Team Semper Fi, a SGA-

and donated them to G.R.
Whitfield, a Pitt County
school, on Wednesday.
The group is comprised
mainly of Marine Corps Offi-
cer Candidates and Reserv-
ists who areattending the uni-
versity. The group actively
participates in various activi-
ties including training and
community service during the
school year.
Team Semper Fi decided
to undertake this project after
members noted the lack of
books in the school. This be-
came such a problem that
school officials had to ask
student's parents to collect
soup can labels in order to get
a copy of Tom Sawyer in their
library.
The project was headed
bv the officer of opera tioas for
the group, Scott Bailey. Al-
though it took many hours

Ways receives fellowship from National Institute of Health
ECU News Bureau
A faculty member at the ECU
School of Medicine has received a
National Institute of Health fellow-
ship to conduct research at the
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Re-
search in London.
Dr. Douglas Kirk Ways, endo
crinologist and associate professor
in the Department of Medicine at
ECU, is spending six months as a
senior international fellow work-
ing in the institute's cell regulation
laboratory. He will collaborate with
researchers trying to identify mecha-
nisms responsible for regulation
changes in a human protein. Ways
and the collaborating scientists be-
lieve that a broader understanding
of the protein could enhance knowl-
edge about how cancer develops as
well as lead to the discovery of new
treatments for cancer.
Ways is one of 35 fellows se-
lected to participate in the annual
program overseen by the John F.
Fogarty International Center, the
NfH's international division. The
program promotes the exchange of
ideas and information on the latest
advances in health sciences by
supplementing research projects of
interest to both U.S. and foreign
scientists.
Ways, who has been a member
of the ECU medical faculty since
1985, has a special interest in the
identification of biochemical mecha-
nisms involved in rransforrrungcan-
cer cells into normal cells.
In recent years, his research has
focused on understanding the ef-
fects of a plant-derived compound

New Maritime History annex named, f oundation announced
F.CU News Bureau
A fellowship to support the
study of maritime history was an-
nounced a t ECU Wed nesday in con-
junction with thenamingofabuild-
ingin honor of a retired naval admi-
ral and scholar.
"The fellowship will be called
the Admiral Ernest M. Eller Fellow-
ship said Dr. Fred D. Ragan, a
formerchairmanof the Department
of History. Ellens name is also be-
ing attached to the Maritime His-
tory Annex,a building used as head-
quarters for the ECU Graduate Pro-
gram in Maritime History and Un-
derwater Research.
Adm. Eller resides in Annapo-
lis, Md and is a supporter and
benefactor of ECU. Last year he
donated his pcTsonaHibrary of 2,000
volumes to the school. Historians
have called the library one of the
best personal naval history libraries
in the country.
The fellowship, supported with
private contributions, will be used
to support the study of maritime
history at ECU. It is the first fellow-
ship in the ECU Department of His-
tory that specifies a particular area
of study- ECU's program in Mari-
time History and Underwater Re-
search is a graduate program in the
history department.
"It is noteworthy that private
individuals recognize the need to
give so that quality might be main-
tained and advanced Ragan said.
Members of the Eller family,
other ECU officials and a Navy de-
partment historian also spoke at
Wednesday's ceremony.
"You honor Admiral Eller and
yourself by undertaking this pro-
gram at ECU said Dean Allard,
director of the Na va! Historical Cen-
ter in Washington, DC. Allard de-
scribed Eller as a man who is filled
with "energy, love of the Navy and
love of North Carolina
Eller was bom in Manon, Va
but grew up in North Wilkesboro,
N.C. He entered the Naval Acad-
emy in 1921.
The Rev. Herbert Weber at
Winston-Salem, a nephew of Eller,
recapped highlights of Eller's life.
He told how Eller's career in the
Navy carried him into World War II
as a witness to Hitler's blitzkrieg
before the VS. declared war with
Germany. Hedescnbed a campaign
in which Eller commanded U.S.
Naval forces in the Persian Gulf in
the Early 1950s. Eller is writing a
book about the Persian Gulf experi-
ence.
Until his retirement in 1970,
Eller was director of Naval History
and Curator for the Department of
the Navy at the Naval Historical
Center in Washington. Eller's son,
Dr. Peter Eller of Cincinnati, repre-
sented his father at the ceremony.
"I'vealways felt this great state
is part of my heritage Elier said.
He and his father consider the
dedication "an overwhelming
honor Eller said his father was
proud to be associated with a pro-
gram that was educating people
about the sea.
ECU Chancellor Richard Eakin
called the dedication one of the "im
portant occasions in the life of the
university
"Admiral Eller honors us bv

ciated with East Carolina Univer-

Opinion
Page 4, Tuesday, April 23, 1991
U.S. role must be defined
Today, an American flag flies over Zakho, Iraq.
Zakho is not a strategic linchpin along the demilita-
rized one on the Kuwaiti boarder. It is a town in
northern Iraq, host to the first of the U.Sprotected
kurdish relief camps.
Over the next week, the United States Marines
will establish several more of these garrisoned en-
campments and distribute tens of millions of dollars
in relief. While many observers praise this aggres-
sive new aid policy, others have criticized it as too
little too late, to resolve a tragedy that never needed
occur.
The kurdish refugee crisis has been called the
worst in modern history. It has also been called the
responsibility of the Bush administration. Many out-
spoken members of the media elite have said that the
refugee crisis would never have occurred if Bush had
not urged the Iraqi people to rebel and then left them
to be crushed, unaided. Calls went up to support the
kurds in the field ? to ground helicopters, to provide
arms, to participate militarily in the civil uprising.
But the Bush administration held back.
After the kurds weredercatcd and subsequently
left thctr homes fcarmg reprisals, the same voices
shouted even louder for immediate and intensive
humanitarian assistance to the displaced rebels.
The irony is that many of the same voices that
initially criticized the Bush administration for mak-
ing war in the Middle East ended up assailing Bush
forultimately not making enough war. Furthermore,
they now shout for a deep and likely prolonged
military commitment in the that very region.
The purpose of this editorial is not to argue
against aid to the kurds, but rather to highlight the
philosophical inconsistency exposed by the aid de-
bate. The same camp that rejected the idea of America
as the world's police officer are now embracing the
idea of America as the world's social worker. Is it
immoral to violate a nation's sovereignty to reestab-
lish national boarders, vet moral to violate a nation's
sovereignty to feed its rebels? Both involved moving
military forces into another nation's territory. Both
were done against the will of the violated nation.
Both arc putting the lives of U.S. soldiers in jeopardy.
Are the implications of being a global social
worker any less complex than being a global police
officer? Hardly. How many oppressed, impover-
ished peoples are there on this planet? Should we
service them all? Should the U.S. Marines set up
relief camps in Liberia to aid and comfort those
displaced bv that country's hurricane of a civil war?
Or should we limit out aid only to those peoples who
we urged to rebel against their oppressors? In that
case, the 101st Airborne should be landing in Krakow
and Prague to help the Eastern Europeans deal with
the harsh, free-market economy we urged them to
fight for.
Of course, there is little difference between the
implicmions and responsibilities ot those two roles.
In fact, fo a targe extent, each implies the other. H we
are to bring peace to the world, we must be prepared
to relive any suffering our actions may cause. If we
are to eliminate suffering in the world, the we must
be prepared to end the political squabbling which
creates such a constant supply.
The question isn't whether America should
wage war or wage peace in the world, but whether or
not America is to have a principle role on the world
stage. And a quick look at the opinion polls ?
regarding the war or the relief effort ? will show that
we have already made up our minds on that ques-
tion.

Letters To The Editor
ECU student
concerned with
inefficiency
To The Editor:
In the March 26,1991 edi-
tion to The East Carolinian, I had
an article published concern-
ing grievences I had against
ECU. One of the complaints I
had was that a student was hit
while trying to cross 10th Street,
with the lights off in the com-
muter parking lot across the
street at night, and that nothing
was said of the incident. I felt
that the story had been "swept
under the rug
The letter I received from
ViceChancellor Richard Brown
pointed out the student was jog-
ging along 10th Street when he
was hit by a speeding vehicle
that made no attempt to stop
and left the scene of the acci-
dent. The accident was filed
with the city of Greenville. He
concluded by encouraging me
to contact the Department of
Public Safety to find out what's
going on around campus.
If I had asked the Depart-
ment of Public Safety about the
incident in the chemistry build-
ing last month concerning
Tollen's Reagent, I would have
simply been told that it was a
chemistry experiment that had
went awry, when in fact it was
not an experiment at all. It was all
due to the incompetence of one of
our chemistry professors. Even I,
a lowly student, knew that
Tollen's Reagent should not be
left around on the shelf.
In regard to the letter writ-
ten to The East Carolinian by Ms.
Julie Toler on April 4,1991,1 must
correct her on some points. First,
my article was published on
March 26, not March 25 as she
stated in her article. I guess the
previous part of this article cleared
up the fact of why the jogger was
hit. Maybe the car's headlights
were not turned on Ms Toler.
Ms. Toler commented on
how students walk through cam-
puslike they arein another world,
taking for granted that drivers
will see them and stop. 1 agree,
and I must clarify for the record
that I never said that some stu-
dents don't watch for cars.
I am concerned aoout what
is being "swept under the rug"
here at ECU. I am concerned about
things such as students being sent
from one end of the campus to the
other end at registration time only
to find the paper pusher on the
other end needed the divine sig-
nature from the paper pusher
on the other end.
I am concerned when
grown adults in college have to
get an advisor to sign their reg-
istration slips as if they can't
read the course catalog and fig-
ure out what classes they need.
I am very concerned when
people sit in an office around
campus, and when asked a
simple question, they have to
transfer you through many
people before anyone knows
what's going on. These same
people act as if everything is the
student's fault.
Some of the problems
arise from students and some
arise from the school's depart-
ments; however, you should
keep in mind that the fact that
we are paying you and that the
customer is always right.
In conclusion, perhaps
Ms. Toler should think twice
about some of the other causes
of problems around campus.
Thank you both for responding
to my editorial. Your comments
are always welcome.

