She said the department ot Resi- dent Housing has already re- ceived 5( I1 more applications tor on-campus housing than thev in.u commodate, and theshort- age nt dorm rooms has caused pn hlems in dealing with inter- national students. "1 think tor the next two vears it is going to he difficult because we are going to have international students coming in, but weare reallv not going to have anv place to house them Fridlev said. "We have resen ed sime suites in IMk to provide temporary, over-night housing until thev find a place to live " Slav and Umstead dormito- ries closed last spring for reno- vations. Fridlev said the dorms will reopen as a single residence hall in two vears, and a wing of the new Slav I mstead complex mav he dedicated to interna- tional students. e have talked about pro- gramming the building so that a portion it it might be reserved tor those students v ho want to live in .n international erw lron- ment, both students form North Carolina and the States as well as international students Fridlev said. According to Lucy Wright, assistant dean of students, the International House closed be- cause the division of Academic Affairs wanted to designate a place tor International Pro- grams, currently located in Brewster. She said the offices will bring together several in- ternational programs including International Studies, Interna- tional Affairs and the Stud) Abroad program. These pro- grams will then come under the supen isionofa single director I he director will reportdt- rectlv to the vice chancellor of a ademic affairs Wright said. ! hree people have been inter- viewed for the job, and the po- sition should be tilled by the end of the summer Wright said there will be offices upstairs, and the large reception area downstairs will remain open for studentand fac- ulty functions that were carried out at the international House However, she said the entire building mav become offices if space for the various interna- tional programs becomes sparse Wright, who has worked with the house since Wni, said the house also gae the interna- tional student community an identifying space on campus. "Down the road it would be a very heaithv thing to have a designated space tor interna- tional students on our campus Wrieht said, "l think there is some interest in doing that, but right niw weareo pressed with space while the two dorms are closed we cannot do that until we get past this point ' Chancellor will stay in Greenville By Marjorie Pitts Stiff Writer photo by Di Th?

Chancellor Richard Eakin Mulitcultural center opens to bring ethnic understanding Over 40 cultures represented Financial aid credit check raises student controversy Bv Tony Rogers Staff Writer By Daniel Willis Staff Writer A center dedicated lo promot- ing ethnic understanding opened last month in Greenville. More than 350 people at- tended the East Carolina Multicultural C enter's opening ceremony on April 13 in the Greenville Hilton. The purpose of the ECMC is to bring informa- tion dealing with all the different cultures that exist in this region to one central location. In Titt county, more than 40 different na- tionalities are represented, imply- ing that information dealing with another persons native customs can always be expressed. Mohammed Ahad, founder of the ECMC, began the ceremony by addressing ways in which the ECMC can benefit students in col- lege, high school, and even grade school Ahad also mentioned how the ECMC would be useful to the business community regarding EASTERN CAROLINA information relating to interna tional trade Barry Gaskins, a Public Informa- tion Director, supports Ahad - views dealing with educational issues. "Cultural di- versity can only accent the educa- tion process by making each and every student more informed and aware about the world in which they live Gaskins said. Javier Castillo expressed ways in which businesses could profit from the system offered. "The Eastern Carolina Multicultural Center can be a re- source for businessmen where they can find information about countries in which they are inter- ested in conducting business Mayor Nancy Jenkins said the ECMC would create harmony TETURAL CENTER within the community. "Such an understanding is conductive to peace, progress and happiness of the people of the region she said. Jenkins cut the ribbon and congratulated Ahad and the board members. She also pro- claimed the week of April 27-May 1 as Multicultural week and encour- aged the city to participate in the week's activities. The ECMC will sponsor events that are taking place in upcoming months. Anlndian Eilm Festival will be held on July 10 at the Mendenhall Student Center, and an educational program titled "Multicultural Knowledge Im- plications for the Future" will be shown in September. Students rece: v mg financial aid suffered a major set back when a provision passed through Congress requiring all students re- ceiving federal financial aid to pass a credit check before receiving any money. The controversial provision, which passed in the Emergency Unemployment Act last fall, went into effect last October but the Department of Education has yet to set up regulations to enforce the new law. "I hope thev are not going to be too strict about what will pass said Erin Becker, a senior art educahon major, "lean see coming down on someone who doesn't pay their bills, but denying money for every bad check will put a lot of people in jeopardy. It scares me to know that a mistake I made years ago could still hurt me tixiay "It depends on what they're looking for said Josh Lesniak, a junior art major. "I'm not really worned about it, though Steve Baxley, a senkr in the communi- cation department, agrees with the government's nght to investigate any pos- sible credit risks. "If you're 21 and you have a history ot bad credit, the government has a right to know about it he said. "As long as you See Financial, page 3 Eakin was cine of the top three choices tor the position. In Akron, Eakin received support from the university's department heads and deans. He traveled to Akron Mav 1S and 1 to intjerv lew with university officials. The University oi Akron's enrollment is 28,00ft making it the third largest state-assisted university on Ohio. Before coming to ECU in 1987, Eakin spent 23 years at Bow ling C.reen in Ohio as the school's vice president.

You want to know who to blame for this The dilemma over the high pnees and the inability to sell back college textbooks rages on here on this campus, as well as on campuses all over the country. Students blame the bookstores, bookstores blame the publishers, and publishers want to make a profit "1 bought a book for summer school for $60, and I already know I'm going to have buy the new edition in the fall' said Pauline Swan, a junior majonng in nurs- ing.

