Student kidnaps secretary
An ex-convict kidnapped a Lee College secretary at
gunpoint in order to have the grades from classes that he
had taken while in prison raised.
Arthur Lee Dunbar, 20, was charged with aggra-
vated kidnapping and sexual assault for the abduction of
the 52-year-old secretary.
Du nbar entered the office Monday afternoon saying
that he had locked his keys in the trunk of his car.
Witnesses told police that the secretary went down the
hall and did not return.
The secretary called about 30 minutes later and told
her co-workers that her husband had picked her up from
work Since she was not married, her co-workers called
the police.
She called again an hour later and told her co-
workers to look up Punbar's transcript and to raise his
grades. Then she told them to send the transcripts to
Southern Methodist University.

UNC Congress shuts down
UNC Student Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark
Bibbs postponed until mid-July the trial challenging the
appointment of 11 Student Congress members.
Bibbs has placed a restraining order on the Student
Congress preventing it from meeting until after the trial.
The trial was postponed since there must be at least
three supreme court justices toad judicate the trial. Of the
five justices, two graduated and one has left the country.
Justices need the approval of congress to take office
so the two vacant positionscan not be filled until congress
is again allowed to meet.

Citizens march against drugs
By Matt Jones
Staff Wrife:
A silent march against
drugs will be held on Satur-
day, July 20 in the West Gre-
enville Area. The march will
start at the Pitt County office
building at 2 p.m. and end at
St. Gabrielle's Catholic
Church.
The West Greenville
Neighborhood and Citizen
Clean-Up and Chug Preven-
tion Task Forceis theorganizer
of the march. Their organiza-
tion was formed in June 1990
to express the idea that the
community was becoming
tired of the drug problem in
their area.
The march will be part of
an effort by the organization
to make themselves more vis-
ible to the public. They also
declared July 15-20 as West
Greenville Beautification
Week.
D.D. Garret, the
organization's president, said
that the march and other ac-
tivities are not solely for West
Greenville Citizens. He re-
ported that the Town Council,
Board of Education and Uni-
versity officials have been in-
vited to participate.
'The drug problem did
not start in West Greenville
and will not end in West
Greenville Garret said. "It is
not a black problem or a white
problem, it is everyone's
problem
He said that only when
all the people in the commu-
nity come together to fight the
problem will it be defeated.
Garrett said that he be-
lieved the organization has
had positive effects on the
community. He said that in
J
the last year the group has
concentrated on cooperation
with the police, which includes
reporting any crimes or suspi-
cious activity which may be
witnessed.
Theorganizationurgesall
those interested to come to the
march and bring with them
banners against drugs, hand-
guns, crime or poverty.

The Board of Trustees
decided Thursday that the
Recreation Center wi 11 be bui 11
on the Cotanche Street side of
Mendenhall Student Center.
Dr. Al Matthews, vice
chancellor for student life, said
the decision was based pri-
marily on student wishes.
"The primary reason that was
given was the desire of stu-
dents he said.
TheStudentGov-emment
Association provided the in-
formation that Mendenhall
was the location students
wanted for the recreation
center, Matthews said.
The SGA conducted a
survey of students to deter-
mine where students would
like the recreation center to be.
According to Alex Martin,
SGA president, about 500
students responded, and
about 95 to 99 percent wanted
the center located by Men-
denhall Student Center.
Matthews also said the
site was chosen for greater
access and use for students.
"I'm glad to see it at a
location where students can
make the most of it Martin
said.
The building, an $18 mil-
lion project, will take up ap-
proximately two acresof land.
Matthews said. Construction
is hoped to begin in late sum-
mer 1992, he said.
Once construction on the
building begins, it should be
finished in two years, Martin
said.
According to Martin,
about 250 parking spaces will
be taken out for the building.
The building will occupy the
space bv Mendenhall Student
Center from Ninth Street to
Seventh Street, and from
Mendenhall to Ringgold
Towers.
While parking spaces will
be eliminated, The parking
will be evened out with new
spaces, Martin said.
Student fees will pay for
the building. A fee of $26 was
added to the Recreational
Services fee last year. The
Board of Trustees is recom-
mending that $40 be added to
the fees next year. The Board
of Governors must approve
the fee increase; their decision
should be known today.
The process for getting a
recreation center on campus
began about four or five years
ago, Martin said. When Scott
Thomas was SGA president, a
proposal on the center was
passed through the legislature.
I'm glad it was initiated
by the students, and I think
once it gets to the campus, it
will be exciting for the stu-
dents Martin said.

Archaeologists from ECU have
been involved in the excavation of
an American Indian fort this sum-
mer.
The Tuscarora Indians, who
were at war with American colonists
from 1711 to 171?, built the fort,
which is at the comer of a field
along the Contentnea Creek near
Snow Hill. On March 20, 1713, a
force consisting of 80 colonists and
an allied force of 500 Cherokee,
Yamasee, and Siouan Indians
launched an assault on the fort,
which was held by 850 Tuscarora
warriors. The Tuscaroras were no
match for the colonists' artillery,
which blasted holes through their
blockhouse, gateways, and subter-
ranean bunkers.
This summer, archaeologists
are trying to piece together the
events which unfolded during the
battle. The first excavation of the
: site began last vear by ECU on land
j that had been used for agriculture
tor more than 150 years. In the 1950s
the land was registered as an
American Indian site and was