Pearls For Swine
Credit cards create disturbing cycle
By Bill Egbert
Editorial Columnist
My fall has begun. I am go-
ing the way of all flesh. My
Citibank Classic Visa card arrived
in the mail yesterday. It's not my
first credit card. It is, alas, my sec-
ond, and that's what scares me.
The worst part is my reason
for applying for this second card:
I wanted a higher credit limit.
Yes, I'm giving in to theGreat
Temptation. I'mdevelopinga taste
for credit, the milk and honey of
the American Promised Land.
But I can't really blame my-
self. Citibank sent me a wantonly
serpentine letter praising mycr edit
rating and telling how much they
wanted me as a member of the
Citibank Classic Visa family. They
said they wanted to help me attain
mv goals of prosperity and secu-
nty. They said they cared about
my dreams. Then they lavished
upon me that highest of all praise:
thev called me an "excellent risk
How could I resist? Am I not but
flesh, after all?
What's more, they said they
had so much faith in me, my card
was pre-approved. Would 1 ac
cept their cardHell, alter reading
that letterid have slept withheir
CEO.
And the card could do so
manv niftv things, too. I could get
cash at any bank in the Milky Way
and at automatic tellers in Alpha
Centan. 1 could even call a toll-
free number, and they'd tell me
where the nearest teller machine
was. These Citibank folks said
they'd slap a warranty on just
about anything I bought on the
card, and they'd even plan my
vacations if I asked 'em to. Just
carrying this card would entitle
me to $100,000 in travel accident
insurance. I could even accumu-
late "Qtidollar$" and purchase
keen stuff from a special catalogue.
This card could do every-
thing. Why would 1 ever need to
carry anything else? I could just
go naked and hold my Visa in
frontof my privates. With my Plas-
tic Shield and towering credit limit
I will be invincible! I am the Lizard
King!
Citibank made it all sound
soappealing, I feltlikeliving with-
out that card would be like giving
up a lung.
But what really got me was
that higher credit limit. I would
have the privilege of spending even
more money that I don't have but
hope to make someday. When I
thought about that prospect, it
worried me.
Because I proved myself able
to manage a lower credit limit.
Citibank offered mea higher limit,
reassuring me that I could handle
this one, too. When 1 was offered
the higher limit, 1 accepted That's
how credit works, and it looks like
a disturbing cvcle.
If I never refused a higher
limit, 1 would eventually reach a
level that I couldn't manage. I'd
screw up my raring and there I'd
stay ?ata level 1 couldn't handle,
alwaysowing a little more than I
could pav. Before I knew it, I'd be
mortgaging mv house to Mr. Cash
and paying off my Visa with my
Mastercharge. It's like a twisted
version of the Peter Principle: 1
will eventually be promoted to
mv level of insolvency. It's like a
conspiracy ? to make credit so
useful, so convenient and so easy
to obtain, that 1 would embrace it,
salivate on it and grow completely
dependent on it.
Their Orwellian scheme is
for me to end up bound to mv card
like a Medieval serf was bound to
the land, paying tribute to my liege
and creditor.
As a matter of fact, that's
what happens to most or us
become addicted to en lit fjJ
rather, we become addicted toM
ing beyond our means - j
something credit cards:
easy to to do.
We middle-class A I
strive to live beyond our it
That's how we can "afford '?
as lavishly as we do it our -
dried up, hell, we'd live liki
tians.
How can we blame irg ?
em men t for spend in g it -
hole when it's just foil
le id of every hou hold
nation?
But then again, in ur 9 -
ety, credit cards are n
simply magical devices for
ing a fiscal switch-an
ID cards They prov
Thev prove webelong. The
we're oka v.
Getting a credit card is ?
growing facial hair or breasts
you don't have tine, there n

In fact, most people an

have a credit card. Thev
that if you don't spend
money than you have, they
shouldn't trust you. "i oti re as -
versive. Maybe ev en a corr
you don't have credit cai
would pull their kids out of your!
children's school.
So, I suppose w e '
damned to end up in debt
cards are becoming like bod
organs. In fact, they re bee
like a certain, particular b
organ. A organ that seems to hatt
a mind of its own. An organ that
lets vou perform wonderful feats,
but can also get you to do some
pretty stupid things. An organ that
gets you in a lot of trouble, buto
you'd never consider living with-
out.

New treasurer
responds to
recent editorial
To The Editor
My name is Enc Hilliard (not
Hillard), and 1 am the new SG A Trea-
surer. In the future I would appreci-
ate you spelling my name correctly. I
do not misspell The East Carolinian.
In response to the editorial on
April 11,1 would like to congratulate
you on another perfect example of
"finger pointing" by the press. As
usual, the university newspaper has
picked out one or two "culprits"
whom are to be blamed for the low
voter turnout in the recent SGA elec-
tion. The column, once again, gives
us several reasons to despise one
group (GREEKS) tor exercising their
voting rights. 11 s easy picking on one
group, isn't it? Hitler did it.
You have given us a group to
hate, and a reason to hate them. So
why didn't the other 13,602 or so,
students vote You suggest the cam-
paign was not publicized very well. 1
guess they did not see one of my 200
posters, two banners, ads in the ECU
paper,400 cards and stickers, as well
as mv opponents and SGA's count-
less other items. Maybe no one read
t he " Meet the Candida tes" article you
published. 1 guess nobody reads The
East Carolinian anymore.
Lackof publicity isnot the prob-
lem. So what are the problems with
ECU? Wh v did only 2.3 percent of the
campus vote? Why did only Greeks
(with the exception of Ms. Carstens,
Mr. Beamer. and Ms. Ery) run" Why
does the maionty ot voters seem to be
Greek? Why doesn't SGA do some-
thing? Why don't you ask Mr. Edi-

Thafs just part of the list of
controversial questions (and
some of their logical extensions)
that have plagued America in the
last decade. Fundamentally,
they're all the same question: do
we have too much freedom?
Sadly, the average response
seems to be: yes, we do. Adults
should be "protected" from hav-
ing to deal with things that of-
fend them, and minors should be
"protected" from things which
offend adults until they learn to
sublimate their interest.
The average response seems
to indicate that we feel there's no
harm in propaganda (what was
your answer to the questions
about the rock lyrics?) and that
politically incorrect views should
be punished.
That response is what passes
for patriotism today, in the land
of the free and the home of the
brave. Makes you think.
Letters Continued
New treasurer
responds to
recent editorial
To The Editor.
My name is Eric Milliard (not
Hil!ard),andlamthenewSGATrea-
surer. In the future I would appreci-
ateyou spelling my name correctly. I
do not misspell The East Carolinian.
In response to the editorial on
April 11,1 would like to congratulate
you on another perfect example of
"finger pointing" by the press. As
usual, the university newspaper has
picked out one or two "culprits"
whom are to be blamed tor the low
voter turnout in the recent SGA elec-
tion. The column, once again, gives
us several reasons to despise one
group (GREEKS) for exercising their
voting rights. It's easv picking on one
group, isn't it? Hitler did it.
You have given us a group to
hate, and a reason to hate them. So
whv didn't the other 13,6(12 or so,
students vote? You suggest the cam-
paign was not publicized very well I
guess they did not see one ot my 200
posters, two banners, ads in the ECU
paper, 400 cards and stickers, as well
as my opponents and SGA's count-
less other items. Maybe no one read
the "Meet the Candidates" article you
published. I guess nobody reads The
East Carolinian anymore
I ck of publicity is not the pmb-
lent So what are the problems with
ECU? Why did only 2.5 percent of the
campus vote? Why did only Greeks
(with the exception of Ms. Carstens,
Mr. Beamer, and Ms. Fry) run7 Why
does the ma jonty ot voters seem to be
Greek? Why doesn't SGA do some-
thing? Why don't you ask Mr. Edi-
tor?
Instead of writing a short edito-
rial about who we should blame for
our troubles, research this topic, do a
little reporting, find thefactsand sug-
gestions of thecampus; and then give
us a real opinion.
And next year, I hope to see
a candidate sponsored by The East
Carolinian for SGA President.
By the way, that last bit about
Allen Thomas was a cheap shot. I
may not fulfill a single campaign
promise, but I am willing to do
my best. Allen did his.
Eric Hilliard
SGA Treasurer
Editor's Note: The intent of
the masthead editorial on April
11 was not to point any fingers at
the Greek organizations, as Mr.
Hilliard suggests. We merely
pointed out how easy to is for
various groups to organize be-
hind a fellow member. (We also
cited the Students for Economic
Democracy, the Latin Club and
ourselves, and so far we have not
received any threatening letters
from any members of these
groups.)
Next year, we also hope to
see a candidate endorsed by The
Fast Carolinian for SGA presi-
dent However, as long as only
one candidate runs for the posi-
tion, we see no need to play out
this charade for the students.
On a lighter note, The East
Carolinian would like to apolo-
gize for incorrectly spelling Mr.
M111 iard's name four times in the
April 2and4editions of the news-
paper. Like Mr. Thomas and Mr.
Hilliard, we also do our best ?
sometimes we all need to try a
little harder.
Scholars must
acknowledge
other cultures
To The Editor:
I was happy to leam from
the newly organized ECU arm of
the Na tional Association of Schol-
ars (411) that they intend "to
support and encourage an open
intellectual life But that open-
ness is hardly displayed by their
total rejection of scholarship
which reveals Eurocentric and
patriarchal biases in traditional
disciplines and curricula.
Galileo was excommuni-
cated by the Catholic Church for
daring to say that the earth re-
volved around the sun and not
vice versa; Columbus had doubl-
ers among the "flat earthers
Darwin was denounced as a
fraud; and Florence Nightingale
was called crazy. Feminist schol-
ars in the '70s found their work
equally threatening tocolleagues,
who therefore denied the valid-
ity of their conclusions.
These conclusions show
that white women and ethnic and
racial minorities of both sexes
have been systematically ex-
cluded from Western history and
denied their rightful places in our
system of education. For ex-
ample, it took me until quite re-
cently to discover that the cor-
nerstone of Western civilization,
Greek culture, significantly built
on existing African culture. We
do indeed "absorb" other cul-
tures ? but then forget to ac-
knowledge them. Women'sStud-
ies, Ethnic Studies, African Stud-
ies, Hispanic Studies ? all are
attempts to acknowledge forgot-
ten contributions.
As we all know, "value" is
relative and has no fixed point of
reference. Ernest Hemingway's
fiction is praised and criticized
according to the values of the
age. Much as the National Asso-
ciation of Scholars would like to
"fix" Western civilization at a
specific time in the past when
white upper-class male perspec-
tives ruled, that is as impossible
as trying to halt the waves. The
evolution of knowledge, like bio-
logical evolution, is unstoppable.

