ECU'S market- ing students received the real lesson on the importance of edu- cation Wednesday night. lorn Atkins vice president and general manager of C.( Tankard (iompanyofWashing- ton, was the featured speaker ol the American Marketing Asso- ciation last Wednesday. CO. Tankard Company, which is a Ivor wholesaler, pri- marily handles Miller Brewing Company. Thecompanyserves 13 eastern North Carolina coun- ties and services nearly halt a million people, with Greenville Iving their largest and most important market. Atkins discussed the growth of t he Ixvr industry from its small market size in the early '70s toone ot the largest industries in the world. Around 1970, Phillip Morris bought Miller BrewingCompany, which then was a small operation with one production facility. Phillip Morris then trans totied ihe beer inJustrv by implementing their "Marlboro Man" mentality and competi- tive marketing strategy into the beer industry. By 1981, Miller High Life was the number two beer in the country and Miller had awak- ened a giant industry. With Anheuser Busch being the leader in the beer market, the industry became more creative and marketing competitive. The beer companies were doing everything to gain brand loyalty and increase1 per capita consumption, but the industry and the nation forgot one impor- tant element ?- education. The increasing death tolls due to drunken dnversand alco- holism set off public concern about the message that the beer industry was sending out. See Beer, page 3 Senior class hopes to create new traditions By Julie Roscoe Assistant News Editor The senior class is preparing to make its contribution to the university and the president of the class of 1992, Allen Tho- mas, wants to make tradition thethemeof the gift. Thomas' idea is to replace the tempo- rary stage structure on the mall in the center ot campus, with a permanent one. He then wants to include time capsules representing each class built into the back ol the stage. "We need a permanent area out there and when it's not being used for functions it's always there for someone to use for a picnic or lunch or anything Thomas said. "It will help beautify that part of cam- pus The tradition would start with the class of 1992's collection of items repre- senting the events of the year and would continue every year until it is full. Then in 80 vears or so it could be opened and examined. "Every year there would be a cer- emony when the senior class would put in their block area things from that year Thomas said. "It would have a little vault where you put information, maybe a pro- gram from the Peach Bowl, a paper from The East Carolinian, different things from our university that happened this year Building the stage will require an un- usually large sum ot money for a senior class gift and cooperation from the whole university. The ?GA usually pays for the senior class gift, but this year the SGA is short on funds (only having $7,435 to spend on appropriations) and will not bo able to give very generously. This only makes Thomas more determined to ask for assis- tance from different organizations. "To do it we are going to need coop- eration and hclp from all groups on cam- pus Thomas said. "Since this will benefit our entire university and help begin tradi- tion, it should be something all groups get excited about being a part of, including faculty,staff and students Thomas said he wants to get help from any gToup on campus. If a group can help supply materials or man-power or even brain-power, Thomas is willing to use it. The next step for Thomas is visiting Chancellor Richard Eakin and Dr. Al Mathews, vice-chancellor for student ar- fairs. Thomas wants to get their advice and input on the project's initial problems, such as funding and construction. Armor all Photo by Kavin Amos ?

After the confusionin the falll of 1991 with several students run- ning for offices and later finding out they were ineligible because of lack of hours, the committee listed the hours needed to qualify. "Students puttime,energyand money into the campaigns only to find out they did not qualify, this resolution would solve that prob- lem Kristie Hoffsteddcr, of the committee, said. The qualifications are freshman: 0-31, sophomore: 32- 63, junior: 64-95 and senior: 96 plus. Students must be enrolled full-time which for undergraduates is 12 se- mester hours and for graduates is nine hours or six hours plus an assistantship. During debate, John Washko objected to the hours qualification. The point was also raised that business majors graduate with 120 hours so they could possibly have onlv 90 before elections and then they would not qualify. The resolution passed.

The grants from the two com- panies will be used to expand the computer workstationsavailable to students and faculty and to develop high-tech computervideo class- rooms. The classrooms will have projection monitors that will allow facultv to use multi-media and computer assisted instruction technologies in their lectures. Having a partnership with the two companies represents "a bold approach (by ECU) to strengthen undergraduate educational excel- lence in teaching, and commitment to research, scholarship and ere- ativeactivities Ernest Marshbum, director of ECU Academic Com- puting, said. The university isadding nearly $1.5 million to the corporation part- nership monies, in order to support a set of initiatives in the "Academic Commitment to Excellence Through Computing Marshbum said. The money from the univer- sity will be used to increase the number of workstations in campus computer labs and to expand the usage of computer technologies in all of ECU'sacademicdepartments. Included in IBM's $180,000 grant were 28 of its 386-class per- sonal computers, 11 laser and dot matrix printers, CD Rom and acces- sories and numerous licenses fur personal computer software.