They don't do it. The government has taken a step they hope will curtail the non-return rate, in the form of a credit check. Prospective students with a bad history of paying debts may find themselves denied an opportunity for edu- cation. Or perhaps any history will be held against the student. Though the provision passed through congress in the Emergency Unemployment Act in October, the Depart- ment of Education has still set no guide- lines. This evinces a typical problem of our legislative system and the state of education in America today. Solutions are constantly proposed without being thoroughly con- sidered, examined or tested. Any measure taken is considered an answer. Energy would be better spent finding ways to enforce delinquent repayment than casting strikes against a teenager who had trouble balancing a checkbook, or whatever criteria may be employed. Even an incom- ing student with a clean record will be branded with an inquiry, and that is cer- tainly no help. Our entire financial aid program needs serious restructuring and revamping to func- tion smoothly. Hassles and red tape are too regular for the student needing assistance, and this is very often the student who wants the education the most. Tacking on a credit check to a thoroughly flawed system can not make it suddenly work. Graduates have a responsibility to re- pay what got them there, with money or perhaps preferably service that befits their education. But let us not judge the college scholar by the novice high-schooler. Entertainment Maxwell's Silver Hammer Bush: Not gonna speak correctly By Scott Maxwell Editorial Columnist ANt FlaJAUV, A SVSTEAA &mAN7??t To fNSHRE RETURM OF COLLEGE. LOANS Esse Quam Videri guments By Parker Editorial Columnist As if the newly recharged ten- sions concerning civil rights weren't fun enough, this year also offers the impending overturning of Roe r. Wade And with each confrontation between pro-life and pro-choice groups, angers flare more and the country divides further. Many of the pro-lifers have in- genious rhetoric One nationally aired commercial shows a group of happy adopted kids, the results of unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. What the commerci-l doesn't show is the much larger number of un- wanted children who live in severe poverty and look forward to a life of mental and physical abuse. The self- proclaimed moralists don't do much in the way of defending mem. Most pro-choice advocates have an equally effective but skewed argument for their cause. Often fronted by groups like NOW, the prime defense is usually for a "woman's right to choose turning the debate into more of a civil rights issue. It's not. Women would have to be asexually reproducing creatures and an outside doctor not be involved for that to be accurate. The actual issue, which people used to discuss before it became a defining point for extremist political ideologies, is whether a person is be- ing killed. That philosophical ques- tion is what makes thechoice so hard, and what may make our court opt for the easier out of putting the decision in the state courts' hands. When is consciousness achieved? Does it come when a new- born is technically "bom or during some point of conception? Is the po- tential for individuality the same thing as being an individual? Catho- lic orthodoxy traces the potential all the way back to the sperm (hence no condoms), which still oddly allows for the "deaths" of millions even in fertilization. Pro-life advertisements often show visuals of fully formed fetuses to dissuade abortionists, and there is no apparent physical differ- ence between the embryo and result- ing baby (though incidentally, very few abortions are actually performed at that point). In other words, the issue is far more complicated and deserving of actual discussion than the billboard generalizations of "baby-killing" and "its my body" auow. With the re- moval of special interest groups, the divided public might discover it has more common ground than is appar- ent. A majority of both groups may be mostly opposed to abortion as mere birth control, and can take steps towards preventing that. Perhaps abortion could be forbidden only in the third trimester, where the call becomes toughest to make. What? A compromise on this fundamentally dividing issue? Surely 1 can't be suggesting such a thing. Well yes, I am. Without more toler- ance and at least a semblance of un- derstanding between the hostile par- ties, our nation faces an unending inner conflict that will continue to pull apart our leadership, our fami- lies, and to some extent, our society. On a purely legislative note, the expectation of our current con- servative Supreme Court to overturn the ruling destroys the "room for ide- alism" notion that comes with per- manent appointment of judges. If an untouchable judicial body isn't free from political struggle, then our na- tional aspiration for a common jus- tice has a bleak future. One thing is a certainty: if tile Rehnquist court throws the ball back in the hands of state government now after twenty years of the stand- ing law, "unrest" will not qualify as a description for the localized battles to come. X I don't normally complain in print about abuses of the English lan- guage, for two reasons First, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, these days, the English language is so badly abused by so many people that it's actually embarrassingly easy to write a column on the subject. Second, mere's always some- thing of more immediate importance, something mat needs to be written about this week. People will still be saying "incidence" instead of "inci- dent" next week; but who knows whether they'll remember Adnan Kashoggi that long? But I read a book this weekend that concentrated a lot of language- mangling in one place, and so here I am, complaining in printabout abuses of the English language The book is Bushisms, compiled by the editors of The New Republic. It's a collection of some of President Bush's unscripted comments, many of them made at press conferencesand campaign stops A "Bushism for those of you who don't read the magazine, is one of the president's characteristic mutilations of the language. Examples will fol- low Used properly, language evokes strong visual images, often through the use of metaphors, which sharpen and clarify our thinking. Used slop- pily, language simply sounds impres- sive and means nothing at all, or means something different from what one speaker intends, or even, in many cases, means two contradictory