Lt. Gov. James C. Gardner and
State Sen. Daniel R. Simpson have
spoken out against the use of federal
and state funds for prisoners.
In a letter to Sen. Jesse A. Helms,
Gardner wrote1 find itoutrageous
that our government is paying for
what amounts to a free college
education for criminals
Simpson, in an interview with
The News and Observer, said, '1 am
upset about tuition money going to
prisoners when I don't think ev-
eryone in this state who isn't in
prison and wants and needs help
can get it
Many N.C. students who re-
ceive financial aid are forced to take
out loans while prisoners just re-
ceive grants, according to The News
and Observer.
Shaw University is the main
correctional education program in
thesute,spending$806,963on their
program last year.
University of NorthCarolina at
Chapel Hill is the main public uni-
versity in the state with a correc-
tional educational program. UNC-
CH offers eight in-prison classes
and many more correspondence
courses.
UNC's program differs from
Shaw University'sprogrambecause
it offers courses for prisoners who
will be re-entering society.
Shaw's program does not hold
such stipulations. One prisoner,
who is taking classes in City Prison,
is not eligible for parole until 2020.
He will be 94.
"That is a waste of time
Simpson said. "If we are going to
allow prisoners to get a degree, it
ought to be for prisoners who are
going to get out into the commu-
nity.
Most of theclassesare taught in
the prison by staff members paid by
the universities.
ECU does not have any correc-
tional educational programs in
conjunction with the prison system,
according to ECU's Registrar's Of-
fice.
In this area, many community
colleges offer correspondence
courses inside prisons. Carteret,
Martin and Ablemarle Community
Colleges are active inside the prison
system.
"Wherever our prisoners are,
we have access to community col-
leges Gwynn Gordon, program
director for the Department of Cor-
rections, said.
Communi ty College classes for
prisoners are paid for by the voca-
tional rehabilitation fund inthe state
budget, according to Gordon.

The Tusearora Indians, who
wereat war with American colonists
:from 1711 to 1713, built the fort,
which is at the comer of a field
along the Contentnea Creek near
Snow Hill. On March 20, 1713, a
force consisting of 80 colonists and
an allied force of 500 Cherokee,
Yamasee, and Siouan Indians
launched an assault on the fort,
which was held by 850 Tusearora
warriors. The Tuscaroras were no
match for the colonists' artillery,
which blasted holes through their
blockhouse, gateways, and subter-
ranean bunkers.
This summer, archaeologists
are trying to piece together the
events which unfolded during the
Kittle. The first excavation of the
site began last vear by ECU on land
; that had been used for agriculture
tor more than 150 years. In the 1950s
the land was registered as an
American Indian site and was
identified as the Neoheroka fort in
1971. Since then, it has become a
popular site for artifact collectors.
According to an ECU press re-
lease, Dr. David S. Phelps, an ar-
chaeologist from East Carolina, said,
"Last vear and again this summer
we' ve been trying to determine wha t
is here
Thesite.despitcintrusion from
artifact hunters, is believed to be
archaeologically intact. "We now
anticipateabout five yearsof work
Phelps said. The excavation is
funded by ECU and is part of a field
course in archaeology for ECU
students.
Excavation includes shaving off
several inches of topsoil to show
stains in the soil which are indica-
tions of human habitation. The soil
discolorations reveal outlines of
houses, palisade walIs, cooking pits,
trash piles and burial grounds.
The project began with test pits
and trenches but is now confined to
the center part of the fort. So far the
workers have uncovered several
oval-shaped structures believed to
be bunkers. They were described as
"caves" in an early document con-
taining a description of the battle
given by Colonel James Moore.
Moore wasa Georgia Indian fighter
who led the attack against the fort.
Among the artifacts that have
been recovered are musket balls,
metal farming tools, wine and rum
bottles, beads, dried but burned
fruitsand vegetables, pottery, pipes,
a few glass arrowheads and shrap-
nel from cannon balls. After the
battle, the Neoheroka fort was
burned and thedead were buried in
a nearby mass grave. At the present
time, ECU has no plans to excavate
the burial site.
After the defeat, the remaining
Tusearora Indians from eastern
NorthCarolina moved north. Many
descendants can be found in New
York. The site is important because
it is one of the last chapters in
Tusearora history.
The fort is strikingly European,
which reaffirms the sophistication
of the Tusearora people. The fort
was about 100 by 200 feet in size,
with blockhouses on the comers of
the walls and a protected passage-
way between the fort and the wa ters
of the creek.
The battle began with an ex-
plosion at the entrance to the fort. It
is believed that the weaponry of the
colonists extracted the heaviest toll
on the Tuscaroras. On the third day
of the battle, the last defensive po-
sition, a passageway between the
fort and the creek, was destroyed.
Little is written about the aftermath
of the battle or the Tusearora sur-
vivors. The colonists and their In-
d ian allies removed most of the val-
ued items from the battle site.
lt is believed that hundreds of
people died in this battle in which
little is known about. In an Ed I
press release, John Byrd, a gradua te
assistant from Boone, said, "1 imag-
ine that by our standards it was a
pretty gruesome

