used good
perimeter shooting from Brian
Oliver.
Georgia Tech was lead by
Hammonds who had 30. Oliver
added 24 and Dennis Scott
chipped in with 15.
ECU was once again lead by
Blue Edwards who scored 29
points. Edwards shot 3-3 from
three-point range and also col-
lected seven rebounds. It was
Edwards' fifth straight game over
25. Gus Hill also had a fine game
with 22.
The loss dropped the Pirates
to 6-5 entering conference play.
Edwards honored
Blue Edwards has been
named player-of-the-week by the
Colonial Athletic Association for
his playing performance during
the week of Dec. 24 to Dec. 31.
During the week's basketball
action, the Pirates were host to
Maryland-Baltimore County on
Dec. 27 and Texas Christian on
Dec. 30. Edwards scored a career
best of 38 points against the Re-
trievers of Maryland-Baltimore
County and had nine rebounds.
In his bout against Texas
Christian, Edwards had 29 points
and had nine rebounds.
