Roakes wins SGA run-offs
By LOR1 MARTIN
Stilt Writer
President-elect Tripp Roakes
won Wednesday's run-off election
with 57.2 percent of the votes over
opponent, Valeria Lassiter.
Roakes had 991 (57.2 percent)
total votes leaving Lassiter with
741 (42.8 percent). The number of
voters improved over last week's
election with 1 732 students turn-
ing out the cast their ballots.
Roakes won a majority of the
votes at tour oi the six ballot boxes
on campus. The greatest voter
turnout was seen at the poll lo-
cated at the Student Store where
Roakes took 426 (61.2 percent)
votes and Lassiter claimed 270
votes (38.8 percent).
Roakes also won the polls at
Mendcnhall (52 percent), the
Croatan (69.2 percent) and the
Graham building (60 percent).
Lassiter won the polls located at
the bottom of College Hill (55.b
percent) and Cotton Residence
Hall (52 percent).
"I can't wait to get started
Roakes said. His initial concern is
to form a Board of Leaders to
"attack" the problems of unequal
representation in the SGA and
recent concerns about racial ten-
sions.
"I will be in touch with Val-
eria Lassiter and Dr. Larry Smith
(director of minority affairs) be-
fore the end of the week Roakes
said. He said he would like for the
new board to meet at least once
before the end of the semester.
"Before going into office, I
want to familairize myself with
the different groups I will be
working with Roakes said. He
plans to schedule a meeting with
Chancellor Eakin before taking
office on April 18.
Lassiter said she is eager to
co-chair the Board of Directors

Telecommunications link complete, ECU
now part of statewide research hookup
By TIM HAMPTON
News f'ditor
With a Hip of a switch Tues-
day, ECU joined a statewide mi-
crowave communications net-
work established to increase the
sharing of knowledge between
academic research institutions.
ECU Chancellor Richard
Eakin activated the university's
link with the elaborate telecom-
munication computer system
which now allows area research-
ers to confer with colleagues at
Duke, Carolina and Wake Forest
universities.
The hook up with the Micro-
electronics Center of North Caro-
lina (MCNC) was witnessed by
approximately 50 people at the
ECU Medical School s Brody
Building.
Through the use of mounted
cameras and a manned control
room, ECU officials were able to
speak with MCNC officers and a
leading official with the Bowman
Gray School of Medicine in Win-
ston-Salem.
The television svstem will
permit interactive teleclasses,
video seminars and teleconfer-
ences between two or more dis-
tant locations.
For example, graduate nurs-
ing students on another campus
can "attend" a class originating at
ECU. At both sites, the students
seeand hear the instructor and the
instructor in turn will sec and hear
the students via two-way color
television.
Dr. James A. Hallock, medical
school dean, said he is excited
about the opportunities the net-
work presents.
"This technology allows for
transmission of information and
ideas in a highly efficient and ef-
fective manner said Hallock. "I
can see tremendous potential for
exchange among the.universities
and medical schools on the net-
work, and we are delighted to be
active participants
Speaking on the advantages
of the system ability to relay
medical research, Hallock said
"The overall gains will reflect in
future improvements in patient
care
Dr. William E. Laupus, vice
chancellor for health sciences, said
the access to the network will elec-
tronically bridge the state's coast
with its mountains. The computer
communication system is unpar-
alleled "not only in the United
states, but in the entire world

An ECU physics professor has
recently developed a new detec-
tion and imaging system which
produces high-contrast images of
our sun's photosphere ? its per-
ceived optical disk.
The system, developed by Dr.
E. J. Seykora, is called a differen-
tial photometer and allows solar
physicists to draw surface tem-
perature maps of the sun with a
sensitivity of within .2 degrees
Kelvin. The average temperature
of the sun is 6,000 degrees Kelvin.
According to Seykora, tem-
perature variations within the
solar photosphere play an impor-
tant role in energetic phenomena
which occur on the sun. With his
instrument, scientists can investi-
gate the phenomena ? solar con-
vection (large-scale movement of
solar gases), solar flares and sun
spots.
"When there's a small tem-
perature variation on earth be-
tween Farmville and Greenville,
for example, it can cause violent
storms Seykora explained. "It's
the same, in principle, with the
sun
"With this instrument he
said, "we can actually see struc-
tures on the sun which are due to
small temperature variations.
"Solar flares are the most
energetic storms on the sun and
can have an effect on the earth
Sevkora said. "Within one day
northern lights, also called aurora
borealis, occur as a result

Students, faculty ask Adelphi head to quit
(CPS) ? Students and profes-
sors at Adelphi University in New
York have asked their president
to resign.
And as if there was an epi-
demic of troubles at the top, the
University of Maine, Pima Com-
munity College, Sangamon State
(in Illinois) and Georgia State uni-
versities also had presidents,
board members and officials fall
into trouble the last week of March.
At Adelphi, various factions
are trying to force President Peter
Diamandopoulos, who repeatedly
had been censured by students
and faculty members while presi-
dent of Sonoma State University
in California from 1977 to 1983, to
quit.
"There is a great feeling of
turmoil said Ronald Feingold of
Adelphi's Faculty Senate. "There
has been mismanagement of the
university in all different areas.
Each department has its own Dia-
mondpoulos story to tell
Students at many of the
women's colleges around the
country that have gone co-ed dur-
ing the eighties have reacted with
anger and resentment. In recent
years, such protests marked the
conversion of Randolph-Macon
Women's College, Mississippi
University for Women and, in
1988, Whcaton College in Massa-
chusetts.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
APRIL 6,1989
Plastic money goes for grads
(CPS) ? American Express,
known as a company for business
executives and yuppies, unveiled
a plan in mid-March to woo col-
lege undergrads.
With bait like cheap airline
fares and magazine subscriptions,
the huge financial services firm
says it will start trying to tempt
students at the 1,000 biggest cam-
puses in the country to carry its
credit card.
The move is emblematic of a
larger trend, various consumer
advocates say, of students being
able to get credit more easily dur-
ing the last three years.
And rrunv ot the consumer
advocates don't think the credit
loyalties. The credit card compa-
nies make their money by claim-
ing three-to-seven percent of each
purchase made with their cards,
and by charging customers inter-
est on the unpaid interest on their
bills.
As anyone who's had a bro-
chure slipped into bookstore pur-
chases or seen booths set up at
student unions can attest, Ameri-
can Express's ambitious new ef-
fort is onlv the most recent foray
onto campuses for credit card
companies, which until just a few
years ago considered students as
risky and probably incapable of
repaying loans regularly.
For example Bank of Amer-
ica, which ownsa big part of VIS A,

"(Students) arc acquiring
credit at a time when they are
poorly suited to use it wisely
said Mike Heffer of Consumer
Action, a San Francisco lobbying
group, when told of the new
American Express effort.