Opinion Page 4, Tuesday, February 18, 1992 Pitzer need student's support After Patrick Pitzer's announcment of his candidacy for one of Greenville's at large city council seats, the question of student involvement in local politics comes to mind. The city of Greenville has a long history of conflicts with our campus (or more spe- cifically students than the university itself). In the past, student issues such as noise ordinances, restriction Halloween festivities and various other affairs have differed with city positions. When one city manager stood up for the students concerning the noise ordinance which curtailed social events, he shortly there- after lost his job. The city seems to be indif- ferent to the wants of the students. We do not have to endure this treat- ment. ECU students figure prominently in the population of Greenville. This is apparent to anyone who has spent a stuffy summer in the emerald city. Traffic, an arguable measure of population density, vastly increases as stu- dents return. Students bring more than their stereos and pictures of mom when they arrive in mid- August. They also bring dollars. Apart from tobacco, students fund Greenville. With this in mind, a truth is evident: We need a voice in city affairs. Because we live in a democracy, the students of our university have a chance to stand up to the city and exercise our control our right to influence. With a student popu- lation of 17,000, over a third of the entire city's population, the campus could easily elect a student to the mayor's office, much less a student to the city council. The last person to win a city council seat won with 5,000 votes. It would be appalling, if not slightly embarrassing, if Pitzer does not win as many votes. Thus, The East Carolinian hereby whole- heartedly supports Patrick Pitzer and rec- ommends highly that fellow students should follow our lead. After all, it takes only a few minutes to vote, but it takes two years to makea change. Letters to the Editor Condom photo found unamusing To The Editor: The purpose of the Pee Health Educators ad East Carolina University is to help students improve the quality of their lives by creating awareness of crucial health issues and assisting stu- dents in making personal behavior changes that contribute to personal health and well-being. These issues include those that relate women's health, men's health, AIDS and sexu- ally transmitted disease infection pre- vention, contraception, skin cancer prevention and alcohol awareness. Every year the second week of February is designated "National Con- dom Week This year Peer Health Educators organized events and educational pre- sentarionstoeducatesrudentsconcern- mg sexually transmitted infectionsand to promote personal responsibility for their sexual health. The message the Peer Health Educators sent out in their educational programs is that the only 100 percent effective way to be free from sexually transmitted d iseases is to abstain from sexual activity. For those who choose to be sex u- ally active the Peer Health Educators promote the proper and consistent use of latex, lubricated condoms to red uce the risk of contracting a sexually trans- mitted infection. They emphasize that condoms do not eliminate these risks but just reduce thejn. The Peer Health Educator ap- preciate the publicity from The F.at Carolinian but I think the picture of the Peer Health Educator on the front page of the East Carolinian putting a con- dom on a penis model sends the wrong image of the Peer Health program and may actually trivialize the purpose of the Peer Health Educators and Na- tional Condom Week. AIDS is nothing totrivializeorlaughat It is no joke that the most recent joint study by the American College Health Association and the Centers for Disease Control indicates that from a sample of 19 col- lege campuses, two samples per 1,000 blood samples were infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Nationally, 20 percent of those sufferi ng from AIDS are between the ages of 20 and 29. This is no joke and no laughing matter. Peer Health Educators work and spend end- less hours of training time to conduct educational programs for their fellow students. They should be praised for their efforts not condemned. I would like to congratulate the Peer Health Educators for their efforts to educate their fellow students and bring the issue of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases out in the open on campus. I wish the best of luck. Suzanne Kellerman Health Education Coordinator Student Health Service Possible censorship worries student To The Editor In reading the article on the pro- posal for updates in the photo lab, I became somewhat disgruntled. The