Reader sees no
positive result
from columns
To The Editor:
I am responding to the edi-
torial written by Darek
McCullers on April 16,1991. His
column tided "Columnist re-
sponds to being called racist" was
another attack on everyone who
is not an African-American.
I am not a racist, and it
makes me angry seeing others
who are. That is why I find Mr.
McCullers columns so offensive.
Why do you allow him to con-
tinue to write for your paper?
Suppose an "Anglo-Saxon" were
to write a column blaming Afri-
can-Americans for all of their
problems? Mr. McCullers shows
all the characteristics of being a
racist. He blames everyone else
but himself for his problems.
I agree that African-Ameri-
cans have had a hard time ob-
taining equal rights. They have
had a difficult struggle and much
still needs to be done. But I do not
see how Mr. McCullers' articles
will achieveanything positive for
either side. His articles are full of
anger and self pity.
Sean Cavanaugh
Senior
History
Editor's note: The East
Carolinian is an equal opportu-
nity employer and does not nec-
essarily agree with the opinions
of our editorial columnists. We
do, however, accept the differ-
ent viewpoints expressed on the
opinion page and allow all indi-
viduals the right to voice their
opinions.
Separation will
not promote
racial harmony
To The Editor:
This is in response to Darek
McCullers'article dated April 16,
1991. Also, references will be
made toward articles from the
preceding two weeks.
To begin with, Mr.
McCullers has willingly general-
ized all white people into the cat-
egory of White Anglo-Saxon Prot-
estants. In his most recent article,
he offered some sort of an apol-
ogy for this error, then continued
to make the same mistake again.
This must stop. I am confident
that he does not want me to gen-
eralize him into a category la-
beled by a few choice words of
my own.
For the record, my mom's
family came from France. My
dad's family came from England,
and he married a Cherokee. By
Darek's standards this makes me
a European-Indian. In reality, I
am an American.
Secondly, Darek refers to
the black race as African?Ameri-
can. I'm betting that Darek, his
parents and probably his grand-
parents were all born and raised
right here in the United States. If
this is correct, wouldn' t this make
him an American also?
Before we can ever begin to
have racial harmony, we must
stop putting ourselves into dif-
ferent categories and realize that
we are ALL AMERICANS This
notion was split into different
categories once before, and it led
to a Civil War. So why are we still
making the same mistake?
It seems to me that Mr.
McCullers is searching for
someone to blame for his
short-comings. I have never
prevented him from obtain-
ing any goal, so quit blaming
me. If he must have someone
to blame, then look in the mir-
ror, Darek. Thafs the person
you should blame.
Lastly, I would like to
point out the fact that we are
not equal. Darek can do things
I can't do. He knows things I
don't know. I can do things he
can't, and I know things he
doesn't know. Life would be
dull if we were all equal. That
inequality should not be at-
tributed to the fact that one is
white and the other is black.
This I agree with.
There is a solution to this
problem. However, I'm not
sure what it is, but I do have a
suggestion on how to find it.
Stop blaming each each other
first. Then, stop looking at oth-
ers and seeing skin color. If
we could do this, then a lot of
Mr. McCullers' complaints
would already be solved, and
we could finally work together
to stop the rest.
Unfortunately, Darekor
anyone else cannot make any-
one stop seeing skin color as a
major issue. So turn to some-
one who can, Darek.
You and I both believe
in God and Christ, try turning
to Him one time. The same
Bible that you like to quote
also tells you to "ask believing
that you shall receive, and you
shall receive Why is there
any problem in believing this
also?

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe.
You have one night.
It seems unfair The genius had all that time. While you have a few
short hours to leam your sun spots from your satellites before the
dreaded astronomy exam.
On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps
keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So
even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.
If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar

Drunken driving on the rise at ECU
By AMBER WILSON
Pirate Voice
Anyone who drinks and drives
is a potential threat to society,
and at East Carolina University,
this threat is spreading.
Two out of three people who
drive after midnight in Greenville arc
intoxicated and legally should be
charged with DWI (Driving While
Impaired), officials say.
Drunken driving on the ECU
campus is increasing, despite the
intense advertising campaigns. Also,
services like "sober chauffeurs" and
organizations like "Students Against
Drunk Driving" have little impact.
Many ECU students have said that
the town is small and they ill only
have to drive a mile or so to make it
home safely.
Charles Vincent is a leading
lawyer for drunk drivers in
Greenville. Karen King, an ECU
graduate, was Vincent's assistant.
Kmg said that about 60 percent of
Vincent's DWI clients are ECU
students. King said once a DWI
offender has been in Vincent's
office, he or she is likely to return
again with another offense.
King said: "Wc have files on
students the sic of books. The
initial shock of receiving a DWI
scares the hell out of them, but
most of the time they gel behind
the wheel drunk again. People
get off relatively easy. It is just
a matter of money
After being convicted of DWI in
North Carolina, drivers lose their
licenses for a year and must attend
ADETS (Alcohol Drug Education
Traffic School) for four weeks. The
course stresses the effect of alcohol,
provides DWI statistics, and tells
about accident fatalities caused by
drivers under the influence. Statistics
show the relative risk of being
involved in a fatal crash while
driving impaired is about three umes
as great as it is for a sober driver.
Convicted DWI offenders are
also required to perform 24 hours of
community service or spend 24
hours in jail. Both the ADETS
program and the community service
cost between S50-S100 each.
King said drinking and driving
on campus is a problem. She
blames the students and also the
police for being lenient and not
addressing the problem.
"The police in Greenville are
inconsistent King said. "They look
for students driving drunk. Students
are the main concern of the police.
Once they stop an intoxicated
student, the police often let the
student keep driving. It doesn't make
sense. The system will never work
this way King said.
King said the only way there
will be a reduction of DWI's is if
the government enforces more strict
penalties. There were 663 DWI's in
Greenville in 1990. A large portion
of these offenders arc college stu-
dents. The problem is not getting
better on the ECU campus; it is
getting worse, she said.
Not all students arc caught
and convicted, and they still
continue to drink and drive. An
ECU senior, using the name
Kelly Smith, says he drives drunk
at least three times a week, and even
if she received a DWI she didn't
know if that would slop her from
doing the same thing again.
Many other students responded
similarly. Students say getting
caught would scare them and they
probably would not get behind the
wheel again when they were drunk.
"When I get into my car after drink-
ing, I'm paranoid Smith said. "I
look forward, backwards and down
every side street, looking out for cop
cars. I never have to drive that far
Smith added that most
students at ECU drink and
drive and will continue to do so.
An ECU junior using the name
Jim Johns, who was convicted of
DWI said: "I was driving down a
highway, speeding. I got pulled, and
the officer smelled alcohol on my
breath. He asked mc to step out of
9 ?? fr p0 -?
JAMIE BAILEY P?. - ?
Smashed?As DWI rates increase at ECU, sights such as this will become more common.
my car and do some tests. The next
thing I knew, I was sitting in the
jailhouse. I didn't think I was drunk,
but apparently I was. I blew a .16
Johns explained the importance
of the ADETS class he had to
take. The class made him realize
that drinking and driving
endangered his life and others.
Johns said, "Showing the fatalities
caused by drunk drivers was
horrible-I mean disgusting. I'll
never drink and drive again
A source going by the name
Lisa West received her DWI
March 27, 1987. "I was more sober
than anyone else so I drove. I
thought I was all right, but I hit a
car, so obviously I wasn't
West said. "Drinking and
driving is drinking and driving,
no matter how much you've had
to drink She has not driven
drunk since then.
West also said it took a DWI to
stop her from repealing the offense
and to change her drinking habits.
War scars environment
By WENDY COUEY
Pirate Voice
The environmental effects of
the war may be felt for many years
to come, according 10 Dr. Joseph
Luczkovich, a biology professor
at East Carolina University.
"The Gulf area is not a pleasant
place to live at this time by our
standards he said, due to the smoke
and oil pollution in the Gulf. Also,
scientists arc unable to fully
measure the environmental impact
of the war at this time.
"There arc about 700 oil wells
burning night and day, continuously
putting out smoke clouds
Luczkovich said. This pollution
caused a "blackening of the sky in
the area around Kuwait"
According to Luczkovich, this
"blackening could possibly disrupt
the photosynihclic cycle of plant life
in the region If this occurs, he
said, there could be a slowing of
food production in the region. Other
subsistence staples could suffer from
the "war pollution" as well.
"The Gulf nations depend on
dcsalinization of salt water for the
majority of their drinking water. But
the deliberate oil spills can inhibit
and disrupt the dcsalinization
process Luczkovich said.
"If oil got into the water
ucatmcni facilities, it could clog the
Tillers used he said. "This would
slow down fresh water production,
but it would not prevent it
Luczkovich also said that the
impact on animal life in the region
may be substantial.
"Animals there will be affected
with any obvious oil spill,
especially semi-aquatic birds that
feed in the waters. They go down in
the water for food, and then they get
coated in oil. Then it's impossible
for them to fly. They will
eventually die because they cannot
move around
Other Gulf animals suffer

as well.
"Larval fish would be affected,
due to the oil spills in the
Gulf. Adult fish probably wouldn't
be affected too much. They, are.
not talking major damage to
fisheries;
According to Luczkovich, water
pollution is not the only potential
threat for the animal population.
"Oil fresh out of the ground can be
toxic, he said. This can also place
animals at risk.
The human population is not
immune to the effects of the
pollution either.
"There will probably be an
increase in emphysema he said.
"Pollution can get into the lungs
and could have a significant effect on
the cilia (hairlikc growths on certain
cells). There will probably be a
long-term increase in the rate of
lung cancer in Iraq and Kuwait.
"I would guess that the old

more dysentery and dysentery-like
diseases he said. Dead bodies
from the war pose another problem.
At the present, the corpses
increase the possibility of disease.
"The best thing (to prevent
diseases) would be to bury them
Luczkovich said.
Increased global warming poses
another environmental threat Global
warming seems to be heightened by
the environmental damage of the
war, according to Luczkovich.