things at once. Sloppy speech indicates sloppy or duplicitous thinking. George Bush has an unparal- leled ability to use language in this way, to seem to say something with- out actually saying anything. For ex- ample, he almost invariably mixes his metaphors, indicating that he has no clear mental image to convey. Those metaphors he doesn't mix, he mis- uses, much like the infamous Ms. Malaprop. No one can be expected to speak perfect English, but Bush's speech is awful beyond belief. Let me give you some examples: "Please don't ask me to do mat which I've just said I'm not going to do, because you're burning up time, the meter is running through the sand on you, and 1 am now filibustering " 'The Democrats want to ram it down my ear in a political victory '1 don't want to get, you know, here we are close to the election ? sounding a knell of overconfidence that I don't feel "You've got to sha ke them (ca n- bou) away with a stick All of these quotes, by the way, are directly from the book, which also gives dates and contexts for the state- ments. Since our concern here is only with the language use, I have omitted the contextual information. More often, Bush is simply in- comprehensible: "High tech is potent, precise, and in the end, unbeatable. The truth is, it reminds a lot of people of the way I pitch horseshoes. Would you believe some of the people7 Would If these were isolated incidents, mere occasional slips of the tongue by a man otherwise noted for his clarity and precision, they would not be especially troubling But they're absolutely typical of Bush. you believe our dog? Look, 1 want to give the high-five symbol to high tech But the most disturbing quotes in the book are the ones in which Bush flatly contradicts himself, sometimes making his contradictory statements within days or even minutes of each other. He can't evtn keep his own stories straight. "I don't want to just sit here blamingCongress. I mean, we're all in this together Bush said to one news- man. A few minutes later, he told another: "I think the Congress should be blamed Over a three-month period, Bush made the following statements about his emotions: "I'm just not an emotional kind of guy "If I show some emotion, that's just the way 1 am" "I'm not too good at the emo- tional side " "We Bushes cry easily ' And, last but least: "If occasionally 1 do go up in smoke, it's not related to this line of work His series of com- ments about the recession was only slightly less hilarious. Listen in on this exchange, as Bush defended breaking his "no new taxes" promise: Bush: "Let me be clear, I'm not in favor of new taxes I'll repeat that over and over and over again. And this one compromise that ? where we begrudgingly had to accept rev- enues, revenue increa ses, is the excep- tion that proves the rule Reporter: "The exception that proves the rule?" Bush: "Therukthatl'rn strongly opposed to raising taxes Well, that clears that up. His agreement to raise taxes proves that he opposes raising taxes. If these were isolated incidents, mere occasional slips of the tongue by a man otherwise noted for his clarity and precision, they would not be es- pecially troubling, and making fun of them would be both unfair and child- ish. But they're absolutely typical of Bush. You wouldn't know it from listening to his speeches, which are about all mat most people ever hear from him, but his speeches don't re- veal anything about how he thinks. He doesn't write them. Listen, instead, to a press con- ference with the president ? not just the ten-second ex jerpt on the evening news, but the whole sorry affair, start to finish. I've done it more than once, and I usually have to lie down after- wards until the headache goes away. He speaks, but he does not communi- cate, and he thereby cheapens the value of language. The same day I read Bushisms, I read that the Bush Administration is- sued an executive order permitting the CoastCuard to return Haitian boat people to Haiti. The White House de- fended the action by saying it was protecting thelives of Haitians, whose boats aren't equipped to make the 600-mile sea journey to this country. If it was anyone other than Bush who came up with that transparently false justification for the policy shift, I'd be surprised. Or perhaps I should be worried: it would mean his disease is spreading. Letters to the Editor Students support Enrighf s view To the Editor: We would like to commend Dr. Enright for his insightful May 20th letter regarding abortion. In ithe states, The toleration of such moral mon- strosity diminishes us all noamount of perfume poured on 'tissue' can dis- guise the fact that we are killing our own young As pro-life students on a campus where pro-abortion attitudes prevail, we found Dr. Enright's letter encouraging. Based on statistics obtained from the U.S. Department of Health andHumanServices.ninety-eightper- cent of all abortions are done as a means of birth control or to hide an unexplained pregnancy. A mere two percent are performed because of a rape, incest or threat to the life of the mother. Studies by the Alan Cuttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, have shown that forty percent of all women who have had an abortion will have two or more. Furthermore, fifty percent of all abor- tions are done on women who use abortion as their only means of birth control. Many professors and students consider the pro-life perspective to be dose-minded and fanatical. Given the above statistics, we have to wonder who the cloee-umded really are. Many pro-abortion professors perpetrate their personal views on abortion in their classes, influencing students who have no preconceived ideas about abortion. Many studentsare unaware of the true facts behind the propa- ganda. Obviously, the issues surround- ing abortion are not clear cut; how- ever, abortion is dearly the taking of human life, not just the removal of unwanted "medical tissue Heather Lockey Junior Social Work Serena lanora Graduate Student Musk 9 A By incorporating distinctly different styles, Course of the Emr. complex.

"Alternative is just a label made up by somebody. It mainly seems to mean a band that hasn't had any major success Spahr said. When such a label can be applied to as diverse a range of sounds as the Cavedogs' twisted basic rock chords, the Dead Milkmen's grunge-punk in- sanity and the Smithereens' Motown smoothness, he has a good point. Soul Martini is a collection of solid rock and roll tunes (remember those?) deal- ing with various personal and social con- cepts.