tenor of the article seemed to be that Mr Alexander implied the needs of the newspaper were going to be held hostage in order to assert editorial changes which will satisfy the admin- istration. These comments clearly sug- gest a from of censorship through the budget. I,asa student, value thecontent and oppositions expressed in The East Carolinian.The ad ministration has had adequate opportunity to state its' po- sition on every and any issue. The East Carolinian should havethenght, with- out the of budgetary threat to print the satire section and to continue "the paper's crusade on the wiretapping case The student body has the right to hear both sides of an issue. I hope that I have misinterpreted Mr. Alexander's comments concern- ing his disagreement with the articles and opinions expressed in The East Carolinian, in the discussion pertain- ing to resource needs. Kevin M. Doheny Sophomore Criminal Justice My Way Or The Highway U.S. should adopt 100 mph limit By Matthew Builey Editorial Columnist ZL (Editor's note ?The following is the first of a two part editorial.) Highway 261 That vatexpanv of boring nothing between Greenville and Raleigh Nothing to slow you down but Wilson and their "welcome" sign. "Welcome to Wilson, a town dedicated to about 15 words follow, but I'm always going too fast to read them. The speed limit on 264 is 55 miles per hour. Needless to say, trav- elling the limit is a rare occasion, usu- ally preceded by sighting a large American sedan, bristling with anten- nas. If I had a dollar for each person whoexceeded the speed limit this past weekend on our nation's highways, I could buy the chancellor's house and pave a new parking lot. Seriously, when was the last timeyouactuallydrove55mphina55 zone? Once, during your driver's test? You're not alone. Dick Ceppos, a writer in the automotive press, performed an in- formal survey of vehicle speeds re- cently. The report revealed that close to 80 percent of highway travelers totally ignore the speed limit, some blow by at more than 35 miles per hourover.Ohersobeythespeed limit, but would d rive faster if the law would allow. I have a modest proposal. In the America of the 90s, with the cars of the 90s, and the roads of the 90s not only is it possible to raise the speed limit, but it would be rather inane not to increase it to 100 mph, under certain conditions. Suburban dwellers now struggle through hour-long commutes that could be quicker. Those who live in states like Arizona or Texas, where major cities lie hundreds of miles apart, arecrippled by the65mph speed limit. The national speed limit should be 100 miles per hour. Bear with me, ye motorists of little faith. Mv criteria to safely raise the limit are simple. Three qualifications would have to be met in order for this system to work, each deals with a separate aspect of safety. Specifics of these standards later First, let's understand why there is a 55 mph speed limit, and how "Chicken Little" insurance lobbyists have brainwashed lawmaners and good drivers into believing that "Speed Kills thus keeping the limit from being raised. In 1972 a shortage of oil forced the government to take drastic action; the speed limit was dropped from 65 or 75 mph to 55 mph nationwide. The country, tired of long gas lines and high prices at the pump, groaned and swallowed the decrease, hoping it would iast only until oil supplies re- turned to normal. It only took a few years though beforetheSafetymongers-of-the-Uni- verse, insurance lobbyists, were jump- ing up and down, waving not-so-star- tling statistics; deaths by motor ve- hicle had dropped since the new law was put into effect How dumb do they think we are7 It doesn't take a physics professor to understand that the slower an object moves, the less the impact it will suffer in a collision. On the basis of the insurance companies' statistics, why don't we drop the national speed limit to 45 mph? Or how about 15? We could outlaw cars altogether. If people would return to walking, fewer would die in motor vehicle accidents. The point is clear; there has to be a com- promise between speed and safety despite the savings to insurance com- panies. As we will see, later in this riveting article, that compromise might come through the human de- sire to live a long life with all of one's body parts This "human nature" limiter has gotten lost under all the scarv "Speed Kills" propaganda Accord- ing to Richard Ceppos, in his essay for Car and Driver, "Bv nature, human' are self-limiting. They're nut inclined to perform any activity that the is potentially dangerous to their The only way to talk people into tak- ing risks is to give them a reward that they feel counterb klances the r ?