sity of Houston senior Scot Fox. "I

Of course, there was nothing
magical that happened in 19S6 that
suddenly changed students into
more responsible credit users,
observed University of Florida
J
finance Prof. Arnold Heggestad.
The answer to why credit card
companies abruptly decided they
wanted to start signing up stu-
dents had more to do with demo-
now
the process of paying them off graphics-there are fewer credit-
worthy adults to be wooed these
days ? and the economy, he said.
"If the economy is strong
Heggestad noted, "it's a safe bet
seniors will get jobs when they
But the student market "is the
right place to be now" to sell credit,
said Celine Gallo of American
Express (Amex), adding under-
grads probably will prove a good graduate
source of business for the com-
pany in the future.
"It's important to start early
with people who will be better
earners she said, noting students
"And to be futuristic for a

panies that can put their plastic in

more receptive to change, so they
may be the best group to grow
into
"Their purpose Consumer
Action's Heffer believes, "is to
crca tea population of adults tuned
into the credit world
So Citicorp in New York,
which started asking student to
carry credit cards in the mid-eight-
ies, has issued about 1.5 millon
VISAs to students, a company
spokeswoman reported.
By contrast, "only" some
500,000 students carry American
Express cards now. To catch up to
VISA and Mastercard, "we're
proposing an integrated market-
ing program that includes the
cards, along with benefits and
services tailored to the needs of
students Gallo said.
Students "accepted" by Amex
get a $600 credit limit.
Some students and camus
advisers, however, wonder if it's a
good thing for students.
Thirty-five percent of the stu-
dents who asked University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA)
for extra financal aid from 1986 to
1988 said they need it to repay
credit card debts, UCLA counselor
John Hoyt said.
Iowa State University finan-
cail counselor Ann Swift said she's
seen an increase in the number of
students suffering from high credit
card debts in recent years, and
that some contemplate bank-
ruptcy.
"Only 40 percent of credit card
holders nationally pay their
monthy bill. The other 60 percent
have an average monthly balance
of $1,600" said Swift.
Credit card abue has become
so common that the University of
Southern Maine holds a session
about students and credit cards at
its freshmen orientation. Indiana
University hosts budget planning
workshops in its dorms.
University of Texas students
get a written warning about in-
curring credit card debts when
they pick up their financial aid
applications.
There are victims aplenty.
University of Houston senior Rich-
elle Williams said, "I was always
in the hole. I cut (the cards) up,
and kept jaying on them to get
my financial situation together
The credit card companies, of
course, see their efforts differently.
"We're extending the notion
of fianancial responsibility con-
tended Amex's Betsy Ludlow.
"Students have needs for a finan-
cial instrument just like anyone
Gallo maintained the Amex
cardsgivestudents"lessopportu-
ni ty to overspend " becau se they' re
required to pay off their balances
each month.
"I believe they are good in
emergencies Houston's Fox
agreed.
Sandy Lee, a junior at the
University California at Santa
Barbara, applied for a card "so
that I can start to build a credit
rating
Consumer Action's Heffer
also thought the new credit card
campaigns can help student get
credit while they can.
"As soon as they graduate,
it's harder to obtain a card even if
the person is working Heffer
said.

1 le said the Pigeon River di-
oxin is believed to present no
hazard to swimmers, waders and
or to other forms of skin contact,
including any that occurs while
hatching and releasing fish. When
the fish .amples were taken, pol-
lution levels of the river in Cocke
County were being measured by
the state and EPA in connection
with Tennessee's efforts to force
Champion International Corp. to
clean up discharges from its Can-
ton, N.C mill.
The cot fee-colored discharge
from the mill into the river, the
subject ot vears oi lawsuits, led
i Ned McW nerter last vear to
deny the paper mill the right to
o ntinue to pollute the river in
ke Count v. Tenn. This led EPA
to set a three-year deadline tor the
paper mill to clean up the river or
phase down its operations.
This order called for stringent
controls and monitoring for di-
oxin. Champion, in the meantime,
announced it would close its plant.
The warning issued bv Davis
on Tuesday did not mention
Champion. However, it said "the
most noted sources (of dioxin)
have been bleached kraft pulp and
paper mills
Davis said the warning re-
sulted from a cooperative study
bv the Health Department, the
Tennessee Wildlife Resources
Agency, the Tennessee Valley
Authority and EPA. Davis said
the Health Department, TV A and
TWRA collected additional fish
from two locations in the river last
November.
Thirty-nine fish were ana-
lyzed under contract with Wright
State University in Davton, Ohio.
Dioxinlevelsrangedfrom4.5parts
oi dioxin per thousand parts of

Seventeen fish had levels ex-
ceeding 20 ppt, which prompted
the advisory. Under criteria used,
Da vis said, nursing mothers, preg-
nant women and children younger
than six should avoid fish with
dioxin levels between 5 and 10
ppt.
It levels of dioxin are between
10 and 20 ppt, he said, adults
should limit consumption to half
a pound per month and avoid it
completely for levels exceeding
20 ppt.

Military pollutes Pamlico Sound
RALEIGH (AP) ? More than
400 pounds of radar-foiling de-
bus dropped from jets into the
Pamlico Sound last year is part of
a broader problem of military lit-
ter being dumped in the fragile
waters, the director of the Pamlico
County Health Department said.
James R. Baluss said Tuesday
he had received documentation
from Cherry Point Marine Air
Corps Station, which conducts
flight training over the sound off
Pamlico and Carteret counties,
indicating that 1,175 cartridges
containing 451 pounds of glass
fibers were dropped over Pamlico
County last year. The aluminum-
coated fibers, known as chaff, are
used to confuse enemy radar.
"Chaffisjustoneexampleofa
large variety and volume of stuff
that the military is discharging into
public-trust waters Baluss said
in a telephone interview with The
News and Observer of Raleigh.
His department has been examin-
ing the environmental effects of
military practices in the area in an
effort to predict what might occur
if a proposed Mid-Atlantic Elec-
tronic Warfare Range is approved
there.
Baluss said that while the
amount of chaff that falls into the
water in the form of inch-long,
hair-like fragments was relatively
small, the casings containing the
material also end up in the water
along with the other items
dropped as jets fly over the air
corps' BT-9 and BT-11 bombing
targets, around Piney Island in
the Pamlico Sound. "Is 400-plus
pounds of this stuff going to shut
down the sound?" he asked. "No.
But it's a piece of a larger total
Lynn R. Muchmore, assistant
secretary for administration and
intergovernmental relations for
the state Department of Natural
Resources and Community De-
velopment, said water quality
specialists with the agency had
investigated the chaff and con-
cluded that the amounts being
used were not a threat to the envi-
ronment. However, he said, he
agreed with Baluss that long-term
dumping of military training
devices into the sound could
damage marine life.
Officials are trying to deter-
mine whether such discharges are
allowed under the federal Clean
Water Act, he said. Col. G.T.
Schmidt, director of operations for
Cherry Point, said the military had
addressed in public hearings the
issue of discharges into the water,
including chaff.
"Chaff is extremely fine Col.
Schmidt said. "If you saw it being
dropped from an airplane travel-
ing 400 or 500 miles an hour, you
would probably never find the fi rst
strand again once it was dropped.
It is done quite irregularly. We do
it from time to time
Concerning more permanent
objects, such as bomb casinos and
parachute cords that fall into the
water, Schmidt said, "We've been
using that target at Piney Island
for many, many years. The bombs
that arc dropped in there are basi-
cally iron, and over time, they
would rust away
Toxic dioxin found in Pigeon R.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ?
A new chemical analysis found
enough toxic dioxin to prompt the
State Health Department to warn
against eating fish caught in the
Pigeon River in Cocke County.
The Environmental Protection
Agency has classified dioxin as a
probable cause of cancer in hu-
mans. The warning issued Tues-
day affects fish caught in 26 miles
of the Pigeon River from North
Carolina line to Douglas Lake. Paul
Davis, state water pollution con-
trol director, said fish taken from
Douglas Lake, into which the
Pigeon flows, are considered safe.
EPA began analyzing Pigeon
River fish for dioxin in January
and Februarv of 1988. Davis said
the Health Department warning
was issued "to make citizens
aware that they can avoid a poten-
tial health threat by not eating fish
from the Pigeon River
He said the Pigeon River di-
oxin is believed to present no
hazard to swimmers, waders and
or to other forms of skin contact,
including any that occurs while
hatching and releasing fish. When
the fish samples were taken, pol-
lution levels of the river in Cocke
County were being measured by
the state and EPA in connection
with Tennessee's efforts to force
Champion International Corp. to
clean up discharges from its Can-
ton, N.C mill.
The coffee-colored discharge
from the mill into the river, the
subject of years of lawsuits, led
Gov. Ned McW nerter last year to
deny the paper mill the right to
continue to pollute the river in
Cocke County, Tenn. This led EPA
to set a three-year deadline for the
paper mill to clean up the river or
phase down its operations.
This order called for stringent
controls and monitoring for di-
oxin. Champion, in the meantime,
announced it would close its plant.