There is a moment of silence, and then music ? in the loos- est sense of the term. The stvle is a mutant offspring of heavy metal: Chad Lovell hammers the drums like a spastic orangutan, playing simplistic rhythms at break- neck speed s; bassist Paul Semrad saws at a single string, machine-gunning eighth-notes while relaxing his fret hand; Mike Graff tosses in a handful of power chords from some beginner guitar book; and, above the cacophony, Vaughn Stevenson tries to sing, but endsupwhiningandscreaminga nau- seous imitation of Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne. The first six bracks, over half the album, aredone in the same style, with only dead air in-between to let the listener know when one number is finished and the next begins. In time, even the lyrics begin to sound the same ? a collage of cliches, repetitive and melodramatic. The last half of their album, with the exception of "Thrust is some- thing entirely different. "PeaceChild" is a simple tune, melodic and almost soothing, in which the musicians be- gin to make something other than noise with their instruments and Stevenson actually sings. Next, "Sins of the Fa- thers" allows Graff to set aside the electric guitar and do some admirable work with an a: uistk. The piece is light and sonon is, the antipode of some of the earlier tracks. The album closes with "Dawn of the Great Eastern Sun an instrumen- tal with an Oriental flavor ? smooth, serene and airy. The peaceful sound is reminiscent of Kitaro's work, complete with the interplay of guitar and synthe- sizer. Although the piece fills the bestsix minutes of the album, it seems dread- fully outofplaceamong the other tracks. Course of Empire's range of styles suggest that the band ishopingtoachieve a broad appeal, drawing in profits from both the heavy metal and alternative markets. The logic of this is question- able and the viability is doubtful. The two audiences are greatly dissimilar. The metal hordes will probably miss the point behind all the noise and will definitely reach for the "stop" button when the music begins to mellow. The altemabvecrowd, meanwhile, will prob- ably appreciate Course of Empire's at- tention to trendy political issues, but will probably be alienated by the under- tone of patricide and incest, if not the general sound, that putrefies the first half of the album. All the same, Course of Empire of- fers something worthwhile to both au- diences, and it's a pity that a CD can't be split in half and each piece given to an audience that will beappreciative. Hope- fully, the debut album won't be their last. Should the band decide to define their audience more clearly and tailor their sound accordingly, they may find success in the future. Public Enemy has provided the strongest voice for the issues that confront contemporary urban society ? without providing any real answers or remedies. Arrested Development's album, 3 years, 5 months and 2 days in theLifeof (the time ittook from the formation of the group to the release of the album) concisely addresses the issues that plague the urban community in terms any child, black or white, is able to understand. Their window to the issues is as clear as glass. Speech, the group's writer and producer, believes that the human spiritual development proceeds from the beastly to the angelic. He is trying to open the eyes of his community ? eyes that have been shut by greed, materialism and violence. "Too many black youth have taken on a destructive mentality Speech said of the black community. "Sheer materialism, low self-es- teem, individualism,a lack of respect for elders and life in general, have plagued the 20th cen- tury African in hisher community Rather than echoing the revolutionary cli- mate that has a grip on this country, Arrested Development offers solutions ? rather than simply restating the problems. Nearly every word on the album is an indictment of this country's problems and lack of religion ?even the name of the group speaks of the frustration they have felt in the strangle- hold of American society. Music is not just politics and Arrested De- velopment takes care of all the rest. Their "cul- tural-southern-hiphop-folk-ethnic-funk" de- scribes the group's music perfectly. It is all that and then some. In a wonderful twist from the usual Dread Head style of rap, they incorporate the har- monica, banjo and guitar to add a blues feeling no other group in their genre has yet to achieve However, they are not just another De la Soul or Tribe Called Quest. The music they create, as a whole, is very laid back, yet they hype up the tempo on sev- eral tracks. "Mama's Always on Stage" attacks the problem of single parent families being headed by teenage women and the lack of responsibil- ity felt by men today. A harmonica, incorporated with the unison calling of "Heyy strikes the listener and cre- ates a feeling of melancholy and hopelessness while the driving beat and hard rhythms keep the words moving at an excited pace. The story-like quality of the third brack, "People Everyday adds to the atmosphere of the confrontation of "a nigger and an African The song is a modern day spin-off of the Sly Stone anthem, "Everyday People Arrested Development attacks America's black Baptist churches for preaching passive resistance in the song, "Fishin' 4 Religion However, expressing the group's attitude towards the violence of revolution, Speech, with help from group-member Headliner, writes on the track "Give a Man a Fish "You can't be passive, you gota be active ? Can't go with what looks attractive Poor whites and blacks bumrushmg the system Raise your fist, but also raise your children Direct your anger. Love. Nothing is ever built on hate. Instead love! Love your life, tackle the government 'Tennessee the first single and video re- leased off the album, is an open letter to God which tries to redefine the use of "family tree Many more hits are sure to follow. Even if you do not see the veins of truth found throughout the album, the music is easy to appreciate. The amount of wisdom and en- joyment a person can buy for about $12 is in- credible. In addition to Speech's chores with the group, he and a friend from college have co- authored a column in the Milwaukee Community Journal titled "20th Century African" also known as the "black by black rundown so you don't get gunned down For the past year and a half, Speech has expressed his concerns in the column and re- ceived praise from writer Roderick Shaeffer in the May 1991 issue of Thf Source. do it your own way, but not Ice Cube's, Quick's or NW A's way Speech and his cohort wrote. "(They're) kickin' fantasy and you're the ones making it reality. The joke is on you, broth- ers. They're getting paid and you're paying the cost! Think about it" Maybe we all need to think about it.