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
The Constitution protects us all, not a few
By Scott Maxwell
Editorial Columnist
Every time there's a battle
over the rights of the accused,
police are among the more
prominent voices arguing to limit
those rights.
So here's a modest proposal.
If cops are so sure the rest of us can
get along fine without the
Constitution's safeguards on the
judicial process, let the cops refuse
those protections when they're ar-
rested.
Let's consider how that
might look. A policeman is ac-
cused of breaking the law; nobody
knows whether he's guilty (no-
body other than the accused, that
is). Other cops break into his home
without announcing themselves
as police officers, then conduct a
warrantless search of the accused
officer's home.
For the sake of discussion,
let's assume the investigating of-
ficers find nothing incriminating,
try as they might. They then arrest
the accused officer anyway,
merely on the strength of the as
yet unsubstantiated accusation.
They do not read him his rights
Without informing the ac-
cused of the charges against him,
they toss the poor cop into jail.
Leaving him there incommuni-
cado, they search as long as they
want, and as sporadically as they
want, for any incriminating evi-
dence ? whether it's related to
the alleged crime or to some other
crime. (If he'sbeen accused, there's
gotta be dirt on him somewhere,
right?) In the meantime, they seize
the accused officer's assets and
sell them to finance the inquiries
? after all, honest taxpayers
shouldn't have to pay for investi-
gating these lawless scum.
Eventually, evidence turns
up. Maybe the investigators
manufacture that evidence, maybe
not. Or maybe they coerce a con-
fession.
Years later, there's a trial.
The accused officer is dragged
from his overcrowded jail cell into
a courtroom, where there is no
lawyer to greet him. Nor is there a
jury of his peers. Neither the
officer's accuser nor any other
witness is present.
The accused is instructed to
prove he is innocent; of course he
cannot. "Justice" is swift, given
the incontrovertible evidence so
graciously provided by the up-
standing prosecution.
Our protagonist is handed a
sentence outrageously di spropor-
bonate to his crime The defendant
cop ? by now an ex-cop ? ap-
peals all the way to the State Su-
preme Court, but at every step the
courts find him guilty. (They're
bound to: the evidence hasn't
changed.)
Though he tries to appeal for
federal review of his case on the
grounds that he received a cruel
and unusual punishment, no court
hears the cop's appeal. In our sce-
nario, all that's required to dem-
onstrate that the punishment was
neither cruel nor unusual, is that
all defendants in the state are
treated pretty much the same way
(thaf s "fairness"), and that there
were no major procedural errors.
(Incidentally, if Bush's crime bill
passes, that will be the law.)
Now the cop is in jail, his
guilt never established beyond
reasonable doubt. His family may
not know where he is. His lawyer
may not know, either. Even if they
did, there's nowhere and no way
to appeal the case. Perhaps the
cop's sentence was death, in which
event a human being is murdered
for a crime he may not have com-
mitted.
Since Constitutional protec-
tions did not apply, the entire
process was perfectly legal. End
of story.
I'll be convinced that police
officers really think Constitutional
protection of the accused is ex-
cessive, when they themselves
regularly waive that protection.

Abortion laws ruled by emotions
By Matt Jones
Fditori.il Columnist
Let's talk about abortion.
Oh, I know abortion isa tired old
subnet th.it is argued day in and
day out. So let's discuss smaller
details within the issue.
What i want to discuss starts
with the legality of abortion. Well
that'seasy,except Louisiana, abor-
tion is legal. In Louisiana, abor-
tion is allowed in cases of rape or
incest. Cut and dry.
lets discuss what legal"
means According to my dictio-
nary, the definition of legal is: "In
conformity with or permitted by
law
What things are legal?
It is legal to wash dishes and
mismatch your socks. It is legal to
speak your mind. Itisevenlegalto
eat green eggs and ham.
So what's my point?
Hypothetical situation: One
day the President signs an execu-
tive order which prevents feder-
ally supported agencies from
mentioning the words "green eggs
and ham
How silly, you say Our
president would never do a thing
like that, it wouldn't make sense.
I mean, it would be different per-
haps it green eggs and ham were
an illicit substance or maybe
caused some detrimental effect
when ingested. But as long as
eating green eggs and ham is le-
gal, there should be no reason for
the president to forbid their being
mentioned. Right? Right
This evample seems to cor-
relate with a real policy.
There is a policy that is simi-
lar to my green eggs and ham
scenario. It's the "gag rule and
here's how it works.
It is illegal for employees of
federally supported clinics to men-
tion "abortion" as an alternative
to pregnancy. That means that
workers can tell pregnant women
everything concerning post-natal
care (adoption, welfare, etc) but
cannot mention abortion. But why
can't they mention abortion?
Simple, abortion must be il-
legal. Yes, that would be the onlv
thing that makes sense. But,
abortion isn't illegal. That's al-
ready proven. It's quite a para-
dox.
O.K I hear some of you out
there, saying, "Well, abortion is a
different thing all together
WRONG. Until the day that
Roc v. Wade is overturned, that is
not a viable argument Because
abortion is legal, there is no argu-
ment which can refute that it is in
any way different. Think about it
Isn't it funny how with a little
help from Dr. Seuss, federal poll
cies can be transparently errone-
ous.
Now let's further thisdouble
standard which envelopes abor-
tion.
If abortion is just as legal as
any other legal acts, let's propose
another scenario.