on Tuesday did not mention

Roakes
Congratulations are in order for
Tripp Roakes, the SGA's new presi-
dent-elect. After a hard fought cam-
paign and two elections, Roakes
won Wednesday's runoff and will
head the SGA for the 1989-90 school
year.
He has an enormous task ahead
of him. Roakes based his campaign
on three basic issues ? the rein-
statement of the "drunk bus the
revitalization of Firate Walk and the
development oi a student guide to
teacher performance ? and he
must act quickly to make good on
his campaign rhetoric.
In addition, Roakes faces an SGA
beset with apathy and bitter in-
fighting. It will be a crucial part of
his job to see that the legislature gets
off on the right foot next vear and
continues to serve the student inter-
est, not self interest.
There is one more task facing
Roakes, and it may be his toughest
assignment.
Roakes won the election, but his
win cannot be considered a mandate
or a landslide by any stretch of the
imagination. Forty-two percent of
the voting students ? in the election
with the largest voter turnout of any
in recent memory ? voted for Val-
eria Lassiter. That means 42 percent
of the students believe in Lassiter's
platform ?faster financial aid, de-
velopment of new financial aid
sources, a better SGA screenings
procedure and an emphasis on aca-
demic excellence in the classroom
and through public relations.
Roakes now has the job of meet-
ing those students' needs. He must
incorporate at least some of Las-
siter's platform into his own if he
truly wants to represent the entire
student body.
If Roakes really wants to be ac-
cepted by the students, and remem-
bered as a progressive president, he
should also offer Lassiter some posi-
tion of leadership within the SGA,
possibly as the chairperson of his
proposed Board of Leaders. Lassiter
has a lot to contribute to the SGA,
and Roakes would be wist to enlist
her aid in dealing with campus is-
sues next year.
Beautification
The Campus Beautification
Committee finished its report last
April and thus its job was com-
pleted. It' too bad one report won't
make the difference these campus
grounds cry out for.
In the report, suggestions about
projects such as utility services and
memorial structures were made, but
there was never a specific budget to
do anything. Small steps in the way
oi planting flowers and cleaning the
brick buildings are currently being
undertaken as money becomes
available, but this "bit-by-bit" proc-
ess will take much longer than this
growing university should have to
wait. There are other resources to be
tapped into in order to get a large job
done in a shorter amount of time.
Such as
The alumni. Those who call ECU
their alma mater still care about how
it looks. The visual appearance of
our school is important not only to
those of us who are here now, but
also to the graduated of the past and
potential students of the future. The
active alumni who make contribu-
tions would more than likely want
to take a part in making this univer-
sity what it has the capability of
being. Their ideas ought to be hoard
also. Plans Tor projects were made
by the committee which included
representatives from faculty, staff,
students, and alumni, but a few ob-
viously cannot bring about all the
possibilities. Perhaps an alumni
andor student forum could still be
of value through their contributions
and ideas.
The community and campus
groups. Different organizations on
campus and in the community
could also be contacted for their
contributions. If small donations
from many are gathered, whether
they be monetary or items needed
(such as plants and labor) then per-
haps progress would be noticeable
sooner than projected. Again, sug-
gestions should still be laken note ot
and perhaps groups would be will-
ing to work toward one of their own
personal interests in the way of
beautification.

To the editor
1 am black student here at ECU
.11 id i an i . I upsol Why am I upset?
Well on the 31 si f March I was dehu-
manized for 1 was spit up m by hite
students
I i th 31 ' I v c ? iting the art
building ingl iyroomin( larrctt
when a classmato tit mine, who was
standing underneath a second-story
window talking to a group of white
students asked me to come over and
discuss with him seme ideas he had
for our next assignment As wc
talked, I showed him some of my
ideas I had lust recently completed
on a (ompuh r, suddenly it began to
rain. Now I'm quite sure that the
young gentlemen who were in the
second store window were very
aware of our presence below them
for they wert previously speaking to
mv classmate and could ha e clearly
heard our voices several drops of
saliva landed on mi' art work, not to
mention myself I became, as one
would expect, ver angry
Mow my initial reaction was to
go up there and voice my anger to
them hut as I started to enter the
building one namecam to mind that
stopped me: I eddy White. I thought
what if 1 go up there and stand up for
my rights, the same outcome rnr?ba- '
hie would occur. Someone would
undoubtedly be hurt and 1 would be
expelled from campus without any
actions being taken against the truly
guiltv individuals.
So 1 left in anger, choosing to
remain silent, .is the thought of being
dehumanized kept reoccuring. 1
even went up to the second floor to
"discuss" what happened, but as 1
approached the second floor Teddy
White told me not to; not to become
another victim. So 1 left again feeling
even worse.
Then 1 thought, well maybe it
wasn't racially motivated. Maybe
they were just that ignorant and
nasty to spit out of a second-story
window.
But what it it was racially moti-
vated, and even if it wasn't, the over-
all effect oi the "Teddy White Inci-
dent" was made apparent to me as a
black student. I'm not sure if the
administration realizes what mes-
sage they have sent out to the stu-
dent blacl and white, but 1 see it as a
message to the white students that
they can do what they want to a black
student and not worry about any-
thing being done to them.
Why do 1 feel this way? Because
I hesitated to stand up for my rights,
not only mv rights as a black student
but my human rights, 1 believed at
thai moment if I did, I too would be
expelled based on the campuses un-
fair handling of prior events and that
made me very upset, and I'm not
about to throw away my education
for anvonc. For not only myself but
we have come too far. Example, the
incident that occured involving
Teddy White has been labled the
"Teddy White Incident Now we all
know Teddy White didn't have an
"incident" with himself. Why isn't
the name of the other parties men-
tioned?"
I've lived all over this country
and abroad and proudly served in
our armed forces, but never have I
felt so oppresssed as a black citizen
until I arrived here at ECU. Yes, I
understand and know that racism
exists everywhere. I've even condi-
tioned myself to overlook racism as
ignorance and that they just don't
know anv better. But since I've been
here, I've been constantly shown that
racism is in abundance ai4 my atti-
Uictcs oi donrmwrrhitl-rarW now and
forever changed.
Now don't misunderstand what
I'm trying to say or what I'm feeling.
I have met whites who have not dis-
played racism and I have white
friends whose friendship I value, but
enough is enough and something
must be done about it.
So to the administration I urge,
be careful in what you say and do be-
cause wc are listening very intently.
And to Teddy White, words of
strength! You won't be forgotten.
And finally to my fellow black stu-
dents, sta on your path of dreams
and achieve your degree for through
knowledge comes understanding,
and with understanding comes re-
spect, respect as a human.