Ihe hvpe surrounding this band's debut album bills it as "a group w ith a philosophicaJ m. moral agenda" aivf unabashedly latches onto every- thmgfrommassccHisciousnesstotrib- alism in a pretentious show of pseudo- intellectualism Course1 of I mpire gets oft to a bad start with "Ptah A soft musical mur- mur creates a background tor a pi tr reading, which is as cheap a rip-ott of the Moody blues ,is "Thriller" and twice as hokey here is a moment of silence, and then musk in the loos- est sense ol the term The st le is a mutant offspring oi heavy metal Chad Lovell hammers the drums like a spastic orangutan, playing simplistic rhvthms at break- neck speeds; bassist PaulSemrad saws at a single string, machine-gunning eighth-notes while relaxing his fret hand; MikeGraff tosses inahandful of power chords from some beginner guitar hook, and, above the i.uophonv, Vaughn Stevenson tries to sing but endsupwhirungandscreaminganau- seous imitation ol Aliceooper or OzzyOsboume. Ihe first six tracks, over halt the album, aredone in the same style, with only dead .ur m-between to let the listener know when one number is finished and the next begins. In time, even the Ivru s begin U i m und the same ? a collage of cliches, repetitive m melodramatic. Ihe last half of their album, with the exception of "Thrust is some- thmg entirely different "PeaceChild" is a simple tune, mekxhc and almost soothing, in which the musicians be- gin to ma ke something other than noise with their instruments and Stevenson actually sings. Next, "Sins oi the Fa- thers" allows Graff to set aside the electric guitar and do some admirable work with an acoustic. Ihe piece is light Mi.i sonorous, the anrJpode al some of the earlier tracks. Ihe album closes with Dawn ot the threat F.astemSun an instrumen- tal with an Oriental flavor - srruMith, serene and airy. Ihe pu eful sound is reminiscent ot kitaro's work, complete with tlie interplay ot guitar and synthe- sizer. Although the piece tills the KM six minutes of the album, it seems dread- fu 11 v out of placeairx ng theother tracks. Course of Empire's range ot stvles suggi'st that the band is hoping toachieve a bnvuf appeal, drawing in pmfits from both the heavv metal ind altemahve markets. Ihe logic of this is question- able and the viabilitv is doubtful. The two audunces are greatly dissimilar. Ihe metal hordes will prohahlv miss the point behind all the noise and will definitely reach for the "stop" button when the music begins to mellow. The alternate ecnnvd, meanwhilewill proh- ahlv appreciate Course of Empire's at- tention to trendy political issues, but will probably be alienated by the under- time ot patricide and incest, if not the general sound, that putrefies the find half of the album. All the same, Course of Empire of- fers something worthwhile to both au- diences, and it's a pitv that a CD can't be split in half and each piece given to an audiem e that will beapprtviative Hope- fully, the debut album won't be their last. Should the band decide to define their audience more clearly and tailor their sound accordingly, they may find success in the future. Public Enemy has provided the strongest voice for the issues that confront contemporary urban society - without providing any real answers or remedies. Arrested Development's album, 3 years, 5 months and 2 days in theUfeof (thetimeittmk from the formation of the group to the release of the album) concisely addresses the issues that plague the urban community in terms any child, black or white, is able to understand. I heir window to the issues is as clear as glass. Speech, the group's writer and producer, believes that the human spiritual development proceeds from the beastly to the angelic. He is trying to open the eves oi his community ? eyes that have been shut by greed, materialism and violence. "Too many black youth have taken on a destructive mentalitv Speech said of the black community. "Sheer materialism, low self-es- teem, individualism, a lack of respect for elders and life in general, have plagued the 20th cen- tury African in hisher community Rather than echoing the revolutionary cli- mate that has a grip on this country, Arrested Development offers solutions ? rather than simply restating the problems. Nearly everv word on the album is an indictment of this country's problems and lack of religion ?even the name of the group speaks of the frustration they have felt in the strangle- hold of American society. Music is not just politics and Arrested De- velopment takes care of all the rest. Their "cul- tural-southern-hiphop-folk-ethnic-funk" de- scribes the group's music perfectly. It is all that and then some. In a wonderful twist from the usual Dread Head stvle of rap, they incorporate the har- monica, banjo and guitar to add a blues feeling no other group in their genre has yet to achieve. However, thev are not just another De la Soul or I nbe Called Quest. Ihe music they create, as a whole, is very laid back, yet they hyp? up the tempo on sev- eral tracks. "Mama's Always on Stage" attacks the problem of single parent families being headed by teenage women and the lack of responsibil- ity felt by men today. A harmonica, incorporated with the unison calling of "Hevy strikes the listener and cre- ates a feeling of melancholy and hopelessness while the driving beat and hard rhvthms keep the words moving at an excited pace. The story-like quality of the third track, People Everyday adds to the atmosphere of the confrontation of "a nigger and an African The song is a modern day spin-off of the Sly Stone anthem, "Everyday People Arrested Development attacks America's black Baptist churches for preaching passive resistance in the song, "Fishin' 4 Religion However, expressing the group's attitude towards the violence of revolution, Speech, with help from group-member Headliner, writes on the track "Give a Man a Fish "You can't be passive, you gota be active ? Can't go with what looks attractive Poor whites and blacks bumrushing the svstem . . . Raise your fist, but also raise your children . . . Direct your anger. Love. Nothing is ever built on hate. Instead love! Love your life, tackle the government "Tennessee the first single and video re- leased off the album, is an open letter to God which tries to redefine the use of "family tree Many more hits are sure to follow. Even if you do not see the veins of truth found throughout the album, the music is easy to appreciate. The amount of wisdom and en- joyment a person can buy for about $12 is in- credible. In addition to Speech's chores with the group, he and a friend from college have co- authored a column in the