Record-breaking performances bring
more internships to East Carolina
By
TRACY SCHWARTZ
Pirate Voice
Varsity Book Company has
expanded internships from 16 to 41
positions this year due to record-
breaking performances last summer
by ECU students.
Felix Forbes, assistant sales
manager for Varsity Company, said
that last year's group of students set
a company record in book sales
averaging $6,000 per person.
"My company was pleased with
the performance of last year's group.
so they decided to expand the
program to allow more student
anticipation Forbes said.
As of April 8, the program has
accepted 31 students and only nine
spots remain open.
Forbes said that he is very
pleased with the students selected
thus far and is anticipating a fun-
ftikd summer.
"I think it will be a challenging
summer but also rewarding
Forbes said. "Students will have a
chance to run their own businesses
and, in my opinion, that's the best
type of learning experience
Forbes seemed positive when
asked how the program's quick
growth could affect performance. I
don't sec how our growth can do
anything but help Forbes said.
"Other universities like LSU and
Arizona State arc expanding too, so
ECU must expand if wc want to
continue to stay on top
Forbes said when he interviews
an applicant for the program, he
looks for students with average to
above average social skills. He also
looks for those who arc hard
working, who show determination,
and arc easy to get along with.
Forbes said that students must also
be willing to relocate for the
summer.
Last summer ECU students
worked in school districts in the
Oklahoma City area. "This year
Forbes said, "students will more
than likely have the opportunity to
work in Georgia, just north of
Atlanta
Forbes said he owes a great deal
of thanks to the Career Planning and
Placement program here on ECU's
campus. They have been very
cooperative with Forbes and have
helped him contact many
prospective applicants, he said. He
added that the Co-operative
Education program at Pitt
Community College was also
helpful with student placement for
the program.
Greenville's newest health food
store opened in February, but how
long those doors will stay open is
another maucr.
Wendy Compton and Stephanie
Ingram may soon find out what it
takes to not only open, but to
maintain a small business in
Greenville.
The two vegetarians, tired of
limited selections and variety,
pooled their resources and opened the
Evans Street Organic Grocery.
Compton, an ECU sophomore, and
her partner, Ingram, a former ECU
student, jumped into the business
waters this spring a little hastily,
said local small business advisers.
"There should have been some
market research said Pamela Hart,
the director of the Small Business
Development Center at ECU. "There
are a lot of pitfalls to starting a new
business, and one is not researching
an idea enough
The pair began serious
investigation into their business
plans back in November and
December of 1990. But with little
business experience, how long their
store lasts will depend on how they
approach their marketing. Hart said.
"About 70 percent of small
businesses fold in their first year
Hart said, "but they made it past the
crucial stage because a lot of people
fail before they even open their
doors
Walter Fills, the director of the
North Carolina Small Business
Technology and Development
Center for the Ea- .rn Kej, nal
Center, also recommended that the
young entrepreneurs consider
conducting market research.
"The very first thing we focus
on is market analysis he said. "In
Greenville, I don't know that there
are that many students and faculty
that are into health foods
"Any business, regardless of size
or whatever, has got to have a
business plan ?Walter Fitts
Fitts also said that the novice
businesspersons should develop a
business plan to enhance their
marketing potential. Fitts said that
nationally, 80 percent of new small
businesses fail.
"Any business, regardless of
size or whatever, has got to have a
business plan. If they don't have
one, they're skating on that 80
percent
But the future is not completely
bleak for the two, he said.
"If they could almost treat this
as a quasi-hobby, over a long period
of time, they may make it Fitts
said. "I compliment them on their
initiative, but they will be the
exception to the rule if
they're successful
But, as Wendy Compton said,
"We only owe money to a few
people, so we won't be in debt (if
the business fails)

Students remember Earth Day
By TONY SMITH
Pirate Voice
Many ECU students participated
in a worldwide event last year. Some
of them spent the warm, breezy
April afternoon riding bicycles and
enjoying the heightened sense of
contentment. Others visited local
parks to join in the enthusiasm
surrounding the affair.
The event was Earth Day. Held
on April 22, 1990, the day was a
memorable experience for many. Or
was it?
"I'm not really sure what Earth
Day was about or why they had it
ECU senior Robb Imperato said. "1
thought it was a good excuse to
party though
These sentiments are shared by
ECU students. Most can remember
what they were doing on that day
but forget why they were doing it.
"I went out to River Park North
because that's where everybody said
they were going ECU student Lori
Hunter said. "There were a lot of
really neat animal exhibits and some
information about recycling, but I
really didn't know why 1 was mere
Earth Day 1990 was actually
the 20lh anniversary of the original
Earth Day (held on April 22, 1970).
That day was the brainchild of
Denis Hayes, a Harvard Law School
dropout turned environmental
activist.
Hayes appealed to Congress to
support a day of environmental
awareness. His intent was to hold
rallies, speeches and demonstrations
to promote the welfare of the planet.
Congress approved, and the day
became a success, with more than
20 million Americans participating.
In short order, Congress enacted
a number of regulations to protect
the environment.
These actions led to the
resurgence of Earth Day in 1990.
In a recent Los Angeles Times
interview (Feb. 28, 1991), Hayes
said that he wanted to hold the event
again to find out two things. "First,
I wanted to determine whether we
were better off doing all that we
have done since 1970 he said.
Second, I wanted to see if we, as a
planet, were in better shape now.
The answers to those questions arc
cs and no, in that order
Hayes' feelings are mirrored bv
many ECU students, who also find
the answers to those questions
becoming clear.
'The 1980s just crushed the
environment said David Ritchie,
an environmental design student. "I
think that the world is going to have
to work really hard to suppress the
damage we have done to it in the
past few years. Earth Day is a good
idea, but it doesn't stick with
people. They need to be reminded of
their responsibilities constantly
Junior Kim Rose said: "I think
Earth Day was really informing and
educating, but I tend to forget those
lessons. The planet is definitely
belter off for the efforts we have
made, but we still have a long vy
to go
Some students remember the
day a bit more personally. ECU

The East Carolina Dance
Theatre will once again present its
annual Spring Concert this month.
The concert consists of five
dances, or "pieces choreographed
by five dance teachers in the East
Carolina dance program.
The teachers: Alan Arnctt,
Joseph Carow, Palti Weeks, Patricia
Pertalion and Dawn Clark, will use
their ideas to concentrate on five
different types of dances.
The choreographed pieces
will attempt to show a variety of
dance styles including jazz, ballet,
modem and lyrical.
Alan Arnctt said that some of
the dances may have a serious
message or theme behind them,
while others may be light-hearted or
purely entertaining, but each piece
will be different because of its
individual choreographer.

example, will consist of recorded Alter seeing last year's

Springtime wakens hibernating
nature and dresses it in fresh attire. It
is the season that blooms with fun,
love and, at ECU, formal events.
Whether it's a fraternity, sorority,
debutante, military or organizational
function, Greenville stores have
what you need to look your best for
that special occasion.
Bridal Boutique of Bells Fork
Square is an all-in-one formal wear
shop. One dress of each style offered
is kept in stock in different sizes to
ensure fit. When ordering a dress,
extra material can be sent to provide
your dale with a matching tie and
cummerbund. A tuxedo service is

Another all-in-one formal wear
shop is Brides Beautiful of 109 E.
Arlington Blvd. They combine a
complete bridal service with a tuxedo

Summer 1991 brings daring styles ,
to swimwear fashions and accessories
By CM. KIRKPATRICK
Pirate Voice
Most women work hard to
achieve the perfect body for summer.
As the weather begins to get
warmer, the beaches begin to get
crowded, and the competition on the
beach is outrageous.
An important part of a girl's
summer wardrobe is a bathing suit.
According to Sports Illustrated
magazine, what was hot last
summer is not this year.
David Cutlip, an employee at
The Surf Report, a surf shop in the
Plaza, said, "The main difference in
the bathing suits this year is that
neons are out"
He explained that new suits
are being made that do not fade after
wearing them for a summer. This
means that you can throw out your
old suit and look for a new one.
When buying a suit for the
summer of 1991, keep these few
simple rules in mind.
JAMhr BAILEYPrate Voce

Rule number one: Be daring
with your suit. Stay away from the
"safe" look.
Rule number two: Gel rid ol
those neon, wild-patterned suits.
Cutlip said, "Companies arc

and toning down the exotic
patterned suits
If you wear makeup on the
beach, remember to keep it very
light. Be sure to use sunscreen each
time you go out in the sun.
Most importantly, dress
according to what best fits your
style.

they want
That's the way Tom Ives,
owner of Greenville's Quicksilver
Record and Book Exchange,
describes his business philosophy.
Quicksilver, as it is more
commonly referred to, opened in
downtown Greenville 10 years ago.
Ives transplanted the store from
Jacksonville, N.C in an effort to
bring something new to a small
college town.
"I wanted to bring a big city
record store to a smaller town Ives
said. "I thought people might
appreciate a music store with a
different variety of albums
Quicksilver's musical inventory
ranges from Mozart to Metallica,
The Itals to The O-Jays and Chopin
to the The Sex Pistols. The store is
literally stacked with compact discs,
albums and cassettes, which are
usually sold at discount prices.
Ives frequently stresses that
Quicksilver is open to whatever
people suggest, especially students.
"A tot of Greenville businesses have
a bad relationship with students
Ives said. "But we love them in
here. I think that they feel
comfortable when they walk in
The store's additional
merchandise includes current music
magazines, T-shirts and a large
selection of oversized posters.
In addition to musical
paraphernalia. Quicksilver also
offers a vast selection of hardback
and paperback books. The store's
book section is full of classical
literature, as well as science-fiction,
mystery and action novels.
"I've always carried books
because my wife. Rebecca, likes to
read Ives said. "But recently I've
increased my book selection due to
requests. My main interest is still