Brainwashed into believing that the speeder is a vicious enemy to pub- lic safety, law enforcement officials rail against tne idea of motorists zip- ping around at higher speeds, like $5 mph (The conclusion may be read in Thursday's edition.)

"Of course, unlike you, 1 oppose the war rather than advocating it, so I'm not be- ing a hypocrite by staying out of Partial Text of Clinton's Letter Dear Mr. Quayle: First I want to thank you, not just for saving me trom the draft, but also for the lovely basket of fruit you sent me . Let me try to explain to you why I sought your assistance in avoiding the draft. Basically, I don't want to die. I mean, that's at the heart of it. Can you really blame me? However, I've decided to join ROTC. I don't want to fight in Vietnam or anything, but I don't think I want to be unelectable two decades from now, either. I'm sure you know what that's like, ha ha. Thanks again for the fruit. Sincerely, or anyway as sincere as I get, Bill Clinton the army but still, thanks In a telephone interview, Quayle angrily denied his role in the sordid mess, saying, "You darn guys in the press stop repeating anonymous, unfounded accusa- tions! Except the ones make When informed that the accu- sations were neither anonymous nor unfounded, Quayle suddenly remembered he had a doctor's appointment and hung up. Students challenge new dorm policy Tin Amm camati d Press The Association of Students Who Like to Discuss Science Fic- tion And Occasionally Worship Satan challenged one Oi Resident Indoctrination's policies during the SAC. meeting Monday. v anng I Xvpwell presidentof ASWl 1 6FAOWS, referred to the policy printed in Mein Kttmpf, the official guide tor students living in the dorms The policy states, students using their imagination in the dorms will be severe!) flogged "Resident Indoctrination is trying to prove there's a eorrela tion between students using their imaginations and students chal- lenging dorm policies said Deep well. "Come on, gimme a break when was the last time a student had the guts or the inter- est to challenge a policy around here?" Deepwel! asserted that Resi- dent Indoctrination's policy is unfair, noting that those few stu- dents capable of using their imagi- nationsat all, consideringall those brain cells they've drowned in al- cohol, usually manage to stay out of trouble. Accordingly, at last week's SAG meeting, Deepwell intro- duced a resolution that would re- verse Resident Indoctrination's ban on imaginative activities. Naturally, the resolution hit a big old bureaucratic wall o' trouble. Rita Violatin Fashist, a senior Resident Indoctrination of- ficial, convinced the SAG to send the resolution to a committee for a vote. "I'm sure you can see why we have a policy against students us- ing their imaginations in the dorms Fashist told this reporter. "People start using their imagina- tions, and pretty soon they'reques- tioning authority, and you know what that leads to. These rules are necessary in order to preserve the master race from ? er, 1 mean, to keep order Fashist later convinced the committee that the anti-imagina- tion policy posed no threat to stu- dents' rights. "You people on the committee don't have any imagi- nation anyway said Fashist. "What do you care?" Deepwell objected to Fashist's comments before the committee, asking her, "Have you ever used your imagination, lady?" "Well, of course not Fashist replied, chuckling. "Why should I have to have any idea what it's like to do whatever it is I'm ban- ning?" Deepwell was then soundly laughed at by the committee mem- bers, and her precious little reso- lution was ceremoniously dumped in the trash. When the committee an- nounced the results of its vote, the SAG was almost completely unin- terested. "Frankly, I don't really care whether students' rights are be- ing violated said one typical bored SAG legislator. "Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm just here for the babes A few of the assembled legis- lators valiantly attempted to stick up for their fellow students' rights, but they were quickly decapitated, and the SAG meeting settled down to its usual nice, soft, useless, Gerald Ford-like self.

Thousands of refugees have already been sent back to Haiti, where they have been jailed, beaten, and hacked into little tiny bits with machetes. However, the administration intends to continue its deporta- tion policy, and today announced plans to extend it even further. "Our position is that fleeing economic hardship, coming to this country for economic reasons, is no t acceptable said W hi te House spokcsweasel Merlin Spitzwater. "Even if economics was only part of it. Accordingly, we're deport- mgeveryone whoseamresiorscame to this country for economic rea- sons, too. After all, we want to be fair about this The revised policy will mean the deportation of damn near ev- ery American with any European background at all, including Presi- dent Bush himself. American In- dians are reportedly pleased. Rec center to rise from Joyner Library's ashes ECU SNAPSHOTS don't take 'em seriously We're Avoiding More Drafts! 100 00 V a 8000 - 6000 4000 2000 - az The Amalgamated Press ECU librarian Bea Quiet tear- fully informed Amalgamated Press reporters yesterday that plans for the university's $18-mil- lion rec center will be changed a bit. Rather than build a new facil- ity, administrators plan to throw out )oyner Library's books and periodicals and install ping-pong tables and a pool in the building. Chancellor Dick Achin was quick to defend the change of plans. "When you think about it, every dime we sink into that new rec center could just as easily be put into expanding existing, use- ful facilities like the library Achin pointed out. "You could say that every new ping-pong paddle means one less paperback. "So, what the hell. Let's be honest about this. If its allocation of funds is any guide, this univer- sity cares more about athletics and crap like that than it does about providing students with one of the most basic resources they need to complete their educations: a well-stocked, up-to-date library "This whole thing is a trav- esty Quiet whispered fiercely, straining to make herself heard above the sounds of construction workers. She tried to say more, but one of the workers dragged her from the building and depos- ited her on top of a heap of dis- carded books. 7 1984 1986 1988 1990 w 1992 1994 Vote for David Duke in '92. Because at least you'll know you'll never do anything worse. Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why is it that we're the richest nation on Earth, yet millions of our citizens are homeless and hungry? Why are people mean to each other, when they don't really have to be?