Milwaukee Community Journal titled "20th Century African" also known as the "black by black rundown so you don't get gunned down For the past vear and a half, Speech has expressed his concerns in the column and re- ceived praise from writer Roderick Shaeffer in the May 141 issue of The Source. do it your own way, but not Ice Cubf's, Quick's or NW As way Speech and his cohort wrote "(They're) kickin' fantasy and you're the ones making it reality. The joke is on you, broth- ers. They're getting paid and you're paving the cost! Think about it Maybe we all need to think about it. Cavedogs reject labelling trend Alternative: "It mainly seems to mean a band hasn't had any major success" ? Todd Spahr Prine concert delights audience with variety By Cliff Marrow Special to The East Carolinian By Mark Brett Sfjff Writer Ihea vedogs want us all to know that, despite their fun-loving image, they are not pleasant people. "In real life guitarist Todd Spahr said, "we suck" If that is the case, thev hid it rmarkahlv well in a recent telephone interview. In fact, one would guess that the above statement is just an- other facet of the band's dislike of labels One of their least favorite labels, apparently, is "alternative This par- ticular label was slapped on their most unent album, Soul Martini, before the shrink wrap could cool. "Alternative is just a label made up by somebody. It mainly seems to mean a band that hasn't had any major success Spahr said When such a label can be applied to as diverse a range of sounds as the ( avedogs' twisted basic rock chords, the Dead Milkmen's grunge-punk in- sanity and the Smithereens' Motown smtxithness, he has a good point. Soul Martini is a collection of solid rock and roll tunes (remember those?) deal- ing with various personal and social con- cepts. "Love Grenade" takes a look at the explosion of the 60's generation and their ideals of peace. "Sorrow (Boots of Pain)" is an unrequited love song addressed to a death- rock girl. "Murder" delves into the sickening spectacle of televised wars as a source of entertainment. Song-writing is the Cavedogs' greatest strength, and on Soul Martini, while Photo by Mark Tuck?r The Cavedogs refuse to allow themselves to be labelled into any group of music. The same refusal can be heard in their music, which refuses to conform to any set standard. they catch you and you get labeled Spahr said on the subject. Again, labelsare something the Cavedogs try very hard to resist. When asked if they consider themselves a politically active band in any way, they replied with an emphatic "No claims an early love of Kansas and Yes, but his bandmates don't hold that against him. Asked if fans could be expecting a Cavedog cover of "Dust in the Wind" any- time soon, the band replied with another emphatic "No! But maybe 'Bohemian Rhap- sody All jokes aside, Spahr told us that, Bass player BrianStevens commented that while his goal is just to make good records, he found it odd we look to entertainers for political statements in America.

Todd Assistant Sports Editor There are very few schools in the country where a winning hase- Kill season would be considered dismal. ECU is one of them. Head coach Gary Overton is unaccustomed to losing - he can currently boast one of the best win- ning percentages among active col- lege baseball coaches. In 199(1, ECU Jaimed the best record in the na- tion at 47-9. Taking home theColonial Ath- letic Association championship had become habit ? until this year. The Pirates bowed out of this year's tour- nament with two straight losses for the first time in ECU's history in Colonial Athletic Association play. It would seem Overton might have a hard time dealing with the Tirates posting the worst record in schixil history, at 25-24, and the school's first losing season within theconference,finishingat 7-10. But somehow, Overton seems to find a way to shrug it off, knowing things wall get better. "Let'sjustsayitwasdisappoint- mg that our record was not as good .is we had hoped Overton said. 'We knew it would be tough to win a fourth consecutive CAA crown Sophomore sensation, Johnnv Beck, echoed the same feelings. "We were expecting more he said. "Some of the brakes didn't go ourwav A weak bullpen, poor fielding and lack of offense hurt ECU throughout the season. The lack of a consistent closer contributed to several losses, many that the Tirates were leading until late in the game. A strong man in relief mav have salvaged three of the the biggest games of the season tor the Bucs. Twice the Wolfpack of N.C. State rallied to overcome defi- cits late in the game. As if that were not enough, a heart-breaking loss in extra-innings to another Atlantic Coast Conference opponent, UNC- Chapel Hill, exemplified the frus- tration ECU felt all season trying to hold onto a lead. The shoddy glove work of in- fielders Chad Triplett, Glynn Beck and Pat Watiuns resulted in 59 of ECU's 100 errors. Along with those free passes, ECU catchers failed to keep the opposition from running. The Bucs let their opponents take extrabases, almost at will. The men wearing the tools of ignorance gunned down 20 runners in 100 attempts. "Our biggest disappointment of the year was our offense Overton said. "Not onlv did we fail to produce runs, wed idn't generate enough offense to get us in scoring position. Our pitching was solid, although our bullpen failed to hold onto leads The picture seems very bleak. Success is usually expected from the Bucs on the baseball diamond. The Bucs were not only shixiting for their fourth straightchampionship, but their fifth in the last six seasons. Fortunately, one bad season could never tarnish such a sterling record. For most of the Pirate faithful, the expectations of another banner slipped away before the start of the season. Juniors Tommy Eason and John Gast signed professional con- tracts with the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds, respec- tively. Eason and Gast, the core of the Pirate attack, were both named to the All-CAA team in 1991. In addi- tion, Gast took home Co-Player of the Year honors. "The loss of those two was great in nature Overton said. "Both of them had a chance to sign profes- sional contracts, which is certainly what we wish for all our players One of the few bright spots for the Bucs this past season was the emergence of Lee Kushner, a trans- fer from Rice University. Kushner bettered both Eason and Gast with the bat, but could not make up for the loss of both. "When we recruited Lee, we were hoping for some power Flk photo by Dall Rssd ? 