How to fix the U.S. educational system
By SCOTT MAXWELL
(.iitorial Columnist
As my fellow columnist Russell Baker
once pointed out, ours is a nation in which
every single citizen is an expert on politics,
the economy and education ? or so they
claim. With that caveat in mind, then, I
humbly present my closely interrelated
proposals for fixing the primary and secon-
dary public education system.
Spend more money on the students.
This is a big one. What we don't spend
on a student today, wc usually spend on a
criminal a few years down the road. It's
worth it.
Spend more money on the teachers.
Money should be spent on teachers in
two ways. First, obviously, is to increase
their salaries.
Many of the same persons who rail
against the poor education system are also
against raising teacher salaries. They say
that we shouldn't raise teacher salaries, that
teachers should teach because they love to
teach.
Certainly teachers should teach be-
cause they love to teach. And firefighters
should fight fires because they love to fight
fires, a nd baseba 11 players should play base-
ball because they love to play baseball, and
computer programmers should program
computers because they love to program
computers. But that's irrelevant to salary.
The point is that there arc many who
would be good teachers but don't become
teachers because they can make more
money in another job. It does not follow that
if these same persons became teachers, they
would not be as dedicated as those who are
teachers now.
In fact, they might surpass many ot"
those who are currently teaching. Some
teachers teach because they cannot get a job
in their intended profession in the public
sector. These are not, generally, dedicated
and highly qualified individuals.
Money should lso be spent to improve
teacher training. Most teachers have sum-
mers off; they should be required to spend
part of their summer vacation every few
years in refresher courses designed to keep
them current in their field.
Spend more money on the school buildings
and materials.
A pleasant environment is conducive
to learning. So arc overhead projectors that
work. Toward those ends, parents should
find it in their pockets to do such small
things as planting flowers and repainting
walls. They should also set up community
funds from which schools can draw to
purchase needed teaching aids
More computers should be available,
not only for high school students but also
for students in the lower grades. With the
computers, of course, should go teachers
who know how to usp them.
Where it exists, end corporal pumsnment.
The deliberate association of pain with
learning fails to induce a student to learn.
Rather, it tends to make students more
defiant. It is also often applied unfairly;
minority students are its most frequent
recipients.
Very few p rsons and, therefore
verv few students cannot be dealt with
J
rationally. Corporal punishment should
not be available even as a last resort, since it
can be seen that, when corporal punish-
ment is available as an option, school ad-
ministrators often do little else to try to help
a student solve his problems.
Besides, what is a student to make ot a
society which claims that its children are its
most precious resource (when talking
about drugs) and that it is perfectly all right
for an exasperated principal to beat a child
for disrupting a class?
Start teaching critical thinking.
Regardless of what politicians say, the
political system's biggest problem is voters
who don't think critically. If thev were
faced with a public which was willing and
able to thoroughly, logicallv examine their
positions, politicians would be forced to
improve or give up.
Help students respect themselves.
This means more than teaching them to
"just say 'no in Health 101. It means teach-
ing them to gather information and make
decisionsor themselves Think for yourself.
Just say 'no translates to 'Think for your-
self. Do what we tell you This is not teach-
ing self-reliance; it is thinly disguised
dogma.
Expose students to more culture.
Students should take classes not only in
Western culture, but also in other cultures.
A populace which was reasonably conver-
sant with foreign cultures would not be so
susceptible to the xenophobic justification
of foreign policy that has been prevalent
throughout America's past.
Also, schools should ensure that his-
tory teachers emphasize the importance of
events, their causes and their effects, rather
than simply when they happened. It is true,
as Santayana said, that those who do not
remember the past are condemned to re-
peat it. Condemned, too, are they who
remember but do not understand.
Get students to read.
Forcing a student to read is the best way
to make him hate reading.
It is important to start by allowing stu-
dents to read what they like to read. Pre-
high school students should be required to
read ? not to read some particular book,
just to find something and read it.
They can be "moved up" to the tradi-
tional works (Silas Marner, Hamlet, Wuth-
ering Heights, etc.) later. Even then, it is
important' to teach not just long, tedious
novels but also contemporary work to
which students can better relate ? Camus,
Faulkner, Salinger.
Ignore the censors.
There have been school systems which
have tried to do exactly what 1 just de-
scribed. However, their efforts have been
crushed by outraged citizens who c.nnot
imagine that the schools would be "forcing
children" to read "smutty" books ? like
those written by, say, Camus. Faulkner i
Salinger.
The censorship attempt would b

Prize creativity.
Nearly everything that the school s
terns emphasize is oi the one-nght-answ i
variety. A student's SAT score figures
largely in his future education possibilities
and the SATs depend on a student's picking
the correct answer from the choices avail
able Memorization takes precedence over
actual thinking.
Granted, having only one right answer
to any given problem makes a teacher's lite
easier. But that's simply irrelevant: the
problems that face the country and the
problems that a person faces in life cannot
often be solved simply by memorizing and
then repeating a correct answer.

Education
Continued from page 4
What is important is develop-
ing the ability to solve real-life
problems, and strategics to tackle
new kinds of problems. Simply
having knowledge is not usually
enough to solve a problem: prob-
lem solving requires the creative
application of knowledge. It is a
crucial skill, but students are usu-
ally left to develop it on their own
? if they develop it at all.
The percentage of U.S. pat-
ents granted to U.S. citizens is
declining. This must be at least
partly a result of the school sys-
tem's hostility toward creativity.
Also, a school system that
rewards skills like sitting quietly
and following directions unques-
tioningly produces voung adults
who sit quietly and follow direc-
tions unquestioninglv. This is not
good: America is in desperate need
of persons who aren't afraid to
speak up and who think for them-
selves.
Prize all kinds of intelligence.
Math and science skills are
good. So are artistic and musical
skills. The school system prizes
the former, does all but ignore the
latter, and fails to realize that ar-
tistic thinking must be coupled
with logical thinking to generate
insight. Students must be taught
how to develop all the facets of
their intelligence and how to use
them together.
Treat students like people.
This is perhaps the most im-
portant. Nearly all teachers tiy to
care about their students, but
many simplv cannot care about
them all. Like it or not, teachers
are often forced to treat most of
their class as a mass, which means
that they can't pay as much atten-
tion to the individual students as
he needs.
To solve this requires more
than lowering teacher-to-student
ratios. It requires that teichersbe
encouraged to relate to students
person-to-person, not just teacher-
to-student. Also, the Socratic
method of teaching should be
employed ? teachers should lead
students in a process of inquiry
and discovery.
Mean it.
None of the above measures
will work as long as students are
processed like cattle. The meas-
ures described must be whole-
Letters
heartedly accepted and followed,
or they mean nothing. But if they
are carefully considered and im-
plemented, they could make a
world of difference.
Continued from page 4
Washington was also a
proving ground from public hous-
ing, urban renewal, and rent con-
trol. Today Washington has home-
less lying in the streets, gutters,
doorways and subway entrances
in record numbcis.
Washington long ago out-
lawed the death penalty and
imposed the toughest U.S. gun
laws, yet boasts the highest mur-
der rate in the West. D.C. has the
highest taxes in the area, but the
worst delivery of services; it has
twice as many bureaucrats per
capita as any state, but Mother
Nature has to handle snow re-
moval. Affirmative action and
racial quotas are mandatory, yet
public discourse is poisoned with
constant charges of racism.
Washington boasts NINETY
open-air drug markets. The D.C.
government isat all levels rife with
lethargy, incompetence, and cor-
ruption.
Libleralism, the idea that the
public sector can best improve the
quality of life, has taken a fearful
beating in Washington, the kind
oi beating Marxism has taken in
Poland.