Levitation produces original music Bv lini Shamlin Staff Writer Photo by Lian? H?ntsch?r Levitation has managed to do what lew uands in progressive music have tried to do ? produce an orignal Sound i I identity Their album.Coterie, has what it takes to make it big on the progressive charts. Imagine a group of attention- hungry English musicians whose selt-pnxlaimod interest in reincar- ivition, numerology and primitive religion reeks of smarmy superfui ality Beneath al 11 he hype,one would exped to find a pack of snot-nosed upstarts, a no-talent garage Kind that sees music as a rake to gather profits from the gullible American audience. Most of this may ho tnie oi Levitation, a new arrival on the American scene Even their name has a sappy quality and coupled with the fact that they claim to have met several lifetimes ago, anyone who listens to the hype they spew would be likely to turn away with- out giving thema listen. That would ho a mistake. In the wild scramble to find the next generation' in music, a lot of bands churn out the same dreary drivel, a stomach-souring blend ot folk music and 'bOs rock. Levitation is one band that s managed to break the mold, to turn away from the conventional and reach out in new directions. Billed as "New I lead Music" or "Mind Punk Levitation's unique brand oi music defies categoriza- tion. Their new album, Coltrw, has a distinctly '80s feel, with the jangle of the Psychedelic Furs, the haunting tones of the Cum and the drive oi pro-sellout Icicle Works. While their sound is compa- rable to that of those other artists, it doesn't seem to draw heavily from a single source. It is by no meai clear-cut imitation, but a svntht - - of styles that has resulted in s : thing entirely new. While the band has found i constant stylistic identity, the sep rate tracks demonstrate a dynamic range of forms, from the up-beat driveof "Squirrel" to thelight.swav- ing "Nadine" to the mournful la- ment of "Smile In every piece, there is a com- plex interplay among the instru- ments, like layers of sound th.it blend to forma swirling pattern. The strength of the bind is a product of five talented musicians from a vaneryot backgrounds, from jazz to new wave, that blend to create Levitation's distinctive sound.

In the late '60s esmith. Peter Fork,Mickey Dofenz and the evor-irrepmssible Davy fonesentered American homes ev- ery week as the Monkees. They worn a whacky, fun-loving rock'n'roll combo whose lives were so inter- esting that a sitcom could be built around them. The Monkees released albums as well, most of which hit the Top 40, though tew people would actu- ally admit to owning any. Their theme sting (quoted above) was a chart-busting hit, as were several other Monkees singles, including the classic "Last Train to Clarksville The Monkees were a genuine, popular culture phenom- enon, not so forgotten. Nesmith was the tall one in the stocking cap. The Monkees werealso the big- gest manufactured rock outfit ever, even more plastic than the New Kids on the Block ? if a bit mom talented. Basically the "band" wasa bunch oi actors with little musical experience who were hired to bean "American Beatles. Nesmith, the only member who actually knew how to play, went to the casting call and won the role of "Mike Nesmith His was the role of the quiet, introspective guitarist. Charles Mansen also tried out for a role but was unsuccessful. Nesmith's musical expertise was put to little use with the Monkees; he was able to play his own instrument, and he wrote a couple of the group's hits. His mass media experience with the Monkees project, however, seems to have proven valuable in light oi his sub- sequent activities. Through the 70s, Nesmith re- corded many solo efforts, pioneer- ing in theeountrv-mck field. In 1974, Nesmith formed the Pacific Arts Corporation, his own communica- tionscompany. The first Pacific Arts release was The Prison, a book aiid record combination that was the first part of a major work by Nesmith. In 197b, Nesmith's LP From a Radio Engine to a Photon Wing was released and pnxl uced the hi t "Rio" ?not to be confused with the Duran Duran tune of the same name. Nesmith filmed a video accompa- niment to the song, and thus was an idea born. While touring in Australia, Nesmith noticed a television show that featured performances by vari- ous recording artists ai J proposed an idea fbra similar sho v in America called "Popclips After much resistance anJ s- difference to the idea in the United States, Nesmith sold it to Warner Brothers, who turned it into the 24- hour music network known as MTV,which has become the mu- sk fashion dictating ultimate mass media super-giant duly elected bought and paid for voiceguru of a generation.