hospital and I have no money. So
I expect the government to pick

However, at the hospital, 1

Letters To The Editor
Grad student
angry about
payment changes
To The Editor:
In response to the article
written about the graduate assis-
tantships, one question to the of-
fice of graduate studies may be
appropriate: Is there anyone at
home?
It is unfortunate that Dr.
Tchetter's views were the only
ones presented. Everything looks
great through rose-colored
glasses. Why were other voices
not heard in the article?
Tchetter stated that a need
to create consistency with a 20-
hour limit and equal pay scale
would help students move along
in their studies efficiently. These
are justifiable goals, yet shortsight-
edness seems to be dominant. Has
any administrator in the graduate
studies office considered how the
change will affect the students, or
how the university as a whole
might be affected?
Tchetter mentioned in the
article that assistantships were not
meant as support. The definition
of "assist" is, "to help, to lend
help, to contribute assistance or
aid Aid is a form of help. Help is
to make things easier or better for
a person or to give assistance that
is useful or beneficial. Finally, one
must define "support This word
relates, because it means "to help,
to provide help with money or
subsistence With these defini-
tions in mind, one can conclude
that an assistantship would pro-
vide help and beneficial aid.
A proper kind of subsistence
that would meets needs would be
inclusive in an assistantship.
Tchetter is wrong about
what an assistantship is. His views
will not assist grad students to
complete a degree because the
help offered would not be suffi-
cient.
Dr. Tchetter, why do you
think grad students stay in school
up to seven years? The type of
assistance never changes, but costs
such as tuition, books, housing
and parking do. Each cost has
grown, yet "assistance" did not.
Using the theory that an as-
sistantship is not meant to be lived
off is contradictory to what the
university and graduate depart-
ments expect of their students.
Weare told that the work done for
the university must take prece-
dence over any other work that
one might do outside graduate
work.
If graduate students cannot
pay for tuition and books, a home
and meals, then the assistance
doesn't measureup to needs. Con-
sequently, it will not allow one to
finish the program quicker either,
because other work must be
sought to cover what an assistant-
ship cannot.
If the office of graduate stud-
ies would do research, most likely
they would find that ECU is not
being competitive with colleges
within its own system. Even com-
paring last year's stipends and
work loads to other universities
will show that ECU offered less
assistance or more work for the
same amount of pay.
The figure of $2,600 is quite
a mystery. Again, it is not com-
petitive in comparison to other
colleges.
If the example in the article
is explored, it would show the
harshnessof the change the gradu-
ate studies office wants. For ex-
ample, English grads for 1990-91
received $800 a month ($3,203 a
semester). The new pla n is to work
students less-a mere three hours
? and give them $-50 a month
($2,600a semester). After state and
federal taxes, theearningsdwindle
to $550 a month.
Other department's grads
will suffer even more pay cuts
One has to ask, where is the logic
to this idea? What kind of assis-
tance is this?
The plan not only under-
mines the student, it hurts the
departments' Master's programs
as well. How will thev recruit
when they cannot offer a viable,
competitive assistantship? These
programs willdetenorateduetoa
lack of enrollment because stu-
dents cannot live off the wages
offered.
ECU's goal to obtain PhD
programs will also die a slow
death. Why? The foundation
Master's programs will have fallen
behind, and a Ph.D. could not be
awarded since student will have
nothing to build upon.
Many grad students would
like to stay, yet the depleted as-
sistance cannot allow the work
that is being asked of students to
take precedence over the basic
necessities of life. Many grads
want to teach, do research or edit
for professors, but the sacrifice
asked is too great.
Obviously, the skills that
graduates have are not valued
with regard to a worthwhile wage
to be earned.
How about it Drs. Tchetter
and Jacobs, could you allow some
form of respect for your graduate
students and provide the "real"
kind of assistance a student is
worthy of?

Martin Luther King once said
t hat the old adage an eye for an eye'
will leave everybody blind. The
point of the film "Boyz N The Hood "
could not be better emphasized.
Manv are probably familiar
with the film somewhat because of
the violence associated with it. The-
.i ters acrossthe na tion ha ve repor ted
riots and Other forms of violence
during its presentation. Even the
Greenville theater where it is play-
ing had an Police officer posted at
the door to discourage any upnv
ings
The film is the story of thav
vouthsgrowing up in South Central
Los Angeles, a community engulfed
in anger, violence and drugs. The
central characters Tre, Doughboy
and Ricky live m a world where
worries are not concerned with
gradesormoney,bui how not to get
shot. The leads are played bv Cuba
Gooding, Jr Ice Cube, and Morns
Chestnut, respectively.
Tre is the only character with a
father. This seems to be a main as-
pect of the movie, pointing out that
much oi the problem stems from
the absence of father figures for the
you ths. The other characters' home
lives are shown with little or no
discipline exhibited by the mothers
who find it hard to control their
children.
'The film has a lot of messages
in it said the director, John
Singleton in a press release, "but
my main message is that African-
American men have to take more
responsibility for raising their chil-
dren, especially their boys Fathers
have to teach their boys to be men.
The audience will be able to see the
directions that the characters take
when there is an absence or a pres-
ence of fathers in their lives
Tre's father, Furious Styles, is a
man of hard character and integrity
who takes pride in giving his son a
high standard of moral responsibil-
ity, larry Fishbone plays the part of
Furious with intensity.
The film begins with the three
youths at around the age of 10. It
portrays the life in which they live,
giving an idea of the difference be-
tween their world and perhaps a
life in the suburbs.
Singleton gives an ironic twist
in one scene in which the youths are
walking along a railroad track. One
of the youths asks if the others
' Wanna see a dead body i "Thescene
isoerily reminiscent oi RobReiner s
"Stand Be Me and furthers
Singleton 's separation of the two
worlds.
When tl?e characters reach the
bodv. we tind them arguing over a
football instead of a reaction one
would expect from the sight of a
dead person This further empha-
sizes how their lives are lived, vio-
lence and murder incite no more
reaction than any other common-
place event.
We next see the youths around
the age of 17. Doughboy has had
infractions with the law and served
time in pnson, Tre has gaiwn up to
be an intelligent young man, and
Ricky is a promising football player
with hopes of going to college.
The rest of the story is mainlv
character study dealing with their
struggle of through day to day life
which involves women, alcohol,
drugs, and violence.
The finished product is im-
pressive. Singleton has produced
an emotionally stirring rendition of
a life which most of us know little
about. At the end of the movie,
before the credits rolled, three words
appeared on the blackened screen:
"Inca-ase the Peace
It is sad to say, however that
some may not have fully understood
thepurposeof the film. At one point.
Doughboy revenges the murder of
a friend by shooting his assailants.
Singleton undoubtedly meant to
show the futility of this action, not
its glory. However, much of the
audience cheered at this point,
missing the underlying message
which itsdirector was trying to por-
tray
fne film is multi-faceted con
taining more than just a simple
message. Singleton also points out
many of the pniblems within the
community of South Central Los
Angeles (problems which sta'tch
across the nation). The film may
also be seen as a coming of age
movie dealing with boys turning
into men.
The only problem evolves at
certain times when Singleton, who
also wrote the script, seems to step
into the dialogue of his characters.
In several instances. Furious gives
soap box speeches about the pmb-
lems within the black community
Singleton should have let the mes-
sages of the film speak tor them-
selves, instead of having the char-
acters speak down to audience "I"he
stunt came off looking fcxhsh and
Doughboy (Ice Cube) lives by the laws of the street in South Central LA
amateurish, but did not destroy any
artistic caiibility.
The acting in the film was fairly
good, including the actors selected
for the younger characters. In many
films, the younger actors do not
carry their roles as well as the oth-
ers, however, Singleton did an ex-
cellent job in casting the younger
roles.
The role of Doughboy was
portrayed by Ice Cube, a L.A. rap-
per. Bovz N the Hood was hisdebut
into acting, and he did a fine job.
The rapper grew u p the commu nity
portraved in the film which must
have enhanced the believability of
his character.