Ives interest in musk has led to
many good connections over the
years and he frequently shares these

Hazing crackdowns on the East
Carolina University campus are
causing the black Greek
organizations to begin to ban
pledging.
The black Greek fraternities and
sororities have been known to have
the most tedious pledging process.
A typical scene at ECU would
be a group of women walking across
campus in military style and carry-
ing potted plants or a group of men
running across campus wearing
similiar outfits and chanting loudly.
This is what the public and
potential members have come to
expect of the black Greek pledging
process. And most of the members
respect and value their hazing
traditions.
Hazing has been responsible for
many accidents including death. One
fatality occurred at Morchousc
College in Atlanta, Ga. A freshman
pledge died of cardiac dysrylhmia
after attending a meeting where
fraternity brothers pounded on the
chest of potential members.
Some localized accidents
occurred at schools including North
Carolina A&T and North Carolina
Central University.
After several incidents, the
Greek organizations on the national
level decided to change the pledging
process, abolishing hazing for good.
Hank Nuwer, author of "Broken
Pledges: The Deadly Rite of
Hazing said pledging is
demeaning.
"If you end pledging, the
students will not stop hazing
Nuwer said.
"They will only take it
underground, where it will be even
more difficult to stop. We don't
have a lot of rites of passage these
days, and young men and women
seem to want rites of passage. As
obnoxious and dangerous and silly
as these rituals are, students
continue to cling to them
Dr. Larry Smith, assistant vice
chancellor of Minority Student
Affairs, said that Greeks think of
hazing as a rite because of its
tradition. "It's hard to change
people's attitude Smith said.
"When something has been done to
you for so long, you automatically
want to do it to someone else. But 1
think abolishing hazing is right
Smith said that he doesn't agree
with any form of hazing within any
Greek organization, black or white.
Smith said that he never pledged. "I
didn't sec the need for anyone to beat
me and call me their brother
However, Shari Edwards of
Delta Sigma Thcta Sorority said that
hazing helps to build character and it
teaches you how to be verbal if
you're shy. Edwards said that
everything is done for a purpose.
"Beating" is just a misconception.
"The pre-plcdging process
teaches you how to be humble when
you never thought you would and
you bond with individuals that
you've never met Edwards said.
"Now, the process is too short
and too optional. You don't have to
learn the history (behind the soror-
ity) if you don't want to
Edwards said that the pledging
process used to have a sense of
testing one's mentality, whereas
now all one has to do is pay money
10 gel accepted into the sorority.
Steve Holmes, a member of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, said
that he and others think that
abolishing hazing will make
members and potential members
lose interest. As a result, pledging
will deteriorate and eventually die
out. Holmes said that many
members think that hazing activities
build unity within a chapter and
create an element of respect.
At ECU. pledging costs more
now, and ihe process has been
shortened. The pledge period is also
run by the university, whereas
before it was run by individual
chapters.
"Hazing in the form of beating
is wrong Holmes said. "But
hazing as far as giving up
something to gain a new love for a

Transition means learning to cope
By TRACY SCHWARTZ

Students who return to school
or enroll for the first time when
they are 25 years or older may not
feel comfortable because they do not
fit the traditional stereotype of ihe
18- lo 22-year-old college student.
These students enrolled at ECU
who are over 25 are classified as
non-traditional students. There arc
more than 3,000 this semester, and
each year that number grows larger.
The Division of Student Life
tries to help these students
adjust lo their new scholastic
environment.
One way tficy help is through
their publication "Bridging the
Gap a handbook for the older
student. This guide helps the
students become familiar with the
school. It is a composite of the
experiences of older students who
had to cope with getting in
college and staying in.
The handbook is designed to
make the older students' transition
from the outside world to the
classroom a little easier. It
concentrates on making the best of
one's university experience and
offers a guide to ihe many different
academic services available at ECU,
such as main labs, handicapped
student services, health services and
other university services.
It also gives a complete
listing of telephone numbers and
times of operation for these
places. This publication, when
used with other ECU publications,
such as the "ECU Handbook" or
ihe "General College Student
Manual enhances the older stu-
dents' chances of academic survival.
Christopher Zigovsky, 33,
returned to ECU last fall after
dropping out in 1977 when he was
placed on academic probation.
Zigovsky said: "After all those
years of not having a college
diploma, I felt it was time to return
and get my degree. I decided
this when I was turned down for a
promotion just because I lacked a
piece of paper. Now that I'm
older and more mature, classes
seem to be easier on me. I
actually take time out to study.
That's something I didn't do 13
years ago
He has a 40-hour-a-wcck job
and is a full-time student. He is also
still an active member of the Navy
Reserve. Zigovsky said paving his
own way has played a big part as
far as grades are concerned. "I don't
want to throw my money away
he said, "so my grades are far
better now, than back in 1978
Another non-traditional student,
Lorie Carver, has returned to
school now that her children are
grown and are in school. She is
35 years old and has decided to
continue her education and get her
degree in interior design
"I was out of high school for
15 years before I decided to resume
my education at the University of
Cincinnati Carver said.
She ended up at ECU when her
husband transferred to Greenville
with his company. ECU had the
program she was interested in, so
she enrolled, she said.
Some teen-agers may feel forced
to go to college by their parents and
tortd not i tO"da 'well. An
advantage for older students is thai
they enter college for a specific
purpose. They arc also more
mature and have better study habits.

The security of already having a

University life can bring much
stress and anxiety. To learn to cope
with these problems, one can visit
the Counseling Center.
The Counseling Center,
located on the balcony of Wright
Auditorium, offers counseling to
students, faculty and school
employees. It offers workshops in
asseriveness training and study
skills. and it helps students cope
with the death of a loved one and
sexual assault.
Theae workshops, as well as
many others, are scheduled
throughout the year.
Special groups are also added
when certain crises arise. One such
group was added to help people
cope with ihe war in Iraq.
Individual meetings are also
available. They run about 50
minutes, are usually scheduled on a
weekly basis and should be
arranged in advance.
The center's staff consists of
five full-time counselors and some
part-time help.
Julie Ingram, a full-time coun-
selor with a degree in counseling,
said she sees an average of six to
seven people daily.
Although her concentration is
in women's issues, she handles a
variety of cases. When possible,
though, people are geared toward
the counselors' specialties.
At times, there are some cases
that require consultation. "These
cases are sent to Student Health for
an appointment with the
psychiatrist Ingram said.
One point stressed by Ingram is
these services help students deal
with developmental and situational
concerns. "It is normal for students
to feel anxiety about visiting,
thinking they must be abnormal,
when the truth is that most
problems we address are everyday
concerns she said.
The center not only deals with
problems, but it also can help
students decide upon a major or
possible career.
One way of doing this is
through the Meyers-Briggs
Personality Type Indicator. This is a
counselor-administered test that
interprets social and career types.
The SIGI Plus s a computer
that individuals use on their own. It
offers self-assessment and career
research. The results are printed
instantly, whereas the other tests
require a waiting period.
The Counseling Center is open
from 8-5, Monday through Friday,
and the phone number is 757-6661.
What do you want to be when
you grow up? As children, we were
all asked this familiar question. As
graduating seniors, we must finally
find an answer.
Each year. East Carolina
University conducts a study through
the Office of Planning and
Institutional Research to determine
the specific number of students who
graduate from each school. Last
year's findings revealed changes in
the graduation rate. The most
noticeable change was the rise in the
number of students who graduated
with health and recreation degrees.
According to its 1989-90 study,
the largest number of ECU graduates
will pursue a career in a business
field. Last year, the School of
Business graduated 381 students.
The study also revealed that
teaching is the second most popular
profession for ECU students. The
School of Education graduated 338.
For 11 years, the number of
business majors has topped those in
education. They have always been
side by side, with only the School
of Industry and Technology breaking
into the top two from 1985 to 1988.
Although a career in business
proves to be the most popular
among ECU students, the school's
strict entry requirements only allow
for fewer high-qualily students.
Ernest B. Uhr. dean of the School of
Business, said. "We have artificially
tried to reduce the number of
business students by imposing these
rules and regulations
He said that with their limited
resources, they do not have the
means to educate 1,400 pre-
business students each year who
want to enter the school.
"We just don't have any place
to put them Uhr said.
The study also revealed an
increase of students who are
interested in pursuing careers in
health and recreation. The
department of health, physical
education, recreation and safely
graduated 164 last year.
The study also recorded 161
home economics graduates and 139
in technology. Throughout the
1980s, technology remained in the
top three, but this year's study
revealed its drop to fifth.
According to ECU records dated
back to 1968, the highest number of
students who have attended graduate
school have been education majors.
The second-highest number of
students in graduate school are
business majors.
In order to find out what the
average ECU student wants to do
-when he grows up a survey
compiling the responses of 50
sludents found results comparable to
the university study.
Twenty-three percent wanted to
be teachers and find a job
immediately after graduation, with
no plans to auend graduate school.
This contrasts with the 232
education majors who went on to
attend graduate school last year.
Lisa Webb, a home economics
major who would like to teach on
the high school level, said, "I just
want to graduate and go to work
Most students said they did not
have the time or the money for
graduate school right now, but they
would consider it in the future.
Seventeen percent wanted to
further their education in graduate
school and possibly go on to teach
in their field. They reasoned that
there is more money to be had with
a graduate degree. The majority of
the students were English majors.
However, one English major,
Byron Tolson, was part of the 10
percent who were undecided about
their future career. "Graduate school
could be in the picture, but I
wouldn't mind being a full-ume
loafer Tolson said.
With graduauon ahead in May,
many ECU students will don a cap
and gown to soon face the real world
after graduation. So, perhaps they
will finally be able to answer the
childhood question: "What do you
want to be when you grow up?"