77m Bmt Csrollnlsn UNC-Wilmington ended ECU's four-year reign on top of the Colonial Athletic Association's baseball charts by handing the team a 9-7 loss in the 1992 tournament. The Pirates can only look to next year to regain the title. Seahawks dump ECU in CAAs By Robert S. Todd Assistant Sports Editor Games are impossible to win with a low- octane offense, unless you have an impenetrable defense. For ECU, leads have been a mixed bless- ing. They have been as difficult to hold on to as a greased pig and the bullpen does not have any bulls. ECU left the Colonial Athletic Association tournament with a whimper. The Bucs failed to win a CAA tournament game for the first time in school history. In game one of the tournament, held at Harrington Field, the Pirates rolled over to the Dukes of James Madison, 2-1. Johnny Beck allowed only five hits while striking out eight JMU players over eight innings. The sixth inning provided the only scoring for both teams. Lee "Mt. Krushner" Kushner led- off the top half of the inning with a double to right-center and advanced to third on a fly ball to right field by Pat Watkins. Tom Moye drove Kushner in with a single up the middle. The bottom of the sixth was the only blem- ish on Beck's performance. Beck has had prob- lems with the big inning all season. With one out, the Duke's Jeff Kaufman drew a walk. After getting the second out of the inning, Beck let Kevin Nehring send a shot to right-center for a double. Kaufman crossed the plate easily. With Beck rattled, Brian Morabito dialed eight, sending the ball, again, to deep right-center for a three-bagger. Beck tften settled down and Chris Williams popped out to third. Neither team had a baserunner during the remainder of the game. The Bucs found themselves in a must win See CAA, page 8 Overton said. "He gave us more than an ample amount (of offense) from one person. Reluctantly, the rest of the team did not comply Unfortunately, Kushner may be lost by tfie time players pull up their stirrups and lace their cleats for the start of next season. "I would have to be drafted in the first ten rounds and be guaran- teed of education after I finish play- ing Kushner said earlier in the year. "I love Greenville, and they would have to make me a hell of an offer Kushner placed eighth in the conference in batting, at 353, sev- enth in RBI with 42 and third in home runs, launching 13 over fences See Baseball, page 8 Lady luck casts bad spell on softballeis By Charles Mitchell Senior Sports Writer At the start of the 1992 Lady Pirate fast pitch sof tball season,Head coach Sue Manahan was sitting pretty. Not only did she return with each player from the 1991 Colonial Athletic Association championship team, she added anadditionaJ player (Sherri Allen) to help fill thecathing duties behind the plate. As the season began, senior co- captains Chanel Hooker and Laura Crowder led the Lady Bucs into a year which would place ECU fast pitch in the spotlight of the nation. Pitchers Jenny Parsons (38-13), Georgeann Wilke (4-3) and Tammy Newman (3 appearances) turned in outstanding pitching performances. While seniors Christy Kee and Mechelle Jones added to the defen- sive scheme with their aggressive style play. The Pirates jumped to a quick 11-0 start averaging seven runs a game while only allowing the oppo- sition to one run a game. Defense played a crucial part in the Pirate winning style. Withsopho- mores Stephanie Hobson, Lisa Coreprew, Laume Farrington and Michelle Ward stepping up with caliber defense. The pitching staff was able to keep the heat on the opposition. After a few minor adjustments, the Lady Pirates were on track with their 19-6 record. Finishing fourth in the South Florida tournament and second in the Lady Pirate Classic. Manahan and her "Girls of Sum- mer" were slowly beginning to re- ceive the local and state attention they deserved. Juniors Camrnie Smith and Cherry Hobson sparked the Pirate offense, as ECU picked up big wins against Wright State, Drake Univer- sity and North Carolina. See Softball, page 8 Pirates ink key recruits in basketball off-season Payne gets 'twin towers JUCO transfer By Charles Mitchell Senior Sports Writer After a dismal 10-18 season filled with sidelining injuries and many losses under five points, ECU Head coach Eddie Payne has com- pleted what is now considered the best 1992-93 recruiting class in the Colonial Athletic Association. Payne's first signee was the 6- foot-10-inch, Don Douglas from Bishop OConnell High School in Falls Church, Va. Douglas, a 220-pound center, begins only his fourth season of competitive basketball after aver- aging 12 points and 10 rebounds for his 23-8 Knights last season. Also, he was listed as honorable mention All-America in Van Coleman's Fu- ture Stars, played in the Washing- ton,D.C-Virginia All-Stargamelast year and played in a summer league with several of this year's Georgetown freshman. Less than 48 hours later, Payne inked yet another 6-foot-10-inch signee. Bernard Cooper of Bertie High School agreed to take part in the 1992-93 Pirate program. Cooper, a 210-pound, three- year letterrnan at Bertie, was All- Colonial Conference last season af- ter averaging 18.7 points and 12 rebounds per game for the league champions. He was named Most Valuable Player lastsummeratNC. State's basketball camp and was the M.V.P. of the Ahoskie Christmas Tournament held last season. "Right now, we're real pleased with the two players we got Payne said. "As we ?et on into our pro- gram and people get more familiar with us, that can't do anything but help Quickly being dubbed as the "twin towers Dunbar and Cooper are expected to pay immediatedivi- dends for the Pirates. "We kxjked for guys with some height, some size and some strength Payne said. "We found two young men who are legitimate big men with strong bodies and good frames so that they can put on some weight. We think each can be a physical force for us After inking the " twin towers Cooper and Douglas, Payne added a premier guard to the Pirate pro- gram. Kareem Richardson offered his oral commitment to ECU in April. Richardson wanted to sign in the presence of his coach, who was out of town on vacation. The 5-fbot-l 1 -inch point guard from Rantoul, 111 was named the area Player of the Year. He aver- aged 245 points per game, hitting 30 percent of his 3-point attempts and shooting 70 percent from the free throw line. He led his team in rebounds, assists, steals and scor- ing. While being named as the top player in his area, Richardson was also named to the Illinois All-State team. He is expected to assist the currentback court ball handlers and may even work as the wing. With three prospective recruits, Payne set his sights on a South