Star Trek hits
anniversary
By Michael Harrison
Staff Writer
Richly defined characters,
imaginativestorviinesand the most
loval fans in the world are but a few
of the elements of one of entertain-
ment industry's most successful
series.
This year marks the 25th anni-
versary of "Star Trek which is
fvrhaps more successful than ever.
The Next Generation" series will
enter its fifth season this Fall, and
the sixth Trek movie theonginal TV
series cast is in production at this
time, to be aMeased this December.
Until then, Trek fans will have to
continue to re-watch the previous
five films, which are all affordably-
priced on videocassette.
In Star Trek-The Motion Pic-
ture, a highlydestructivealiencloud
of unknown origin destroys three
Klingoncruisersand a space station
on its way to Earth. Captain Kirk
(William Shatner) returns to the
newly refurbished U S.S. Enterprise
to take command of the shipand its
reunited crew from TV' to discover
a way to prevent the cloud from
reaching Earth.
Released in 1979ST-TMP' is
a visual treat of special effects but
virtually nothing more. The script
did nothing but showcase the spe-
cial effects. Director Robert Wise
was said to have prepared the first
finished version of the film, which
placed the main emphasis on char-
acter development and storylines.
Paramount objected, however, in-
sisting to see more of those special
effects that had brought the total
budget to $40 million.
"Star Trek 11-Thc Wrath of
Khan"(1982) is the best of the Star
Trek movie series. In it, those on the
Enterprise have to abandon its
training mission to investigate a
peculiar disturbance at Space Sta-
tion Regula One.
Thesourceof thedisturbance is
Khan (Ricardo Montalban), who has
stolen from Regula One the Project
Genesis missile, a highly-advanced
mechanism with awesome de-
structive capabilities.
With his newfound strength,
Khan vows vengeance on Kirk for
exiling himand his followers fifteen
years earlier on a planet that experi-
enced catastrophic environmental
changes soon after Kirk left.
Battle is waged, and the immi-
nent detonation of a Genesis missile
is the result. Spock (Leonard N imoy)
saenhces his life by making neces-
sary repairs in a contaminated en-
gine room, enabling the Enterprise
to warp out of the danger zone of
the detonation.
"ST II" is tern fie Sci-Fi.The spe-
cial effects, as in the first movie, are
wellonsrru(1txJ,butcharactersand
storylines rightfully dominated the
picture. The atmosphere of the
original series is recaptured with
humor and senous dramatic ele-
ments combined for utmost effec-
tiveness.
"Star Trek III- The Search for
Spock"(1984) convincingly brings
Spock back from the dead and fur-
ther revealed the depth of loyalty
and love among the series' charac-
ters. Klingons hit the scene, how-
ever, killing Kirk's son (Mernt
Butnck) and nearly killing Spock
(again)and Saavik (played by Robin
Curtis who replaced "Cheers"
Kirstie Allen from the previous
film.)
In a last-chance effort to create
a "fighting chance to live Kirk is
forced to program the Enterprise to
self destruct. Later, Kirk, Dr. McCoy,
Chekhov, Sulu and Scotty capture
the hostile Klmgon ship,carry Spock
to planet Vulcan where a high
priestess (Dame Judith Anderson)
performs a ceremony that restores
Spock's mind to his body.
"Star Trek lV-Voyage Home"
(1986) was the most successful Trek
movie thus far. In it, a probe from
deep space approaches Earth and
emits a signal that begins to evapo-
rate the planefs oceans and destroy
the atmosphere. Kirk and crew dis-
cover the probe and Earth's peril-
ous situation while on their way
back from Vulcan.
SpKk learns that the probe is
trying to contact Earth's humpback
whales, which are now extinct, and
will continue to wreck Earth's en-
vironment until a whale a'sponds
to the probe.
Tlie onlv solution is to take off
into a time warp to 1986 San Fran-
cisco, where they begin their search
for a whale to bring back to the 23rd
Century.
Leonard Nimoy did a fine job
directing this film. His knowledge
of the cast and crew had to enable
him to bring a Trek story to the
screen in a fashion that most direc-
tors wouldn' t be able to accomplish.
"Star-Trek V-The Final Fron-
tier" (1989) was the most expensive
Trek movie since the first and was
William Shatner's directing debut
of a Star Trek story.
Spock's very emotional half-
brother Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill)
captures the Enterprise to take it
past The Great Bamcr an avoided
section of deep space, where he
believes the god of the universe
waits.
Critics were unjustly harsh on
this film, although the writers did
push comedy a little too far for the
movie's good. Nevertheless, the film
is a very enjoyable space romp.
Tre (Cuba Gooding. Jr despairs over the seemingly endless violence
that is depicted in Boyz N the Hood
New Van Halen is
sure to please fans
By Greg Jones
Staff Writer
Van Halens latest effort, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, returns to their rock n' roll roots and should appeal to every Van Halen fare
If you have been wondenng
what has happened to real rock n'
roll, given the onslaught of bands
suchas Warrant, Poisonand Nelson,
then relax because Van Halen is
back from a three year hiatus and
they have a lesson or two for those
MTV posers.
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
is Van Halen's ninth album and
third post-David Lee Roth effort.
Although a large split exists in the
band'saudience,thosewhoareloyal
to Roth and those whom have ac-
cepted Van Hagar, the latest album
should be pleasing to both groups
alike.
Even if the band were fronted
by Barry Manilow, the musical
abilities of Michael Anthony, Alex
Van Halen and the axe wizardry of
Edward Van Halen could not be
discounted. (Although that maybe
an extreme example.)
In typical Van Halen style, the
first release from the album,
"Poundcake is true party rock n'
roll. Sammy sings praises to beauti-
ful women who love to do what he
does best (check the album title for
an acronym) and Edward's searing
guitar riff drives that point home.
The album also contains a few
surprises. For instance, "316" is a
melodic guitar instrumental dedi-
cated to Edward's newborn son,
Wolfgang. Rumor has it that Ed-
ward played guitar to his son while
still in his mother's womb. Some
may speculate that the number
'316" may refer to a famous Bible
verse whichaffirms faithina father's
son.
Edward also demonstrates his
keyboard prowess on a track called
"Right Now a song that when
played in a car stCICO triggers an
uncontnilable urge to drive until
there is no more nvid.
The album also obtains Van
Halen's usual selection of hard
nosed party tunes. "Runaround"
features some down and dirty gui-
tar work backed by the band's dis-
tinct harmonization. "Pleasure
Dome" is a straight ahead Rock n'
Roll song cranked out at breakneck
speed.
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
is not filled with the most poetic of
lynes, the songs do not proclaim a
solution to world peace, and it is
doubtful that a keynote speaker
would ever choose to quote a
Sammy Hagar original line. How-
ever, the album as well as the band
is full of pure talent.
Michael Anthony on bass,
coupled with Alex Van Halen on
drums, are the solid backbone of
the band. Anthony also lends his
voice on backgrounds and har-
mony.
Edward Van Halen's awe in-
spiring guitar playing is the finesse
that forms thecomerstoneon which
the band was founded. He contin-
ues to be one of rock n' roll's pre-
mier guitar soloists, utilizing the
finger tapping style he invented over
ten years ago; a style that is widely
duplicated but seldom perfected.
Sammy Hagar's voice has a
much wider range man did David
Lee Roth's, and Hagar's lyrics fit in
with the band's image. When all the
individual pieces are put together,
the combined result is total Van
Halen
Since Van Halen is one of the
few bands this fall who will tour
solo, they will prove once again
their expertise in the rock field.