No money? Get a job
By ALICIA FORD
Pirate Voice
During the course of the average
college student's mid-semester
break, asking mom and dad for extra
cash can be a touchy subject, espe-
cially if they don't have any.
So, many of us find ourselves
perusing through the classifieds,
looking for that "perfect" part-time
job. There is probably an opening at
the Fast Fare, but they are open 24
hours and you would get off work
just in time to make it to your 8
a.m. class. Brody's is always hiring,
but if catering to old ladies
and loud teeny-boppers is not in
your future, you could always gel a
job waiting tables.
The important thing to remem-
ber about waiting tables is that we
have all eaten in a restaurant
before. Try to remember the
last time you got lousy service and
the reasons why.
The following are a few tips
(mainly for college students
and surfers) for the beginning waiter
or waitress.
First, the customer is GOD.
That includes the somewhat
homicidal lady who is bulging from
her lime-green polyester pantsuit
and wants a pitcher of diet coke to
go along with her three
cheeseburgers and two apple pics.
That also includes the three
screaming monsters who are
throwing spaghetti across the
restaurant and knocking over
everyone's beverage glass in sight.
This category also includes the
couple who are having a huge fight
and taking their argument out on
you, and the couple in the corner
booth who won't come up for air
long enough to give you their order.
After ensuring your customers
that the universe does indeed
revolve around them, at least for the
next hour and a half, introduce
yourself. Customers like to know
your name so they can scream it
across the room. "Hi, my name is
Susan, I'll be your slave tonight
will usually suffice.
Now is the time to suggest a
before-dinner cocktail. Try to push
the wine, that way they can't com-
plain "my drink doesn't have any
liquor in it Or, in some cases,
"this drink is too strong, I can't
drink this" In either case, tell the
customer that the bartender is
really a lush. Say he is either
drinking on the job, and
therefore loo stingy with Jim Beam,
or he is already drunk and over-
pouring all the drinks.
If something is wrong with
their food, ALWAYS blame the
kitchen. "I'm really sorry your food
is cold, they must have prepared it
too fast If that doesn't work,
blame the hostess. "That dumb
blonde is forever seating people way
back here in the dark, and I must
have given your food to the wrong
table
Try to always keep their table
cleared of used dishes. When the guy
eating the all-you-can-eat ribs has a
small pyramid of bones piled up to
the ceiling, that's usually a sign that
he is finished. Another good sign is
the crushed-out cigarette butt in the
plate of mashed potatoes.
Now it is time for dessert. Be
sure to cut the hot fudge cake into
eight separate pieces for the group of
ladies who "just want a bite Now
go ahead and pa-pare to make seven
more of them.
When presenting the check, al-
ways bring back the correct change.
"I said keep the change not the
dollar bills" docs occur (often).
Also, be careful not to drop the 87
pennies the customer gave you for
his bill of SI5.87.
After you give them their
change and are through groveling for
your tip, tell them "thanks for that
50 cents, now I can get that opera-
tion I've been needing Be sure to
let the busboy clean the table.
Bass fishing offers escape
By TONY SMITH
Pirate Voice
The advent of warm weather
brings the inevitable urge for out-
door activity. Unfortunately, this
time of year many Greenville resi-
dents utter that timeless springtime
cry, "There's nothing to do in this
town
However, there is one source of
outdoor recreation that few take ad-
vantage of?bass fishing.
Greenville is abundant with
small lakes and ponds that are home
to an ample amount of largemouth
bass. Bass, which range in size from
a few ounces to more than 12
pounds, are recognizable by their
dark gray color and their wide, oval-
shaped mouths.
Often elusive and always
exciting to catch, bass provide ex-
cellent fishing for both beginners
and experts.
Every bass fisher has a theory
on how to catch more and larger
fish. In fact, fishing strategy has
become as much a part of the sport
as bait and tackle. When fishing for
bass, there are several considerations
to make:
? Fishing area: Obviously, a
good fishing area is one that is a
proven site for catching bass. River
Park North, operated by the
Greenville Parks and Recreation De-
partment and located on Mumford
Road, is a great local spot to catch
bass.
There are also many small
ponds around Pitt County Memorial
Hospital that yield good catches.
The Greenville City Engineer's of-
fice publishes a topographical map
of Pitt County that can be helpful in
discovering new fishing areas. Just
be sure that the area is not on pri-
vate property.
? Equipment: The two pieces of
equipment essential to bass fishing
arc the rod and reel. According to
bait shop owner Linda Faulkner, de-
ciding on a rod depends orr several
factors.
"Where you fish, the type of
bait you use, and the lime of year all
play a part Faulkner said. "For
instance, plastic worms require a
stiffer-action rod than natural
worms Rods range in price from
SI5 to $50.
Any type of reel may be used
for bass fishing, although those un-
familiar with the sport should con-
sider the "push-button" model.
Reels arc the most expensive piece
of equipment needed for bass fish-
ing, starting at around S25 and go-
ing as high as S250.
? Bait: Bass arc a unique fish
bevjue they are attracted to many
different types of bait. They will
strike at the conventional night
crawler worm and hook, or hold out
for a siable minnow.
Artificial bait comes in all
shapes, colors and sizes, and is rela-
tively inexpensive. Artificial bait
also tend to have strange names:
buzz-bait, spinner-bait, hula-popper
and lunker-lure, to name a few.
Faulkner said, "This time of
year, when the water is cold and the
fish are spawing, half of the people
use spinners and half use minnows
The warm weather will have the
bass up near the surface, which
provides an excellent opportunity.
Stones release new album
By JEFF BECKER
Pirate Voice
The Rolling Stones took
several songs recorded from last
year's world tour, produced a couple
new ones and put them on an album
called Flashpoint.
Flashpoint seems to have all
the right ingredients mixed together
in just the right way. Mick Jagger
and Keith Richards have a certain
chemistry on stage. Combine this
with the crowd's electricity and a
superb song selection, and the
Stones have one hot album on their
hands.
Only two songs off the album
are new releases: Highwire, the first
song to be released as a single, and
Sex Drive. The rest of the album
contains live versions of 15 classic
Stones tunes. Ruby Tuesday, Brown
Sugar, Satisfaction and Jumping
Jack Flash, just to name a few.
The album's standout is a five-
minuf rendition of Willy Dixon's
Little Red Rooster. The gritty guitar
of Keith Richards, the voice of Mick
Jagger and a special appearance by
guitarist Eric Clapton make the
song come alive. The blues just
don't get any better.
A laid-back version of You
Can't Always Get What You Want
and a funky, upbeat version of Miss
You also highlight the album.
Mick and the boys will not take
the album on the road, but expect to
see a new studio album and tour
sometime in 1992. Also, keep an
eye out for Keith Richards this
summer when he goes on tour with
his second solo album.
Welcome
to
Margaritaville
By ALICIA FORD
Pirate Voice
Having worked my way
through school as a bartender, I
thought I had learned to judge a
person's favorite drink based on
outward appearances. However,
during my last semester in school.
I realized that an old drink was
gaining new popularity.
Little old ladies were drink-
ing them. Business executives in
pin-striped suits were drinking
them. Mothers with small children
were tossing back the strawberry
version during their lunch hours.
Instead of bellying up to the bar to
quaff a few beers, college students
were even ordering them.
A new favorite cocktail of
this decade's happy-hour genera-
tion had been reborn. It wasn't a
martini or even a Rob Roy. It was
that sally, lick-your-lips Mexican
favorite - the margarita.
The origin of the margarita is
vague. One story concerns an
Aztec noblewoman called
ZochiU. who devised a "potent
brew" from the maguey plant
(where tequila comes from) for the
emperor. He thought so highly of
the drink, he married her.
Later, during the Mexican-
American War, American soldiers
tried the fiery mixture called
ZochiU and brought the recipe
home with them. Over the years,
the name was somehow changed
to the margarita.
There are several variations
in the creation of this popular
drink, but the primary ingredient
agreed upon is tequila. You can't
have a margarita without it
Tequila is distilled from the
maguey cactus, also known as
mescal. Mescal grows extensively
in Mexico, around die village of its
namesake - Tequila. The sap ot
the mescal ferments rapidly. The
fermented drink, called pulque.
JAME BAILEY Prate Vokx
Sign of the times- the essentials
then becomes tequila alter the distil-
lation process.
There are two basic types of
tequila, white and gold. Tequila"de
ptata "(silver)or"blanca"(white)is
aged in vats lined with wax to make
it colorless. Tequila "amanlla"
(yellow) ages in unlined oak, im-
parting the color of the wood and a
certain mellowness.
The longer the tequila ages, the
better the flavor becomes. Mexican
law requires tequila to age at least
three years.
High-quality mescal is aged
several years. It ased to be identified
by the worm thai was found in the
bottom of the bottle, called the gu-
sano. which made its home in the
center of the maguey cactus. Most
of the worms floating around the
bottom of a bottle of mescal uxtn
are plastic, bul the tequila con-
noisseur may find a dustv old boitle
containing the real ihing.
The best tequila for making the
perfect top-shelf margarita is gold.
Jose Cuervo Gold is as good as as
more expensive counterpart,
Mezcal. Generally, gold tequila is
better than while in its overall qual-
ity. Keep this in mind when foilow-
JAMIE BAILEY Pirate Voice
for making a margarita
ing the recipe- below:
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce orange liqueur
2 ounces lime juice
4 ounces lemonsour mix
Grande glass with salted nm
Lime wedge garnish
Triple-sec can be substituted
tor the orange liqueur, but a top-
quality margarita is achieved only
when using die liqueur. I Grand
Marnier and Cointreau are good
choices).
For a stKiwberry margarita,
subsututc 1 ounce of sour mix with
1 ounce of pureed straw berries
(sugared rim).
For a melon margarita. substi-
tute 1 ounce of tequila with 1 ounce
of Midori Melon liqueur For a fro-
zen Meat, add all die ingredients into
a blender, throw in three scoops of
crushed ice and blend foraminute or
two.
Once ou decide on your fa-
vorite ingredients, fill a mixing glass
ith ice and pour in all the liquids.