Computer phone program
checks on elderly people
COON RAPIDS, Minn. (AD
? A self-taught computer wizard
is attracting the attention of police
from around the nation and Scot-
land Yard for a computer dialing
program that checks on elderly
people who live alone.
"Good morning the re-
corded message announces. "Arc
you O.K.?"
If the recipient of the call ut-
has blossomed into a full-time
business for Johnson, a former
Armv and National Guard offi-
cer. Only Osage, Charles City,
Iowa, and Sutherlin, Ore are on
line with the system, but inquiries
and purchase orders have been
pouting in from all over.
"We had a call from Scotland
Yard on it said Robert O Keefe,
the onlv other officer in Johnson's
ters a response, the computer as- home-based company, Northland
sumes the answer is yes and moves
on to the next person. If there's no
answer or the telephone is busy,
the computer repeats the call.
But if there's no answer a
second or third time, the computer
sounds an alert to law enforce-
ment officials who dispatch a
squad car to see if anyone is in
danger.
"It's a good deal all the way
through said Clyde Ritter, 73, of
rural Osage, Iowa. 'They say it
saved my life
Ritter had gone into a diabetic
coma one morning in August at
his home five miles northwest of
Osage. The town's "Are You
O.K.?" computer at police head-
quarters alerted authorities that
Ritter failed to answer a second
call, and a deputy sheriff was sent
to the home.
He found Ritter comatose and
summoned an ambulance. "I
guess 1 credit the system for sav-
ing at least one life said Osage
Police Officer Michael DeKruif.
"We've had tremendous success
with it
Besides Ritter7s rescue, the
system has alerted Osage police to
an elderly man whose hands were
caught in a window ? trapping
him inside his own home ? and
to three elderly people who had
fallen in their homes and needed
police to help them. "I haven't
seen anything like it said Retha
Jefferson, a police department
desk officer in Belhaven,N.C "It's
just that officers respond to calls
all the time of neighbors not see-
ing their neighbors for two or three
davs and then it's too late
Jefferson, who manually calls
about 45 elderly people each day
to check on them, said Belhaven is
raising $7,000 to buy a system.
The 41-year-old Johnson said he
developed the program about a
year ago for Osage "more or less
as a public service" while he was
living in nearby Austin, Minn
Johnson had video stores in Austin
and Osage and was considered a
computer guru by friends.
Members of the police depart-
ment had heard of a computer
dialing system in Carthage, Mo
and they wanted Johnson to im-
prove on it. "I foolishly told the
city, 'Til write it for you Johnson
said. "It took me 14 months

Madonna reviewed
By CHIP CARTER
Madonna now has four al-
bums to her credit, numerous 12-
inch remix singles, an Lp of re-
mixed singles, three movies and
more videos in heavy rotation than
she can shake her navel at. Her
newest album, "Like a Prayer
follows the trend she established
with her previous release, "True
Plue Combining personal state-
ments, political realities and pop
fluff into a fifty-minute compact
disc, she has come up with an al-
bum that rivals her first one in in-
tensity and danceability.
Her self-titled debut back in
1983 (has it been that long?) was
nothing more than a resurgence of
synthesized disco butdisco with
a freshness and power that
stunned the music industry and
the public. Disco died, but Ma-
donna lifted it Lazarus-like fiom
the grave and rechristened it
"dance pop
She followed that success with
the highly commercial but criti-
callv disappointing album, "Like
a Virgin Its prefabricated songs
and emptv lyrics could have killed
her career, if it hadn't been for her
strong public persona and vari-
ous other projects she dabbled in.
The next release, "True Blue
was shipped out after her media-
scrutinized wedding to Sean Penn
and after considerable delays. She
did record three times during the
hiatus, all three tracks for motion
pictures. For "Yisionquest she
wrote the ballad "Crazy for You"
and "Into the Groove" came from
her movie debut, "Desperately
Seeking Susan
"Groove" was arguably the
best dance song she'd done to date.
She followed this with "Live to
Tell a haunting ballad crafted
tor her husband's film, "At Close
Range This song appeared on
'True Blue" as well.
These in-between projects
suggested that Madonna shone
brightest when not trying to fulfill
a 10-song-per-album quota. In-
deed, her first release was com-
posed almost entirely of singles
she had previously released.
"Like a Pravcr" suffers from
the same sort of punch-the-clock
mentality, but also breaks free in
several places to reestablish Ma-
donna as a pop artist in league
with Prince and John Cougar
Melleneamp. The title song is not
very controversial in itself, but the
accompanying video has caused a
huge stir.
Madonna plays an innocent
bystander who sees a girl brutally
attacked by a gang. A black man
who tries to help the girl is ar-
rested and before going to the
police, Madonna finds refuge in a
church where she dreams about
having the stigmata and kissing
the feet of a statue of a black saint
above the altar. The saint looks
suspiciously like the wrongly-ac-
cused bL. k man, and when he
comes to life, it becomes apparent
they are the same.
Catholics and other fanatical
groups have tried to ban the video
without trying to understand the
implications oi the video ? that
not getting involved is more dan-
gerous than breaking a few ta-
boos.
Ironically enough, the song
breaks no new ground for Ma-
donna, taboo or otherwise. It's the
same old groove, but pleasant
enough, especially the back-up
singers and the choir during the
chorus. The intersplicingof church
music with the body of the song is
no new trick in the world oi pop ?
ACDC and many other heavy
metal bands have done it foryears.
The strongest tracks on "Like
a Prayer" are the ones where Ma-
donna explicates her personal life
into universal experiences. Til
Death Do Us Part" is obviously
about her break up with Penn. It

contains startlinglv frank situ-
ations and language. Nothing
dirtv, but whenever the word
"bruise" is used in connection with
Penn, it's usually not a joke.
"Oh Father" and "Promise to
Try" deal with Madonna's rela-
tionships with her parents. "Fa-
ther" is almost too sugary with its
violins and happy memories, but
the song succeedsanyway. "Prom-
ise" is much stronger. Madonna is
not Bruce Springsteen, who is ba-
sically the short stoi y writer of the
pop scene. I lis songs overflow
with fully realized charactersand
situations.
Neither is Madonna a poet
like Stevie Nicks. Madonna's
strength lies in her non-fictional
accounts of her own life. "Prom-
ise" relays the image oi Madonna
as a child, trying to say good-bye
to her dying mother. It is a power-
ful image and one that never dete-
riorates into sentimentality.
"Cherish" isthrowaway pop.
For some reason. Madonna felt
the need to tip tl e hat to the old
Association song, Cherish
which was a silly tune io begin
with.
Perhaps the best surprise on
the album is theduet between Ma-
donna and Prince, "Love Song
The collaboration iii mega stars is
a tricky thing. Some turn into ego
exercises, as with Michael Jackson
and Paul McCartney; others be-
come true masterpieces, ,)s