Widespread P
defines south
By ARS

What is the sound of the ever-
changing, urbanizing New South7
It's not Southern rock in the tradi-
tional sense of the word. And it has
something ? but not very much ?
to do with angry guitars and three-
chord pop songs.
If there is one band that defines
the musical sound of the dynamic
New South, it is Widespread Panic,
an Athens, Georgia, quintet that
shares the freshness, wit, and en-
ergy t their Southern musical con-
temporaries, but churns out a dis-
tinctive, straight-up sound that is
firmly rooted in the guitar-based
rock n' roll of the late '60s and early
r)S.
The first act to be signed by the
newly reincarnated Capricorn
Records, Widespread Panic takes a
cue from the r&b, blues and coun-
try sounds that inspired earlier
Capricorn artists like The Allman
Brothers Band, Wet Willie,and Elvm
Bishop, then spikes this mixed bag
of influences with dashes of psy-
chedelic guitar, melodic bass lines,
and percolating percussive
backbeats.
The result is one of the finest
original sounds now being served

Star Trek hits their silver anniversary
By Michael Harrison
Staff Writer
Richly defined characters,
unaginativestorvlincsand the most
loyal fans in the world are but a few
of the elements of one ot entertain-
ment industry s most successful
series.
This vear marks the 25th anni-
versary of "Star Trek which is
perhaps more successful than ever.
The Next Generation' series will
enter its tilth season this Fall, and
the six th Trek movie theonginal TV
senes cast is in production at this
time, to be released this December.
I ntil then, Trek fans will have to
continue to re-watch the previous
five films, which are all affordably-
priced on videocassctte.
In Star Trek-The Motion Pic-
ture, a highly destructive alien cloud
of unknown origin destroys three
Klingoncruisersanda spacestation
on its way to Earth. Captain Kirk
(William Shatner) returns to the
newly rvt urbished U S. S. Enterprise
to take command of the ship and its
reunited crew from TV' to discover
a way to prevent the cloud from
reaching Earth.
Released in 1979ST-TMF' is
a visual treat of special effects but
virtually nothing more. The script
did nothing but showcase the spe-
cial effects. Director Robert Wise
was said to have prepared the first
finished version of the film, which
placed the main emphasis on char-
acter development and storylines.
Paramount objected, however, in-
sisting to see more of those special
effects that had bnnight the total
budget to $40 million.
"Star Trek 11-The Wrath of
Khan"(1982) is the best of the Star
Trek movie series. In it, those on the
Enterpnse have to abandon its
training mission to investigate a
peculiar disturbance at Space Sta-
tion Regula One.
The sourceof the disturbance is
Khan (Ricardo Montalhan), who has
stolen from Regula One the Project
Genesis missile, a highly-advanced
mechanism with awesome de-
structive capabilities.
With his newfound strength,
Khan vows vengeance on Kirk for
exiling himandhisfollowers fifteen
years earlier on a planet that experi-
enced catastrophic environmental
changes soon after Kirk left.
Battle is waged, and the immi-
nent detonation of a Genesis missile
lStheresult.Spock(LeonardNimoy)
saenfices his life by making neces-
sary repairs in a contaminated en-
gine room, enabling the Enterprise
to warp out of the danger zone of
the detonation.
"STII" is tern fie Sd-Fi.The spe-
cial effects, as in the first movie, are
well-constructed, bu tcha ractersa nd
storylines rightfully dominated the
picture. The atmosphere of the
original senes is recaptured with
humor and serious dramatic ele-
ments combined tor utmost effec-
tiveness.
"Star JtvV. 111- Ihe Search tor
Spock"(1984) convincingly bnngs
Spock back from the dead and fur-
ther revealed the depth of loyalty
and love among the senes' charac-
ters. Klingons hit the scene, how-
ever, killing Kirk's son (Mernt
Butnck) and nearly killing Spock
(again)andSaavik(played by Robin
Curtis who replaced "Cheers"
Kirshe Allen from the previous
film.)
In a last-chance effort to create
a "fighting chance to live Kirk is
forced to program the Enterprise to
self destruct. l-ater, Kirk, Dr. McCoy,
Chekhov, Sulu and Scotty capture
the hostile Klingonship,carry Spock
to planet Vulcan where a high
priestess (Dame Judith Anderson)
performs a ceremony that restores
Spock's mind to his body.
"Star Trek lV-Voyage Home"
(1986) was the most successful Trek
movie thus far. In it, a probe from
deep space approaches Earth and
emits a signal that begins to evapo-