salted glass filled with fresh ice, get
a big straw, and enjoy!
SHAWNA CHANCE Pirate Voice
Students drink up at Splash?a bar with a beach scene SpiashcersarTotheropbctoGreenvile'sriclte.
Night club makes big 'Splash'
The Rolling Stones? Flashpoint hits the record stores.
By S.A. CREASEY
Pirate Voice
Many people remember the
opening of Splash in October be-
cause it caused some hard feelings
among Grogs' loyal customers.
Grogs' fans talked of banning the
new bar, but since the bar scene in
Greenville is limited, downtown-
goers started to venture in to have a
look at the new establishment
Once they wandered in, they
usually stayed to listen to the mu-
sic, watch the videos on TV and
have a few drinks. The customers
realized that Splash is Grog's with a
face-lift and a few additions.
You can tell now, as you hear
"Where are you going tonight?
Splash?" that the bar has become
popular with students.
The idea of Splash originated
with George Saiecd and Gary Pete
Taylor. Saiecd and Taylor wanted to
create a new bar, with new atmo-
sphere, for a new clientele.
Splash is decorated with a beach
theme. Fish nets hang from the
ceiling with shells and sea urchins
attached. The walls are painted with
an ocean scene and orange baskets
sway over the bar.
A Splash fan describes the bar
as a great place to go because the
beach theme creates a cozy
atmosphere. "I like Splash because
it is different than the other bars in
Greenville since it has a theme, and
the people there are basically the
same group I used to see from the
Grog's days
Splash has a fully stocked bar
with seven employees willing to
serve any drink you want.
Another Splash fan attributes
the success of the bar to the bar-
tenders. Marcia Jaurcgui saidMeff
Willingham has been one of the
special reasons for the bar's success
because of his friendly disposition
and expertise in making Splash an
enjoyable place
Splash features its special fruit
drink made with freshly squeezed
oranges. Friday nights start at Sp.m.
with a happy hour in-chiding free
appetizers. Except for happy hour.
Splash is a members-only club for
people 21 and over. Memberships
are available at the door.
At first, students showed a dis-
like for the bar, but as their Grog's
T-shirt grew old and faded, so did

Night club makes big 'Splash'
JAME BAILEY Pirate Voice
The Rolling Stones? Flashpoint hits the record stores.
By S.A. CREASEY
Pirate Voice
Many people remember the
opening of Splash in October be-
cause it caused some hard feelings
among Grogs' loyal customers.
Grogs' fans talked of banning the
new bar, but since the bar scene in
Greenville is limited, downtown-
goers started to venture in to have a
look at the new establishment.
Once they wandered in, they
usually stayed to listen to the mu-
sic, watch the videos on TV and
have a few drinks. The customers
realized that Splash is Grog's with a
face-lift and a few additions.
You can tell now, as you hear
"Where are you going tonight?
Splash?" that the bar has become
popular with students.
The idea of Splash originated
with George Saiecd and Gary Pete
Taylor. Saiecd and Taylor wanted lo
create a new bar, with new atmo-
sphere, for a new clientele.
Splash is decorated w ith a beach
theme. Fish nets hang from the
ceiling with shells and sea urchins
attached. The walls are painted with
an ocean scene and orange baskets
sway over the bar.
A Splash fan describes the bar
as a great place to go because the
beach theme creates a cozy
atmosphere. "I like Splash because
il is different than the oiher bars in
Greenville since it has a theme, and
the people there arc basically the
same group 1 used to see from the
Grog's days
Splash has a fully stocked bar
with seven employees willing to
serve any dnnk you want.
Another Splash fan attributes
the success of the bar to the bar-
tenders. Marcia Jaurcgui saidJeff
Willmgham has been one of the
special reasons for die bar's success
because of his friendly disposition
and expertise in making Splash an
enjoyable place
Splash features its special fruit
drink made with freshly squeezed
oranges. Friday nights start at 5p.m.
with a happy hour in-chiding free
appetizers. Except for happy hour.
Splash is a members-only club for
people 21 and over. Memberships
arc available at the door.
At first, students showed a dis-
like for the bar, but as their Grog's
T-shirt grew old and faded, so did
their resentment.

needed refinement in the ratings system.
Set m Pans of 1931-32, the film studies the complex and
intensely erotic triangle between Tropic nf Cancer author Henry
Miller (Fred Ward), his wifeGJflM Thurman), and French writer
Anais Nin (Maria de Medeiros). Anais is a particularly sexual
being who enjoys a safe but boring marriage to her dull husband
(Richard E Grant) but it isn't until she meets Miller that she is
able to indulge in some of her darter carnal urges.
However, Anais also develops desires for June, along with
doubts about 1 tenry For much of the film, Anais goes from bed

Some students were concerned
with the outcome of the 1991
Illumina Art Competition that was
sponsored by the Student Union
last month
Following the competition,
some contested the guidelines for
eligibility into the competition.
Manv felt that first place win-
ner, C.CE. Walker, an ECU gradu-
ate student, had an unfair advan-
tage.
She had completed her gradu-
ate study and exhibited her thesis
show prior to winning the award
for her lithograph, "Untitled Figure
M.C. 3
AccordingtoOtherineWalker,
those factors were not rekvent in
considering an artist's eligibility
before. The show was supposed to
be open to any student enrolled at
ECU, and Walker was enrolled in
two courses, art and music. A visit-
ing art professor sided with Walker.
Micki Muhlbauer said, "You can't
go changing the rules in the middle,
or should I say, the end of thegame
Walker pointed out that she
was winning prizes on her art work
before completing her thesis.
"1 was winning prizes before
my thesis show was done. I don't
win more prizes now that it is com-
pleted Walker added that her
work is rejected from as many com-
petitions as it is accepted.
An artists' chances of winning
a jury show such as the Illumina Art
Competition, Walker explains, is a
matter of luck. The ratio, Walker
added, is fifty percent luck and fifty
percent quality.
"Jurrs' usually know nothing
about the medium they are judg-
ing, therefore, it is all a matter of
luck she said.
Prior to her exhibition in the
Illumina Art Competition, Walker
entered three pieces into the Rebel
Show. One of those three portraits
was exhibited and the other two
were rejected. Ironically enough,
said Walker, the two that were re-
jected in the Rebel Show was ac-
cepted, and one awarded, in the
Illumina Competition.
The Student Union confirmed
the eligibility requirements for the
1991 competition, but is considered
redefining eligibility for next year.
Lynne Jobes, the assistant program
director for the Student Union, said
Walker won fairly because she has
met the criteria that was set by the
student union. Adds Jobes "It
would be unjust not to grant Walker
the award because she met our
specifications. The Student Union
is taking the students' concern into
account, and isconsidenng restrict-
ing eligibility to undergraduates
next year.
David Lynch tries new market strategies to save 'Teaks"
Gannett News Service
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Fans
of 'Twin Peaks set down your
pens and pick up a white flag.
All those letters didn't work.
Sure, the 10,000feverish notes
to ABC Entertainment President
Bob Iger did get 'Twin Peaks
resurrected from its first cancella-
tion. But they were not enough to
keep it from going down a second
time.
After only four weeks in its
new, old time period of 9 p.m.
Thursdays, 'Twin Peaks" hasbeen
yanked again. This time the show
appears more dead than Laura
Palmer.
So let us pause now in a mo-
ment of silent reflection for a series
that redefined television,
overexcited critics, spawned
countless newspaper articles
And made absolutely no
sense.
When 'Twin Peaks" debuted
on April 8, 1990, television view-
ers were beside themselves. David
Lvnch, the weird genius behind
"Eraserhead" and "Blue Velvet"
had come to the small screen.
The attendant hoopla befit-
ted the Second Coming. Millions
of viewers came. And then they
went. Lynch's weird genius looked
more and more like just plain
weird ness.
Dwarfs spoke backwards.
Junk food and coffee took on
profound proportions. No one
knew who killed homecoming
queen Laura Palmer. Characters
spoke in riddles. Sex and violence
consumed virtually every inhab-
itant of the fictional Pacific
Northwest lumber town.
Including the ones who were
dead or in comas.
The media seemed to expen-
ence a collectivedementia. Starved
for intelligent television fare, critics
wrote volumes about the lavishly
produced and utterly confounding
new series. Their editors de-
manded more.
Lynch and co-executive pro-
ducer Mark Frost sat back and
smiled knowingly.
"What does it all mean7" the
critics demanded. "We're totally
confused. Who killed Laura
Palmer?"
Who cares, Nielsen families
began to say Despite an avalanche
of publicity, ratings began to
plummet. By the end of the 1990-
91 television season. Twin Peaks'
would finish in 100th place out of
134 shows.
Lvnch and Frost continued t
smile knowingly. And then they
started marketing "Twin Teaks"
coffee, cherry pie, cassette tapes,
Laura Palmer diaries and Agent
Cooper autobiographies.