Bonehead confesses secret
By CHIPPY BONEHEAD
Staff 1 unuo.lt
"It's like a dream
No end and no
beginning
Who will admit to liking the
new Madonna single?
Much like last year'sGeorge
Michael tune, "One More Try
a surprising amount oi people
with taste secretly like the song.
But their ethics, good sense and
fear of humiliation keep the
from admitting it.
So, when the radio begins
playing it, as those first few bars
of organ music stream out from
the speakers, you panic. You
hope that whoever driving
doesn't think to change the chan-
nel, even though you automati-
cally responded to the song by
saying, "God. Not more Ma-
donna
Meanwhile, they may casu-
ally change the station in a half-
hearted attempt to find some-
thing more worthy to listen to.
After pushing all the preset
buttons, they say, "Ahhh, noth-
ing else is on. 1 hate radio all
the while ignoring the Led Zep-
pelin tape poised in the cassette
player.
The song segues into the
catchy chorus Neither of you
feel like talking, but you have to
say something or you might
actually start humming. You
catch your feet tapping the floor-
board.
The traitors are keeping per-
fect time with the song. They
don't care if your friends find
out you have a closet fixation for
the Navel Queen. You fire doz-
ens of neurons to your feet with
the message, "Stop. Stop it right
now. Stop or I'll jog barefoot
across a gravel parking lot
They don't listen. You tap
your knuckles against the door,
trying ha id to boa tout a counter
rhythm, but the song keeps over-
powering your fingers. They
submit.
You look at your friend. He
is gritting his teeth. He looks
over and says, 'This song really
gets on my nerves You nod
agreement, and watch his fin-
gers click in time against the
stwringjvheeL
You nod. Then you say,
"Well, at least it's not Michael
fackson The driver laughs and
then falls silent again. Your feet
are flying wildly across the floor
mat. Absurdly, you wonder if
your body has been possessed
bv the spirit of a Solid Gold
Dancer.
The song nears its end. You
venture, "That black chick in the
choir needs her own recording
contract
The driver responds with,
"Yeah, she's got some pipes. She
sounds better than Madonna
You say, "That's for sure The
song ends. The rebellious parts
of your body slowly come to a
halt.
As the car pulls up into the
parking lot of your favorite rec-
ord store, you say, "Have you
seen that video yet? It's pretty
wild
The driver says, "Yeah. At
first I thought she'd sold out, but
that video was pretty intense
Both of you enter the record
store.
Her album is prominently
displayed everywhere but u
resist the temptation to pick it
up and look at it. and neil
you says anything about her
recent divorce from Scan Penn,
Later that night, you try to
study, but the words to the song

Madonna reviewed
By CHIP CARTER
Nttum editor
Madonna now has four al-
bums to her credit, numerous 12-
inch remix singles, an Lp of re-
mixed singles, three movies and
more videos in heavy rotation than
she can shake her navel at. Her
newest album, "Like a Prayer
follows the trend she established
with her previous release, 'True
Blue Combing personal state-
ments, pouucai ealities and pop
fluff into a fifty-minute compact
disc, she has come up with an al-
bum that rivals her first one in in-
tensity and danceability.
Her self-titled debut back in
1983 (has it been that long?) was
nothing more than a resurgence of
synthesized disco but disco with
a freshness and power that
stunned the music industry and
the public. Disco died, but Ma-
donna lifted it Lazarus-like from
the grave and rechristened it
"dance pop
She followed that success with
the highly commercial but criti-
cally disappointing album "Like
a Virgin Its prefabricated songs
and empty lyrics could have killed
her career, if it hadn' t been for her
strong public persona and vari-
ous other projects she dabbled in.
The next release, 'True Blue
was shipped out after her media-
scrutinized wedding to Sean Penn
and after considerable delays. She
did record three times during the
hiatus, all three tracks for motion
pictures. For "Visionquest she
wrote the ballad "Crazy for You"
and "Into the Groove" came from
her movie debut, "Desperately
Seeking Susan
"Groove" was arguably the
best dance song she'd done to da te.
She followed this with "Live to
Tell a haunting ballad crafted
for her husband's film, "At Close
Range This song appeared on
"True31ue" as well.
Ihese mj-bctween projects
suggested that, Madonna shone
brightest when not trying to fulfill
a 10-song-per-album quota. In-
deed, her first release was com-
posed almost entirely of singles
she had previously released.
"Like a Prayer" suffers from
the same sort of punch-the-clock
mentality, but also breaks free in
several places to reestablish Ma-
donna as a pop artist in league
with Prince and John Cougar
Mellencamp. The title song is not
very controversial in itself, but the
accompanying video has caused a
huge stir.
Madonna plays an innocent
bystander who sees a girl brutally
attacked by a gang. A black man
who tries to help the girl is ar-
rested and before going to the
police, Madonna finds refuge in a
church where she dreams about
having the stigmata and kissing
the feet of a statue of a black saint
above the altar. The saint looks
suspiciously like the wrongly-ac-
cused black man, and when he
comes to life, it becomes apparent
they are the same.
Catholics and other fanatical
groups have tried to ban the video
without trying to understand the
implications of the video ? that
not getL ig involved is more dan-
gerous than breaking a few ta-
boos.
Ironically enough, the song
breaks no new ground for Ma-
donna, taboo or otherwise. It's the
same old groove, but pleasant
enough, especially the back-up
singers and the choir during the
chorus. The in tcrsplicing of church
music with the body of the song is
no new trick in the world of pop?
ACDC and many other heavy
melalbandshavedoneitforyears.
The strongest tracks on "Like
a Prayer" are the ones where Ma-
donna explicates her personal life
into universal experiences. "Til
Death Do Us Part" is obviously
about her break up with Penn. It
contains startlingly frank situ-
ations and language. Nothing
dirty, but whenever the word
"bruise" is used in connection wi th
Penn, it's usually not a joke.
"Oh Father" and "Promise to
Try" deal with Madonna's rela-
tionships with her parents. "Fa-
ther" is almost too sugary with its
violins and happy memories, but
the song succeeds any way. "Prom-
ise" is much stronger. Madonna is
not Bruce Springsteen, who is ba-
sically the short story writer of the
pop scene. His songs overflow
with fully realized characters and
situations.
Neither is Madonna a poet
like Stevie Nicks. Madonna's
strength lies in her non-fictional
accounts of her own life. "Prom-
ise" relays the image of Madonna
as a child, trying to say good-bye
to her dying mother. It is a power-
ful image and one that never dete-
riorates into sentimentality.
"Cherish" is throwaway pop.
For some reason, Madonna felt
the need to tip the hat to the old
Association song, "Cherish
which was a silly tune to begin
with.
Perhaps the best surprise on
the album is the duet between Ma-
donna and Prince, "Love Song
The collaboration of mega-stars is
a tricky thing. Some turn into ego
exercises, as with Michael Jackson
and Paul McCartney; others be-
come true masterpieces, as
Prince's duet withSheena Easton

Who will admit to liking the
new Madonna single?
Much like last year'sGeorge
Michael tune, "One More Try
a surprising amount of people
with taste secretly like the song.
But their ethics, good sense and
fear of humiliation keep them
from admitting it.
So, when the radio begins
playing it, as those first few bars
of organ music stream out from
the speakers, you panic. You
hope that whoever's driving
doesn't think tochange thechan-
nel, even though you automati-
cally responded to the song by
saying, "God. Not more Ma-
donna
Meanwhile, they may casu-
ally change the station in a half-
hearted attempt to find some-
thing more worthy to listen to.
After pushing all the pre-set
buttons, they say, "Ahhh, noth-
ing else is on. I hate radio all
the while ignoring the Led Zep-
pelin tape poised in the cassette
player.
The song segues into the
catchy chorus. Neither of you
feel like talking, but you have to
say something or you might
actually start humming. You
catch your feet tapping the floor-
board.
The traitors are keeping per-
fect time with the song. They
don't care if your friends find
out you have a closet fixation for
the Navel Queen. You fire doz-
ens of neurons to your feet with
the message, "Stop. Stop it right
now. Stop or I'll jog barefoot
across a gravel parking lot
They don't listen. You tap
your knuckles against the door,
trying hard to beat out a counter-
rhythm, but the song keeps over-
powering your fingers. They
submit.
You look at your friend. He
is gritting his teeth. He looks
over and says, "This song really
gets on my nerves You nod
agreement, and watch his fin-
gers click in time against the
steering wheel.
You nod. Then you say,
"Well, at least it's not Michael
Jackson The driver laughs and
then falls silent again. Your feet
are flying wildly across the floor
mat. Absurdly, you wonder if
your body has been possessed
by the spirit of a Solid Gold
Dancer.
The song nears its end. You
venture, "That black chick in the
choir needs her own recording
contract
The driver responds with,
"Yeah, she's got some pipes. She
sounds better than Madonna
You say, "Thaf s for sure The
song ends. The rebellious parts
of your body slowly come to a
halt.
As the car pulls up into the
parking lot of your favorite rec-
ord store, you say, "Have you
seen that video yet? It's pretty
wild
The driver says, "Yeah. At
first I thought she'd sold out, but
that video was pretty intense
Both of you enter the record
store.
Her album is prominently
displayed everywhere, but you
resist the temptation to pick it I
up and look at it, and neither of
you says anything about her
recent divorce from Scan Penn.
Later that night, you try to ;
study, but the words to the song !
keep running through your
head. You wonder if you should j
come clean about this, stand up j
and shout out to the world, "Hey!