Though the play dragged occa- sionally in the first act, the second act had a nice flowing rhythm that balanced out the entire play. Along with the lack of speed in the first act, some of the musical segues were inappropriate and de- tracted from theaudience'sconcen- tration. Though at times fitting nicely with the action on stage, at least half of the segues seemed to have been placed just to fill up the time be- tween scenes. Also, the light changes that occurred stage right during the dance scene (one of the most impor- tant in the play) continually drew the attention away from the charac- ters and bothered the eye. Even with these minor techni- cal glitches, the actors carried off their roles brilliantly and wi th great reality. Derrick Parker, who played Lucien, gave a wonderful perfor- mance as a severely retarded man trying to live a full life. Parker's Levitation character choices were consistent throughout the play, culminating with his speech in the second act. In this speech, Parker broke from his character to concisely and intelligently tell the audience just how it felt to be trapped at the emo- tional age of a five-year-old. After the speech, Parker re- verted into his character and gave one of the most memorable lines of the play. "He's( Arnold, one of the four mentally impaired men) like nuts or something With this line and his child-like character, Parker stole the show and the hearts of the audience. Bray Culpepper, who played Barry, also gave a performance that tugged at the hearts of theaudience. Playing a grandiose schizophrenic, Culpepper dominated the stage in Continued from page 7 all of his scenes. Fantasizing that he was a golf pro, Culpepper made outstanding transitions from his outgoing, exu- berant character to one that is deathly afraid of his father visiting him. TheclimaxofCulpepper'schar- acter, and the play, came when Barry's father visits and causes him to revert into a catatonic state to escape his father's violence. Watching Culpepper curl into a ball on the floor and chant end- lessly, 'Tlease don't hit me, daddy. Please don't hit me, daddv the audience is moved with sympathy and compassion for the character. J. Ayscueand David Berberian, playing Norman and Jack respec- tively, performed their characters with admirable honesty, sincerity and reality. Avscuedelighted the audience with his fervent hold on his keys and his passion for doughnuts. Ayscue's constant line, "1 gotta have my keys. I can't get into any- thing without them' summed up his innocent character and its over- whelming need for security. Berberian gave a truthful look into the hopesand dreams of a man caught in a position that he doesn't know if he can continue in. Berberian fought between his love for the men hecared for and his knowledge of his own deteriorat- ing state. Tom between his responsibil- ity to the men and his responsibility to himself, Berberian finally makes the hardest decision of his life ? to leave the home. To round out the group, Jack Prather, playing Arnold, gave a performance that showed theaudi- ence a character, as Prather puts it, "that's just a normal guy with some problems As reluctant to change as the rest of the group, Prather highlights scenes with lines like "Loose lips sink ships and constant threats to move to Russia. 'The Boys Next Door" shows audiences the true life of the men- tally impaired. An honest and realistic look, this play will change forever the stereotypesand misconceptions into one single fact ? these people are just like the rest of us, with hopes and dreams. As the program says, "They hold the key to your heart form the foundation of the music, but not in the traditional sense of simple, beginner-book progres- sions. There is constant variation in the rhythm, which lapses into syn- copation and occasionally rises to blend with the harmony. Meanwhile, the guitarand key- board seem to battle for prominence, like the trumpet and clarinet of a Dixieland combo. The result of their competition is not a discordant clash, but an elegant interweaving of sound. The only constant in the aural chaos of music is the vocals that, when pleasing tonally, are often unintelligible, quite repetitive and somewhat illogical ? but if the lis- tener can get beyond the need to find significance in the lyrics and focus on sound quality alone, this minor flaw will be all but invisible. While the complex interplay of Lcvitation's music will confound audiences who are used to the simple, straightforward and bland drivel of mainstream artists, it will amaze listeners who can analyze the interweaving of complex com- positions. In many ways, Levitation is a musician's ensemble, designed for listeners who can sense and appre- ciate the ingenuity of its construc- tion. While Coterie is Levitabon'sfirst American release, it is their third album ? their two English EPs, Coppclia and The After Ever may be available from retailers who stock imported recordings. - The East Carolinian: Read it or Recycle it Pianist and symphony to perf orm Slatt Reports A famous pianist will be ap- pearing with the ECU Symphony to perform a collection oi hits and also to take requests from the audi- ence.