Key believes that almost every
time you pick up a magazine, look
at a billboard, or rum on a televi-

ways you don't realize, because the
manipulation is subliminal.
Key proved his theory by pre-

messages in ads. Some examples
include; the word SEX molded on
political figures' faces, the word
CANCER in cigarette ads, and the
use of female genitalia in cake ads.

ess than 10 years ago, 17 U.S.
inies were involved in con-

S t ompanies often fail to m-

With the exception of the re-

The National Academy of Sci-
ences report said 1.2 million to 3
million accidental pregnancies oc-
cur in the Uni ted States each year as
a result of botched contraception ?
either from improper use or failure
of the contraceptive device itself.
About half the 1.5 million
abortions performed in the United
States each year result from such
failures.
Early this year, one revolution-
ary new system ? Norplant, im-
planted beneath a woman's skin
and effective for five years ? was
approved by the FDA. Two other
devices, the intrautenne device
ParaGuard and the?.ervica 1 cap.also
have been approved. Both are
merely variations on existing tech-
niques.
Problems with existing meth-
ods are both technical and behav-
ioral. The daily routine of using the
pill is difficult for some to master.
The diaphragm, sponge and
condom all come in for complaints
that they are uncomfortable and
interrupt the pace of lovemaking.
In the meantime, both the pill and
the IUD suffer from the specter of
unpleasant side-effects
The contraceptive maker's
nightmare is the experience of the
AH. Robins Co whose defective
IUD, the Dalkon Shield, generated
more than 100,000 damage claims
in the 1970s from users whoclaimed
injuries including infections, mis-
carriages and sterility.
"1 hecompanyevenruallysetup

As for the future, Safi said that
he would personally like to acquire
his degree which he didn't com-
plete in Kentucky. When asked why
he still wanted to pursue a degree
even after the lcct
his own business, he gave a simple
response. "A degree says a lot he
said.
As for the future for Bunny's, it
looks bright. One customersummed
up his feelings concerning the es-
tablishment with a toast of his beer
cup.
"Bunny's is the victor of the
beer wars said Pitt Community
College student Jody Theriaul
"This is the happeningest place in
town
It was unclear how long
Theriault had been at Bunny's when
he made the previous statement,
but he did appear to be particularly
"happening" himself.
Of course the easiest way to see
how the business at Bunny's is do-
ing is to simply go by on a Sa tu rday
night.
When you see the scores of
people outside on the patio and
inside the restaurant you will in-
stantly understand its attraction.
There's nothing more beautiful than
seeing a group of ECU students
doing what it is they are famous for.
And if by someamazingchance
you might see through that crowd
of people, you probably catch a
glimpse of Safi. He'll most likely be
walking around talking to his cus-
tomers, doing what he likes best.
And you can rest assured that
he'll have a smile on his face.

Amusement parks ring it up big in U.S.
Student
Continued from page 11

Gannett News Service
You can almost hear thrill-seek-
ers' happy screams.
One in three US. households
went to an amusement park in 1990,
but as theprime summer season
approaches, park owners aren't
banking on habit.
Parks nationwide expect an es-
timated 250 million visits this year
? upslightly from 1990. And to
pull people in the gates, they're
pulling outallthepromotional stops.
The pitch? All the fun is only a
day trip away.
About 70 percent of the nation
lives within day-tripdistanceof one
of 38 major parks ? not to mention
scores of smaller operations, says
John Robinette of Economics Re-
search Associates, a los Angeles
consulting firm specializing in lei-
sure development.
The one-day outing is a popu-
lar vacation answer for dollar-
strapped familiesina recession, says
Ray Braun of Economics Research
Associates. He says he's never seen
such a marketing effort by the parks
as he's seen this spring.
New rides and special dis-
counts are being heralded in na-
tional and regional ads.
John Graff of the International
Association of Amusement Parks
and Attractions cites the end of the
war and the recent upturn in airline
bookings as positive signs.
TS)vhologically, there's been
a positive lift after the war says
Spruce Richardson, head of Six
Flags Over Georgia. "Vacations are
a way of life People want to get
away asa family unit, and they will,
no matter what
Summer ? theme parks' big-
gest season ? will be the proof.
"All the signs we get from the
travel industry are good. By sum-
mer we should be very healthy
says Tom Williams, president and
CEO of Universal Studios Florida.
But not to tempt fate, most parks
are hold ing prices at or close to 1990
levels, Graff says.
Universal has kept its admis-
sion price at $29 and will add a new
attraction every 30 days during the
summer to keep interest alive.
Universal also is offering un-
limited free admission to all mem-
bers of the military May 1 through
Nov. 11, combined with special pric-
ing for their families: $21 for spouses,
$16 for dependents.
And Knotfs Berry Farm in
Buena Park, Calif is entering the
summer season with a new $9.95
children'sadmission price, the low-
est of any major theme park in the
country.
Bucking the trend: Disney
World.
Citing its new attractions,
Disney raised its entry fees. The
standard single-day admission to
either the Magic Kingdom, Epcot
Center or the Disney MGM Studio
isnow$34.85,upfrom$32.75;$27.45
for kids under 10 (tax included).
To lure tourists, the Orlando
Orange County Convention and
Visitors Bureau, site of Universal,
Sea World and Disney World, plans
tooffer a "MagkCard" in thesouth-
eastem market in May, offering dis-
counts on restaurants, lodging and
entry to these major attractions in
central Florida.
"You can just feel people want
to get out and do things thisspring
says Richardson.
Says Bruce Neal of Six Flags
over Texas in Arlington: "One of
the last things people give up is
something the whole family can do
together and get away from wor-
ries of the world

And he did.
Armed with a couple of cata-
logues sent to him by a clothing
manufacturer, Cooper headed
downtown to the East Carolina
School of Bartending. He left
there withanorderfor$l,000worth
of merchandise.Cooper promptly
deposited the money in the bank,
illustrating a financial philosophy
he has adhered to ever since. Over
the course of the next several
months, he sold apparel to Sharky's,
Sweet Caroline's, the Hilton and
Hamingo's.
Whilethebulkofhissalesareto
businesses, Cooper also sells for-
mal wear to individuals.
"I can sell you a nice tuxedo
he says, "for what it would cost you
to rent one twice
If people knew how much
money they wasted buying on the
retail level, saysCooper, they would
be angry.
"If you were to go into a store,
say Brody's or Belk's, for a bow tie,
you would pay between $9.95 and
$15.00. We sell the same ties for
$3.00 apiece. Nobody in this town
can beat it he said.
Obviouslv the word is getting
amund.Cooper said sales have been
improving all the time, with the last
Rape
two months showing a large num-
ber of tuxedo purchases. He has
even sold clothes to students from
UNC Chapel Hill and N C State.
Scott Cooper radiates genuine
enthusiasm when he speaks of his
business. It is easy to see why this
25- year-old, with his easy manner
and personable character, chose to
pursue a profession in sales. Still,
Cooper doesn't want to remain
primary salesman with C & H.
"I'd like for this business fa
keep going, but I want want some
body else to work it for me he said
Fresh from graduating in De
cember, Cooper is now looking fi r
what he calls a "real job employ-
ment with steady pay from whk h
he can gain a good base of experi-
ence. Income from C & H helped
pay for almost all of his o
education, rent and food, but the
business tends tifluctuate from :

seeking a little more financial si?

Lyme disease, primarily spread by deer ticks, has infected
humans in 43 states as well as in Europe, Asia and Australia
Symptoms include red dot on skin encircled by increasingly
faint rings, arthritis, neurological and or cardiac malfunctions.
Ignore "experts" who tell you to suffocate ticks with butter,
petroleum jelly, fingernail polish or ointment, to burn with a cigarette or match, or to apply gasoline or
kerosene. You may not kill the tick and may stimulate it to spew bacteria into your body. Here's the safe way

dollars to play in the Canadian
Football League, don't for one
moment think that upset the plans
of the Dallas Cowboys in
Sunday's NFL draft.
The Cowboys weren't all that
fascinated with the Rocket any-
way, certainly not at the $26.2
million pricetag Toronto attached
to him.
No sir. said coach Jimmy
Johnson. The man he wanted all
along was the man he got with
the No. 1 pick ? defensive tackle
Russell Maryland from the Uni-
versity of Miami.
"We 100 percent traded up to
get Russell Maryland Johnson

made with New England to cor-

faith with Ismail's representa- players, only two of them quar-
tives. "His numbers were totally
out of our league he said.
Exit Rocket. Enter Russell.
The Cowboys' No. 1 pick
touched off an unprecedented run
on defensive talent ? the first six
picks were all defensive players.
Following Maryland, Cleve-
land took Turner, the earliest se-
lection fOr a defensive back since
1?56. Next to go were Nebraska
teammates Bruce Pickens, a de-
fensive back chosen by Atlanta,
and linebacker Mike Croel, who
terbacks. The first passer to go
was Dan McGwire of San Diego
State, picked by Seattle at No. 16.
The Los Angeles Raiders went
for Southern Cal sophomore
Todd Marinovich with the 24th
pick.
The selection of Maryland
was just the beginning of a busy
day for the Cowboys, who spent
the first round talking to just
about every club, wheeling and
dealing. When they were done,
the Cowboys had swung three
trades, moving down in the draft
rotation to accumulate extra
picks.
After choosing wide receiver
Alvin Harper ? the third Ten-
nessee player chosen?at No. 12,
the Cowboys yielded to New En-
gland, picking up an extra fourth-
round pick for allowing the Patri-
ots to take running back Leonard
Russell from Arizona State. Then
Dallas stepped aside for Wash-
ington, which turned over a f irst-
and fifth-round choice to get de-
fensive tackle Bobby Wilson.
When the Cowboys got
around to making their third
choice of the first round, it was a
temporary selection. They picked
defensive tackle Kelvin Pritchett
from Mississippi and then imme-
diately passed him off to Detroit
in exchange for second tbftd-
and fourth-round picks.
Ismail was not ennrely ig-
nored, however. In fhe fourth
round, the Raiders swapped a
pair of picks to New England for
the right to make the 100th selec-
tion of the draft and chose Ismail.
The Raiders did the same
thing in 19S7, when they chose an
ex-Nopick named Bo Jackson
in the seventh round. Draft rules
give Ismail's NFL rights to the
Raiders for four years?the same
length as his Argonaut contract.
Safe!

The former general manager of

couch in Bell's office anxiously
watching the draft on television.

Swann needed at least a 700 on
the Scholastic Aptitude Test to play
for the Wolfpack as a freshman.
However, he could not reach that
score in eight attempts.
Swann didn't care for the pros-
pect of sitting out his first year of
college, so he came up with two
options: join the Marines or the mi-
nor leagues. He played 11 games
with the Titans, finishing with 72
tackles, 11 sacks and four blocked
field goals.
The only other non-college
plaver ever drafted into the NFL
was Emil "Six Yard" Sitko, selected
in the first round by the Rams in
1946, the year they moved from
Cleveland to Los Angeles.
ButSitko never played with the
Rams, and opted instead to attend
Notre Dame. He eventually caught
on with the San Francisco 49ers in
1950.