Caro- lina "little big man Greg James, a 6-foot-4 and one-half-inch forward from EauClair High School in Co- lumbia, S.C, became the fourth sienee for the 1992 Pirate recruiting r Pierson finds players to fill holes left by graduation class. "Greg is a young man who is a proven winner Payne said. "He is competitive and tough. I think hell bring a lot to our program James will bring a lot to the ECU program. He averaged 18.9 points and 4.8 boards per game last season for the Shamrocks, who fin- ished 23-5 for Coach George Gryrnph. He was named honorable mention All-America in several publications, includingHoop Scoop and Cage Scope. With four outstanding recruits in hand and the spring signing pe- riod about to end (May 15,1992), Payne was sitting pretty. However, his smile gleamed a little brighter after the announcement of two ad- ditional signees. Wilber Hunter, a 66 forward tromChowanCoUegeand Simpson "Bump" Toliver of Hargrave Mili- tary prep school in Chatham, Va were the final prospects to sign their rational letters of intent to play bas- ketball for coach Eddie Payne. Hunter average 16.4pointsand 67 rebounds per game for Chowan last season. The Raleigh, N.C, na- tive, was voted Chowan'sMVPand named All-Carolinas Conference last season. Hunter is often com- pared toformerChowanNCState basketbaUstandoutNateMcMillen, who now plays for the Seattle Su- personks in the MBA. Hunter's game style and leadership has net- ted him numerous awards. He was named all-tournament in the Coal Classic in Jasper, Ala and Se Racrultt. page ? By Charles Mitchell Senior Sports Writer After a 21-8 season and the graduation of five seniors, Head coach Pat Pierson had her basket- ball recruiting goals set. First she took a road trip to Northwest High School in Georgia to pay a visit to Belinda Cagle. Cagle, a 5-foot-10-inch guard, who averaged 20 points a game along with seven rebounds and six assists, was the first recruit in the Pierson stable. "Belinda is the type of student- athlete we were looking for to fur- ther the success of Lady Pirate bas- ketball said Pierson. "She excels in athletic competition and is also an outstanding student Cagle, as team captain, helped lead her high school squad to a 19- 8 record and to die Georgia 2A Regional Championship. In addi- tion, she was named to the Georgia State Athletic All-Star Team and to the Georgia-Tennessee All-Star team. "She is a strong perimeter shooter and, most of all, a very versatile athlete Pierson said of her first recruit Next, Pierson was on her way to the state of Virginia. There she had her eyes set on a jewel of a player. Kisha (pronounced quteh- a) Redcross would be the next signee for the 1992-93 Lady Pirates team. Redcross, a 5-foot-ll-inch, four-year starting forward at Gloucester High School, plays Plsrson's style of basketball. "Kisha plays a similar game to Tonya Hargrove and is the type of recruit we were looking for to re- place her Pierson commented. Hargrove was a two-time Lady Pi- rate MVP & the 1990-91 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year. She graduated this past school year. Redcross averaged 15.2 points a game, nine boards and shot 52 percent from the field. She was also named to the Virginia High School Ail-Star team and the All- District unit As to style and ability, coach Pierson said this of her second re- cruit: "She is very physical and goes hard to the basket. She defi- nitely fits thedescriptionof a power forward With two recruits signed, Pierson was still working on an- other. As expected she signed her third recruit in 19 days. Latesha Sutton from Green Central High School, here in East- em North Carolina, signed her let- ter of intent In her senior year, Sutton was second in the eastern Plains Conference in scoring (185 per game), first in rebounding (12.9 per game) and fifth in steals (2.7 per game). Asa 5-foot-9-inch guard, she was a Daily Reflector All-Area and East-West All Star selection.

He's an intelligent hit- ter Kushner is spending his sum- mer with the North East Collegiate League ? a wood bat league spon- sored by Major League Baseball. Scouts will have an eye on him while he plays in New York and may choose him high enough in the draft to lure him away from Harrington Field. The disappointments of this season should fadeaway with real- ization of the potential next year's team has. The possible return of Kushner, the return of the staff's ace, Beck,outfielder David Leisten, who finished fifth in the conference in batting and third baseman Glynn Beck, who hit 327 for the season. Beck will be sharpening his tools in the Cape Cod League this summer. "(Playing with wood bats) re- ally helps a pitcher a lot Beck said. "You can pitch inside more - there is more pop Beck may already haveenough "pop He finished second in the league in strike outs, with 91. Beck was only eight off the lead despite pitching 15 less innings than league leader Stephen Lyons of Old Do- minion University. Playing in the summer leagues, Beck said, will give him a chance to work on his pitching and get expe- rience against players from all over the country. "(Next season) I expect to be a lot better than 7-7 Beck said 1 feel like a ten win pitcher "Johnny Beck had two fine sea- sons Overton said. "We had very little run production for him. If we can get from Johnny as we have the previous two years, then he will have done an excellent job Immediate help for next season Recruits will be readily available if all of next seasons commitments come through. "We haven't released our re- cruiting list yet, but we have signed a freshman who can hut and prob- ably play rightaway Overton said. "We've also signed a JUCO transfer who was a pretty high draft choice out of high school. The reason I'd rather not release his name, is be- cause next Monday (June 25) is the draft and he could easily be drafted and never come to East Carolina. "Inanutshell,we're very happy with the recruits we've had this Spring The idea that a winning season seems dismal, as well as being the worst in school history, says a lot about the overall strength of the program. The Pirates will not suffer thmugh another "disappointing" winning season next year. Should the Bucs hold onto Kushner and their recruits, they may bring home one more flag for Harrington Field.

ECU received a post season invitation from the NIC com- mittee to take part in the 1992 Na- tional Invitational Champkmship to be held in Illinois. But as the champagne flowed ami happiness was abound, reality set in. ECU did not receive a bid from the NCAA to play in the 1992 National Championship in Okla- homa; however, the NIC host team.