rate the planet'soceansand destroy
the atmosphere. Kirk and crew dis-
cover the probe and Earth's peril-
ous situation while on thou way
back from Vulcan.
Spock learns that the probe is
trying to contact Earth's humpback
whales, which are now extinct, and
will continue to wreck Earth's en-
vironment until a whale responds
to the probe.
Tlie onlv solution is to take off
into a time warp to lgHf San Fran-
cisco, where they begin their search
for a whale to bring back to the 23rd
Century,
Leonard Nimov did a fine job
directing this film. His knowledge
of the cast and crew had to enable
him to bnng a Trek story to the
sawn in a fashion that most direc-
tors, wouldn't he able to accomplish.
"Star-Trek V-The Final Fron-
tier" (198) was the most expensive
Trek movie since the first and was
William Shatner's directing debut
of a Star Trek story.
Spock's very emotional half-
brother Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill)
captures the Enterpnse to take it
past The Great Barrier an avoided
section of deep space, where he
believes the god of the universe
waits.
Critics were unjustly harsh on
this film, although the writers did
push comedy a little too far for the
movie's good. Nevertheless, the film
is a very enjoyable space romp.
Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) despairs over the seemingly endless violence
that is depicted in Boyz N the Hood
New Van Halen is
sure to please fans
By Greg Jones
Staff Writer
Van Haleris latest effort, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, returns to their rock n' roll roots and should appeal to every Van Halen fan
If you have been wondering
what has happened to real rock n'
roll, given the onslaught of bands
suchas Warrant, Poison and Nelson,
then relax because Van Halen is
back from a three year hiatus and
they have a lesson or two for those
MTV posers.
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
is Van Halen's ninth album and
third post-David Lee Roth effort
Although a large split exists in the
band'saudience, those whoare loyal
to Roth and those whom have ac-
cepted Van Hagar, the latest album
should be pleasing to both groups
alike.
Even if the band were fronted
by Barry Manilow, the musical
abilities of Michael Anthony, Alex
Van Halen and the axe wizardry of
Edward Van Halen could not be
discounted. (Although that may be
an extreme example.)
In typical Van Halen style, the
first release from the album,
"Poundcake is true party rock n'
roll. Sammy sings praises to beauti-
ful women who love to do what he
does best (check the album title for
an acronym) and Edward's searing
guitar riff drives that point home.
The album also contains a few
surprises. For instance, "316" is a
melodic guitar instrumental dedi-
cated to Edward's newborn son,
Wolfgang. Rumor has it that Ed-
ward played guitar to his son while
still in his mother's womb. Some
may speculate that the number
"316" may refer to a famous Bible
verse whichaffirmsfaithina father's
son.
Edward also demonstrates his
keyboard prowess on a track called
"Right Now a song that when
played in a car steroo tnggers an
uneontrolable urge to drive until
there is no more rtvid.
The album also contains Van
Halen's usual selection of hard
nosed party runes. "Runaround"
features some down and dirty gui-
tar work backed by the band's dis-
tinct harmonization. "Pleasure
Dime" is a straight ahead Rock n'
Roll song cranked out at bnvikneck
speed
For Unlauiul Carnal Knowledge
is not filled with the most poetic of
lyncs, the songs do not proclaim a
solution to world peace, and it is
doubtful that a keynote speaker
would ever choose to quote a
Sammy Hagar onginal line. How-
ever, the album as well as the band
is full of pure talent.
Michael Anthony on bass,
coupled with Alex Van Halen on
drums, are the solid backbone of
the band. Anthony also lends his
voice on backgrounds and har-
mony.
Edward Van Halen's awe in-
spiring guitar playing is the finesse
tha t forms he cornerstone on which
the band was founded. He contin-
ues to be one of rock n' roll's pre-
mier guitar soloists, utilizing the
finger tappingstyle he invented over
ten years ago; a style that is widely
duplicated but seldom perfected.
Sammy Hagar's voice has a
much wider range than did David
Lee Roth's, and Hagar's lyrics fit in
with the band's image. Whenall the
individual pieces are put together,
the combined result is total Van
Halen
Since Van Halen is one of the
few bands this fall who will tour
solo, they will prove once again
their expertise in the rock field.