Todd Staff Writer "Praise the Lord! We won said a delighted Eddie Payne. ECU snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating George Mason University, 74-68 Monday night in Minges Coliseum. The Pirates are now 8-15 on the year and 3-8 in the conference. The team also broke a 15-game losing streak against the Patriots that dated back to Jan. 25, 1986. The Patriots lost the lead on a 22-0 ECU run with 7:56 left in the first half. The Tiratcs held George Mason to 20 first-half points on 29.6 percent shooting from the floor. Lester Lyons sparked the Pi- rates' scoring run and finished with 21 points, eight rebounds (equaling his career high) and two blocked shots. Point guard Ronnell Peterson contributed 16 points and a career-high eight boards. he team came out relaxed in tne second half Peterson said. "Guys stopped running the floor - I've got to keep pushing the ball Despite a lead of as many as 25 points, the Pirates let George Mason cut the lead to single fig- ures late in regulation. Only two Patriot players shot over 50 percent for the game, while ECU shot an uncharacter- istic 49 percent as a team.

Nightmare continues as Pirates lose Whitakei; game By Robert S. Todd Staff Writer The 1991-92 ECU men's bas- ketball season can be summed upin three words ? a bad dream The ailing Pirates (7-15) failed to connect on a three-point attempt in the final seconds of Saturday's game with American University, and the team lost, 69-66. The loss was the team's sixth straight throe in a nw in Colonial Athletic Asso- ciation play. "This game is like a reoccuring nightmare Head coach Eddie Payne said. The Pirates had a chance to send the game to overtime after Donald Grant sank one of two shots from the free throw line, but Lester Lyons could not get open for the final shot and Ronnell Peterson's three-point attempt fell short. ECU is now 1-riin games decided by five points or less. Questionable calls by the refer- ees left many Pirate players in foul trouble. ECU shot no free throws in the first half despite aggressive Amencan play. The Eagles shot more than twice as many free throws as the Pirates in the con- test, and are eighth in the nation in free throw percentage. "1 would certainly take issue with a lot of the calls that were made Payne said. "But that hap- pens every game Only throe ECU plaversfound their wav to the free throw line Saturday night.

After shixting an anemic 27.8 percent from the floor at James Madison, the Pirates managed to find the basket just 31 percent of the time against the Eagles in the sec- ond half. In a game that had 30 lead Changes, Payne said he felt ECU could have won. "It came down to a failure to execute said Payne.

Justice said he was "pleased with the togetherness (of ihe team) in the spring During the fall, the team had a hard time findingunity.

Marini will compete in the 5,000- meter run and looks to improve her four th place finish in the CAA Championships last season. Gretchen Harley should make an impact in the 800-meter with a year of experience. Cross- country runner Catherine Norstand should be a big con- tributor in the 3,000- and 5,000- meter races.

At erv Hull's game, fans ive to be turned away at gates because the stadium is packed. In early January, an timated 4,000 fans had to be turned away from a ireensboro Monarchs hockey game. Inside the i ireensboro Coliseum there was a standing- room -onlv crowd of 13,000 a reaming faithful. Did my ol you hear about that?

Ownersexecutives are supposed to be intelli- gent, and common sense avs that North Carolina has three areas that can support major profes- sional sports: Charlotte, the Inad area (Greens- boro, High Point,Win- ston Salem), and the I nangle area (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill). The financial base is here that is, the popula- tion level has continued to increase over recent years and moa- and more busi- nesses are relocating to the Tar Heel state. The geo- political layout of the state also weighs heavily, in that those sports not as promi- nent as others have an equal chance for survival (look at the ECHL's Icecaps and Monarchs). So you owners of the NBA, NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball are going to have to under- stand that North Carolina is starving for "big time" pro athletics. (nly in North Caro- lina can struggling teams till their stadium or arena night after night. Don't you think that teams like the New England Patriots, Sacramento Kings, Phoe- nix Cardinals, and Seattle Mariners wish they were here?