proved. The combinations rarely
tall into the mediocre range.
"Love Song" is no exception.
The Prince-penned runeshowsoff
both singers and their sensuality
well Madonna and Prince rose to
stardom on their music and their
highly sexual images. Perhaps a
t?etter choice of material would
have been Prince's "Erotic City a
truly nasty song that he and Sheila
E. put on the flip side of "Let's Go
Crazy' off the "Purple Rain"
soundtrack. But in this kinder, gen-
tler era of safe sex, "Love Song" is
suggestive enough to get the blood
flowing, and safe enough to play
on the radio.
The hottest dance songs are
the upbeat "Express Yourself a
vaguely feminist anthem about
truth in relationships, and the title
track. While "Til Death Do Us
Part" is fast enough for the dance
floor, its almost confusing chorus
may not make it the club hit "Like
a Prayer" has become.
"Death" is interesting for
other reasons. Madonna has obvi-
ously been listening to some ex-
perimental pop artists, and their
influence helps this record. Cana-
dian techno-pop queen Jane Si-
berry is garnering a cult following
in the States, and from the spoken
word chorus on "Death a tech-
nique Siberry uses often, It seems
Madonna has joined this legion of
admirers. Hints of Kate Bush and
Laurie Anderson show upas well,
especially in the ballad "Spanish
Eyes
Madonna has had to grow up
in the public eye. From her nude
photo scandals to her record-
breaking album sales to her vigor-
ous support of AIDS research and
other charitable causes, Madonna
Ciccone has proved beyond a
shadow of a doubt that she has the
power to stay in the vicious pop
circle. She continues to hint at an
artistic integrity that keeps rear-
ing its head despite her produc-
ers' apparent attempts to squash
it.
True, multi-million dollar
Pepsi commercial deals tend to
negate said integrity. But you have
to keep in mind two things: She
didn't back down from the con-
troversy her video caused her
corporate sponsors, and she was a
singer first.Thisalbum proves that
she remembers that.

the candidates were introduced
and told the crowd, "We're here

The enthusiastic crowd of 40

The East Carolina baseball
team is off to its best start in the
history of Pirate baseball. They
increased their record to 22-2 on
Tuesday after sweeping a double-
header against Baptist College.
The Pirates took the Bucca-
neers 5-2 in the first game while
they prevailed l)-4 in the second
game.
John White captured his fifth
win oi the season on the mound in
the second game and has no losses
as the sophomore pitcher boasts a
0.00 ERA.
White pitched 1 13 innings
for the Pirates, had two hits and
no runs.
Brien Berckman took the win
in the first game for ECU as he
goes 2-0 for the season. The junior
from Fayetteville pitched seven
innings and gave up seven hits
and two runs, one of them earned.
The Pirates wasted no time
getting on the scoreboard in the
first game with a run in the first
inning. John Adams and Tommy
Eason both walked and John Gast
hit a grounder. But an error on the
ground ball brought in Adams for
the 1-0 lead.
Baptist would answer back to
the Pirates in the third when Kevin
Futrell reached on an error and
was sent to third. A sacrifice flvby
Dan Wolfe scored Futrell and the
Buccaneers had tied it up at 1-1.
But the Pirates would not
hesitate on regaining the lead. In
the bottom of the third, Adams
led off with a single and Eason
walked. Gast singled to drive in
Adams and David Ritchie, Eason's
courtesy runner, advanced to third
on a fly out. He then stole home
when Gast stole second to put the
Pirates up by two, at 3-1.
ECU wrapped up their scor-
ing in the fifth when they scored
two more runs. Adams hit a bloop
single just over the third baseman's
head. He moved to second on a
fielder's choice, advanced to third
on a wild pitch and scored on a
Calvin Brown sacrifice fly. Gast
then walked, stole second and was
driven in on a double by Steve
Goddin.
Baptist scored on a solo home
run in the seventh by Mike Olean,
but it wasn't enough for the Buc-
caneers as they went on to lose 5-
2.
The Buccaneers took the early
lead again in the second game of
the doubleheader when Smalley
singled. Steve Ebersole then
walked and Hardy Ferguson
singled to score Smalley. David
Sink and Courtney Jackson both
walked to force Ebersole to score.
But the Pirates took the lead
bv one in the second when Godin
singled and Chris Caublc walked.
The bases were then loaded un
when Kevin Riggs walked. Godin
scored on a Mike Andrews' sacri-
fice fly and Thomas drove in
Ritchie, who was running for
Cauble, on a single. Adams then
scored Riggs on a hit and the Pi-
rates were up, 3-2.
Baptist came back in the fifth
to tie it up. Ferguson, who singled
earlier, scored later on a double to
make the score 3-3.
But the Pirates would not
remain idle as they added three
more runs in the bottom of the
fifth to regain the lead at 6-3.
Thomas led off wi th a double, then
advanced to third on a sacrifice fly
ball. Eason drove him home on a
single. Brown then came to the
plate and homered, ako binr

Freshmen Barb Shueller and
Laura Crow dor both hit home runs
in the first game of a doubleheader,
which the Pirates swept from
Louisburg College Tuesday.
The I ady Pirates walloped the
Hurricanes lo-4 in the first game
with a total of nine hits.
Louisburg lumped on the Pi-
rates early, scoring an unearned
run in the first inning. The Pirates
then scored three runs in the sec-
ond inning to put themselves on
top. The Hurricanes were not
giving up without a fight, and
proved it bv putting three more
runs on the scoreboard in the next
three innings.
The Pirates started a rally in
the fifth inning by scoring a total
oi eight runs. Shueller slammed a
home run and picked up two RBIs.
In the sixth inning, the Lady
Pirates wrapped up the game by
scoring five more runs. This put
the ten-run rule into effect. Crow-
der hit a home run and picked
three RBIs.
The leading hitters wereChris
Bvrne 2-4, Crowder 2-2 and
Shueller 1-1. The winning pitcher
was Tracye Larkin allowing only
six hits and recording four strike-
outs.
The second game of the pair
proved to be a even more success-
ful, as the Pirates pounded the
ball harder and defeated the Hur-
ricanes, 22-2. The winning pitcher
was Jenifer Sagl holding the Hur-
ricanes to three hits while record-
ing five strikeouts. Sagl was not
onlv the leader on the mound, but
also was the leader at the plate.
She went 2-4 with a double and
one RBI.
The Pirates jumped on the
Lady Hurricanes early this time,
scoringone run on the first inning,
and thirteen runs in the second
inning. Crowder hit a grandslam,
making it her second home run of
the day. Crowder said, "1 was