ranging from the Northeast to Cali-
fornia, the band has built a loyal
following across the nation, largely
on the reputation of its tight, ener-
getic live performances.
Quasi-fanatical "Spread-
Heads" have been known to travel
literally hundreds of miles to expe-
rience Widespread Panic's no-
nonsense, hard-rocking live show,
which features the road-honed mu-
sical interplay of singer guitarist
John Bell and guitar wizard Michael
Houser, set against the nimble
rhythmic backdrop provided by
bassist David Schools, drummer
Todd Nance, and percussionist
Domingo S. Ortiz.
With the release of the band's
self-titled Capricorn debut in July
1991, Widespread Panic is gearing
up for a national tour behind the
new album, which showcases a slew
of wide-ranging original tunesand
features contributions from several
rock and r&b veterans.
Widepread Panic was pro-
duced by Johnny Sandlin, who has
worked with The Allman Brothers,
Wet Willie, and Delbert McClinton
over the courseof his prolific career.

Basketball team set for 1991-92

trw i. hanges
Nine lettermen are returning
as well as three starters from last
vear which should add some con-
sistency to a program that is in the
midst of change
Eddie Payne, the new head
coach, was hired in March and he
has brought in two new assistant
coaches as well. Payne's record as a
head coach is 103-51 over five sea-
sons which wmII, perhaps, rub oH on

season
The players with whom Payne
has to work arc. tor the most part.
experienced and talented. Last
Year's Colonial Athletic
Association's Rxkie of the Year,
Lester Lvons, returns as the teams
floor capt.un and scoring leader.
Lvons' first vear of college play-
was bevond ?ho h ptl - for ex pecta -
tions of ECU fans as he led the
Pirates in sconng (17h ppg), assists
(3.1 apg), steals (25 spg), Mocked
shots (1.0 bpg) and in free throw
percentage (7.h). In onlv one
game did L vonstail to roach double
figures and against NCAA cham-
pion luke he hit a season high 23
points.
junior center Ike Copeland also
returns to the squad this vear as
ECU's rebounding master
CopeUmd led the Pirates in re-
bounding in his first two seasons
averaging 8.1 rebounds per game
last season.
Copeland had seven double-
doubles last season and his experi-
ence and dependability on thecourt
is unquestionable as he has only
missed a mere two games in two
seasons.
If junior guard Steve
Richardson has no problems with
the new coach, then the Pirates may
have a chance at a winning season.
Richardson holds most of ECU's
three-point field goal records and is
a constant outside threat when on
thecourt.
But, last season, he was sus-
pended after breaking team rules.
Pavne has given Richardson a
chance to start anew and, provided
them a a n) itk ire problems between
him and the coaching staff, his po-
tential contributions on the offen-
sive end of the court are numerous.
Richardson has scored 30 or
more points twice in his career and
in just lgamoslast season he scored
a combined total of 54 three-point
shots, that's 162 points.
Sophomore Kevin Armstrong,
who started eight times last season
after he was supposed to be
redshirting the vear on the bench,
was a much needed boost to the
Pirate roster. The 6-5 forward shot
51.4 percent from the floor and
grabbed 1.9 rebounds per game.
Senior guard Jeff Whitaker
missed most of last season with a
broken foot and should be ready to
play this season alsongside Lyons.
Two years ago Whitaker averaged
5.1 points per game and 2.6 assists
per game.
The four new Pirates are all
transfers from junior colleges ex-
cept Curley Young who transfered
from the University of Maryland.
Young has three years of eligibility
left and could make a quick name
for himself in the guard or forward
position.
One new player who could give
ECU some strength in the paint is
James Lewis. He transfered from
Spartansburg Methodist College
where he averaged 14 points per
game.
The Pirates play two exhibition
games against St. Petersburg and
the Repubhcof Ukraine. After those
two games, the seaon officially
opens at Cameron Indoor Stadium
against NCAA champion Duke.