The East Carolina Lacrosse
Team continued their season last
weekend with two decisive wins
over U.N.CGreensboro and
Davidson.
East Carolina's first win came
when they pummeled UNC-G by
a score of 12 to 1. Everyone on the
starting offense scored for ECU as
they tormented the Greensboro
goalie with numerous shots. A
hat trick by Captain Jeff Cartledge
led the attack, with Pete Gibbs
adding two more to the tally. Al-
though Jay Black was held to one
goal, his assists made many more
possible. The rest of the goals are
accounted for by the first midfield
line. The line made up of Kelly was all ECU. Drew Bourque and
Hoyt, Ken McKenna and Branin McKenna scored the first two goals
Thorn worked well together espe- for the Pirates but Hoyt would not
buried three goals and Thorn two,
with their powerful outside shoot-
ing. McKenna completed the scor-
ing with a goal and two assists to
Cartledge and Hoyt.
The ball was on the offensive
side for the majority of the game
due to strong defense and clears.
Earlc McAuley repeatedly
brought the ball down to the of-
fense. The goal tending speaks for
itself, only one goal which came
off a broken play. All the midfield-
ers prevented many fast breaks by
hustling back for defense. The
whole team definately came to
play.
The second game was an 8-4
win over Davidson. This game
began with a quick goal from
Davidson, but the rest oi the half
sisted from McKenna and Black.
Cartledge scored another and
Thorn finished the half with a
crank shot which the goalie never
saw.
The second half ECU spent
watching from the penalty box.

Pirates were not able to put four
good scores on the board. I le said
the team is only one player away
from being a consistently good
team.
The Furman Intercollegiate
saw the Pirates worst finish ol the
season, and it came in their big-
gest tournament. Fourof the teams
participating were in the top 20 in
the nation and several others are
waiting to break into that cate-
gory.
Morrison said this finish all
but eliminates FCU's chances of
going to the NCAA district tour-
nament. Garcia said the team is
now concentrating on trying to
win a third consecutive CAA
Conference Championship.
The Pirates travel to Chapel
Hill this week to play in the Tar

their season the following week

ence title in Hot Springs a.

APRIL 6,1989
Pleads guilty to drug charge
Key figure in Pete Rose investigation appears in court
?V - . r-?i u : l nMMrfi nn thrPP vehicles, i
CINCINNATI (AP) ? A man
identified as a key figure in an in-
vestigation that led to a gambling
probe of Cincinnati Reds manager
Pete Rose has committed himself
to plead guilry to federal drug and
tax charges.
Ronald Peters, 31, owner of a
restauraunt-bar in Franklin in
southwestern Ohio, appeared
Monday in U.S. District Court to
announce that he will plead guilty
to a charge of cocaine distribution
and of making a false statement
on his 1985 income tax return.
The U.S. attorney's office
brought the charges against Pe-
ters in a bill of information. In
agreeing to plead guilty, Peters
informed U.S. Magistrate Robert
Steinberg that he is waiving his
right to have his case sent before a
federal grand jury.
The FBI said Peters arranged
a July 22, 1988, meeting at a Mid-
dle town restaurant, about 25 miles
north of Cincinnati, at which his
alleged source of cocaine, Dan ell
Cope of Franklin, sold an ounce of
cocaine for $1,600 to an FBI infor-
mant who wore a microphone so
federal agents could listen.
The government did not iden-
tify the informant but the Dayton
Daily News has identified him as
Paul Janszen, a Cincinnati body-
builder who in the past has re-
portedly helped Rose in physical
training.
Janszen is serving a six-mc ath
sentence in a Cincinnati halfway
house after pleading guilty in
January to a charge of evading
income taxes from the sale of ster-
oids. Janszen's lawyer, ?Merlyn
Shi vcrdecker of Cincinnati, would
not comment on the report. ,
"We're not going to get in-
volved in the melee and confirm
or deny the accuracy of those
reports Shiverdccker said.
Cope is serving a four-year
term in the Marion, 111 federal
penitentiary for a cocaine distri-
bution conviction, federal authori-
ties said.
Major League Baseball an-
nounced last month it is investi-
gating Rose. Baseball officials have
refused to disclose the nature of
the investigation, but published
reports have said it is focusing on
Rose's gambling activities. There
has been no suggestion that Rose
is linked to narcotics.
Washington lawyer John
Dowd, who is overseeing base-
ball's investigation of Rose, has
said the probe likely will last until
at least mid-April.
Internal Revenue Service
agent Lowell Wood said Peters
lied on his 1985 income tax return
by failing to report $80,000 in in-
come from gambling and book-
making. Peters reported income
of $23,523.
Peters also failed to report
thousands of dollars in invest-
ments in two partnerships, and at
least $26,000 in full or partial
payments on three vehicles, in-
cluding a Jaguar automobile.
Wood told the court Monday.
Peters, his lawyer, James
Ruppert of Franklin, and federal
authoritiesdcclined any comment
on whether Peters was involved
in gambling with Rose.
The Dayton Daily News has
reported that investigators found
betting slips in Peters' bar that led
them to Rose. David Chicarelli, a
lawyer for Peters, declined com-
ment on the report. Rose has de-
clined comment on the investiga-
tion and related reports.
Sanders takes Heisman and runs
Two college superstars go to NFL
(AD ? Heisman Trophy
winner Barry Sanders was granted
admission to the NFL draft Tues-
day, just three days after the Okla-
homa State junior running back
asked for a special exemption to
turn pro.
NFL spokesman Joe Browne
said Sanders, a true junior with a
war of eligibility left, is being al-
lowed into the April 23 draft be-
cause Oklahoma State ison NCAA
probation and because he is leav-
ing school with the blessing both
of Coach Pat Jones and athletic
director Mvron Roderick.
The 5-foot-9,183 pound Sand -
ci rushed for 2,628 yards, ind id-
ing four gamesofat least 300 yards
and 39 touchdowns last season.
Those were two of the 24 NCAA
records he broke or tied.
He is expected to be chosen
extremely high, perhaps third by
the Detroit Lions, who have ex-
pressed a strong intresk st in hiin.
The NFL's decision is one of
several in the last (c: years that
have allowed underclassmen into
the draft, either regular or supple-
mental.

ACC ,Big East meet
CHARLOTTE (AP) ? The
ACC and Big East conferences
have reachedmultiyear agree-
ment for a series of early season
college basketball doubleheaders,
a newspaper reported today.
The conferences are expected
to announce this week the first set
of games will be Dec. 4-7 and will
be televised nationally by ESPN,
according to officials in both
leagues.
Sites and pairings for the
games will not be decided until
late May, officials said. The Char-
lotte Coliseum is among sites being

ACC Commissioner Gene
Corrigan con finned Monday ior
The Charlotte Observer that there

cerning the series this week but
declined to comment on its con
tent.
ACC and Big East teams have
rarely met in the regular season.
The onlv games this season were
Connecticut at Virginia and Seton
Hall vs. Virginia in the Sugar Bowl
Classic in New Orleans.
Steve Walsh also said Tuesday he
will turn pro and skip his final
year of eligibility with the
Hurricaneswith an undescrib-
able feeling of satisfaction
Walsh said he had nearly
accomplished his goals to win a
national championship, "become
the best player 1 could be and
obtain a finance degree, so "I feel
nght now is the best opportunity
for me to move on
Walsh is eligible to forgo his
senior season for the pros because
he will cam his degree ibis sum-
mer.
